This rangefinder camera tripod is in near perfect condition. It works and is a well crafted travel support. Keep scrolling for the full story or skip to the one picture (it was a nice day and we decided to go shoot instead).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Royal travel tripod is a pocket-sized artifact of Japan's postwar reinvention, born somewhere between 1955 and 1965 in a factory that probably never put its own name on anything, staffed by craftsmen at places like Aida Seiki or Chuo Seiki who understood that anonymity was just another form of precision.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt wears its \"Hammered Grey\" enamel like a good suit. With a die-cast head and chrome-over-brass legs that telescope outward in seven friction-fit sections, the whole thing unfolds like a radio antenna with ambitions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe single knob turns counter-clockwise and both pan and tilt release at once, a design decision that's elegantly impatient. At 24.5 centimetres folded, it slips into a coat pocket beside your Leica without complaint. It extends to nearly four feet of perfectly adequate stillness, and asks only one thing in return: that you pull from the thickest section first, or the shims will remember your impatience long after you've forgotten the shot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt won't stop mirror slap. It won't outlast a stiff wind. Carry it for the rangefinder it was made for and forgive it for the things it cannot do.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Royal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48268477857979,"sku":"35MM-ROYA-100220","price":38.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/6960\/6331\/files\/download_75f5b18a-64fc-40c6-8896-25e34f773fcb.jpg?v=1787093554","url":"https:\/\/www.foxandtalbot.com\/products\/royal-pocket-travel-tripod-telescoping-rangefinder","provider":"Fox and Talbot Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
