Dismembering Bogen/Manfrotto 3283/520 Tripod
Dear all,
I'm in the process of building a contraption to attach my XL-1s to the outside of a car door, complete with leveling bowl and Bogen/Manfrotto 503 head. I've acquired a single leg of a Bogen/Manfrotto 3283/520 tripod, and was planning to shorten it to about 45 cm/1.5 ft. This would require pulling all the aluminum tubes out of the plastic fittings and then sawing off the tubes. My problem is that I can't get the tubes to come out of the plastic fittings, not even after heating the latter with a hair drier for quite some time. Has anyone ever done something like this? Does anyone know what sort of glue Bogen/Manfrotto uses to bond aluminum with plastic (ABS?)? Any tips or ideas would be highly appreciated! Regards, Ron |
