Oben Skysill Tripod with Ball Head Overview

The ALF-6193 Skysill Series 3-Section Aluminum Tripod with BE-117 Dual-Action Ball Head from Oben pairs a versatile Skysill tripod with the robust BE-117 to create a tripod suitable for use for a variety of still and video applications, both in the studio or on location.

Oben ALF-6193 Skysill Series 3-Section Aluminum Tripod

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.

Oben BE-117 Ball Head with Arca-Type Quick Release

The BE-117 Ball Head from Oben is a lightweight aluminum ball head with a load capacity of 17.6 lb, a large locking knob to control the movement of the ball, and a separate knob for the 360° panning movement. The individual knobs enable higher-precision adjustments to the head than are possible with single-lever heads. Taking panoramic photos is simple thanks to the panoramic scale at the base of the head. A notch in the ball head allows orientation to quickly change between portrait and landscape.

The included Arca-type quick release plate attaches to any camera and is secured in place with the receiver's locking knob, simply and reliably. Two removable safety screws on the bottom of the plate help prevent your camera from accidentally being released prematurely. One bubble level on the clamp and another on the locking knob ensure that the camera will be level with the horizon.

Dual Action Ball Head
The BE-117 dual-action ball head boasts smooth and effortless operation and features separate locking knobs for independently adjusting the ball and panoramic base.
Arca-Type Quick Release
The BE-117 Ball Head includes an Arca-type quick release plate for easily mounting and dismounting a camera. Adding a compatible Oben quick release plate to all your cameras facilitates camera swapping so you can exchange cameras without interrupting your shoot.
Dual Bubble Levels
The ball head features two integrated bubble levels to help make sure the camera is perfectly aligned with the horizon.
