The OSN OS 364 LA carbon fiber tripod is one of the more reasonably priced models currently available. An upscale tripod is made of carbon fiber, which is both stronger and lighter than traditional metal tripods, but it also carries a premium price.

This improved model has a new leg-locking system of quick lever locks that allow for faster setup and break down times; most other tripods use cumbersome rotating collar locks that are slower to operate.

The 364 LA has a four-section leg design and three-position leg spread for low-to-the-ground uses. It also has a lift center column, with a 3/8-inch thread at both ends so a head can be reversed for low-angle situations 17 inches or higher, and a leveling bubble. A soft rubber cylinder encircles each leg for easier carrying. And there are extra-large 1.75-inch-diameter non-slip rubber feet on swivel balls, as well.

The leg locks work smoothly and efficiently to hold the leg length tightly and exactly where it is set. A triangular nut unlocks and locks the sliding center column. A removable hook at the bottom of the column can be used for a water bag support when typically needed with long, heavy telephoto lenses.

There is no panhead, just a flat top with 3/8-inch thread to accept a pan or ball head of your choice. A nice gray padded carrying case with an inner cloth liner sleeve for the tripod is included and so is a fabric bag that can be attached to each leg to provide a carrying sling platform for camera accessories.

The OSN OS 364 LA carbon fiber tripod is sturdily constructed for long, durable use.
