Anyone shoot using an Oben CT 3500 Carbon Fiber tripod?

There’s a few of these around and thinking about buying but want to get some idea of what people think.

What interests me is the light weight (2.2lbs or something like that) and low $$

Would use it with my RC232 head and LaRue QD pic rail adaptor to attach to and shoot rifles.

Thanks in advance.

12.4lb rated capacity....what are you going to throw on it? Other than that I have had good luck with Oben for my cameras.

Thanks my DD M4 block II and maybe SR25, weight limit will be exceeded a bit but prob won’t be shooting at its full height.

I really want an RRS BH55 and whatever RRS legs, along with all the rest of the trimmings but late 2020 is the earliest for that.

Just want something to dick around with in the mean time.

i've found that the super lightweight tripods just don't cut it. it's very very different than an RRS or similar. like to the points that you'll be like how the fuck i ever do that before.

several new options that are big sturdy and cheap that aren't RRS (though i still think and RRS and anvil30 is the best combo ive used)

Their shit is no joke and can’t wait to have a RRS set up. I’ll play the lightweight tripod by ear, worst case scenario I pick it up and find it won’t work with the rifles, I’ll just use it for my DSLR.

Buy it for DSLR and use it in a pinch for rifle. You'll be happier in the end

I did a little more research and decided to stay with my existing set up. I don’t think that little tripod will stand up too long with most of my rifles.

Now gotta start saving pennies for a RRS.
