Tripods for Sale

1. Manfrotto 390
Alumininium (I think), weight ~1.5kg, closed height 58cm, extended height 160cm, 4 section screw tighten legs, integral 3 way pan-tilt head. I don't have the load bearing, but it will take a medium-format SLR and probably even a large format. Used this as a "studio" tripod since it fairly heavy and bulky. It doesn't have a cover but I have the original box.
£30

2. Manfrotto digi-718SHB
Aluminium, weight ~1.0kg, closed height 40cm, extended height 125cm. 4 section lever-tighten legs, integral 3 way pan-tilt head. The load bearing is less than the 390, but will comfortably take my Bronica 645. Comes with carry case.
This is more worn; one scratch, and most of the non-essential rubber finishes (feet etc) have been lost. Great for shooting outdoors because of the light weight and small size but a lowish extended height
£30

If you are interested in either of these - contact Andrea - anorrington@longroad.ac.uk and she can put you in touch with the seller (who is based in central Cambridge).
