Oben CTT-1000 Carbon Fiber Tabletop Tripod

The CTT-1000 Carbon Fiber Tabletop Tripod from Oben is a three-section support with carbon fiber-constructed legs, which have twist leg locks that turn and enable you to extend the legs to a maximum height of 15.5″. Even with the legs fully extended, you can remove the ball head and screw on the included three-section extender that adds 12″ in height. This extender places a camera at a higher shooting angle for recording an interview or shooting a portrait. To supplement more stability to the 0.98 lb tripod, the legs splay further out to a minimum height of 4.2″. Removing the extender, collapsing the legs, and placing the head back onto the legs gives the tripod a folded length of 10.4″. Each leg has a rubber foot, which prevents the tripod from sliding on smooth surfaces and the rubber feet are removable, which reveal spikes to stabilize the support on soft terrain.

The dual-action ball head is Arca-type compatible. You can unlock the movement and position your camera at a 90° angle with the cut notch located on the side of the head. The head also rotates 360°, which allows a camera weighing up to 11 lb, to follow a subject freely with ease when the pan lock is unlocked. Additionally, the ball head includes a quick release plate with a 1/4″-20 camera mount.
