Berlebach was founded by Peter Otto Berlebach in 1898. [1] According to the Hamberg Export Handbook (de: Hamburger Export-Handbuch) from 1906, tripods were already being supplied to England at that time.
After Peter Otto Berlebach retired in 1918, the company was taken over by Dittmar Biskaborn, and Heisinger, three former employees of Ernemann. In 1972, the family business was nationalised in the GDR and renamed VEB Foto-Kino-Zubehör, supplying tripods to the entire Eastern Bloc.
In 1990, the company came under trustee administration. After extended negotiations, Wolfgang Fleischer, who had been a senior employee at Berlebach since 1962, was able to purchase the company in 1993.
In 1994 Berlebach made its first appearance at the Photokina trade fair and has since become a leading manufacterer of wooden tripods. [2] Today they export to more than 40 countries worldwide.[ citation needed ]
Berlebach tripods are considered to be particularly low oscillation due to the ash wood used in their production, [1] [3] and are therefore used alongside heavy telephoto lenses [4] by amateur astronomers with telescopes, in astrophotography, [5] and in macrophotography. [6] In colder regions, the material composition allows the tripod to be handled without gloves. [7]
Berlebach produces several lines of photography tripods and monopods with a maximum working high between 36 and 175 centimetres (14 and 69 in), which can be extended by centre column, [8] [9] including the Berlebach Report and UNI tripod series.
The Report and UNI tripod series offer various modules, including options that allow the tripod head to be tilted to compensate for inclinations. Different column lengths are also available.
The Report series consists of three tripods with 3-section legs and four tripods with 2-section legs, covering a maximum working height ranging from 87 cm to 163 cm, with weights between 1.9 kg and 3.2 kg. [8]
The UNI series includes one tripod with 3-section legs and three tripods with 2-section legs, covering a maximum working height between 80 cm and 164 cm, with weights ranging from 4.2 kg to 6.4 kg.
The product range additionally includes mini, [9] monopod, wall, [10] and car disc tripods.
Berlebach also produces tripods for astronomy applications as bases for telescopes. The PLANET, SKY, and GRAVITON tripods within their astronomy tripod range, can carry up to 120 kilograms (260 lb), 140 kilograms (310 lb), and 220 kilograms (490 lb) respectively.
Two tripods, namely the Report and UNI, are based on the photographic tripods and designed for load capacity of up to 25 kilograms (55 lb) and 60 kilograms (130 lb) respectively.
Berlebach produces special tripods for electromagnetic compatibility measurement purposes. These tripods contain little or no metal in their construction.
Berlebach additionally manufactures astro chairs, tripod heads, mounts and adapters.
Astrophotography, also known as astronomical imaging, is the photography or imaging of astronomical objects, celestial events, or areas of the night sky. The first photograph of an astronomical object was taken in 1840, but it was not until the late 19th century that advances in technology allowed for detailed stellar photography. Besides being able to record the details of extended objects such as the Moon, Sun, and planets, modern astrophotography has the ability to image objects outside of the visible spectrum of the human eye such as dim stars, nebulae, and galaxies. This is accomplished through long time exposure as both film and digital cameras can accumulate and sum photons over long periods of time or using specialized optical filters which limit the photons to a certain wavelength.
A tripod is a portable three-legged frame or stand, used as a platform for supporting the weight and maintaining the stability of some other object. The three-legged design provides good stability against gravitational loads as well as horizontal shear forces, and better leverage for resisting tipping over due to lateral forces can be achieved by spreading the legs away from the vertical centre. Variations with one, two, and four legs are termed monopod, bipod, and quadripod.
The PK also commonly known as the PKM, is a belt-fed general-purpose machine gun, chambered for the 7.62×54mmR rimmed cartridge.
In photography, a tripod is a portable device used to support, stabilize and elevate a camera, a flash unit, or other videographic or observational/measuring equipment. All photographic tripods have three legs and a mounting head to couple with a camera. The mounting head usually includes a thumbscrew that mates to a female-threaded receptacle on the camera, as well as a mechanism to be able to rotate and tilt the camera when it is mounted on the tripod. Tripod legs are usually made to telescope, in order to save space when not in use. Tripods are usually made from aluminum, carbon fiber, steel, wood or plastic.
The 7.5 cm Pak 40 was a German 75 millimetre anti-tank gun of the Second World War.
Hamburg Observatory is an astronomical observatory located in the Bergedorf borough of the city of Hamburg in northern Germany. It is owned and operated by the University of Hamburg, Germany since 1968, although it was founded in 1825 by the City of Hamburg and moved to its present location in 1912. It has operated telescopes at Bergedorf, at two previous locations in Hamburg, at other observatories around the world, and it has also supported space missions.
The ETX is a line of smaller aperture telescopes made by Meade Instruments.
Gitzo S.A. is a manufacturer of photographic accessories, including bags, but specialising in tripods and supports.
Sarpac is a French made recoilless individual 68 millimetres (2.7 in) diameter anti-tank and assault rocket weapon.
The 21 cm Granatwerfer 69 was a mortar used by Germany during World War II. This weapon may also be known as the GR 19 and B 19 or by its nickname "Elefant".
The 7.5 cm GebG 36(German: 7.5 cm Gebirgsgeschütz 36) was a 7.5 cm (3.0 in) German mountain gun used during World War II. At least 1,193 were built between 1938 and 1945. It was the standard light gun of the German mountain divisions, both Army and Waffen-SS, during World War II.
The 15 cm SK L/45 was a German naval gun used in World War I and World War II.
In photography, a long-focus lens is a camera lens which has a focal length that is longer than the diagonal measure of the film or sensor that receives its image. It is used to make distant objects appear magnified with magnification increasing as longer focal length lenses are used. A long-focus lens is one of three basic photographic lens types classified by relative focal length, the other two being a normal lens and a wide-angle lens. As with other types of camera lenses, the focal length is usually expressed in a millimeter value written on the lens, for example: a 500 mm lens. The most common type of long-focus lens is the telephoto lens, which incorporate a special lens group known as a telephoto group to make the physical length of the lens shorter than the focal length.

The SIG Sauer 522 LR is a .22 LR semi-automatic, blowback operated rifle. It is patterned after the SIG 55x series rifles that fire 5.56x45mm centerfire cartridges. The 522 fires .22 LR ammunition and serves as a training rifle for its larger counterparts due to mostly identical controls and features. It differs from its centerfire counterpart in a number of ways. The 522 series has no adjustable gas block as the 55x series does. Instead, a mock gas block is installed. SIG refers to this as a storage container. Instead of 30-round magazines, the 522 series accepts 10-round or 25-round magazines that are manufactured by Black Dog Machine and re-branded for distribution with the SIG 522. Black Dog also produces a 50 round drum magazine for the 522.

Galileo was an American robotic space probe that studied the planet Jupiter and its moons, as well as the asteroids Gaspra and Ida. Named after the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, it consisted of an orbiter and an entry probe. It was delivered into Earth orbit on October 18, 1989, by Space ShuttleAtlantis, during STS-34. Galileo arrived at Jupiter on December 7, 1995, after gravitational assist flybys of Venus and Earth, and became the first spacecraft to orbit an outer planet.
