Has anyone got one of the tripods from apex that are from Israel ?
Are they worth the money over the reproductions ? I’ve got a semi being built and will not be shot a whole lot but will be displayed on the tripod

all the ones I have are usgi

Yes they are worth the money in my opinion.

The one I received had bugled feet!

I bought one from ima but never really used it, my 1919 came with one and there sits the ima one. Only used it a couple times, paint has flaked in opening and closing, but price point is easier on the wallet so I'm good with a little patina.

About the best deal out there for a USGI tripod. They are USGI that we sent there and they modified ( holes in feet).

I always thought the Israeli issue units were good tripods!
We have sold over 220 of them in the last few years.
We used to sell the new manufacture tripods from AIM but dropped that product once we had these M2 tripods to offer.

I couldn't remember who I bought this one from, then I realized it was ima and didn't want to slander the paint coming off on the apex tripods, had to edit my original post.

The Apex tripods are US G.I. originally, lend lease, with data plates to prove it. They have had holes drilled in the feet for staking to sand, and most have been painted sand color. They had at least one available in parkerized finish for more money. So, if you want an original US tripod, that is a way to go.

We all have Apex Israeli tripods since they are USGI. Some are used as is, some restored, and some stuffed away to flip when Apex runs out. Yes it’s a great tripod and a great price.

As mentioned they are a great deal. Here are a few that came from them and you can see how nice they clean up if you want to spend the time on them.

M2 tripod fun

Well, I finally got a chance to restore some of my own tripods. My wife went to visit the grandkids six weeks ago and left me unsupervised for the weekend so I spent two days in the shop doing six of my M2 tripods. I should have taken before pictures but oh well we can chalk that up to CRS. The...

Thanks for all the feedback I’ll probably have to get one ordered

Richard, when do these go on sale again? My Izzy A4 is looking for a resting place, but I had to break the piggy bank to buy that 37 loader!

I think these won't be on sale again.
The remaining quantity is all the better conditions (the sale tripods were mostly the ones that needed more TLC)
With no more US origin surplus being approved for import by the companies I buy from I don't see APEX ever getting a good quantity of these again.

I can’t wait till they are sold out, then I start making money. Apex is killing the USGI m2 tripod market.

 

[Knowarms]

Will have to look into getting one.

Are the bulged feet tripods more collectable?

 

[Snipersps700]

They made less of them.

They made less of them.

Just wondering. I have one as well and noticed you don't see them as often.

Lamson up here in Syracuse NY seemed to have made the bulk of them and yes they are tougher to find and us Browning geeks kind of like the unusual stuff.
