The Oberwerk 4000 Series combo is for those that want a lighter-weight and lower-cost tripod, but with a really nice tripod head. We’ve simply combined our 3000 Series tripod with the 5000 Series head. Tripod construction is black-anodized aluminum, the fluid head is cast aluminum, with a total weight of 9 lbs. The fluid head includes one quick-release plate and dual panning handles. Also included is a carrying case.

This is a superbly solid and flexible tripod.Well worth the asking price.I’ve got it under my 20x65ED binos and the entire package is steady,but also very easy to handle.
