YC Onion PINETA Pro Professional Camera Monopod with Quick Release System

For the dynamic creator who cannot be tethered to a traditional tripod, the YC Onion PINETA Pro Monopod is a masterclass in stability and speed. Engineered for run-and-gun videographers, event photographers, and travel enthusiasts, it eliminates the cumbersome process of setup and breakdown. Its defining feature is a brilliant one-step quick-release mechanism, allowing you to transition from a stable locked-down shot to dynamic handheld movement in a fraction of a second. This isn't just a support stick; it's a complete stability solution designed for fluid, fast-paced workflows.

The PINETA Pro's versatility is further enhanced by its robust, detachable three-foot base. This isn't a flimsy add-on; it's a solid foundation that transforms your monopod into a stable mini-tripod, perfect for interviews, timelapses, or static shots where a full tripod is impractical. The base offers smooth 360° panning and a 45° tilt range, giving you creative control over your compositions. Available in two distinct variants to suit your needs: a featherlight Carbon Fiber model for ultimate portability and a rugged Aluminum Alloy version for maximum durability, the PINETA Pro is built to withstand the demands of professional use.

Key Features

  • One-Step Quick Release:Instantly mount and dismount your camera setup. A single pull releases the lock, saving critical seconds between shots and eliminating tedious screwing.
  • Detachable Tripod Base:The three-foot support base can be removed and used as a low-angle tabletop tripod. When attached, it provides exceptional stability on any terrain.
  • Fluid Pan & Tilt:The integrated ball joint in the base allows for a silky-smooth 360° pan and a 45° tilt, enabling you to follow action and create cinematic camera movements with ease.
  • Dual Build Variants:Choose between the ultra-light 1.15kg Carbon Fiber model for travel and the cost-effective, durable 1.35kg Aluminum Alloy model for studio or heavy-duty use.
  • 3-Section Telescopic Design:Effortlessly adjust the height from a compact 68cm to a full 158cm using the secure twist-lock joints, giving you the flexibility for eye-level shots or creative angles.
  • Universal Mounting System:Features a reversible 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 screw, making it compatible with virtually all cameras, camcorders, and fluid heads right out of the box.
  • Ergonomic Twist Locks:The rubberized twist locks are easy to grip and operate, even with gloves on, ensuring fast and secure height adjustments in any weather condition.
  • High Load Capacity:Confidently supports camera and lens combinations up to 5kg, making it a reliable partner for DSLRs, mirrorless systems, and even smaller cinema cameras.

Why YC Onion PINETA Pro Monopod Is Better

While standard monopods offer basic vertical support, the YC Onion PINETA Pro is a complete, integrated stability system. Traditional monopods require you to painstakingly screw your camera or head on and off, wasting valuable time. The PINETA Pro's one-step quick-release mechanism makes this process instantaneous. Furthermore, where others offer small, non-removable feet, the PINETA Pro features a substantial, detachable three-foot base that provides true tripod-like stability. This unique combination of rapid deployment and versatile support makes it a far more efficient and capable tool for professional videographers and photographers than any conventional monopod on the market.

Advantages

For Videographers:
* Rapidly switch between locked-off interview shots and handheld follow-cam work.
