Benro A48FD Aluminium Monopod, VT2 3-Leg Base, S6PRO Head, QR6PRO Plate, Flip Lock

The Benro A48FD Aluminium Monopod, VT2 3-Leg Base, S6PRO Head, QR6PRO Plate, Flip Lock is a highly versatile, dynamic camera support system designed for run-and-gun videographers, event filmmakers, and sports photographers. This hybrid kit bridges the gap between a traditional tripod and a handheld camera setup, allowing you to execute smooth, controlled push-ins, jib-style rising tracking shots, and rapid panning movements on the fly.

The structural core of the system relies on the VT2 3-Leg Folding Base, which provides crucial ground stability and adjustable pivot resistance, taking the physical weight off your hands while steadying your framing. For added utility, the compact fluid head features a flat base with a 3/8"-16 threaded mounting socket, allowing you to detach it from the monopod leg and mount it directly onto sliders, jibs, or tabletop rigs without changing your camera plate configuration.

Product Features in Detail

VT2 3-Leg Stabilizing Foot Base
The base features three fold-out feet that expand the monopod's ground footprint, providing a steady anchor that absorbs micro-tremors. The integrated pivot joint supplies fluid mechanical resistance, allowing you to lean, tilt, and pan the monopod smoothly while maintaining a solid point of contact.

Modular Flat-Base Fluid Head
The included video head is built with a standard flat base and a 3/8"-16 mounting thread underneath. This allows you to quickly unscrew the head from the monopod pillar and transfer your entire camera setup onto camera sliders, skate dollies, or cranes.

2-Step Mechanical Counterbalance
The head incorporates an internal spring-assist mechanism featuring two distinct steps of counter-tension. This helps neutralize the weight of your camera rig when tilting forward or backward, preventing the camera from flopping and reducing strain during long shoots.

Ambidextrous Pan Bar Configuration
Equipped with structural rosette adapters on both the left and right sides of the fluid head chassis, the included pan handle can be positioned on either side to seamlessly accommodate both left- and right-handed camera operators.

Dual 1/4"-20 Accessory Expansion Ports
The fluid head features two independent 1/4"-20 threaded mounting holes on its side panel. These expansion ports allow you to secure articulating magic arms to hold external production monitors, wireless audio receivers, or compact LED fill lights.

QR4PRO Quick Release Platform
Utilizing a precision-machined sliding camera plate, this system lets you slide your camera forward or backward within the mounting clamp to find the optimal center of gravity. This is especially useful when shooting with front-heavy zoom lenses or asymmetric camera rigs.
