FS: Manfrotto 501 tripod combo

[cbrougham]

For sale:

• Manfrotto 501 head (not the 501HDV)
• Manfrotto 3001BPRO tripod
• Manfrotto 438 leveling adapter

The legs and head are pretty basic, but I've been using them for several months successfully with a DVX100. They're in fine shape, with a few dings, but nothing that affects any functionality.

I added the 438 leveling adapter a few months ago. Since the 501 is a flat-based head, and the 3001 is a columned tripod, leveling is usually accomplished by shortening and lengthening the legs. If you've done this before, you know it gets a little monotonous if you're changing terrain often. While not quite turning it into a ball-based head, the 438 certainly makes this more pleasant to work with.

I'm asking $250 shipped for the whole kit. Please PM with any questions; I'll accept and prefer PayPal. Thanks for looking!

sorry, but is that a fluid head

 

[Michael Friedman]

That is a good deal. I just bought a similar kit for much more (unfortunately).

Good luck.

 

[cbrougham]

No, it's not a fluid head. Uses friction instead. Still, considering what it is (and is not), it works quite well.

Still available...

 

[cbrougham]

The tripod is still available. First come, first served.

Bump!

Buy now and have it in time to put under your tree

And again with the bumping...

Bump, and price drop to $250.
