Since the unit will be in storage for a long period, should I mount the upper part in vertical position on the stand, or can it be left horizontal without harming the couterweight springs? I understand these are not "working" now.

I store mine horizontal. No issues with the springs.

All the images from the first part of this thread are long gone. I'll repost them as I can. Since we are in cleaning up, here are some before and after pictures from over ten years ago:

head must be set all the way up the column, right?

The lower column bellows is not just cosmetic. It's intended to minimize shiny support reflections on the baseboard. If you remove it, substitute some black flocking etc.

Is that fungus on the inside of the bellows? Never seen that before. L

Yes, plus the camera is off. Just the two round rails, the top spring housing and the camera carrier.
