Oben Skysill Overview

The sturdy, multi-featured ALF-6193 Skysill Series 3-Section Aluminum Tripod from Oben delivers rock-solid support for cameras. It can be set up quickly and offers a variety of options for studio or location photography. This durable aluminum tripod supports up to 19 lb and features flip locks that quickly and effortlessly adjust its height up to 67" with the 14" center column fully extended. The center column can be removed and reversed to shoot from an inverted perspective for macro photography. This Skysill tripod includes an interchangeable short center column that allows the legs to be spread low to the floor for dramatic low-angle shots.

Each leg can be positioned independently at three locking angles, for shooting from lower perspectives or for leveling when on uneven terrain. A built-in bubble level helps keep the tripod aligned with the horizon, and interchangeable rubber or spiked feet provide traction on nearly any surface.

The ALF-6193 tripod features a 3/8"-16 accessory socket for attaching accessories like an articulating accessory arm to add an LED light, microphone, monitor, or flash to the tripod setup.

Aluminum 3-Section Tripod
The durable aluminum tripod features three-section telescoping legs secured by ergonomic flip locks.
Three Locking Leg Positions
The legs can be independently set and locked at 25, 51, or 71°angles for stable support at low angles on uneven terrain.
Reversible Center Column
The rapid center column is secured by a locking collar for easy height adjustment. It is removable and reversible for low-perspective shooting.
Short Center Column
This Skysill tripod includes an interchangeable short center column that allows the legs to be spread low to the floor for dramatic low-angle shots.
Interchangeable Feet
The tripod's rubber feet prevent slipping on hard and highly polished surfaces, like a gym floor. The included spiked feet may be exchanged for solid footing on soft terrain and ice.
3/8"-16 Accessory Socket
An integrated 3/8"-16 accessory socket for attaching an accessory arm permits adding accessories like LED lights, microphones, monitors, or flashes to the tripod leg mount.
Reversible Tripod Head Mount
The center column's head mount is reversible for use with both 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 threaded bases.

What is the bowl size for this? Is this tripod compatible with the Oben LH-2510 leveling base?
Asked by: Brett
The Oben ALF-6193 Skysill Series 3-Section Aluminum Tripod does not have a bowl. It is a photo tripod mainly while tripods with a bowl are mainly for video. It has a standard 3/8-16 male stud for mounting the LH-2510 leveling base and/or a tripod head.
