Sirui Monopod P-424FL + VA-5 Head

Sirui Monopod P-424FL + VA-5 Head: Follow fast-moving action

The Sirui Monopod P-424FL + VA-5 Head reaches a maximum height of 198 cm, bringing a long lens up to a comfortable working position for sports and wildlife. Its carbon-fibre monopod comes with a compact video head, so you can follow moving subjects with controlled pans and tilts rather than holding the camera unsupported. This set is especially suited to photographers working with long lenses, or covering events where a tripod would take up too much space. At a busy sideline, the monopod keeps your support close and easy to reposition as play moves across the field. For wildlife, the VA-5’s fluid movement is useful when tracking an animal through the frame. It also suits event coverage in a crowd, where the smaller footprint is more manageable than a tripod. The P-424FL has a five-section shaft and quick flip locks for extending or shortening it between positions. Its base can be used as a small tabletop support too, adding another option when you need a low, steady camera position. Together, the monopod and VA-5 offer a focused support setup for moving subjects, with useful modular details beyond a basic monopod.

A monopod with more options

• Carbon-fibre construction: The shaft combines a light build with support for camera equipment. That’s useful when you’re carrying a long lens and want a support you can reposition during an event.
• Five sections with flip locks: The quick-locking sections adjust the monopod’s length without a slow twist-lock routine. You can change its height as the shooting position or subject changes.
• Removable top plate: A quick-release collar allows the mounting plate to come off and be secured again. The reversible screw accepts either a 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 fitting.
• Tilt-adjustable base: The base has a lockable ball joint with up to 36° of tilt, plus rubber feet for grip. This articulation gives the monopod room to lean while keeping its feet in contact with the ground.
• VA-5 fluid video head: The head provides smooth panning and tilting, with a separate pan-lock control. Its spring-supported counterbalance is intended to steady tilt movement when working with heavier cameras.
• Arca-type quick-release plate: The included head plate attaches to compatible Arca-type clamps. The VA-5 is rated for equipment up to 2.5 kg, so keep the combined camera and lens within that limit.
• Modular base: The quick-release plate can also attach directly to the monopod’s base to form a mini tripod. Its folding legs have two angle settings, handy for tabletop work or a low camera position.

Height and load

The P-424FL extends to 198 cm and adjusts down to a minimum height of 81 cm. It weighs 1.9 kg, a manageable carry weight for a support that reaches above eye level. The monopod’s stated load capacity is 3 kg; the supplied VA-5 head has its own lower rating of 2.5 kg. For a setup using the head, use the head’s rating as the limit for the complete camera-and-lens combination.
