Oben Sky ill Overview

From Manufacturer

The sturdy, multi-featured CFT-6394 Skysill 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod from Oben delivers rock-solid support for cameras. It sets up quickly and offers a variety of options that are ideal for studio or location photography. This lightweight and durable carbon fiber tripod supports up to 39 lb, and it features twist locks that quickly and effortlessly adjust its height up to 71.7" with the 12" center column fully extended. The center column is removable and reversible for shooting from an inverted perspective for macro photography, and a secondary short column is included for lowing the camera height for dramatic low-angle perspective composition.

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-6394 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 socket has an anti-twist design that works with any standard male 3/8"-16 threaded tip, but articulating arms featuring a similar anti-twist design are recommended.

Carbon Fiber 4-Section Tripod
The lightweight and durable carbon fiber tripod features 4-section telescoping legs secured by ergonomic twist locks.
Three Locking Leg Positions
The legs can be set and locked at angles of 25, 55, or 80° for stable support at low angles on uneven terrain.
Reversible Center Column
The 12" rapid center column is secured by a locking collar for easy height adjustment. It is removable and reversible for low-perspective shooting and features a ballast hook for increased steadiness.
Short Center Column
An interchangeable short center column 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.
