Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto Short Column for 3001 & 190 Series Tripods:
Called Manfrotto customer service to see if this column would fit my 719 tripod. They said no. So I asked for tech service and they said no also. I was sure it would, because I wanted to replace the weak ballhead that came with my tripod, that is combo unit, column and ballhead. So I ordered it anyhow and guess who knows Manfrotto's product better. Not them. Is working as I had hoped.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto Short Column for 3001 & 190 Series Tripods:
The short center column allows the user to spread the tripod's legs further to get the tripod lower to the ground, enabling a lower camera perspective. It's great for landscape photography, particularly with a super-wide angle lens, where one wants to get low and close to an interesting foreground object.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto Short Column for 3001 & 190 Series Tripods:
I had purchased 2 old Model #3030 Bogen tripods at a photoshop that was cleaning out it's store room. I also picked up a 3047 head. The tripods were scavanged into one good one but The heads were shot. I had no way of mounting the 3047 or any other modern head due to the center column just ending, basically like an open end of a pipe. It was geared too. I measured the diameter of what I needed & I fit the Bogen short column into the old center column. I had to make a bit of shim for a tight fit but it holds & works great. Now I can mount what ever head I want on this large, classic tripod.
