The base can be replaced with the included rubber foot for standard monopod use. The four leg sections are secured by twist locks, and it folds down to 27.2" for transport in the included carrying case. The S6 is a compact video head with 360° rotation, a posi-step counterbalance system, and variable tilt drag control. There are separate pan and tilt lock levers, and a sliding quick release plate helps to balance the camera.
Weighing in at only 2.6 lb itself, the Benro S6 Video Head is a compact video head capable of supporting cameras weighing up to 13.2 lbs.

There are separate Pan and Tilt Lock levers for lock off shots.
The sliding Quick Release (QR) plate helps to balance the camera and the head comes with a safety lock for the QR plate. The S6 Video Head accepts 501PL compatible Quick Release plates, making it easy to find spares or replacements.
The illuminated bubble level (requires CCR1220 Battery - included) helps to level the S6 Video Head, even in the dark. The adjustable Pan Handle can be mounted to either side of the S6 Video Head using the built in mounting rosettes. The S6 Video Head can be mounted to Ball Adapters, Tripods and other Camera supports via the 3/8" threaded female receiver on the magnesium alloy flat base.
Reap the benefits of a monopod with the stability of a tripod using the Benro A48TD Series 4 Aluminum Monopod with 3-Leg Locking Base. Able to hold up to 44.1 lb and extend to 68.3", the A48TD Series 4 is a versatile camera support thanks to its base which provides three solid points of contact with the ground. The base acts like a mini tripod, and its ball joint allows you to smoothly pan and tilt your camera. If using a pan head on the monopod, the base's ball joint can be locked so that you can pan with the head independently, or you can replace the base with the included rubber foot. The four leg sections are secured by twist locks, and it folds down to 22.6" for transport.
Add stability to your monopod with the Benro 3-Leg Locking Base. It attaches to any monopod with a 3/8"-16 female thread on its foot. The base allows for smooth pan and tilt movements due to a ball joint that can be locked with a wingnut-style locking knob.
