Konus tripod 1952 meets needs - Konus 3-Pod 2 Photographic Tripod 1952

this tripod is slightly smaller and less rugged than a more expensive Konus model, but it is more than adequate to hold a chronograph at a range. One should be careful, of course, when handling something of lightweight construction.

There are two levels built in to the unit to aid in getting a chronograph level, though someone should probably bring a small, portable level to place on the chronograph itself.

This model is not as tall as the more expensive Konus and I needed to set it at full extension and also crank the center rod up several inches in order to reach an adequate height. For chronograph use at a range this model can save some money and is sufficient. I would recommend it and would repurchase this model, if necessary, for range use.


Pros: price, light weight
Cons: smaller size than Konus model 1950 (65-160)
