Dave, the 300 does have a double lock. Trust me on this.
It has a thick set of shoulders, much like some of the older Bogens.
The lock you're not seeing is a screw in-line with the center post.
And Bogen 3-D heads will let you get down and dirty with reversed
centerposts. I own the Bogen 3028, and it will almost let you rest
the camera on the grass on an inverted post. Trust those that use!

Humm. Nether of your two post's made it to my inbox, so i cut this from the
archives.
Thanks for the info Lon.
I wonder if i have an older brouchere, as i only see one lock on the 300. I
wonder if the 700 has it to.
Thats good to know anyway. I might go with the 700 and not have to worry about
a bushing. I took a look at the net, Googled Bogen 3D heads, and found a few
reviews and stores. Unless i'm looking at the wrong ones, i just cannot see in
my mind how they can turn upside down. for low macro.
I'm sure they can but :-)

Oh, one thing I forgot: the 300/400 locks the centerpost with
TWO adjustments, making post extension much more secure.
My 3021 is very bouncy with even an inch of extension.

Just pondering over the Slik Pro 700DX or the 400Dx models. They both have adjustable multi position legs and spread out quite close to the ground. Also removable centre column.
