Original MEI 1942 manufactured Wehrmacht tripod for the Blinkgerät which was a signal spotlight style communication system used in areas where laying wire was impractical, like in the mountains. I am pretty sure it would also work with a camera. The price is for one tripod although we did acquire a few. All are in similar working condition. The legs extend and retract well. MEI manufactured the majority of the Wehrmacht tripods of all types that I have come across.
