A tripod head is required and not included with these legs. Be sure you purchase a tripod head to attach to your camera.
The Oben AC-2310L 3-Section Aluminum Lateral Tripod is a sturdy, professional support for any DSLR, point-and-shoot camera, or a compact camcorder. With a load capacity of 11 lb and a generous maximum height of 65.5", the lateral tripod features a tilting, swiveling center column that enables infinitely flexible positioning for macro photography and other uses.
Engaging the lateral adjustment lever frees the tilting of the center column once it's been extended past the chassis, which becomes possible once you press a button at the column's bottom to disengage the safety bolt. Once thus extended, the column can tilt, with no ratcheting, from its original 0°, straight-up-and-down orientation all the way over to a 180° upside-down orientation – with possible stops everywhere in between, including a 90° lateral position. Twisting a knob on the chassis locks and unlocks the 360° swiveling of the center column and its upper collar.
The tripod's flip locks, which enable the extension and securing of the leg stages, are user-adjustable. By using a supplied Allen key, the user can tighten two points on each spring-loaded flip lock to safeguard their continued reliable performance.
With its anodized aluminum construction, the AC-2310L is ready to survive the rigors of professional work. The tripod chassis is cast aluminum for further durability.
When it's not being used in its lateral mode, the AC-2310L's rapid center column functions like you'd expect from any professional tripod, extending after a twist of the knob on the upper collar. The tripod's center column can also be removed from both the chassis and the upper collar so that it can be reversed. For protecting your camera when the column is retracted quickly, there's a rubber damper under the center-post collar. Steel locking screws underneath the center-post collar enable you to fasten a camera head more securely.
Pull-in/push-out positive leg locks allow you to set the positions of the three legs independently at three different angles. This allows you to shoot from low angles or on uneven terrain. For stability on softer terrain, the AC-2310L features metal spikes that retract and emerge by twisting the foot's rubber portion.
- Center column travels throughout nearly a complete sphere of possible positioning, so you can take steady shots from virtually any angle
- Leg warmers on two legs mitigate the effects of extreme heat & cold and provide grip
- The two included Allen keys attach to a tripod leg, so you're always ready to tighten components
- Reversible 1/4"-20 & 3/8"-16 screw fits almost any head
- Bubble level on tripod chassis
- Center column is grooved to prevent its rotation within the upper collar
- Integrated aluminum loop for attaching a shoulder strap (not included) or a counterweight for added stability in windy conditions
- Rugged rubber tips with retractable spikes for shooting both indoors and outdoors on any terrain
- Included padded carry bag features dual heavy-duty zippers, an interior pocket, and extra room to accommodate a head

Comments about Oben AC-2310L 3-Section Aluminum Lateral Tripod Legs:
I have used this product for about 2 weeks. Most recently I used it to photograph flowers with my 100 mm macro lens at Longwood Gardens. Easy to carry around and has good height for capturing flowers.
I also used it for some studio photography of small objects. Since I wanted to photograph low to the floor, the legs opened wide enough to get just a few inches off of the floor. The 90 degree angle adjustment for the center post was also very helpful for this need.
It took me a few tries to figure out all the knobs/levers that make the tilt on the center post work properly.

Comments about Oben AC-2310L 3-Section Aluminum Lateral Tripod Legs:
A little light weight but for an inexpensive lateral tripod it does the job. Out of the box the lateral arm would sag just a little. There is a bolt that can be tightened to stop this. They provide an Allen Wrench for this purpose.

Comments about Oben AC-2310L 3-Section Aluminum Lateral Tripod Legs:
As an amateur photographer it is necessary that I have a stable platform on which to mount my camera. This tripod provides such a platform. Due to this tripod's design it provides both a stable platform as well as a variety of ways to set up the tripod. It is extremly well made and a very thoughtful design. The only complaint that I have is that it is difficult to press the button on the center column to remove it from the legs.
