Add a stable aluminum tripod system to your camera kit with this Oben 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with FBVH-500 Video Head Kit put together by B&H. The kit includes the Oben CFT-6394 Skysill Series 4-section carbon fiber tripod and the Magnus FBVH-500 video head with a flat base and quick release plate.
The 4-section tripod features individually adjustable legs, twist locks, and spiked feet, and it is height adjustable from 6.5" up to 71.7". The video head mounts onto the tripod's 3/8"-16 screw and supports rigs up to 15 lb, includes a pan bar, and provides a sliding quick release plate with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 screws to accommodate a variety of cameras.
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.
The Magnus FBVH-500 Video Head with Flat Base is designed for shooters using cameras weighing up to 15 lb. It has a flat base that screws onto any standard 3/8"-16 tripod screw and gives you all the features of an advanced video head for performing professional cinematic moves. You can mount the included pan handle to either side of the head so you can create smooth and precise camera motion with either hand. The FBVH-500 head features a spring-loaded counterbalance with a tilt range of 170° (+90 to -80°), and it provides 360° panning rotation with adjustable fluid drag on both the pan and tilt axes.
The sliding QR plate features a snap-in function that allows you to quickly insert it into the head from above for effortless mounting and dismounting of large camera/lens combinations. And the plate's locking feature prevents it from accidentally slipping out of the clamp. The head attaches to a tripod via a 3/8"-16 thread. It also provides both 3/8"16 and 1/4"-20 auxiliary threads to attach accessories such as an articulating arm, LED, or microphone.
