OSN (One Source Network) OS 900

Date Published: 6/28/05

The mid-size OSN OS 900 tripod is sturdy enough to support any SLR camera with a medium-size lens attached, in addition to digital and video cameras.

Constructed of aluminum, it has a hefty three-way, fluid pan head with a quick-release, mounting platform. A geared center column provides 12 inches of extra height adjustment without the user having to readjust the leg length. There are self-leveling rubber feet, dual leveling bubbles, locking leg braces, and three-section legs with quick lever leg locks on this model. A helpful carrying handle is permanently attached at the top of the unit.

The OSN (One Source Network) OS 900 is just one of a very broad line of quality tripods recently introduced by this new firm.
