Oben CTT-1000 Carbon Fiber Tabletop Tripod

Shockingly light/compact, yet still has great stability at height. The one misstep I see is the lack of storage for the center post, it is just basically a loose extra leg and there is no way to attach it to the tripod while keeping the tripod dimensions for transport. So you would have to keep them separate, which would allow them to bang on each other. If this was $50-$100 more expensive I would have removed a star for that, but at this price that is something that you just need to workaround and find a solution that works for you. Phenomenal value.

Excellent product, great value very portable, and extremely fast delivery. I am very satisfied

Bought this to use for hunting binos and scopes. Very light and seems to be sturdy. I do find that adding some downward weight helps stabilize it, otherwise between the rubber feet and somewhat flexible legs, can be prone to vibration.Combined with the SmallRig tilt/pan head, you have an ultralight, smooth backcountry rig for about $150 and 1.5 pounds. Tie a small prussik cord loop on one of the legs and you have a 10 gram, $0.10 adjustable rifle support. Add a therm-a-rest z seat pad, and use your backpack as a backrest, and you can sit and glass all day.

This tripod is it for me. It is exactly what I have been looking for.Well, I am maybe not depending so much on my tripod as others do, but I still find it useful enough that I always want to bring it with me on, for example, a hike. For a long time, I was using the gorillapod, but often found that the height of it was limiting for me. However, I still didn't want to bring a larger and heavier tripod to get that increased height.This Oben tripod has just that extra height in a very compact and light format that makes it perfect for just throwing in the backpack and not even noticing that it is there until I need it. I honestly think this tripod deserves a lot more hype than the other compact tripods out there, because it offers just so much more. I can 100% recommend it.

Turned out to be fairly flimsy for what it is. The center three leg position is kind of low so you need to use the little scrawny center pedestal piece to get the camera high enough. With that centerpiece being so flimsy, the camera wobbles around. Even an iPhone wasn’t holding sturdy with this. I needed something a little taller. I ended up sending it back
