YC Onion Tako Tripod Kit with Ball Head & Overhead Rig

The YC Onion Tako Tripod Kit combines a lightweight carbon fibre tripod, precision ball head, and a dedicated overhead rig system into a versatile solution for both standard and top-down shooting. Designed for creators who need flexibility without building a complex rig, this kit allows you to switch from traditional tripod use to overhead setups with minimal effort.

At its core is the Tako Carbon Fibre Tripod, offering a strong yet portable base with a 22 lb load capacity. Paired with the BC44 Bagel Ball Head, you get smooth positioning, controlled movement, and precise framing for both photo and video work. The included FY56 overhead rig accessory transforms the tripod into a jib-style system by repositioning the centre column horizontally. This enables stable overhead shots for product photography, flat lays, and demonstrations—without needing a separate stand.
