Yep, had one that lived with me for 30 plus years and just recently sent it 
to live with someone else.  I think this thread started out with a request 
for recommendations on a good travel tripod that didn't weigh a ton or cost a 
kings ransom.  Not sure anyone has given an answer to that question yet.  I 
don't offer one however will allow that I have just purchased a Velbon Maxi 
343e with the intent of strapping it to my camera case and sliding it under 
an airplane seat.  Don't expect it to hold an OM and a 400mm Tamron, however 
for a relatively light travel kit, it should be just the ticket. Metal 
construction, ball head, under 2 pounds , 18 1/2 inches folded and under 
$100.  Bill Barber
