Gibraltar Upgrade Kit. Adapters Tele-Pod head to old Gibraltar tripods with large bearing hole.

Until 2002, Gibraltar tripods regulated horizontal motion via a 1 1/2ý-diameter bearing post in a plastic bushing pressed into the tripod head casting.

Current-model Gibraltars utilize a bearing system built into the horizontal plate of the Tele Pod head. A 3/8ý-threaded stud goes from the Tele Pod through a 3/8ý hole in the the Gibraltar casting. The new system has several advantages:

Bearing tension in the head is adjustable.

The head cannot accidentally fall off or be pulled off the tripod.

Sky Tour is attached to the head for horizontal motion, making a more-secure connection and avoiding wire ýwind-upý from the underside connection required in the older Gibraltar.
