A Linhof. For the birds?

[Patrik]

What on earth is this Linhof tripod i found in the classifieds, Sweden, where I am located?
Can I use it to feed the birds?
And is it worth the about 270$ asking price?
I wonder what else great uses one might come up with, having bought it...

That looks like an equatorial mount for a telescope.

Looks like a Studio Dolly that I lusted for when I first got into photography in the late 60's. $270.00 American? Sounds reasonable to me.

you could always go into dentistry...

It's a studio stand, and a nice one too!

Patrik,

Solid as a rock... they were one of the most in-demand of all studio stands back in their hay day.

For what you paid for it... it was a steal of a deal!

Cheers

Hmmm.

I didn´t actually buy it (yet). You think I should? Looks sturdy enough anyway he he.

If anyone's interested in that, I have an old Ritter dentist's machine. Looks sort of like a deform Saguaro. Weights about 150 pounds.

I'd use it for your digital point-n-shoot

Looks like a great pedestal-style stand. I have a lighter model, and I find it very handy.
