Lot 260: Vintage Three-Section Telescoping Aluminium Camera Tripod
A vintage camera tripod featuring three-section telescoping legs constructed from fluted aluminium. The support is fitted with a robust cast metal head assembly that incorporates a ball-and-socket joint for multi-angle articulation. The head is equipped with chrome-plated locking knobs and a top screw-clamp mechanism for securing a camera. The design features characteristic mid-20th-century industrial aesthetics. No manufacturer brand names or model numbers are visible on the exterior surfaces, though small adhesive labels with numbers are present on one leg and the collar. The item is presented in a non-original cardboard storage box.
Length: Approximately 55 cm to 60 cm (collapsed).
Condition report:
Good vintage condition. There is visible surface wear throughout, including light scratches to the aluminium legs and surface oxidation and pitting to the cast metal head components. The chrome-plated adjustment knobs and levers show some wear. Mechanical parts including the telescoping legs and ball joint appear functional but have not been tested under a professional mechanical load.
