3068 Version Identification

There are at least 3 different 3068 Head Versions that we identify for parts. We stock ome parts but because this Tripod has at least 8 Versions that can be nearly 40 years old we cannot supprt all Versions. The differences are Center Coumn, Elevation Crank, and Leg Brace.

Center Column

Version 4 and earlier have a round center column tube, and the Main Casting to match. Version 7 and later use a six-sided Center Column and Main Casting to match.

Main Casting

The Main Castings for Version 7 and later for sure use a six-sided Center Column. These are not Compatible with earlier Versions.

Elevation Crank

Ealier Versions use an Elevation Crank that has a direct drive to the Center Column. The Versions 7 and later use a Elevatin Crank that engages a gear that lifts the Center Column.
