Hey Folks,

I am moving to Barcelona so dumping some gear that wont travel with me and unfortunately I have to part with this beautiful setup.

I used this setup in my home studio only, I got them off Ebay and although the seller said it had been serviced, I question that. Not cause they are not in great shape, they in wonderful condition actually but like any old gear it needs service. I was prepared to get them serviced right out of the gate as I usually do when I buy gear that is more then 10 years old but i never got around to it cause they still work just fine, the pan is smooth, the tilt works fine but not as smooth as the pan. For my purpose it was great, that being said...I can have it sent to duclos or any house to get back that fluid like magic you expect from a oconnor fluid head.

This is perfect head and legs for studio use, they might be old but if you know Oconnor then you know they are built like a tank and last you a lifetime. I personally love the vintage style and the old nobs, its a real operators tripod. Its not too heavy but not feather weight either, you can search information on google for the 50D specs.

The real catch is this thing is only 1200 bucks but it supports up to 50 pounds and provides fluid motion with Oconnor name brand.

Please PM me or email me via clay (at) haskellfilms (dot) com if your interested. Cheers!

EDIT...update.. While this thing is perfect fpr epic or scarlet and works well with red quick release system, it does not include the pictured red quick release system. cheers.

You can't beat a 50D for price / performance on anything rated for over 20 lbs.

What are you using for a panhandle? On mine I just stuck a 15mm rod through and then clamped a Red Handle onto the rod using a 15mm to 19mm adapter.
 
My thoughts exactly Curran...I have both the handles that come out the back but I find that its more secure to just slide the one through both sides and this has worked for me.
If I dont sell it here it will go on ebay...there use to be a lot of these things but I am thinking the scarlet community clearing out the house.
