The Vanguard VESTA AM-204 is a lightweight 4-section aluminium monopod only. This 20mm aluminium monopod leg weighs just 250g and can take a maximum load capacity of 6kg, ideal for a smaller camera kit (from compact camera to a DSLR) or other devices such as a monocular. The height of the monopod legs can be adjusted from 45cm to a great working height of 140cm using the lever locks, with a rubber foot on the base. The 36mm wide canopy on the monopod allows you to mount any device such as a camera or monocular directly onto the 1/4" thread, though for maximum control we would recommend using a suitable head, such as the Arca compatible BH-45 traditional ball head. Please note that the load capacity of your chosen head may impact the maximum load capacity as the load capacity would be the lower of the monopod or the head. The wrist strap keeps the monopod close and safe at hand, and in use can help lock the legs by applying downward pressure, maximising the stability in use. So if you're needing a lightweight traditional monopod for a smaller kit, then may be the perfect solution for you. Click here to see all the monopods available from Vanguard.
