Product Information
Full details
The 3 Legged Thing Punks Taylor 2.0 Monopod Kit in Darkness is designed for photographers and videographers seeking a strong, lightweight, and versatile support solution. Its key benefit is the combination of a robust monopod with an integrated foot stabilizer, offering enhanced stability for on-the-go shooting. A minor caveat is that its extended length might require some adjustment for users accustomed to shorter monopods. This kit features aerospace-grade magnesium alloy construction, a substantial 30kg capacity, and Punks 2.0 leg locks for secure adjustments. It includes dual 1/4”-20 and 3/8”-16 threads for broad equipment compatibility.

What is the weight capacity of the monopod?

Can I use the monopod without the Docz foot attached?
Yes, the Docz Foot Stabiliser can be detached, allowing you to use the monopod as a standard, more compact support. The foot itself attaches via a standard 3/8”-16 thread.
How do I switch between the 1/4”-20 and 3/8”-16 threads?
At the top of the monopod, gently pull the collar outwards and rotate it until the desired thread size is presented. Ensure the collar clicks into place.

Absolutely. With its 30kg capacity and robust magnesium alloy construction, it is designed to support heavy professional camera setups securely.
What is the monopod made of?
The monopod is constructed from aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, known for its strength-to-weight ratio.
How heavy is the monopod kit?
The entire kit, including the monopod and Docz foot, weighs only 677g.
Troubleshooting
Monopod leg locks feel stiff or won't tighten properly
Clean the leg sections and the inside of the leg locks with a dry cloth. Ensure no debris is lodged within the mechanism. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Docz foot stabilizer is wobbly or unstable
Ensure the Docz foot is screwed on tightly to the monopod's base thread. Check that the retractable legs of the Docz are fully extended and locked in place. Clean any dirt from the foot mechanism.
Camera mount screw seems loose or stuck
Gently pull the collar at the top of the monopod and rotate it to select the correct thread size (1/4”-20 or 3/8”-16). Ensure the collar is fully seated after making your selection.
Monopod extends unexpectedly
Verify that the leg locks are fully tightened. If the locks are correctly tightened and the legs still slip, there may be an issue with the lock mechanism requiring service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To begin using the Taylor 2.0 Monopod Kit, ensure the Docz Foot Stabiliser is securely attached to the bottom of the monopod. The stabilizer typically screws directly onto the 3/8”-16 thread at the foot. The spring-loaded mechanism on the Docz foot allows it to be deployed for stability or retracted flush for easier handling and transport. The top of the monopod features a combination screw thread; gently pull and rotate the central collar to reveal either a 1/4”-20 or 3/8”-16 thread, depending on your camera or head.
Compatibility: This monopod is compatible with any camera, ball head, or fluid head that utilizes standard 1/4”-20 or 3/8”-16 tripod mounting threads. The included Docz foot can also accept other accessories if the rubber boot is removed.
Care: To maintain the monopod’s performance, regularly clean the leg sections with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the Punks 2.0 leg locks are free from grit to maintain their grip. Avoid exposing the monopod to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures for extended periods. Periodically check all threads for wear and tear.
