Novo Photo Products – NOVO Mantis MP100 monopod
The NOVO Mantis MP100 monopod is a 4 section lightweight, heavy duty, professional carbon fibre monopod with generous 1.8m height from base to the top plate.Generous 32mm tube diameter top section to 22mm bottom section offer extremely sturdy support, with maximum load of 20kg. The 3 large twist locks offer firm grip, and excellent clamping to ensure the best performance whilst in use, yet are easy to lock and unlock with minimal effort required.
Closed (Min) length of 565mm and impressive 1.8m full height. The NOVO Mantis MP100 carbon fibre monopod is manufactured from “Super Weave” 8 layer carbon fibre with stylish outer pattern design, offering strength, rigidity and style to satisfy even the most discerning photographer, and meeting the demands of professional photographers, whether shooting sports, travel, or wildlife imagery, whilst weighing only 520g.
The rubber grip ensure a firm hold whilst in use, designed for longevity and professional use. Some foam grips can deteriorate with age, and aluminium monopods offer uncomfortably cold handling in use. None of that here, the MP100 utilises carbon fibre construction and rubber grip material with NOVOS embedded logo.
Other convenient features include the convenient Dual 1/4″ and 3/8″ thread, meaning no messing whether attaching a standard 1/4″ thread camera, or a tripod head with 3/8″ to the monopod. The rubber foot screws off to reveal a sharp spike. The spike also unscrews leaving a 3/8″ female threaded hole for replacement of the spike, or to attach other bases, such as the NOVO MVS-02 Monopod video stand (sold separately).
Features include:
- Dual 1/4″ and 3/8″ thread
- Screw off rubber foot
- Spiked foot, (3/8″ bottom thread)
- Detachable wrist strap
A detachable wrist strap means that the strap can be optionally removed. Comes with soft bag for ease of carrying over the shoulder, and NOVO 5yr warranty!
Alternative to the Novo Mantis MP100 is the MP50 Travel Monopod, which features 6 leg locks for, very compact closed length of 413mm, but shorter maximum height of 1.55 metres.
