urbanfreestyle I am a squirrel who loves rubbing bottles and I have Nuts in my drawers, too!  More info | Oct 09, 2015 15:20 | #1 My friend is selling a Manfrotto carbon fibre tripod but it got swept out by a wave and is now covered in cristalised salt, everything still works but is a bit stiff and slightly corroded. How much should I ask him to knock off due to salt damage? I think it is a 055cx pro3 model. Facebook

PhotosGuy Cream of the Crop, R.I.P.  More info | Oct 09, 2015 16:20 | #2 It's "a bit stiff" because salt is inside of it, too, so if the outside is "slightly corroded", guess what the salt is still doing inside? FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...

I wouldn't bother with it personally, at least not for the $$$ he'd likely want. Some moments are too amazing to be ruined with words.

Oct 11, 2015 16:03 | #8 Just for reference that's 20 pounds more than I paid for a nice condition Gitzo 1329 Mk2 (3 series carbon systematic tripod) that also came with the accessory center column (235 quid new on it's own). Life is for living, cameras are to capture it (one day I will learn how!).

Oct 12, 2015 15:53 | #12 I'de only entertain the idea if the cost were 1/4 new. It's carbon fiber, you'll likely be able to fix it. Issue is the leg lock mechanism, that particular model might be tough to remove and clean out. I know with twist type legs, I've cleaned out salt water issues multiple times, and have no issues with longevity.
