Harlowe has introduced the Rocket Quick Release, a carbon fiber monopod designed to streamline setup and enhance flexibility for photographers and videographers. With features aimed at improving workflow efficiency, the Harlowe Rocket Quick Release provides a combination of stability, portability, modularity, and fast adjustments.
One-Step Adjustment with Pedal-Release Base
At the core of the Rocket Quick Release system is a one-step height adjustment mechanism. A single press allows for quick repositioning without the need for manual clamps or twist locks. The pedal-release base further enhances usability, enabling the user to unlock and rotate the base with a foot pedal. Re-engaging the pedal re-centers and locks the monopod vertically.
Modular Design for Multi-Use Scenarios
The Harlowe Rocket Quick Release includes interchangeable camera stand and light stand feet, allowing it to function as both a monopod and a light stand. The main column can also be used independently by installing a rubber stud located beneath the camera foot.
At the top, a three-in-one quick-release system supports fast switching between a standard camera connector, a V-mount ballhead, and a light connector. This makes the Rocket Quick Release adaptable to a variety of setups, from cameras to lights and accessories.
Build Quality and Handling
Constructed from carbon fiber, the Rocket Quick Release is built to support equipment loads up to 22 lbs (10 kg). Despite its high capacity, the system maintains a relatively lightweight profile. A grip area finished with vegan leather adds comfort and a tactile touch.
