The Gitzo Carbon Monopod Series 4 6-Section is a great lightweight solution for sports and wildlife photographers who need to support large lenses but remain mobile. The combination of Carbon eXact tubes in a larger tube diameter makes for professional level stability. Additional rigidity is provided by the Gitzo G-Lock Ultra leg connection system. The 50mm rubber foot with a pivoting ball joint helps with following moving subjects and adds to the stability with improved footing.
