Cartoni Focus F101 Single Stage Aluminum Tripod with Case--$850. Reduced to $800 shipped continental U.S.
SOLD
Purchased brand new in March '06.
Used primarily outside for event shooting. Well taken care of and not abused.
Nothing dented or bent whatsoever. Tripod has some minor scuffs from normal use, as is--see pics. Ball mount shows some wear from debris--one particular shoot on a construction site was very windy. Operation is not affected at all. Ball mount is smooth to the touch as is the bearing surface inside tripod bowl. Tripod legs drop down freely when unlatched; one sometimes needs a slight bump to get it going. One particular thing worth mentioning; there is some sort of debris inside one of the legs--probably plastic or aluminum from the factory. You can sometimes hear it when taking the tripod out of the case. It has been like this from the day I purchased it new. Most people might not even notice. I sometimes did but it never bothered me enough to do anything about it.
Reason for selling: upgraded to another system.
