The Benro VT4 3-Leg Locking Base is an essential upgrade for photographers and videographers using monopods who need greater stability without sacrificing mobility. This accessory provides a rock-solid platform for tracking shots and long exposures, though it adds slight weight and complexity compared to using a standard monopod foot.

It is compatible with any monopod that features a standard 3/8-16 threaded mounting stud.
Yes, once locked in the vertical position, the base provides sufficient stability for many long-exposure scenarios, though a full tripod is recommended for extremely long exposures.
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and ensure the ball joint area is clear of dust and sand. Avoid using heavy grease.
The VT4 is designed to be lightweight, but it will add a noticeable amount of weight and bulk compared to a standard monopod foot.
The legs are designed to fold up for compact storage, but they are not intended to be detached during normal use.
Check if the locking pedal is fully engaged. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the internal locking mechanism.
Verify that the base is fully tightened to the monopod stud and that the tension collar is properly adjusted for your setup.
Loosen the ball tension adjustment collar slightly to increase the freedom of movement.
To install, simply unscrew the existing foot from your compatible monopod and thread the Benro VT4 onto the 3/8-16 mounting stud. Ensure it is tightened securely before mounting your camera gear. For compatibility, ensure your monopod features a standard 3/8-16 threaded base. To maintain the unit, keep the ball joint free of grit, sand, or debris. If the base becomes difficult to adjust, wipe the ball socket with a dry cloth and check that the tension adjustment collar is clean. Do not use chemical lubricants on the ball joint, as these can attract dust and impede performance.
