    Re: bogen 3047 vs. tiltall

    Fair enough I cant speak for the new 3021’s my only experience is with the one I own.
    Hopefully they have fixed the lever problems I have experienced with the redesign used now.
    Cheers

    Gossen Luna Pro...Thoughts?

    I have a Gossen Luna Pro that I have had for probably 40 years.

    You have had to replace the levers yourself..why because they...
  14. Re: Aluminum replacement locking levers for Bogen 3021 tripod?

    OK so it seems that both the cast aluminum & the plastic levers are easily broken.
    And expensive to replace @ $11.50 Each plus shipping from England. Ouch!
