Geared head adds insult to injury...

It really does.

I would seriously take a look at Studio Titan's offerings. I have one, it is as sturdy as I need for medium format and a small 4x5. They have larger models, too. Less than half the price of a FOBA or Cambo, plus free shipping.

I appreciate the lead on other option and, for the record, I don't have a problem with Studio Titan as a brand. My budget is about $1,000 at the very maximum and at that price, a new model isn't super compelling. Free shipping or not.
Going used will take me quite a bit further for any of these three mentioned brands.

This is said because I am the guy who started this thread, has been looking for a stand for a year and can't get one. You saw this post, decided, "eh, why not take a look on CL for a stand", then not only find one immediately on a whim, but get it for nearly what I would consider, free. Plus, you got a geared head with it! A geared head is upper level equipment and isn't cheap, no matter which one you get. So, that is what makes this insult to injury (for me).

Does this make sense?

Sorry about the misunderstanding. I figured out the comment shortly after posting the”?” and tried to delete the post- but couldn’t figure out how. I thought I edited it to the “.”, but created another post!
Anyway, not important. What was helpful to me was after years of trying to find one at a reasonable cost this thread renewed my curiosity and I found one!

Hello Photrio Crew,

There are so many names I have seen for these professional camera stands that replace a standard tripod in a studio environment. Though, I won't try and figure out the latest nomenclature for them. I will keep it simple and say that I have found that using a professional tripod has become more hassle than it is worth and going public with an ask for a professional level studio stand is now a must. I am looking for something 7'+, something fairly compact in a footprint (most stands are) and ideally has the ability to connect a computer tray to the other side of the horizontal arm. Brands that I respect within this realm are: Foba, Cambo, Manfrotto and Studio Titan. Though others certainly exist so if you have a lead that isn't one of these, don't hesitate to reach out.
I am located in Corvallis, Oregon I realize these things are monsters in size and weight, making shipping often not cost prohibitive. But, if there's a will, there's a way...

Please contact me if you have something that seems to fit what I am looking for.

Thank you for your time!

Igot one locally for a mere $100 from a small studio closing down. They are a pleasure to use. Keep looking and trying.

Saw “Cambo Camera Stand – Perfect for Food Photography / Home Studio” on Facebook Marketplace in Corte Madera (Bay Area Northern California) for $650

Has a tray that could hold a laptop

Thanks for the lead!
If I had Facebook, I'd check it out. Though, the Bay Area is a bit far of a trip from my location (9 hours, one way). I feel like a more extreme Northern California might be about the extent I'm willing to travel outside of Oregon.
