The Manfrotto MVMXPROA4US Aluminum XPRO Video Monopod+ is a professional-grade video support built for filmmakers and videographers who demand fluid, cinematic movement on the go. Engineered with Manfrotto’s exclusive FLUIDTECH base featuring a 3D fluid cartridge, it delivers silky-smooth pans and tilts from a single connection point — a capability simply unmatched by conventional photo monopods.
Constructed from lightweight aluminum and collapsing to just 26.8″ for easy transport, this 4-section monopod handles loads up to 39.7 lb while extending to a generous 75.6″ maximum height. Whether you are shooting run-and-gun documentary footage or navigating a crowded event venue, the XPRO Video Monopod+ combines rock-solid stability with the mobility that only a monopod can offer.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Manfrotto MVMXPROA4US stand on its own without being held?
The FLUIDTECH base can be locked vertically to limit movement to the 360° panning axis, which may allow the monopod to stand momentarily, but it does not provide true free-standing function. Manfrotto advises that it should never be left unattended while in this position.
What is the maximum camera weight the XPRO Video Monopod+ can support?
The Manfrotto MVMXPROA4US has a maximum load capacity of 39.7 lb (approximately 18 kg), making it suitable for heavy professional cinema cameras, broadcast lenses, and fully rigged setups.
Does the monopod allow smooth video panning, or is it only for static support?
Yes — the integrated FLUIDTECH base houses a 3D fluid cartridge that enables smooth, fluid pans and tilts from a single connection point, going well beyond the static support of a standard photo monopod and making it ideal for professional video work.
