(made by Dave Hoyt as per Dick Streff's idea)
12 x 20 Folmer and Schwing!. See the original design by Dick Streff at http://www.skgrimes.com/tpod/index.htm. Modifications were made as suggested by Dick in his notes - solid legs, reduced overall height and smaller top plate. I have also added a few more mods of my own - different foot mounting, different head, foam block for holding legs when folded and cloth shelf for accessories. Adjustable legs are 36 in (91.5 cm) and total weight with head (Manfrotto/Bogen 162) is 17 lbs (7.72 kg).
