CT-3586 Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod and Triple Action BZ-226T Ball Head

Lightweight yet rigid carbon fiber is ideal for the photographer on the go. An added advantage of carbon fiber construction is that it’s comfortable to handle in cold, wintery conditions.

The lightweight and strong carbon fiber CT-3586 tripod features 5-section telescoping legs secured by ergonomic twist locks. Flip locks take a lot of effort to operate and find the perfect height. All it takes with the ergonomic twist locks is a simple quarter turn to adjust each section.

The legs lock at three different angles for stable support on uneven terrain or at low angles. The leg angle adjustment lock also allows the legs to fold up 180° to a compact size for transport or storage.

For additional steadiness when you’re shooting on soft surfaces like grass or sand, you’ll be happy to have the option of exposing the integrated spiked feet beneath the nonslip rubber feet. They won’t slip or move on soft ground.

The adjustable center column is secured by a twist lock for extra height and easy height adjustment.

There’s a whole world down there! And the included low-angle center column is ideal for those shots where you need to position your camera close to the ground. When you’re looking for that unique low-angle perspective, you can simply remove the center column and insert the low-angle column in seconds.

It’s better to have more shooting options as long as you don’t have to carry extra gear. One leg of the tripod can be removed in seconds and used as a fully functional monopod. The monopod is great to have handy when you’re walking to a location, something catches your eye, and there’s no time to set up a tripod.

Oben’s ultra-sturdy BZ-226T triple-action ball head boasts smooth and effortless operation and features separate locking knobs for independently adjusting the ball and panoramic base. The ball head also features a 90-degree notch for effortless switching from landscape to portrait orientation.

The BZ-226 ballhead features a separate tension knob that controls the amount of friction on the ball in order to maintain strict control when you’re positioning it. The knob is designed with a different look and feel, so it’s easily identified either by sight or by touch.

The BZ-Series Ball Head includes an Arca Swiss-type quick-release plate for ease in mounting and dismounting your camera. You can attach an Oben QR plate to all of your cameras for rapid camera swapping so you’ll never miss a shot.

The ball head has integrated bubble levels to assure accurate camera alignment with the horizon.
