BENRO MONOPOD FEET UNSCREWING ISSUE "SOLVED" DIY

[@vevideography]

I bought the newer version of this monopod and it still does what you're (Ryan) are experiencing. I was going to send my back but now I'm going to buy a nut and do the same as I like the monopod, but not happy that is moves around. Also, don't worry about the video not being so fancy. You got the point across and that's excellent to me!

whoah, this video needs more views! This has been such an issue with multiple studios I work with. Definitely going to do this asap. Thanks for sharing!

I just received my Benro monopod from Amazon today and sure enough the feet were loose just as you described. I tried to tighten them up and found the feet would not secure. I went to the local Ace Hardware and purchased a 3/8 in.-16 Hex Nut. They had the nut in two heights. I chose the nut with the lower height. I believe I payed $0.55 for the nut. I installed the nut on my new monopod like you demonstrated and it did the job perfectly. Thanks for the suggestion. P.S. Benro, if you are reading this. Why don't you include this nut with you monopods to fix this design flaw?

Thank you thank you thank you! I've never experienced issues with this until I changed the bottom, and then every single time the base was unscrewinging itself. Thank you! Like to this video.

I did it for my monopod and it really works. Thanks

Thank you very much for posting. I just fixed my Benro.

hi, my problem is when I attach this item to my monopod, I cannot move it around because it's fixed and there is no ball head for turning in all directions! do you think we can add a small ballhead and solve this problem?

[@IrreverentSOB]

I used teflon tape, i will try this method as it appears to be a better solution !

[@ejoly3]

Thanks for the tip! I've been having the same problem and I'm totally gonna try this. Another issue I have is I can't unscrew the red bit by hand. Seems to be tightened too much.

I have tripod feet of another brand that looks similar but this isn't working. Or am I not supposed to use the monopod without a head?

[@smiff4748]

Great video, what thread is the nut please

[@PhotographyByLenny]

3/8 in.-16 Hex Nut

[@Holkerzu]

Any solution if that nut was snapped in half?

[@DarioBarrosFilmmaker]

i have the same as you A48FD, it doesn't unscrew, suggestions? trying to reduce length for travel

[@shotbyryan]

What are you trying to unscrew? If you are trying to unscrew the feet I would suggest plyers if you can't get it by hand. But make sure you don't damage the monopod.

[@christiandavis3108]

Any tips on keeping the legs from sinking while to camera is on top?

[@shotbyryan]

Hi Christian, You can tighten them with an allen wrench. You'll have to fine tune it and make it as tight as you can but still be able to open and close the tightening clamps easily.

Thanks for the tip!

[@carlozbryant8893]

finally a solution lol thought I was the only one

[@HiJAZi59]

Thank you soooooooioo much

[@Joeyloreto]

Damn I have the opposite problem to this, cant unscrew!

[@ereceeme]

Well, I want to unscrew mine and it won't.
