review here.
One reviewer states:
Quote: have been using the original version of this tripod for over 20 years with no problems! It has its share of dings and scratches but still works as well as the day I got it. I did extensive macro photography for years and the Benbo was indispensable. It can be set up on steep hillsides,or almost any terrain since each leg can be set at any angle and the center support rotated and extended as needed. Contrary to some other reviews. after a few uses I had no trouble setting up or using this tripod. FOR MACRO WORK A BENBO IS A MUST HAVE.

This tripod was purchased new by me at a local camera store that was going out of business and I have not gotten to use it as much as I hoped, so it is going to a new (good) home.
