YC Onion Tako Carbon Fibre Tripod

The YC Onion Tako Carbon Fibre Tripod is designed for creators who need a portable yet stable support system for travel and on-location shooting. Weighing just 4.9 lb, it offers a strong load capacity of up to 22 lb, making it suitable for a wide range of camera setups without adding unnecessary bulk to your kit.

Its one-flip leg design allows for quick and efficient setup, helping you move between shots with minimal delay. The tripod features an adjustable working height from 9" to 53", with the option to extend further using the centre column up to 71.8", giving you flexibility across low-angle and eye-level shooting.

Built from carbon fibre, it balances strength with reduced weight, while practical details such as removable rubber feet with integrated spikes ensure reliable footing across different terrains. An ARRI-style anti-twist accessory thread provides a secure mounting point for accessories, and a hook at the base allows you to add counterweight for extra stability when needed.

How it works

The tripod uses a three-section leg design with quick flip locks, allowing you to extend or collapse all sections efficiently. Independent leg spread gives you control over positioning, especially on uneven ground or for low-angle shots.

The flat base mount provides a stable platform for compatible heads or accessories. The integrated ARRI-style anti-twist thread allows you to securely attach accessories such as arms or monitors without unwanted rotation. Rubber feet provide grip on indoor surfaces, while the underlying spikes offer additional stability outdoors. A hook at the bottom of the centre column can be used to add weight, helping reduce vibration in windy conditions or when using heavier setups.

This tripod focuses on practical usability—light enough to carry all day, but stable enough to support serious camera rigs. The combination of fast setup, adaptable height, and reliable footing makes it well suited to varied shooting environments.
