Leofoto MPQ-404C 4-Section Carbon Fiber Monopod

Lightweight Support for Powerful Photography
Capture the action without being weighed down by bulky equipment with the Leofoto MPQ-404C 4-Section Carbon Fiber Monopod. Designed for photographers who need dependable support and freedom of movement, this premium monopod combines lightweight carbon-fibre construction with a substantial 25kg rated load capacity.

Whether you're photographing fast-moving sports, tracking wildlife, covering live events, or working with a heavy telephoto lens, the MPQ-404C helps reduce the effort of supporting your camera for extended periods. Its compact design makes it a practical companion for demanding assignments where speed, mobility, and reliable equipment support matter.

Premium Carbon Fibre for Strength Without Excess Weight
Carrying a heavy camera and lens for an entire day can quickly become tiring. Traditional support equipment can add unnecessary bulk, while lighter alternatives may not provide the rigidity required for professional camera setups.

The Leofoto MPQ-404C addresses this challenge with premium carbon-fibre leg tubes designed to combine strength, rigidity, and portability. Weighing approximately 700g, it extends to around 180cm and folds down to approximately 58cm for convenient storage and transport.

This makes it a valuable choice for photographers who move frequently between shooting positions and want substantial support without the burden of a full tripod.

Four-Section Design for Fast, Flexible Setup
In action photography, every second counts. Repeatedly assembling equipment or struggling with slow adjustments can mean missing a decisive moment.

The MPQ-404C features four telescopic sections with ergonomic twist locks, allowing you to extend or collapse the monopod to suit your shooting position. Its maximum height of approximately 180cm provides comfortable support for many standing shooting situations, while its compact folded length makes it easy to carry between locations.

The twist-lock system is designed for convenient adjustment, helping you move efficiently between different camera positions during sports, events, travel, and wildlife photography.

Support Heavy Cameras and Telephoto Lenses
Long telephoto lenses can be difficult to hold steady over extended periods. Fatigue may affect framing, make tracking subjects uncomfortable, and reduce shooting efficiency.

With a rated maximum load capacity of 25kg, the Leofoto MPQ-404C is designed to support compatible professional camera and lens combinations. Its substantial leg construction provides a firm support point while allowing you to reposition the camera more freely than with a conventional tripod.

The top mounting stud supports both 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch connections, allowing compatible cameras, lenses, and tripod heads to be attached according to your setup. Always verify the mounting requirements of your equipment and remember that the rated capacity does not eliminate the need to support and control the monopod safely.

Water-Resistant Twist Locks and Secure Handling
Outdoor photography exposes equipment to dust, moisture, and changing weather. Leofoto's MPQ series features a water- and dust-resistant leg-lock design intended to help limit the entry of water and debris into the locking mechanism.

A durable rubber grip and wrist strap help provide a more secure hold when moving between locations. The removable rubber foot is designed for grip on suitable hard surfaces and can be replaced with compatible accessories, such as a spike or claw foot, when additional traction is needed.

These practical features make the MPQ-404C a dependable option for photographers working across different environments. Clean and dry the monopod after use in wet or dusty conditions, and check all connections before mounting valuable equipment.
