Description
The Giottos 8970 is made from carbon fiber, and also has an added spring-loaded foot support at the base. By pulling down the foot support, and standing on it, you add extra stability to your monopod and camera. The four-section leg extends to up 75 inches (190 centimeters) but packs up small at just 24.7 inches when collapsed. Like all Giottos monopods, the foot is a rubberized ball foot, allowing easy tilt. It also comes with a tool kit, a hex key, and a handy carry bag. An interesting spin on an otherwise uninspiring but essential photo tool. The weight of the monopod is approximately 1 lb. 7 oz. Providing ample extension and easily carried, the Giottos 8970 is a well engineered and reliable monopod.
