3001 to some, 190 to others

[burtharrris]

Is Bogen in the process of converting their product codes from the old 3001, 3011, 3021 to the new 190 style?? I know Bogen sells the 3001 style and Manfrotto the 190 style on their respective websites.I see both on websites, but often they have striking similarities to one another. Anyone care to enlighten me? Thanks!

Manfrotto is the manufacturer's brand name of the tripods, Bogen Imaging, Inc. is the official US distributor of Manfrotto products, they are also the official US distributors of Gitzo tripods, Metz flashes, Gossen light meters, Rota Trim cutters, Lastolite lighting control products, plus some other products.

Yeah, I was aware of the name relations, but my question was more about the numbering conventions. Thanks!
