Oben TT-LAC Reviews

Super High Quality

I had bought the companion tripod and convinced myself that I did not need the lateral adapter. I was very pleased with the tripod and dont even need to use it its so well made it is a joy to look at. I found that I could use one more small ball head on the legs and then fasten the tripods center column extension with its ball head and have lateral extension. The rub is there is no place for a counterweight on my improvisation and the Oben slide with locks offers another adjustment as well. So when the extension was on sale I just bought it. Its well thought out and made to the same excellent fit and finish as the tripod. This has the standard 1/4 by 20 taping so would work on any bracket or device so should be a useful to have around for many applications.

Good for tabletop projects, comes in handy

This is a helpful little accessory that comes in handy for tabletop uses in particular. Fits on tabletop tripod's but could be attached to anything with a 3/8 stud/screw. And comes with an adapter for a 1/4 stud/screw too. So it is flexible and adaptable Build quality is very good. It's made of carbon fiber, so it is both very lightweight and also strong. The twist locks also seem well made and tighten securely. It has a small hook on the back to add counterweights. Overall I'm very impressed with this little extension rod. It allows me to extend a phone/GoPro/small camera or a small light overhead/laterally and can be very helpful for overhead tabletop shots. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]

Does the weight capacity mean the TOTAL weight of the camera on one end and the counterbalance on the other?
