Thanks for the input everyone! It's hugely appreciated. I'll check with the local film board where I rent some of my equipment and see if there are other tripods that compatible. It probably is the 3/8-16, it just looks deceptively large to me.
Apropos of nothing... When the Super 16 conversion was done, it was modified to a fixed pl mount, but the lens is less than stellar (it's the angenieux 12-120mm.. doesn't cover super 16 at the wide end and has some nicks in the lens). I'm thinkning on getting two new lenses, one of the 17.5-70mm angie's that are floating around out there, and maybe this one off ebay. I've heard consistently good things about the 17.5-70mm lens, but was wondering what you guys thought of the older 25-250mm angenieux lenses? I think these two angie's had been manufactured around the same time, so I'm hoping they'd produce a simialr look if I wanted to use them on the same shoot.
Has anyone on the board used these older angie's. If so, what do you think?
Best,
Dan
