Benro A38FD Aluminium Monopod, VT2 3-Leg Base, S2PRO Head, QR2PRO Plate, Flip Lock

The Benro A38FD Aluminium Monopod, VT2 3-Leg Base, S2PRO Head, QR2PRO Plate, Flip Lock is a lightweight, travel-ready camera support system optimized for mobile filmmakers, solo content creators, and wedding videographers using mirrorless cameras, compact DSLRs, or smartphone rigs weighing up to 5.5 pounds.

Engineered for quick deployment in tight spaces, this hybrid support system combines the vertical agility of a monopod with the steady, controlled panning of a video tripod. The base features large fold-out feet paired with an adjustable fluid ball joint, absorbing micro-tremors and allowing you to tilt and pan smoothly. For increased production value, the S2 Pro head features a 60mm flat base with a 3/8"-16 thread, meaning you can quickly unscrew it from the monopod leg and mount it flat onto camera sliders, compact jibs, or tabletop dollies without swapping camera plates.

Product Features in Detail

Fluid-Joint Stabilizing Base
The bottom of the monopod is outfitted with an extra-large, three-leg folding foot assembly that provides a rigid ground foundation. The integrated mechanical ball joint allows you to lean and pivot the monopod fluidly to track moving subjects, keeping your horizon steady and eliminating hand jitter.

Modular 60mm Flat-Base Head
The S2 Pro video head is designed with a universal flat base. This allows the user to seamlessly share the head between the travel monopod and other production tools—like linear sliders or half-ball tripod adapters—making it an excellent multi-purpose core for small kits.

Three-Lever Rapid Flip Locks
The monopod riser utilizes a 4-section column controlled by three independent, high-tension flip locks. This layout allows the operator to collapse or extend the entire monopod to its maximum height within seconds, making it ideal for fast-paced event coverage.

Dual 1/4"-20 Side Accessory Mounts
The fluid head casting features two independent 1/4"-20 threaded mounting ports. This lets you attach articulating magic arms to hold external field monitors, wireless audio receivers, or compact LED fill lights directly to the head, keeping your camera hot shoe clutter-free.

Independent Pan and Tilt Axis Locks
For precise static framing or single-axis operation, the head features dedicated mechanical locking levers for both the pan and tilt horizons. You can lock out vertical tilting completely to guarantee perfectly level 360-degree panoramic sweeps.

Travel-Optimized Fold-Up Design
Built specifically for creators on the move, the large lower stabilizer feet snap upward into a locked vertical position against the leg tube. This creates a streamlined, low-profile footprint that fits effortlessly into standard carry-on backpacks and travel gear bags.
