Monopod

Thank you for choosing Oben.
Oben monopods are versatile and durable supports. Both
carbon fiber and aluminum models are constructed to
provide rigidity and strength to support for your camera.
The leg features secure twist locks for swift height
adjustment. And leg sections, designed with anti-twist
alignment, are extremely easy to operate when opening
and collapsing the monopod.
The monopods include a wrist strap to help secure the
monopod and keep it stable during shooting, and a leg
warmer for comfortable handling in cold weather.
Please read this entire manual before using your Oben
monopod.
Warnings:
Do not exceed the monopod’s maximum load
capacity.
Ensure that all appropriate locks are engaged
when necessary.
The monopod should be used only in
temperatures between -22°F and 140°F. Do not
use it in salt water. Dry the monopod if it gets
wet.
Remove the camera from the monopod during
transport.
Keep out of reach of children.
