Bolex Paillard Tripod Model H with case

Details

Used Paillard Bolex Tripod H with carry case
This model, constructed entirely of aluminum, was introduced in 1959. The first head supplied with this tripod included a “plug-on” style platform which attached to the camera. Later versions (pictured here) included a quick release disc, similar to those found on the Declic H grip. A pan-handle was available to accomodate a 21″ cable release and could be adjusted for left or right handed use. The head contains a built-in spirit level and allows 360 degree panning and 135 degree tilt, with an engraved degree scale. This version weighs approximately 8 lbs and 6 ounces, with an extended height of 61″ (37″ when retracted).
