Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the difference between the BE-117 and the BE-117T?

A: The T stands for travel. It has a slimmer profile that allows tripods with legs that fold and close in an upward position to close completely and not be blocked by the head.

Q: 2. What is the minimum & maximum dimension of arca-style head opening? My camera's arca-style base is 38mm wide. I want to find out whether I can drop it off or I have to slide it in. Thank you.

A: the range is about 36-38.5mm. I have one plate that drops in and one that needs an ever so slight tilt.

Q: 3. Hi, I've owned a BE-126 Head for a few years and overall I'm very happy with it, however from time to time it will come loose on the base if I rotate it slightly anti clockwise, and it isn't safe. I've tried to tighten it as much as I possibly can, however it still manages to come loose shortly afterwards! Did I fail to attach it properly to the legs, or are all the Oben Heads like this?(I have it attached to a Oben Tripod, AC 2361)

A: You may want to try a dab of Loctite 242 removable blue.

Q: 4. is it compatible with the manfrotto befree tripod?

A: Yes, the BE-126 Ball Head is compatible with the Manfrotto BeFree tripod as they both use a standard 3/8” thread.

Q: 5. Can I use the OBEN 1/4 -20 screw with D ring?

A: If you mean the camera fixing screw the answer is yes. I use the screw with D-ring from an Oben VH-R2 on my BE-117 ball head. It's at tight fit but it works.The slot under the BE-117 mounting plate is only 28 mm wide and 7 mm deep .

Q: 6. Will the Oben BE-126 QR clamp accommodate the Kirk collar that I have on an 80-400 Nikon lens? Thanks.

A: As both the Kirk lens collar and the BE-126 Ball Head use the Arca-Swiss type quick release system, the BE-126s QR system will accommodate the Kirk 80-400mm lens collar.

Q: 7. can I install this contraption: a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/554141-REG/Manfrotto_323_323_RC2_System_Quick.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/554141-REG/Manfrotto_323_323_RC2_System_Quick.html/aon this head since most of my head are manfrotto plated?

A: I think the Manfrotto adapter can be mounted on a QR-20 plate. The QR-20 would screw into the Manfrotto adapter and then mount properly on the ball head. Camers, lens, etc. with the Manfrotto quick release would then mount into the Manfrotto adapter. I think mounting the Manfrotto adapter directly to the head would require the services of a machine shop but it can probably be done.

Q: 8. is this compatible with a platypod?

A: Yes, the Oben BE-117 Ball Head with Arca-Type Quick Release can be mounted on the Platypod Ultra Plate Camera Support and on the Platypod Max Camera Support.

Q: 9. Will the Sunwayfoto Macro Focusing Rail with Screw-Knob Clamp BH #SUMFR150S • MFR #MFR-150S slide on this Oben BE-117?

A: Yes, the Sunwayfoto Macro Focusing rail will slide through the Oben BE-117 as the rail has an arca-style dovetail which the head will receive.

Q: 10. Is this a tension ball head

A: This head does not have a typical friction control, however, you can adjust the main knob to allow for pseudo friction, hence the numbers on the blue dial.
