It's not a Pentax, it's a POLAROID table top tripod and it's great quality, very well-made all cast aluminum with a black finish - the legs all rotate aound to line up for storage in the zip-up pouch - and they even have little no-skid rubber pads on them. The thing has a ball head that allows the camera to flip over to shoot vertical 35mm format! I did get the old price right, however. I'd recommend it highly to anyone with a Leica. It will easily support an M body with a 135 lens on it. Regards - sorry if I sent anyone off on a wild goose chase with the Pentax error!
