    Ever seen a tripod like this?

    Found this in a PDF of an old B&H catalog:



    Roll-Pod (7000)

    Provides photographers and videographers with the quickest way to move their tripod over virtually any terrain. A custom aluminum alloy frame with 16˝ ball bearing riveted spoke wheels. Can move camera bags, monitors, battery packs and other accessories. The Roll-Pod works with #3021, #3033, #3036, #3051 and #3058 photo series and #3061 and #3068 video series tripods.

    Specs are: Axle length 35˝ (89cm), leg clamp max ID 1.3˝ (32mm), handle clamp max ID 1.6˝ (40mm), load capacity 100 lbs. (45.7kg) and weighs 9 lbs. (4kg). Item # BO7000...............319.95
    Might be a cool idea for going out and about with ultra large format cameras, although perhaps the design could be improved upon. It's basically just a couple wheels and a metal T that attaches to a tripod. Kinda cool. I can't find any other information online. Anyone ever seen one of these?

    Saw something like it a long time ago.

    Someday maybe I'll post my backpack frame with extendible 12" composite wheels.

    Huh? All I see is a picture of a brunette in a tube top and really short shorts.

    Hmmm ... that would be a firm "no".
    Nothing beats a great piece of glass!

    I leave the digital work for the urologists and proctologists.
