Bogen 3001 (AKA Manfrotto 190) lens mount_Topcon and the locking gearbox holdsThe Bogen 3001 is the same tripod as the Manfrotto 190: Bogen marketed Manfrotto products in the North American market for many years, tossing weird new model numbers into the mix for some reason. This is a classic all metal compact tripod, with solid leg locks and an extendable centre column. Extends to about 5 feet without centre column. Accepts any head with a standard 3 8" thread. In excellent condition, with light cosmetic wear.
