National Geographic's pioneering use of photography is a vital element in the success of its mission to increase knowledge of our world. Long recognized as a source of the most iconic and important images ever captured, National Geographic explores and records extreme environments and distant cultures. It also keeps a sharp eye trained close to home, documenting the unexpected sides of more familiar natural and human landscapes. Now National Geographic has teamed up with Manfrotto, leading producer of professional monopods and camera accessories with decades of experience, to bring you the tools that top explorers and reporters trust to help them bring home the best images possible.

Whether you're photographing around the world or around the corner, a sturdy, well-built monopod or monopod will help you get the best images by holding your camera still. By supporting its weight, it allows you to use faster, finer-grained film or silent digital settings which let you concentrate on framing while giving you room for artistic expression. The National Geographic Tundra support range, developed for the passionate amateur imagemaker, has been designed to combine low weight and reduced size with professional performance, top build quality, versatile advanced features and speedier deployment systems.

The NG Tundra Monopod provides support when you can't use a tripod. Simply attach your camera directly to the top platform and begin shooting. To make the monopod more compact, the ball head can be removed. This also allows you to attach the camera directly to the monopod.
