Flash Report post Posted May 22, 2011 This is a full complement of gear and accessories to cover all your glassing needs. I will list and try to explain each item included in this package. Velbon Victory 550 tripod (following size data from their website). Maximum height is 58, minimum is 8. It has 3 leg sections with lever snap style releases for secure and quick use. Folds down to 22. Retractable steel spikes to help prevent unwanted movement. It has a unique leg design that allows individually adjustable leg spread for low ground level or maximum stability on nearly any terrain. 2-section lift center column for quick and easy vertical positioning and also allows for the tripod to be placed really low to the ground for prone shooting. Radial leg braces for maximum stability and convenient tripod setup. The tripod shows wear but works flawless. Jim White pan head. Machined aluminum lightweight head made for hunting. Anodized to prevent corrosion. 3.25 tall, 2x2 top and weighs only 14oz. It uses sealed ball bearings to provide an extremely smooth pan and has a quick release adapter system for switching optics without losing the field of view. A great feature of this head is the ability to set the tension to your liking. This really helps to allow for it to work to each individuals glassing style. The handle is a twist locking style and controls the up and down as well as allows for moving the head in any directions. A tension knob adjusts the left to right and does not come loose from the tension setting you put it on. The head has a few wear marks but works perfect. Remember this head could be taken off this tripod and used on any tripod. Jim White converter head. This is a great addition to your glassing set up. It is the same top as the JW head. It is used to convert other tripods to accept your optics that are set up with the JW tripod plates. A great use for this is to put on a window mount or a different tripod you may use for photography or videoing. It fits both sized adapter plate sizes, but made to minimize excessive weight. I had this custom made from Jim White himself. Jim White binocular adapter and quick connect system. The binocular adapter is the style that fits on binos with a thread system. The adapter fits in between the binocular barrels. The bottom of the adapter has a small nipple that is made for the (2) adapters included. The adapters screw onto the quick release plates and make for a secure, very fast binocular set up. The binoculars (with the adapter) slide into the little adapter post, so you can mount or dismount the binoculars securely in a couple of seconds. Also included are 3 regular plates and 2 half sized plates and plate screws. I am also including a brand new replacement tension knob for the L/R pan direction and a thread increaser. I have $700 invested. Selling for $450. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
