FAQs
What is the maximum weight this tripod can support?
The OBSBOT Extendable Tripod has a maximum load capacity of 2kg.
Can I use this tripod with my smartphone?
Yes, you can use it with a smartphone, provided you have a smartphone mount with a 1/4"-20 female thread.
What is the minimum and maximum height of the tripod?
The tripod's height is adjustable from 20cm to 78cm.
How do I clean the ball head?
Wipe the ball head with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the threads are clean for smooth operation. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Is this tripod suitable for professional DSLRs?
While it has a durable construction, its 2kg weight limit makes it best suited for lighter cameras like webcams or mirrorless cameras. Larger DSLRs might exceed its capacity.
How does the ball head allow for different shots?
The ball head provides 360° rotation and a -90° to 90° tilt range, allowing you to easily switch between landscape and portrait orientations, and to position your camera at virtually any angle.
Troubleshooting
Ball head is not holding position
Ensure the locking knob is fully tightened. Check the 1/4"-20 screw connection to the camera for tightness. For heavier cameras, the ball head may reach its maximum load capacity, requiring a more robust tripod.
Tripod is unstable at full height
Ensure the tripod legs are fully extended and locked. For maximum stability, avoid extending the tripod to its absolute maximum height if possible. Place it on a level, stable surface.
Threads are difficult to engage
Check the 1/4"-20 threads on both the tripod and your camera/accessory for any dirt, dust, or debris. Gently clean them with a dry cloth. Ensure you are correctly aligning the screw before turning.

- Precise ball head control for 360° rotation and tilt.
- Durable yet lightweight aluminium alloy build.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up, first extend the tripod legs to your desired height, ensuring they are firmly locked. Screw the tripod onto a stable surface or another tripod using the 1/4"-20 male thread. Attach your camera or accessory to the 1/4"-20 female thread on the ball head. Adjust the ball head to achieve the desired angle, then tighten the locking knob securely.
Compatibility: This tripod is directly compatible with OBSBOT Tiny and Tiny 4K webcams. Its standard 1/4"-20 threads ensure compatibility with most digital cameras, DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, smartphones (with appropriate adapters), and other photographic accessories that feature a 1/4"-20 mounting point.
Care: Clean the tripod with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Periodically check that all locking mechanisms are clean and functioning smoothly. For the ball head, ensure the threads are free of dust and debris to maintain smooth operation.
