It can be used for action, sports, travel, wildlife, and concert photography, plus vlogging and more. This lightweight, 4-section carbon fiber monopod features flip-lock joints, and has a maximum height of 71.3". The top has a quick disconnect collar system that can be unlocked or locked in less than a second.The monopod has a swiveling, folding base for stability, so you can easily follow your subject while capturing video. Fold the legs up to expose the rubber foot and use the it without the swiveling base. The base is removable and converts to a mini tripod for macro or tabletop photography. It features the same quick-disconnect collar system as the monopod and has a locking pedal to quickly adjust the swivel angle while standing. Review: Superb option for a high quality monopod for photographers and videographers alike - Pros: - Solid build quality while still being light weight and easy to bring around - Very quick and easy to make adjustments all the way through. I particularly like the foot pedal adjustment for the base - Can be used with just the base or as a full monopod - Love the versatility of this monopod. Great for longer lenses on the go Cons: - None really Overall: I've been so happy with this monopod. I recently got Fujifilm's large telephoto lens and was looking for something to pair with it, since hand holding it was becoming a pain. I do have a tripod, but find it quite cumbersome to set up and use with my lens. This has been the perfect compromise. This is very well made and feels solid all the way through, while still maintaining a light weight design that makes it easy to transport. The tripod style feet are quick to deploy and the angle can easily be adjusted with the foot pedal. In practice this works really well together. I love using this to help with panning shots when on the track and offers enough additional stability to let me shoot wildlife as well with my long lens. I actually don't do any videography really but I've still found this monopod to be a great addition to my kit. I use it more than my tripod now! 100% would recommend. Review: This one feels more refined and thoughtfully engineered. - The IFOOTAGE Cobra 3 C180F monopod exceeded my expectations in both build quality and usability. Right out of the box, it feels extremely solid and professional without being overly heavy to carry around for long shoots. The quick-lock system is one of the best features. Extending and adjusting the monopod is fast and smooth, which makes a huge difference when shooting events, sports, wildlife, or fast-moving situations where you don’t have time to fight with traditional twist locks. The carbon fiber construction keeps it lightweight while still feeling very stable even with heavier camera setups. I tested it with a mirrorless camera and telephoto lens combination, and it handled the weight confidently with minimal flex. Another thing I really liked was the modular design. The ability to quickly switch configurations and the overall versatility make it much more useful than a standard monopod. The foot base also provides smooth movement and added stability for video work. Compared to other monopods I’ve used over the years, this one feels more refined and thoughtfully engineered. The locking mechanisms feel secure, the materials are high quality, and everything operates smoothly. Overall, this is an excellent monopod for photographers and videographers who want portability without sacrificing stability. Great for travel, sports, weddings, nature photography, and professional video work. ## Features - ⭐⭐【Innovative Pedal Locking Monopod】:Effortlessly lock and unlock the monopod for 360° swiveling by pressing the pedal with your foot; no need to bend over or rotate knobs.

I purchased a Komodo KS5 fluid head to go with my Cobra 3. The iFootage Cobra 3 carry bag, which btw, I feel is a very good bag (robust and well padded) it has a 'pop out' end to extend the length and accomodate the fluid head which makes the bag longer, I just measured mine (extended to accomodate the fluid head), it is 32.5 inches or 82.5cm long, maybe roughly 5 inches in diameter. Hope that helps. **Q: I can not find any reference to Cobra 3 by ifootage being released. Is this official orginal from ifootage?** A: Dear Customer, Yes, this Cobra 3 is official orginal from ifootage. It's Pre Sales Edition for fans. The trade editions of Cobra 3 series Monopods will be released in March 2023. The pre -sales edition and the trade edition are completely the same in design, appearance and function, but are difference in the distinguish codes of the product. Ifootage-official Store is authorised to sell Ifootage' products, all the products are official orginal from ifootage. If you have any problem, don't hesitate to contact us, we are always here glad to help! **Q: Is there an option to lock the ball head at the base in any desired position like in cobra 2, or it has only 2 options: locked in center and unlocked?** A: Dear Customer, In Cobra 3 C180, with the pedal, you can lock the monopod in vertical or unlock for 360° swiveling and 40° tilting. And adjust damping of swiveling and tilting with the damping knob. But can't lock the the ball head at the base in any desired position. **Q: I have the cobra C180 ii can I just buy the pedal locking ball head and feet?** A: The monopod base with pedal locking system also will be sold separately. It is universal for both Cobra 2 and Cobra 3 monopods. When it's in stock, you can buy one to connect with your Cobra 2 C180 ii. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb option for a high quality monopod for photographers and videographers alike *by T***M on 13 September 2024* Pros: - Solid build quality while still being light weight and easy to bring around - Very quick and easy to make adjustments all the way through.

I shoot birds predominantly, and there can be long periods of waiting for the shot. Holding the camera steady sometimes above head height becomes tiring and having the camera supported should make a difference. On unboxing, I was so impressed by the thought that has gone into the monopod. The carbon fibre moved smoothly extending or retracting. The clip locks are re-assuringly solid. The minipod feet settings were easy and the pedal locking foot operated control to allow rotation around the rotating ball head worked well. Rotating the camera on the monopod was smooth. The 1/4" and 3/8" screws being retractable enabling use with two mounts is genius. The quick release head allowed me to instantly whip the camera off the monopod to take a hand held shot, and because of the feet, the monopod stands in place meaning it doesn't need to be lain on the ground. Every about this monopod thing reeks of quality and learning from earlier models to further improve. The monopod is light. and I walked 6km through bushland on my first field trial without a problem. I already have a mini tripod, but the ability to remove the shaft and be left with a quality mini tripod using the lower section should be very useful. I have seen video of a large DSLR with telephoto lens being mounted on the mini section, with the photographer lying prone on the round to photograph water birds. Great resulting photos, but my days of lying flat on the ground for extended periods, and more importantly, being able to get up again, are long gone sadly. So confident am I of the stability of this monopod that I have shown my Canon 7D MkII camera with fully extended Canon 70-300mm lens sitting on the monopod. Not recommended outdoors, but does show how stable the feet are. Also note that this lens does not allow for a tripod collar. If it did, the balance would be even bettered as centred rather than off centre as shown. The carry bag is indicative of the thought that this company exemplifies. Great quality, adjustable shoulder strap, carry handles, but inside...a velcro strap to hold the monopod in place, a genius push out end to allow for a fluid head/ballhead fitting to go in the bag without removing, and a useful inner pocket. The company's after sale service is superb. I did lose the rubber foot that screws into the base of the tripod during my first outing. I take some responsibility for not checking, but felt it should not have been loose when shipped. I reached out to iFootage by email & the response was fast and helpful. They are replacing the part free of charge which is exemplary service. I also informed that although the quick release head works brilliantly for removal, I found it hard to re-attach the camera with the quick release head. They promptly sent a small video demonstrating correct technique which was helpful, and now with practice I have no complaint. This has been such a satisfying purchase. I am very satisfied with this monopod & it has already improved my bird photography by allowing longer periods in the field, with less fatigue, and a stable platform which has eliminated a degree of camera shake creating sharper photos. ## Frequently Bought Together - IFOOTAGE Cobra 3 Monopod Camera Stand with Pedal C180F-P, 71" Monopod for Camera Carbon Fiber, Compatible with Sony Canon Nikon DSLR Camera, Payload 17.64Lbs/ 8KG - IFOOTAGE Video Fluid Head, Video Tripod Head for Photography, Aluminum Fluid Drag Pan Head, Lightweight Tripod Head with Quick Release Plate, for DSLR Camera, Camcorder, Monopod & Tripod, Komodo K5S - IFOOTAGE Q38 Quick Release Plate, Camera Quick Release, Tripod Mount Quick Release System, QR Adapter for DSLR, Tripod, Monopod, Slider, Stablizer, Quick Release Camera Mount, Q38 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/514132179-ifootage-cobra-3-c180f-p-carbon-fiber-camera-monopod-71](https://www.desertcart.us/products/514132179-ifootage-cobra-3-c180f-p-carbon-fiber-camera-monopod-71) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
