Thanks, Ann! The tripod is a Manfrotto 3021 BPRO - discontinued now, I
think.
looks like 3021 is very similar to but a bit beefier and taller than the
3001 BPro i had until yesterday; both can still be found used pretty easily;
i sold mine (good shape, no head) for $60
the Manfrotto 055 and 190 series supersede these, respectively, and continue
the idea of center posts that go to a right angle, though the new ones make
it easier

what strikes me is the the grip-action ballhead you used (as shown in your
photo of your old setup) pretty much obviates the need for a right angle
column, since it extends sideways fairly far and is easy to reposition
fwiw, on the 3001 i sold, the long portion of the center column is
removable, leaving just a stub and allowing the tripod to go flat to the ground
