I am purchasing the tripod in the attached picture.
I don't know if it's just vendor lazyness, or language barrier, but i couldn't get any other information but a VERY basic description in german language.
It looks like a Berlebach tripod (and so it's called by the vendor).
It looks to have a swiveling column, but I had no positive answer about it, nor about maximum height.
The Berlebach catalog, available online, is of little help, as it's an older model.
There is a similar item on sale on Ebay now, item # 150969915569, with nice description, lots of pics, and sold with its original Berlebach head.
The only difference is the all-aluminium hardware, while mine is painted black (apart from the column).
I decided to go for the cheaper alternative because i am on a tight budget, and i already have the same head at home (BTW, the Ebay tripod, albeit not advertised as a Berlebach, is already fetching more than what i'm paying for mine... that's the difference between domestic-only and open sales!).
Can you recognize the tripod version from the picture?
Is it an old UNI version?
I see no spreader stops. It could be a nuisance, or even an advantage in some conditions; what's your experience?
Do you know if the new stops can be fitted to older models?
