Oben CC-2320L 3-Section Carbon Fiber Lateral Tripod Legs
The Oben CC-2320L 3-Section Carbon Fiber Lateral Tripod is a sturdy, professional support for any DSLR, point-and-shoot camera, or a compact camcorder. With a high load capacity of 26.4 lb and a generous maximum height of 68.3", 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 nylon 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 6x carbon fiber construction, the CC-2320L is both lightweight (the tripod weighs just 3.8 lb) and heavy-duty, 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 CC-2320L'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 CC-2320L 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
- 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 CC-2320L 3-Section Carbon Fiber Lateral Tripod Legs:
I used this tripod and ballhead photographing in very windy conditions and it was stable and secure.The best part is that it is tall enough where I didn't have to bend over to take my photos.The lateral arm was a great help also taking pictures over the edge of a cliff, I didn't have to get right on the edge. A great product all around.

Comments about Oben CC-2320L 3-Section Carbon Fiber Lateral Tripod Legs:
I needed a solid tripod which was capable of supporting the camera (EOS-7D) in a variety of positions, including down-facing. A carry bag and reasonably light weight would be nice (the bag is included).
This tripod is solid as a rock, and extremely flexible in supporting the camera at every imaginable angle (swiveling center column a must).
The legs have three positions (I didn't realize this) which multiplies the possibilities.
It's nicely light in weight.
It's quick and easy, and with the ball head it's a terrific setup.
While there are less expensive models which are rated for the weight of this camera and lens, I am very pleased to have gone the extra mile to get one a bit more solid.

Comments about Oben CC-2320L 3-Section Carbon Fiber Lateral Tripod Legs:
This tripod does everything you need it to do. Want it rock steady; secure the center pole all the way down and add your favorite head. Need to get a weird macro angle.....extend the post beyond the hinge and you have an infinite choice of positions. This is every bit as well made as the other carbons.

Comments about Oben CC-2320L 3-Section Carbon Fiber Lateral Tripod Legs:
With a load capacity of 26.45 lbs and used with a Benro B2 ball head, this CF tripod is sturdy and versatile. It has enough vertical height, folds compact, and the lateral function can provide horizontal reach as well as support many macro configurations.

Comments about Oben CC-2320L 3-Section Carbon Fiber Lateral Tripod Legs:
After much consideration, I settled on this tripod. I have found it to be sturdy and easy to use for my purposes.
I paired this with the Manfrotto 501HDV head, and it's great for my purposes. Honestly, the lateral feature is probably something that I will never use. The tripod doesn't have a leveling bowl, and the 501HDV head hardly ever shows level. However I do mostly event photography/videography, so this isn't as big of a deal for me (most of my shots involve following a subject from an angle, so the leveling doesn't really apply).

Comments about Oben CC-2320L 3-Section Carbon Fiber Lateral Tripod Legs:
I used my new tripod the other night to take photos of the night sky and the moon. It was so easy to get the camera pointed where I wanted it with the CC-2320L. The adjustments were at my finger tips and applying the tension to make it easy to move around was great!

Comments about Oben CC-2320L 3-Section Carbon Fiber Lateral Tripod Legs:
I have been looking for a carbon fiber tripod that would meet all my needs for some time now and am extremely satisfied with the Oben CC-2330L. I shoot a lot of wildlife with a heavy super telephoto lens and this tripod has no trouble holding steady under the weight. I also have increased my macro work and love the ability to set up my shots with the center post pivoted out from the tripod - no more bumping and kicking the tripod legs as I set up my shots! The BB-2 ballhead I purchased with the tripod makes for an excellent package. A great value, quality construction, light weight, and a very reasonable price.
