I'm hopefully going to take a look at a tripod I saw listed on Craigslist, it's a Bogen 3130 which some googling tells me is the same as a Manfrotto 128RC fluid head. The ad doesn't specify what the legs are but I assume they're some model of Bogen/Manfrotto, which means this looks like a pretty good deal for $50... if it's still in good condition. What sorts of things should I be looking at on a used tripod/head? How do they tend to wear out and how can I quickly test it before plunking down the cash?
