Benro VT2 3-Leg Monopod Base

The Benro VT2 3-Leg Monopod Base is a rugged, compact support accessory engineered to instantly enhance the stabilization, control, and balancing capabilities of a standard monopod setup. By expanding the monopod's single point of contact into a wide, low-profile tripod-style footprint, this base allows videographers and sports photographers to execute panning and tilting maneuvers with significantly reduced physical strain and zero micro-tremors.

The core mechanical advantage of this locking base is its heavy-duty integrated fluid ball joint, which allows the monopod pillar to smoothly lean, swivel, and rotate on the fly. When a fixed camera position or static framing is required, the entire articulation mechanism can be rigidly clamped down using an ergonomic, high-torque wingnut-style locking knob, converting your monopod into a highly stable, freestanding pillar.

Product Features in Detail

Freestanding 3-Leg Footprint
The base utilizes three fold-out stabilizing legs that significantly widen the lower footprint of your monopod structure. This added surface area effectively anchors the system to the ground, absorbing hand shakes and providing a stable foundation during prolonged shooting sessions.

Wingnut-Style Locking Collar
Outfitted with an accessible, high-grip wingnut tension control knob, the internal ball joint can be locked down tight within seconds. This allows you to rapidly transition from fluid, dynamic tracking angles to an absolute vertical lock for static lock-off shots.

Universal 3/8"-16 Thread Compatibility
The apex of the base features a standard 3/8"-16 male mounting screw, making it universally compatible with any professional monopod leg section that features a matching 3/8"-16 female thread on its bottom foot socket.

Fluid Ball Joint Articulation
The built-in heavy-duty ball socket delivers predictable mechanical friction. This allows the operator to perform organic, sweeping tilts and circular motion adjustments without experiencing the jerky, stuttering movements common to basic mechanical hinges.

Space-Saving Fold-Up Design
For fast packing and easy transport, the three legs fold upwards completely flat against the central locking column. This low-profile design ensures the base can remain attached to the monopod while sliding easily into standard camera bags, travel luggage, or backpacks.

Multi-Surface Traction Pads
Each of the three stabilizer legs is tipped with heavy-duty, high-friction rubber pads. These feet provide a reliable, non-slip grip on smooth, polished interior floors like studio spaces or gymnasiums, while maintaining excellent stability on outdoor dirt and concrete surfaces.
