What tripod is it?

I was going to try sell what I thought to be a Vixen HAL110 tripod, but then I found the measurements don't match. The HAL110 is described as having a height range of 70-90 cm (27.6" to 43.3"), but mine has a range of 80-130 cm (31.5"-51.2"). It looks like the pictures I've seen of the HAL110, with heavy-duty legs (about 3" wide). The tripod came with a used Vixen GP-DX I bought a few years ago. Does anyone know what this tripod is? Is there such a thing as a HAL130? (I didn't find an English-language reference when I googled.)

Thanks for any help,
Stephen Prata

It most certainly looks like a Vixen GPDX tripod Stephen... but I was not aware that there could be 2 different tripods with it...
I did find a couple of sites that mention a HAL130, but the specs seem (as far as leg length goes) to be the same as the HAL110...
