Oh no! A moose wrestling with bagpipes! People would pay good money for a photo
of THAT!

That Uni-Loc looks like a copy of the Benbo Trekker, which I found to be too
light for studio work, and too long (fully collapsed) for field work. Too bad I
didn’t know you were looking. I’d’a sold you my older, British-made Trekker.
I find the old, British-made Benbo #1 to be a perfect fit for the 410 head, and
sturdy enough for either a 4”x5” or a Kaidan Kiwi panorama head. I wouldn’t
trust the Trekker with either of those. I also found the Trekker to be too
light for weird positions with a bellows on it.
