ABOUT

It features robust, multi-ribbed sliding wooden legs that telescope smoothly, secured by classic knurled industrial metal lock rings. The top casting is a genuine flat Mitchell top configuration—the definitive industry standard originally designed to lock down massive 35mm studio film cameras without twisting.
