Overview

The Manfrotto 116SC1 Suction Cup Spike Foot is a purpose-built accessory for the Manfrotto 695CX monopod, designed to provide enhanced stability across different shooting environments. The foot features a rubber suction cup that grips firmly on smooth, hard surfaces like studio floors, tile, and polished concrete, while the retractable stainless steel spike extends to bite into softer terrain like grass, dirt, and gravel. Switching between modes is straightforward, allowing photographers and videographers to adapt quickly when moving between indoor and outdoor locations.

Constructed from a combination of technopolymer and stainless steel, the 116SC1 is both durable and remarkably light at just 0.19 lbs. The 1.97-inch base diameter provides a stable contact point without adding bulk, and it attaches to the monopod via a standard 11.6mm hole for quick installation or replacement. For Manfrotto 695CX owners looking to improve their monopod's grip and versatility across varied shooting surfaces, this foot is a practical and inexpensive upgrade.
