106mm Tripod Question (M79)

Post by Austringer » Sun Aug 25, 2013 12:03 pm

I have two M79 tripods and one has a bracket and hook on the top of the front leg above the wheel, the other tripod does not have this set up. What's the hook used for (besides securing the mount to something)? I'm curious if this is a M151A1c or M38A1c item?

Found my answer, the bracket/hook one is for the M151 setup and the other is M38A1.
