IFOOTAGE A400 Round Base Monopod, 79'' Photography Light Stand with Flat Base, Aluminum Studio Tripod Monopod Stand for Video Recording, Live Streaming, Interview, Payload 22lb (2 Pack)

Rock-Solid Stability (The Base is a Game Changer): The round base is the star of the show. It provides excellent stability without the huge footprint of a traditional tripod. It folds out easily and securely, giving me total confidence when mounting heavy strobes, LED panels, or even a camera/gimbal setup. The locking mechanism is quick and secure. Impressive Height: Reaching a full 79 inches (nearly 6.6 feet) is perfect for elevating key or fill lights to clear the talent or furniture, or for getting those high-angle monopod shots. Premium Build Quality: Everything about this stand feels professional. The aluminum construction is sturdy but not excessively heavy. The quick-lock sections are smooth and reliable, making setup and breakdown fast. It looks and feels like equipment designed to last for years of consistent use. Highly Versatile: Whether I’m using it for stationary lighting in the studio or quickly following action with a camera on location, the conversion from monopod to light stand is seamless.

I absolutely LOVE this monopod because it takes a fraction of the space of a conventional tripod, making it less likely to be tripped over, and way more versatile to move around. I love the fact that I can fit it into tight spaces that were too small for a tripod such as between my desk and a nearby bookcase. In fact, the flat bottom even lets you slide it under furniture so you have even more flexibility to move it right next to other furniture or move it so the pole is right against a desk and the base slides nearly underneath it. For that reason alone it's the perfect mount for a lot of content creators who do talking head videos while seated at a desk. The biggest thing for me is that I'm also a lot less likely to trip over the legs in my cramped studio space. The base is just the right size to ensure it remains stable, but for those who are concerned about tipping it over, you can easily place sandbags or weights on the flat bottom. The top of the pole is a standard screw mount, so you can attach floating heads, lights or just about anything. It's well made and very sturdy, and it locks in place with even the heaviest camera or lighting rig.

Very stable considering the small footprint of the base. Extends smoothly. Tightens well. Surprisingly worth the $120 price tag. 10/10

These things are amazing. They made my lightstands obsolete. The base is quite heavy and they are easily sturdy enough to hold a relatively heavy light with softbox attached. I am so impressed with these. They change everything about doing studio photography.

This stand has been a huge help for lighting and cameras at my church. It is solid with enough weight to it to feel like it wont fall over with a video light and diffusion on it. I wish the screw in on the top of the pole was a 1/4 20 with an adapter to go to 3/8. That is my only complaint with this. I had to glue the rubber edge protection onto the base but that isn't hard to do.

Very steady and good quality

I was a little worried when I ordered this but when it showed up I was very happy with the stand. Took about 3 mins to setup and put it to work! I'm using it with speedotron heads with no problem!

Super sturdy: I’m using them for studio lights with soft boxes, and they work great.

These hold a c80 with battery and modifiers without issue. Pretty nice stands all around, ifootage has a winner here. The mic stand style base is great for tight studios or home setups.

Belle présentation, semble solide il me reste à l’évaluer sur le long terme pour vérifier le mécanisme du pole.

The product itself is great. It’s sturdy and tall. With a thick pole that screws into the base. Unfortunately i had to return it for 2 reasons- the threading i needed was 1/4 inch and it comes with a 3/8 i believe. The other reason is that the base is about 40ish cm (or bigger) and i wanted it as a projector stand behind my headboard. The radius of the base meant that i would have had to have the bed pulled too far from the wall to make it work. So i went with another option. The base is quite heavy so will hold any standard camera with ease and most lights. Its rated to 10kg i believe. Very easy to adjust too with rubber grips on the pole to extend and retract. It is a quality product - maybe a little expensive for what it is but i guess it is perfect if you have the right use case and don’t want the traditional tripod style mounts.
