Sat May 19 23:38:43 CDT 2012

ok that seems about  right... by the time you add lenses and a tripod  head 
 close to  140... 

round DAGE camera  you say?  like the  GE    cylinder shaped things!? 
Photo?!?

this model bauman  was  used  with a dage  at west  chseter south campus...

poor   South Carolina CBS affiliate I pestered  about my  camera... ( BUT 
IT SAID WCSC on it!) seemed stupid a CBS afil would have a DAGE  but,,, heh!  
that call sign! One of my still photographer  friends  in  that  area ... 
she dropped in on them in person...

turned out   stood  for west chester south campus  in  house ETV and 
someone found a yearbook photo of  some guy running  my  camera (by the way I need 
this exact head to  duplicate the  photo  have THE camera  have a bauman 
like it  just need the  head.)

I also have this camera  and  have the hoodie  for it   even!

Ed, 

My RCA TK-11B (Catalog B.2002) and TK-31B (Catalog B-2050) peg the camera  
head at 109 pounds with viewfinder, but without lenses.

These Bauman pedestals were likely made with something half that amount  in 
mind.  Be very careful.

The crank up version of these peds was underneath the first television  
cameras I got to have hands-on with circa 1967-69 used a couple of the  
crank-up versions of these peds. 

The cameras were cylindrical Dage black and white vidicon cameras, and  the 
peds handled those well without being "tippy" as I recall. But there  
wasn't a lot of weight on them.

One had a viewfinder, "reach around" zoom lens (try doing both  
simultaneously with one hand) and low-cost version of the cradle heads like  you 
usually see under TK-41s. The other had a remotely controlled Pan/Tilt  head with 
remote Zoom and Focus.

As I said, the pedestals were fine for lightweight camera gear... but a  
TK-11/31 weight camera with the wheel legs all the way retracted might be a  
chancy situation.

Hope this helps.

Dave - they seem to want to flip as soon as  you pull the pin!  

The secret of this  dolly is that the  base can get really  small and go 
though our old hysterical I mean historic  building doors  and out  into the 
street  during events.

I could  widen it out once outdoors but  with weight on  it  the  wheels  
would love to flip sidewise  when I  pull the  lock pin.. perhaps a block to 
slide under it when de  pining  it and repeating for the other  2 legs?

what is the tk 11 weight??  do not have manuals at   fingertips and  google 
has  failed me ..

Used  one with a TK-11, was ok..  
If you run the wheels in too far they turn over REAL EZ!
