Hello Gary and tweeters,
I orderd my second Bogen tripod latly.My first one i run over with my car,we
fixed it,but i bought a heavier model now since i have a heavy Scope (Leica)
and this one is taller and heavier.I bought the model 3021N and the coast
was ABA price $127.00.I use my old quick-release head what is 3160 and very
good.I still like to use my old tripod since it is very light for hiking.But
i must say Bogen in my opinion is the best.
Hello Gary is nice hearing from you and hope you will come back to
washington soon.We all miss you much,good birding to you.
