[illumiquest]

Massive. I've used it for my 8x10 but getting something that will travel easier. Very good shape, extremely steady but also fairly heavy. Would like to sell locally in Portland if possible. $200

Great tripod, here's a shot of mine in action (geared center column is an add-on);

Nice! Would you happen to know the model?

If it's all metal it is the Heavy Duty Pro, SRP. 16 lbs. Many accessories available.

If it has wood in it, it is the a Cine model.

I have 2 and the matching dolly.

From the 75th and 80th Linhof catalogs.

B&H still sells it in black.

Jesus that's expensive. Perhaps I should up the price?

 

[Randy Moe]

Nobody wants them except me, and I have 2...

It is an excellent and very strong tripod. I was crippled a few years ago and I would use one, with the camera that fits on top, to get up and into a wheelchair. I needed motivation to get up and my lovely big camera rig, helped get back to health.

True story!

I love that second picture, is the dog included? =]

Apug is quite a remarkable place where someone such as Randy can comment on a lesser known tripod and point out the catalogs where they are listed too, such an amazing wealth of information we have here collectively.

Maybe you can sell it at auction, with worldwide (e.g. european) shipping. If you can just find the right Linhof collector...

 

[illumiquest]

I'll ship the tripod, but it'll be about 50$ to get it to the east coast.

PM sent for local sale.

Just a heads up, I flipped this over to weigh it for someone and noticed for the first time that one spike on a leg is missing. I've used the for six months without noticing so I don't think it affects use unless you're on slippery floors or somewhere you'd need spikes.

The parts should be available from HP Marketing (U.S. Linhof distributer) with a phone call.
