THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING A XLER. The Axler VM-2307CF Spruce is a professional four-section video monopod with a fluid head. This monopod provides you with twist locks to quickly extend each section up to 74 in. (188 cm) for overhead shots, or collapse the monopod down to 25.5 in. (64.7 cm) for low-angle shooting. Three locking feet help the monopod to reinforce stabilization, which can lessen the stress on your arm when holding your camera rig for long hours.
