If they were smart they would keep running that picture. I forgot to mention that among my Gitso's I have a Davis & Sanford Model RTS New Rochelle, NY with a Cullman ball head which I love which is kind of funky in a nice way. -looks like it was made in a machine shop in someone's garage. lighter than Gitso's which is putting it mildly. It's original machined head was really funky. I replaced the nuts which attach the legs with brass ones. I think they were bought out or is at least are now distributed by Tiffen. Kind of a fatter Tilttall. I thought Tiltall was the offical Leica Tripod and noone mentions it. Mark :-) Rabiner
