Premium Member Sean Lambrecht Posted May 27, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted May 27, 2009 Old O'Connor 50 head and a Birns & Sawyer VGM 200 tripod- the bowl measures about 120mm across. Am I measuring this wrong? I have a Gearnex geared head on order and need to decide on a 100 or 150mm bowl adapter for that. The Gearnex itself is a mitchell mount. If the tripod bowl is some odd non-standard size what are my options for marrying the two? Thanks, Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bret Allen Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) Hmmmm, At first glace I would have sworn that you had a standard 100 bowl, but using the Pict you sent with the ruler on it (perfect thanks) I looked at my Sachtler 100mm legs to confirm the size then looked at my Ronford legs and it would appear that you indeed have the old 125mm. I am confident that our 150mm ball will be just fine with your tripod, of which we have the adapter for the mitchell. To confirm that however, I too have an old set of legs with 125mm bowl and I will test to make sure, I just need to find them. Hmmm, probably in the attic. Give a couple of days to find and report. I made a note to remind my self. I'll get back to you. Thanks for the great question, Bret Allen s.o.c.
