I just received a older Kmart tripod, model 20-08-44 I am not sure if it can be used on a Nikon 610 or not. And does anyone know how to lock the legs. It is a decent tripod but not as heavy or strong as my bogan 3036 with a 3047 head which I am pretty sure would be fine. Thanks

Just use the Bogen.

I googled the tripod and it has the flip lever type leg locks. It appears that you flip them down/out to unlock and up/in to lock.

Before you put that camera on top, make sure the locks are working properly. If just one fails, you could lose the camera. Sometimes they have adjustments for tightness.

I would not put a 610 on an "older K-Mart" tripod. No, No, No.

Camera insurance policy up to date? Go ahead and mount it at your own risk.

Do you remember the old Bogen tripod ads?
Before Lester Bogen put his name on this tripod, he put Lester Bogen on it.
