Going back to 1984 days when Manfrotto was known as Bogen the 3051 was called the 3050 automatic tripod, coined as the “world’s fastest tripod”.

There were vintage ones? I know of Manfrotto absorbing Bogen many years ago.

I have a 3051 (legs - no head) that I would be willing to sell for $150 + shipping. I used it with my 600mm 4.0 which I sold last year due to a pinched nerve and the weight of the tripod.

I have pictures that I can send you

I live in Eugene, OR.

I have a 3051 that I do not use and would be happy to sell for 200 BUT the shipping on it would be, I'm sure, way too much. It is a beast as was previously stated.

If anyone in Michigan is interested, let me know.

As stated above, this is one HEAVY tripod. You may wish to join your local gym and work out on the weights before attempting to carrying this tripod anywhere. This tripod is a good solid one, but is much too heavy to carry around outdoors.

If you are talking politically then yes, i would agree 100%. But, i am so tired of not being able to get out into nature, my favorite place to take my camera.

Why can you not get out in nature? Away from people is safe as it gets.

I live in Colorado, last april they closed down all the national and state parks.
They are open now, but with restrictions. And the 3 or 4 of my favorite places require a bit of hiking to get to, this is a problem because of the time restraint. Takes me over an hour of driving and an hour of hiking. Then the same or more out.
2021 will be better.
