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.
Product photographers, content creators, and filmmakers who need a compact solution for both standard tripod shooting and overhead work.
Tako Carbon Fibre Tripod
A portable, stable base with adjustable height from 9" to 53", extendable up to 71.8" with the centre column. Rubber and spiked feet provide grip across different surfaces, while a counterweight hook improves stability when needed.
BC44 Bagel Ball Head
A compact aluminium ball head with independent controls for ball movement and panning. The drag adjustment allows finer control when positioning your camera, while dual bubble levels help maintain accurate alignment. A quick release plate enables fast mounting.
FY56 Overhead Rig Accessory
Reconfigures the tripod’s centre column into a horizontal arm for overhead shooting. It provides panning, tilting, and sliding adjustments, along with a secondary mounting platform for adding a counterweight or additional accessory—helping balance your setup and maintain stability.
Instead of piecing together separate components, this kit offers a cohesive system designed to work together. It covers both everyday tripod use and overhead shooting, making it a practical choice for creators working across different styles of content.
