Yes
The head is Giotto, but one of the legs has a distorted packer inside. The supplier needs the model number for replacement, but there's no sticker/label on them. Anyone help?
Not the best images, but I'm sure anyone with the same model will spot the key sameness.

not the best photos, compact grabbed to take em.
 
It's not a Gitzo, not with those bolts holding the legs on the spider. It may be an old Benro copy, the loop and screw is similar to those that Benro used, the column mounting screw also looks like the copy that Benro made too.
 
Cheers for looking. Some better shots here.

It may well be another brand entirely, though I swear it all came in a Giotto bag :)

it looks very much like the Benro i've got, but without digging it out of the cupboard, i can't be sure.
 
Looks like my old MT8240 Giottos, but slightly different locking collars.
 
Hmm, getting closer then. The head is a MH5001 and it did come as a set, only just 2nd hand from a photographic shop. Moved house, so lost the paperwork.
Hopefully someone will have the same head/legs . . . Thanks for the interest :)
 
A shameless last bump in the hope a day reader may help ID them :(
 
Looks like a Giotto's, give the UK distributor a call - found these details on the giottos-tripods.co.uk website.

Cheers Bostin, already in touch with these guys but need the model ID. They need this to ID the faulty shims and I really don't wanna post the legs off. If I can ID the legs, they just send the shims :)
