That is a thought. I tend to save things for projects, but I get overwhelmed by the project hoard. I could saw the legs and use the pieces.Can you make anything out of it, like a stand for a bird house or feeder?
One has an old pistol grip that won't come off. I have no idea what my Dad did to it to make it so stuck on there. There is s screw broken off that tightens down the legs. I could drill it out and get another screw for it, but I wanted to get a sturdier tripod to replace it anyway.First of all, how are they broken? Do you have any idea if they could be repaired? If so, and you don't want them anymore, could there be a local high school that could use them for a photography class or the yearbook staff?
I had an old broken Bogen tripod that I was able to purchase the spare parts for a few years ago. After repairing it, I gave it to a local photographer who was having trouble holding their camera due to physical problems. It kept them in the field for another year or two. Afterwards, they gave it to the local high school for use by the student yearbook staff.
Yes, aluminum. I would probably need to saw the pieces.You might have to break it down if it is an aluminum tripod, but the legs and other metal parts should be recyclable. If it is carbon fiber, I am not sure it could be recycled.
No, I didn't. Thanks for the suggestion.Have you thought of putting it up for sale for parts?
