Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have an original in box Titan Professional tripod all black with the handles still wrapped. distributed by Uniphot, Woodside NY. It is heavy for a tripod and I think aluminum. I may be able to send a few photos if needed if I can figure out how to do that. I can always send them through my e-mail. I suspect it is 35-45 years old. Since it has stayed in the box for most of its life, I would call it mint. any info and pricing would be much appreciated. He bought this tripod for his Leica M5 and then was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Thanks in advance. If this is in the wrong forum you may forward this to the right discussion.
You are right about the name. It he tripod it was manufactured by Uniphot Crop. in w\Woodside NY. Does that help date it? What might it's value be? Thanks in advance...
I took a quick look on eBay out of curiosity and the first one that popped up was a Uniphot vintage-unused at Buy-It Now of $49 plus shipping. They seemed to range from about that point on up with some proud owners asking $125..? I owned one many years ago and it was just fine for basic function and seemed quite rugged. I recall the new ones getting mixed reviews but that's just vague memories as I haven't been too focused on them.

The tripod is not a "Titan". It's a Tiltall, first made by E.Leitz. There are lots of them for sale on eBay, and various "For Sale" areas of the blogs.
