Constructed of precisely-machined aluminum, the BD-02 functions like most full-sized ball heads but features a low-profile design with a wide top platform.

Oben BD-02 Overview

The Oben BD-02 Mini Ball Head a great option to top off a miniature or table-top tripod model.

The BD-02 head can serve as a replacement head for an Oben TT-100, TT-200, or TT-300 table-top tripod. Or it can allow you to properly orient your camera on any other tripod model, whether it has a 1/4"-20 or a 3/8"-16 stud – the head has a 3/8" thread and comes with a reducer bushing to make it compatible with the 1/4"-type stud.

Oben BD-02 Reviews

I Wanted A BD-01

By John

I Looked On Several Sites To See If I Could Find A Couple Oben BD-01 Mini Ball Heads For A Specific Use. I've Already Got A Pair And They Are Great. They Can Be Locked Down Sufficiently To Hold Without Movement, Whereas The BD-02 Mini Ball Heads Dont Hold Near As Well. I'd Love To Know What Happened To The BD-01 Version, But I Guess They Just Quit Producing It.

Great product

How do I remove the bushing? I've tried to take it off and I'm not getting any luck.
Asked by: Kendall
The bushing reducing adapter thread is easily removed with a penny or dime coin or large screw driver. A quarter might be a little too big.
