Like a few others, I think one CDA is just the flipped image of the other. The confirming detail I would add is that the reflections shown in the CDAs are exact mirror images of each other. It would be quite difficult to set up lighting to produce that effect with two separate CDAs, for one would be reflecting light coming in from the left of the camera, and one would be reflecting light coming in from the right.

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,
