Benro Unveils the VT4 Monopod Base – Feet on the Ground, Camera Locked Upright
Benro introduces the VT4 Monopod Base, a 3-leg locking base with a foot-activated pedal built for photographers and videographers working in fast-moving, demanding environments such as sports, wildlife, events and video production. It enhances stability and control while keeping shooters reacting quickly to unfolding moments.
Smooth to Track, Instant to Lock
Designed to allow smooth, articulated movement while tracking action, the VT4 instantly locks the monopod perfectly vertical using a foot-activated 90-degree locking pedal when stability is critical. Tap the pedal again to unlock the ballhead for fluid movement. With a wide stance, adjustable tension ball and rugged metal construction, it provides confidence and balance when shooting for long periods.
Built for the Long Haul
A wide 54cm (21.25 inch) base spread improves balance during long events or heavy lens use, while two leg stop positions support controlled leg spread for different scenarios. Machined metal leg cutouts reduce weight while maintaining strength, and rubber feet improve traction on indoor floors, turf, pavement and other flat surfaces. The 3/8″-16 thread attaches directly to Benro monopods, or any compatible 3/8″-16 mount monopod.
“Whether you’re following fast action on the sidelines, tracking wildlife in the field, covering long events or stabilising a video rig, the VT4 delivers the balance, control and reliability needed to shoot longer, react faster and stay steady when it matters most.” said Helen Gibbs Benro Marketing Manager
