I purchased the Berlebach tripod new and it has served me well. It shows minor wear, easily excellent or better condition. It extends to 59", collapses to less than 35.5", and will support 26.5 lbs. It is quite sturdy, and will accommodate an 8x10 view camera easily right on the built-in leveling ball head. Legs have chain hooks but I rarely used some rope on them- they aren't needed when using the leg locks even with my soon-to-be-offered Calumet C1.
The Gitzo 570 series #5 Rational head I bought used, as my C1 has a fragile center-bar instead of a full plate and so I needed the support of a full head. The head is more than adequate to point the Magnesium Monster straight at the floor with a lens, holder, and cloth- and still feel secure. It is in "bgn" condition, fully functional but shows nicks and wear in the finish.
This tripod outfit is suitable for nearly any large camera you might own.
Its also surprisingly light weight, the tripod weighs in at about 7 lbs and the head about 4. You would be hard-pressed to find a better weight to stability ratio without spending several times this price on carbon.
Only selling because I can no longer shoot my big cameras due to health issues. My loss is your gain.
Berlebach 3032 tripod $185
Gitzo #5 Rational Head $80
buy both and save- just $250
That's nearly 50 bucks less than I spent on the tripod alone.
shipping additional at actual cost, to the USA and Canada only please
It will ship from 87571, a combined package would weigh 16lbs and measure 46x8x8 inches with arms removed from head. As an example, it would cost about $33 to ship via UPS ground insured to a residential address in NYC, and a few dollars more for USPS Priority. If you want a quote and can't figure it on your own, please message me with your shipping zip and whether it is a business or residence. Thanks
