I purchased this tripod about a decade ago in NE Nebraska. I took it to a local camera shop in Fort Collins, Colorado and they thought it was a surveyors. I finally got around to looking for a transit and found an antique surveyors tripod website, emailed the administrator and he said it is a camera tripod. I would like to get a camera or transit that fits the mount but do not know where to begin since I have neither seen a camera or surveyor tripod in person. The tag states OMNIA Los Angeles.
