The Pole Pod 11 Monopod with Tripod Base from Velbon is a four-section stand alone monopod with a two-section ULTRA mini II tripod base. The monopod has quick lever leg locks for easy setup and height adjustments. Both the QHD-33Q ball head with QB-3B quick-release camera mounting plate and the ULTRA mini II Tripod base are removable. The ball head can be attached directly to the tripod base for use as a mini or table top tripod and the monopod can be used without the mini tripod base. A carrying case is included.
