- Carbon Fiber Monopod -
Oben's CTM-2600 6-section monopod is perfect for any photographer who needs camera stability while maintaining mobility. This monopod allows you to capture steady shots on practically any terrain or in any weather without setting up or breaking down a full tripod. Moving to your next shot is effortless because the CTM-2600 folds down to a compact 16.7 inches and weighs only slightly over one pound.
The CTM-2600 includes features like ergonomic twist locks for fast and easy setup and height adjustment, and a retractable spike for stability on soft terrain like grass or sand. This monopod comes with a reversible 1/4-20 to 3/8-16 mounting screw so you can mount practically any camera or head. And the foam pad assures a firm and fatigue-free grip in cold or damp weather.
Features
Carbon Fiber
Carbon-fiber construction is notable for its durability, rigidity, and light weight. The monopod will provide a rigid and stable platform for your camera, even when you work in terrible weather.
Feather Light
Whether you're trekking long distances to get your shot, or running up and down the sideline to keep up with the action, the CTM-2600 monopod won't weigh you down.
Integrated Mount
The top plate provides the option of mounting a head or a camera and lens directly to the monopod. A reversible 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 screw is compatible with any camera or head. The plate features three integrated set screws for extra security for your mounted gear.
Leg Warmer
Don't let nasty weather keep you from getting the perfect shot. The foam pad surrounds the leg for comfortable handling in cold weather and a secure grip in the rain.
Wrist Strap and Belt Clip
The wrist strap provides an extra degree of security in case you accidentally lose your grip on the monopod. The integrated belt clip provides hands-free carrying options when you're on the move to your next shot.
Twist Locks
The ergonomic twist locks let you set up, break down, and adjust the height quickly and effortlessly. For extra ease of use, the tubes feature non-twist alignment that prevents them from spinning around when you're working the locks.
Retractable Spike
For solid footing on soft surfaces like grass or sand, the monopod features a retractable spike that extends with a few twists of the rubber foot. When you move to a more solid surface, the spike retracts with a few turns so you can use the rubber non-slip foot.
- VH-A30 Tilt Head -
The Oben VH-A30 Tilt Head for monopods will support a camera and lens weighing up to 33 pounds, and it provides the support and control you need when you're shooting nature, wildlife, or sports. This solidly-built head features 180 Degree of vertical tilt with an ergonomic tilt lock that's located right where you hold your monopod, so effortless friction adjustment can be done with one hand.
The VH-A30 boasts durable aluminum construction that will stand up to the most demanding use. The head is equipped with Oben's Arca-style compatible QR-20 quick-release plate that's perfect for quickly mounting and swapping cameras. An integrated bubble level helps you level your camera, so your exposures are aligned with the horizon, a plus when you're shooting sports or nature.
Features
Sturdy and Strong
The VH-A30 boasts a load capacity of 33 pounds, which is more than enough for any camera and lens combination you're likely to use on a monopod. Solid aluminum construction can weather the elements and tolerate the most demanding use, whether you're shooting wildlife, nature, or a sporting event.
Light and Compact
If you're going to be running up and down the sidelines to keep up with the action, you can't use gear that that slows you down. The VH-A30 only weights about three quarters of a pound, and when you need to make a quick location change, you can even slip the tilt head into your coat pocket.
180 Degree Tilt
The ability to quickly change your aim is one thing a monopod does best. The VH-A30 tilt head delivers the flexibility to adjust your camera's angle, and still maintain control over the camera and lens. The VH-A30 tilts a full 90 Degree up or down, and the locking knob lets you easily adjust the tension on the ball.
Bubble Level
Shooting with a monopod makes it challenging to keep your camera level. A glance at the integrated bubble level helps you align your camera with the horizon, and keep your shots level.
Quick-Release Plate
The ability to quickly attach your camera and lens to the VH-A30, or quickly move your camera from a tripod to a monopod, is vital when you're shooting nature, wildlife, or sports. The included QR-20 Quick-Release plate lets you mount and unmounts your camera from the head with a simple twist of the wrist. The plate is available separately, so you can attach one to each of your cameras for fast and effortless swapping.
