The kit includes the MVH-4490 Mini Video Head, an Arca-type quick release plate, the ASPTA-20 Smartphone Tripod Adapter, and a 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 bushing.

Oben MVH-4490 Mini Video Head

Perform smooth panning and tilting motions with your desktop tripod using this Oben MVH-4490 Mini Video Head for improved vlogging and interview setups. The compact video head supports cameras, smartphones, and small camcorders weighing up to 4.4 lb. Pan your recording device up to 360° and adjust your tilt from -80 to 90°.

You can even shift your mounting plate 90° vertically to film in portrait orientations for social media. Fixed drag, spring-loaded tilt counterbalance, and a 9" pan handle ensure smooth camera movements to achieve cinematic effects. An Arca-type quick release plate easily transitions your camera from handheld to tripod-mounted shooting.

4.4 lb Load Capacity
The MVH-4490 video head supports devices up to 4.4 lb, making it ideal for point-and-shoot and action cameras with a smaller form factor. You can even record using a compatible camcorder or smartphone with a separately available mounting adapter, like the Oben Smartphone Tripod Adapter or Oben Arca-Type Smartphone Tripod Adapter.
Compact Design
The video head's compact design makes it compatible with desktop tripods, like the Oben CTT-1000, to shoot interviews or vlogs from a tabletop. It weighs less than a pound for easy transport in your camera bag.
Fluid-Style Pan and Spring-Loaded Tilt
Fixed drag allows the pan and spring-loaded tilt counterbalance motions to remain smooth and without hiccups for professional-quality video.
Separate Pan and Tilt Knobs
Separate pan and tilt knobs allow you to adjust each function independently while locking the other in place.
Compatible with Most Tripods
A 3/8"-16 thread on the head's flat base, along with a 1/4"-20 bushing adapter, makes it compatible with most mini, desktop, and travel tripods.
Arca-Type Quick Release Plate
Included with the MVH-4490 is an Arca-type quick release plate, which makes transitioning from handheld to stabilized shooting a breeze. The plate features a 1/4"-20 mounting screw compatible with most recording devices.

Oben ASPTA-20 Smartphone Tripod Adapter

The ASPTA-20 Smartphone Tripod Adapter from Oben lets you securely mount your smartphone onto a wide variety of platforms like a tripod, monopod, and tripod head. And to ensure compatibility, the ASPTA-20 can mount to these platforms via the Arca-type base or either of the standard 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 threaded holes in the mounting plate.

Mounting your smartphone is quick and easy. The clamp-style holder is adjustable and spring-loaded, accommodating smartphones from 2.4 to 3.7" wide - in or out of a case. When inside the holder, your smartphone gets additional protection from the curved edges that work to keep the phone from slipping out. The interior is also foam-lined, safeguarding the finish of your phone while providing extra grip.

Safely fastening a smartphone to your platform of choice is not where the capabilities of this adapter end. Additional features, such as an integrated ball joint, lets you pivot the phone in a variety of positions. A locking knob on the clamp secures it into place so you can get the precise shot you want. You can further enhance your work with the integrated cold shoe, so you can attach optional accessories such as an LED light or microphone to your setup. More than a simple tripod adapter, the ASPTA-20 can integrate into your workflow help you capture a wide range of mobile content.

Durable All-Metal Construction
Constructed from solid aluminum, this adapter can handle the rigors of outdoor shoots in rough terrain, and all kinds of weather.
Compact & Feather-Light
Weighing only 4.6 oz, this compact smartphone adapter can easily be thrown in a backpack or gear bag.

Oben MVH-4490 Reviews

Quality built

I am not a videographer. I’m a photographer who spends sometime doing macro shots. I was looking for a video head to attach to my existing tripod that would allow me to move the cameras direction without any loss of time, thus allowing me to work more quickly. I was impressed by the quality of the open video head. Very sturdy. A great deal at this price.

I film a lot of hunts from a tree and needed something small and compact. This head works perfect for my Canon G60. I am very happy with it.

Can I mount this head on a full size tripod, with center column extension to 60"?
Asked by: Julie
Yes, the Oben MVH-4490 Mini Video Head could attach to the center column of many tripods as long as the tripod offers a 3/8"-16 top screw for attaching the head. Most tripods do offer the 3/8"-16 screw connection that is required.
