Can I still get parts for a Majestic Tripod?

[W K Longcor]

I have several Majestic tripods. One of them has a broken casting. Is the company that made them still around? Are parts available?

Bill,

Majestic tripods are made by Bencher in Chicago.

Ordered a new crank handle assembly from Bencher late afternoon on a Wednesday two weeks ago. It arrived in Friday's mail of the same week. Terrific service and communication.

Not to hijack the thread, but along these same lines....I once saw a QR platform that screwed directly onto a Majestic head. I don't see that listed on Bencher's site. Does anyone know anything about that? I would love to get my hands on one.

Any QR plate with a 1/4" or 3/8" attachment can be mounted on a Majestic head.

I use Hasselblad QRs on mine.

I just ordered a handle for a 2500 that I've had for 20 years or so. Very nice people and reasonably priced. Excellent source. Thank you Kevin.

HELP: I need a leg locking casting and locking wheel and bolt for a 4800 tripod leg. Bencher, Inc. was sold to Vibroplex in 2015 (their amateur radio cw paddles - no mention of the tripods) and their web pages are still available but the phones are disconnected.

Does anyone know anything about the Majestic Tripod line they were producing before the sale? It would be a shame if all that tooling was scrapped.

Kevin, thanks for the Bencher link.
