I also searched the Omega site and couldn't find the Lafette tripods.
How much do they cost?? They look pretty decent.

They're not on his website.
Omega is owned by Don Bell. He's a top shelf guy to be sure!
Call him, he'll fix you up!!

Look under "new stuff" It's listed as MG34 WWII mount for $1100

The condition of the mount in the photos on Omega's website is considerably different than the photos at the beginning of the thread. Did he allow you to hand pick yours or is what you received his pick?
I am looking for a mount to restore to go with my 34.
Thanks

Sorry I didn't post sooner, but didn't see the new questions on the tripod til now....the Tripod was what he shipped out, I didn't have an opportunity to get a hand pick, but I'm happy with what I got, unfortunatly I live in Alaska, so this is in my hometown in Colorado, I need to go back next summer so I'll let it sit out on a 100 deg day and let the cosmo run! Chris.....
The other bummer is that all my kits with the exception of one are down there as well, and I'm 3500 miles away

Request for some opinions--Is it worth it to get the german mount from Omega for $1100,or the re-worked Yugo's for about 750 elsewhere? What are the differances,and is it just for originality,or did the Yugos change them around.By the way,what ever happened to tho Yugo car? Anyone seen one lately Thanks---bil

The Lafette from Omega is for a MG34.The Yugo from Alleghenny is only for the MG42.
I used to know someone who owned a Yugo.He was given a second car for free with the purchase of one.He told me it was an incentive to buy one because parts for the Yugo were hard too import.He told me he liked his Yugo car.

I email omega back in Oct. and they said they didn't have anymore MG34 laffette's. You may want to email them again and check.
