- Description
- Wood and metal Thalhammer camera tripod with metal spikes at the end of the legs, brackets at various points along the legs, and camera mount. The tripod is retracted to its shortest setting, but can double in height. Each leg has an adjustable metal bracket with circular knobs on the outside of the leg - the flat part of the knob features a kneeling man holding the handle of a long hammer in front of him, with his hands above his head just below the head of the hammer. This same logo is featured throughout other metal pieces around the head of the tripod. A plastic-handled grip is attached to the top of the tripod. Four circular pieces of paper screwed onto the camera support base, possibly as spacers, upon removal the Thalhammer company information is shown.
