Looks like a copy of the Polaroid Tripod that came out in
the mid-seventies.
Photographers have struggled along without them ever since
That was a hell of a messy setup he had. An Eye-Fi and
laptop is much easier

It looks like Pentax had a badged version of this tripod as
well see circa page 195 of the K-5 manual for a picure of
one with a flashgun mounted on it.
I use mostly Novoflex ones now, but have a few of the
Polaroids that I used to use for flash as well as camera
supports. They fold flat like a gun Mostly metal
apart from the knobs and camera connection which are
plastic.
If you want one for about £25 let me know.
This is the tripod...

That's a really good design, very stable.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Anyone know what that is? Also, if you have a good recommendation for a small tabletop tripod, I'd much appreciate it!
