The 4-section TR42ML Carbon Fiber Monopod with Arca-Type Clampfrom TR42ML Carbon Fiber Monopod with Arca-Type Clampis a lightweight 1.7 support that is constructed using a 10x carbon fiber cross-weaving pattern for durability and strength. Telephoto lenses and cameras that weigh up to 70 lb mount to the top of the monopod via its Arca-type-compatible clamp. Each twist lock is knurled for a secure grip and unlock to extend the monopod to its maximum height of 81". To collapse for storage or to shoot at its minimum height, the monopod closes to a length of 24.5". The rubber foot prevents the monopod from sliding on smooth surfaces and removes to reveal a stainless steel spike for further stabilization on rocks, ice, or snow.

Q: 1. Is this legal in carry-on luggage?

A: It is not an item that is listed specifically as being prohibited on any airlines that we know of, however before traveling if you are concerned you are advised to contact the airline you are traveling on and the airports you are traveling through to see what the local rules and practices may dictate.

Q: 2. Is it normal for this monopod to exhibit quite a bit of flex at full extension? Even when each joint is stepped down an inch or so, will it still exhibit some flex being a monopod? Or should it feel very stiff and stout?

A: My Sirui P-326 flexes very little. even at full extension. I own three other monopods, all of which were purchased before I bought my 326. If I were to buy another monopod, it would surely be another 326. For me, it has the perfect blend of support and size and works very well with my Nikon 300S, even with my 80-400 mm telephoto lens attached.

Q: 3. If I pair this with a RRS MH-1 will it be a stable platform when used with a Canon 5DIII and a second gen Canon 400mm 2.8?

A: I used this on an offroad African safari. Nikon D810; Sirui G-20x head; Nikon 200-500 mm zoom. Worked like a champ. Does exactly what a mono pod should do which is provide extra stability for long lens shots. Very compact and light weight which makes this nicer than my sturdy but heavier Manfrotto Monopod.

Q: 4. Does this tripod supports a Nikon D850 with a 70-200mm lens?

A: The K&F Concept D225C2 Carbon Fiber Tripod with Arca-Type Ball Head and Monopod will hold a Nikon D850 with a 70-200 lens, but if you want it to be the most rock solid without any movement at all I recommend purchasing a stronger and heavier tripod.

Q: 5. Does the top plate contain a set screw to prevent an attached head from accidentally rotating?

Q: 6. Does this tripod support a Nikon D7200 with a 200-500mm lens?

A: The K&F Concept D225C2 Carbon Fiber Tripod with Arca-Type Ball Head and Monopod is technically rated to support 17 pounds. While the D7200 plus the 200-500mm lens is under 17 pounds, I would recommend a stronger tripod due to the long focal length. Something in the 30 pounds plus ranges such as this: https://bhpho.to/4chmmGI

Q: 7. Can anyone measure the diameter of the smallest leg section ? Thanks

A: The lowest leg section (smallest diameter) is 5/8 .

Q: 8. Is this monopod's spiked foot removable, in a similar manor to the Giottos?I want to add a set of legs to it, and the monopod would require a 3/8 threaded female opening once the spike is removed.

A: No, it doesn't appear that the spiked foot is removable. The lowest section has a nice rubber cap on it, which rotates. When you turn it clockwise, the spike is extruded, but does not appear removable. Turn the rubber foot counterclockwise, the spike retracts into the rubber foot. It looks like it can be used either with the rubber foot, or with the spike extruded; the inner channel of the rubber foot does not have the female threadings you are looking for.

Q: 9. Can I use this to attach a Nikon SB910 Speed light to and use as a light stick?

Q: 10. Can the ball head be detached from this tripod?
