Asking $175 plus shipping. Limited time price for this Peter Lisand jr-a-74 Tripod with O'connor Model 30 Fluid Head.

Vintage Peter Lisand JR-A-74 Aluminum Tripod
Heavy Duty Tripod
supports 50+ lbs
100mm bowl, works with O'Connor 50D and Model 30 Fluid Head and Fancier FS9115 /
Libec JB50 Jibs.

Introduced at Photokina 76 was the newest addition to the O'Connor line -the Model 30, which the manufacturer considers to be the culmination of its quarter-century of experience in building fluid heads and regards as quite possibly the most desirable head the company has ever built.

It is surprisingly small and weighs only 5 lbs. Yet it will easily handle motion picture and video cameras weighing up to 30 lbs. It has all the features and smooth-steady action found on the largest and most elaborate O'Connor heads.

This entirely new fluid head was unlike all others in its engineering. The counterbalance is unique in that it can be easily adjusted for a 10- to 30-lb. camera while in the field. The continuously adjustable new fluid type drag mechanism is a totally new concept for O'Connor providing very smooth and sensitive panning through 360°, and tilting up to ± 60°. Both the pan and tilt locks are independent of the fluid system.

For smaller motion picture and video cameras, the Model 30 is the perfect head for ultra-smooth action photography.
