The CT-3551 Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with BE-113T Ball Head from Oben is a sturdy yet lightweight tripod with 5-section legs that fold upward 180° to create an extremely compact package for transport – with the included head attached, folded length is only 16". For further versatility, one of the legs unscrews from the chassis and attaches to the head & center column to form a working-height monopod. With a system load capacity of 13.2 lb, the tripod and head ensure a stable base for many DSLR body/lens combinations.
