Sirui SVM-145 Rapid System Monopod: Versatile and Fast-Setup Support for Dynamic Shooting
The Sirui SVM-145 Rapid System Monopod is a professional-grade monopod designed for photographers and videographers who need fast, flexible support in dynamic shooting environments. Built with lightweight carbon fibre and Sirui’s patented Rapid System, this monopod is engineered to provide quick setup, stable support, and versatile configuration options, making it an ideal choice for run-and-gun and on-the-go shooting.
Rapid System for Quick Extension and Retraction
The SVM-145 features Sirui’s patented Rapid System, which allows users to extend or retract the monopod with a simple twist of the ergonomic twist lock. This innovative design ensures that photographers won’t miss key moments in fast-paced shooting situations, as the monopod can be quickly adjusted to the desired height without fuss.
Ergonomic Twist Lock Design for Easy Handling
The twist lock is designed with a rubber pad, making it easy to tighten or loosen with minimal effort. This ergonomic feature provides a comfortable grip, reducing strain during extended use and ensuring stable support, even in challenging environments.
Lightweight, Durable Carbon Fibre Construction
Crafted from carbon fibre, the SVM-145 is both lightweight and strong, ideal for mobile shooting setups. Weighing just 1.49 kg, it’s easy to carry without sacrificing durability. The sleek black carbon fibre and metal grey finish allow the monopod to blend discreetly into low-light environments, helping photographers stay unobtrusive and focused on their subject.
Multiple Configurations for Versatile Shooting
The SVM-145 is designed to be highly versatile, allowing it to be configured in several ways:
- Monopod / Monopod with Feet: Ideal for daily shooting, simulating drone shots, and scenarios where a full tripod isn’t suitable.
- With Optional Extension Rod (sold separately): Perfect for situations requiring extra height, such as telephoto lens usage, travel shots, or simulating a camera crane.
- Tabletop Tripod: Useful for low-angle, tabletop, close-up, and handheld vlog shooting.
The extension rod adds an extra 30 cm in height, bringing the maximum height to 145 cm (or 165 cm with the SVM-165 model) and integrates seamlessly with the Rapid System and tabletop tripod.
Automatic Locking System for Secure and Fast Setup
The gray quick-release mechanism allows for secure attachment and detachment with a single pull, even when supporting heavy equipment. This feature enables users to mount their cameras quickly without careful alignment, ideal for fast-paced environments.
Rigorously Tested for Durability
The SVM-145 monopod is built to endure harsh conditions and has undergone rigorous tests, including temperature resistance from -30°C to 70°C, salt spray corrosion, and pressure tests, ensuring it performs reliably in extreme environments. With a recommended max load capacity of 5 kg (and a maximum payload of 10 kg), this monopod can securely support a wide range of cameras and accessories.
Adjustable Tripod Base with Ball Head for Flexible Positioning
The tabletop tripod base includes a ball head with 36° tilt in all directions, allowing for flexibility in positioning and stability on uneven surfaces. The retractable metal spikes provide extra grip on challenging terrains, while the rubber feet add versatility for different shooting needs.
