I hv 2 cameras, one fixed, one to pan; will I need tripod head for ea camera+tripod head to attach bar to tripod, tot 3 heads?
Asked by: s
The 2 top mounts on the Oben TAB-4M Four-Mount Tripod Accessory Bar have 1/4"-20 screws. You can screw your cameras directly on these mounts; however, we recommend adding a tripod head or a quick release system for better articulation and a quick release option. The base mount of the Oben TAB-4M Four-Mount Tripod Accessory Bar has a 3/8"-16; therefore, you can connect directly to the tripod base mount.

When this bar is mounted to a set of tripod legs and the screw holding them together is tightened down, can the bar be "spun" to different positions or is it affixed tightly to the legs (cannot be rotated)?
Asked by: Sarah
No, you would need to attach a pano base or a tripod head in between the bar and the tripod legs.

I just received this item. When I mount the bar ...

I just received this item. When I mount the bar to a set of tripod legs and turn the rubber wheel to tighten the screw, the wheel is very difficult to turn and sometimes I need both hands to turn it. Has anyone else experienced this?
Asked by: Sarah
It will depend on what you mean by difficult. The central thumb screw under the center of the Mounting arm is manufactured from rubber for better grip, but it can seem a bit awkward to to tighten. Two tips would be to 1) Ensure the screw on the bottom center of the Mounting Arm is properly seated on the screw on the top of your tripod's center column, and 2) Try holding the thumbscrew dial and instead, turn the entire bar clockwise to tighten the mounting bar to the center column on your tripod. While it should not be overly difficult if you are following the above instructions and the instructions listed in the instruction manual, and you still seem to be having issues with connecting the mounting bar to your tripod, I would recommend contacting Oben directly for assistance with the Mounting Bar either by calling them at (212) 594-2120 or by e-mailing them at info {at} obensupports {dot} com. If you purchased the item within the last 30 days, you may also contact our Customer Service Department to inquire about returning the item for an exchange or a refund.
