The Skysill CFT-6194L 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with 90° Lateral Column and 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.
The sturdy, multi-featured Skysill CFT-6194L 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with 90° Lateral Center Column 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 carbon fiber tripod supports up to 19 lb and features twist 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 is equipped with a center column that can rotate horizontally down to a 90° angle and swivel 360° around the tripod. Once it's in lateral orientation, the column's length is also adjustable to position a camera directly over the items being shot. This feature is a versatile option for product, document, macro, and low-angle photography.
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 CFT-6194L 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.
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.
