The APDAM3B comes with wall plate that is only 17" wide, thus it can accommodate up to 16" O.C. wall studs. Where's the older model APDAM2B has a 27" wide wall plate, thus allowing for 24" O.C. wall studs. So check your wall stud spacing before deciding which one to get.Also, 2B is only rated for 115lbs wheres 3B is 165lbs

APDAM3B is only 2.75" in the flat position while APDAM2B is 4.25" in the flat position according to their descriptions.

I want to know the difference as well. Only thing i could find was that 3b net weight (28 lbs)is 3 lbs lighter than 2b. Not sure if that means less bolts in the packaging or slightly thinner steel. The reviews for 2b look better overall but the look is from the pics show them being identical..edit:Did some more digging. They are indeed the same thing and actually same price. According to another review site. Amazon ships the 3b even though it says 2b but listing has not been updated. Price + shipping of almost 20 brings price back in line with Amazons super saver shipping price. Hope this helps. I want to know the difference as well.

Seems like "Arush" answered appropriately. The newer version, that I have, is a really nice tripod. However, if you aren't going to use it heavily you would probably be fine getting the cheaper model.

The price difference is merely the different pricing from the different suppliers. Some are higher and some are lower. Just getting rid of old stock at old prices I guess? I learned my lesson a few years ago looking for a laser printer, spent a few hours comparing features, etc, then started pricing the ones I had narrowed down and ,WOW, a big difference on some sites. The prices were averaging around $400 but a few had the identical one for nearly $800. It does pay to shop around.Considering the "WD1002f Z ex" is the newer version and the "WD1002f A ex" is the older one you would think it would be the opposite.

Amazon routinely puts [OLD VERSION] if a product is not the latest version. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the product, just that it's not the latest version. Someone would be pretty ticked off if, for example, they bought Acrobat 9 for around $250 and then found out the current version is Acrobat XI and they could get that for around the same price.

Im not sure what the difference is . I have the newest one and it works great. The only problem i had was reading the instructions, they ar written in broken English and don't make much sense. If you buy one and need help learning how to use it you can email me about it. Landrithjames54@gmail.com

I didn't realize there was a difference. I just ordered the same ones that came with the new aid's. I may try the closed next time if what the Pamela South answer says is true. Good luck! Rodney G.

the black or white versions are not different, but the price changes... I guess it depends on the demand. I am not sure what you mean by old version. This is the same one I got. It has the A7 chip with 64-bit architecture and M7 motion coprocessor. The A7 and M7 make it much faster then the Apple mini.

Hello Lynda , I bought a new one just because the price difference wasn't that great so I just went with new! I am sure if you want to save a couple of bucks you couldn't go wrong!

Hello, I'm not sure what the "older" model was, ours was a 10" 12v that we loved.The newer model has Smart Power technology. It chooses which power option is most efficient. It will run on AC, DC, has it's own rechargeable batteries and you can also use and addition D-cell batteries. That is something that is now made too clear when you are shopping for them. It has internal batteries and you can add D batterries, so you have the option of 4 power sources. The fan motor is also improved to run on less power...giving you longer run time. It has a USB port also. It is a good fan. I'd shop around, I paid more for ours, but I see you can get them under $45 now.

I asked the same question and was told there the same units, the difference was the manuals. The one approved has more warnings in the manual. To be sure download each manual and compare the difference.

There is no differance, i have one of each. Get the cheaper one it is the same as the other. I was wondering myself that is why i got one of each, they are exactly the same.

As far as my research went... The cheaper one could be an older model, refurbished or an open box item (meaning it was returned).

I don't know the difference between the two--only that one is a newer model than the other. You should research the model numbers.

To Wastedyrs: I suggest the older model is more-expensive simply because it IS older....each new generation of chips, digital TVs, etc, are significantly cheaper than prior ones. No exceptions I know of, unless you account for higher functionality or features.

There's a lot of discussion about the advantages of the old version in the Amazon user reviews of both versions. I bought the (more expensive) old version and am happy with it, but never tried the newer one for comparison.
