This Oben compact travel tripod uses lightweight 8X carbon fiber construction to provide a 20 lb load capacity while keeping the complete tripod and ball head weight to 2 lb.

The five-section telescoping legs use internal twist locks that allow fast setup and adjustment while maintaining a streamlined profile that is less likely to snag on other equipment inside a camera bag. Each leg can be positioned independently at three locking positions to improve stability on uneven surfaces and accommodate low-angle compositions.

The tripod provides a working height range from 5.5 to 62 inches and folds to 17.3 inches for transport. Its reversible Y-shaped center column allows inverted camera positioning for macro and near-ground photography, while a spring-loaded ballast hook can hold additional weight for improved stability in windy conditions.

The two-way aluminum ball head provides independent panoramic adjustment, a 360-degree panning range, a 90-degree portrait-position notch, and a bubble level for accurate alignment. An Arca-type quick-release plate with a 1/4"-20 camera screw allows compatible cameras and mounting plates to be attached and removed efficiently.

The combination of compact folded size, carbon fiber construction, quick-adjusting legs, low-angle capability, and 20 lb support capacity makes the tripod suitable for travel photography, landscapes, portraits, wildlife, macro photography, DSLR and mirrorless cameras, and camera systems fitted with larger telephoto lenses.
