iFootage Cobra 2 Round Base Monopod RB-A500

IFOOTAGE COBRA 2 ROUND BASE MONOPOD RB-A500

The iFootage Cobra 2 Round Base Monopod RB-A500 is a professional, space-saving camera and lighting support system designed for photographers, videographers, content creators, studios, livestreamers and production teams that need substantial height and stability without the wide footprint of a conventional tripod or light stand. Built around a reinforced 50cm diameter metal round base, the RB-A500 provides a sturdy, shake-resistant platform while maintaining a sleek footprint that makes it particularly useful in small studios, home content spaces, bedrooms, product photography areas, interview sets and other confined environments where floor space is valuable. The telescopic monopod extends from a folded length of approximately 76.9cm to an impressive maximum height of 201.96cm, giving creators excellent flexibility for positioning cameras, lights, microphones and other compatible production equipment at different working heights. A substantial 10kg maximum payload capacity allows the RB-A500 to support a broad range of equipment, including LED panel lights, COB lights, compatible cameras, tripod ball heads, fluid heads and shotgun microphones, making it far more versatile than a conventional camera-only monopod. Its threaded twist-lock system enables quick height adjustments while providing secure locking once the desired position has been reached, helping streamline setup changes during busy productions. The reinforced metal chassis is designed to resist deformation and unwanted movement, while the aluminium-alloy construction provides the durability required for regular professional use. A convenient built-in accessory hook also assists with cable management, helping keep power and signal cables organised around the stand and reducing unnecessary clutter on set. With its combination of a compact round-base design, more than two metres of maximum extension, heavy-duty 10kg payload and compatibility with a wide variety of photo, video, lighting and audio equipment, the iFootage Cobra 2 RB-A500 Round Base Monopod is an exceptionally versatile support solution for creators who want to maximise their working space without compromising on height, stability or equipment flexibility.

Key Features:

• Professional Round Base Monopod – The RB-A500 combines a telescopic monopod-style centre column with a solid round floor base, creating a compact support system ideal for photography, filmmaking, lighting and content-production environments.
• Space-Saving 50cm Round Base – The metal chassis measures approximately 50cm in diameter, providing a stable foundation while occupying significantly less usable floor area than the extended legs of many conventional tripods and light stands.
• Ideal for Small Studios & Tight Spaces – The slim vertical design is particularly useful in home studios, content rooms and compact production environments where multiple stands, cameras, lights and other equipment compete for limited floor space.
• Extends to an Impressive 201.96cm – With a maximum extended length of approximately 2.02 metres, the RB-A500 provides substantial positioning flexibility for overhead-style lighting, elevated camera positions and other production equipment.
• 76.9cm Folded Length – The monopod retracts to approximately 76.9cm, making it considerably more manageable when repositioning, transporting or storing the support between productions.
• Heavy-Duty 10kg Payload Capacity – Supports equipment weighing up to 10kg, allowing the RB-A500 to accommodate substantially more than lightweight cameras and accessories.
• Supports Cameras & Camera Heads – Compatible setups can include cameras as well as tripod ball heads and fluid heads, allowing creators to configure the stand according to their photography or video requirements.
• Compatible with Tripod Ball Heads – Mount a suitable ball head to create a flexible camera-support solution with independent framing and positioning control.
• Compatible with Tripod Fluid Heads – The RB-A500 can also be paired with compatible fluid heads, making it useful for video-oriented setups where controlled camera positioning is required.
• Excellent Lighting Support – iFootage specifically lists compatibility with LED panel and COB lighting, allowing the RB-A500 to serve as a professional lighting stand as well as a camera support.
• Ideal for LED Panel Lights – Position compatible LED panels at useful working heights for interviews, livestreaming, portraits, product photography, video production and studio content.
• Supports LED COB Lights – The substantial 10kg payload capacity makes the RB-A500 suitable for compatible COB lighting setups, providing creators with a versatile alternative to conventional light stands.
• Shotgun Microphone Compatibility – The versatile mounting design can also accommodate compatible shotgun microphone setups, expanding the RB-A500's usefulness beyond cameras and lighting.
• Multi-Purpose Production Stand – One RB-A500 can be configured for cameras, lights, microphones or compatible support heads, making it a useful piece of equipment for studios that frequently change their setups.
• Reinforced Metal Chassis – The base uses a reinforced metal chassis designed to provide a sturdy foundation and resist deformation or damage during regular use.
• Stable & Shake-Resistant Design – iFootage designed the reinforced chassis to minimise unwanted shaking and wobbling, helping create a more dependable platform for compatible production equipment.
• Durable Aluminium-Alloy Construction – Aluminium alloy is used in the RB-A500's construction, providing the structural durability required for regular studio and professional production environments.
• Quick Twist-Lock Height Adjustment – Threaded twist-lock mechanisms allow the telescopic sections to be loosened, adjusted and securely tightened with only a few turns.
• Fast Setup Changes – Quickly alter the working height when moving between standing interviews, seated presentations, product shots, lighting arrangements and other production configurations.
• Built-In Accessory Hook – An integrated hook provides a convenient place for organising compatible cables and accessories around the stand.
• Improved Cable Management – Power and signal cables can be better organised around the support, helping create a cleaner and more manageable studio environment.
• Excellent for Content Creation Studios – The compact footprint makes the RB-A500 particularly useful for YouTube studios, podcast video setups, livestreaming spaces, TikTok and social-media production environments.
• Ideal for Product Photography – The combination of substantial height, compact floor footprint and lighting compatibility makes it useful for positioning lights and cameras around product tables where space may be limited.
• Excellent for Interview Setups – Use compatible RB-A500 supports for cameras, key lights, fill lights or microphones while keeping the floor around presenters and interview subjects less cluttered.
• Great for Livestreaming – Cameras, lighting and audio equipment can be positioned around a livestreaming workstation without the large leg spread associated with conventional support systems.
• Useful for Portrait Studios – The 2.02m maximum extension provides excellent flexibility when positioning compatible lighting for standing portraits, headshots and full-length photography.
• Ideal for Home Studios – Specifically designed with compact creative spaces in mind, the RB-A500 provides professional equipment support without requiring a large dedicated studio.
• Excellent for Permanent Studio Installations – The round-base design provides a clean, organised appearance that can work particularly well for semi-permanent camera, microphone and lighting positions.
• Flexible Equipment Configuration – Switch the stand's role according to the production, using it for a compatible camera on one shoot and a light, microphone or support head on another.
• Reduced Tripod-Leg Clutter – Eliminating conventional spreading legs can make it easier to position several supports relatively close to sets, desks, backgrounds and other production equipment.
• Designed for Modern Creative Workflows – The RB-A500's combination of a compact footprint, high payload, versatile mounting and more than two metres of extension makes it suitable for contemporary photo, video, streaming and creator studios.
