Varizoom CHICKENFOOT101 Monopod (Carbon Fiber) The 4-stage carbon fiber design allows the unit to collapse into a very compact form and expand to an extended height of 6.6 feet while retaining excellent rigidity. High quality twist-lock fittings provide easy and secure adjustment for on-the-go shooting. The 'chickenfoot' tripod base folds up for transport and locks down into 3 positions for flexible configuration, and it can even be removed if you wish to use the system as a traditional 'monopod'.
