I bought the tripod new and used it for a few years. The overall condition does show minimal signs of use. The knobs are bronze and show some small areas of patina. The legs extend and collapse smoothly. The head works smoothly in all directions and has a 1/4” thread. I used the tripod with a 12 pound 8x10 with no issues. Local pickup is encouraged, yet I will ship to anywhere in the United States. Shipping and insurance are not included in the price. The selling price is 650$. I'm located 30 miles north of Providence Rhode Island for local pickup. Let me know if there are any questions.
