And ohh is it beautifully put together. Expensive as heck, but stunning all the same. I have wanted their ball head for years but kept getting outbid on evilbay as they rocketed through the roof, they were going for nearly £400 plus second hand of varying quality and new are north of £500, but it would be the perfect accompaniment for my Feisol tripod and Canon EF500 Lens as they both will take the weight with ease.
Anyway, to cut to the chase, I spotted one on another site for sale at £450 and that included a Really Right Stuff TVC-23 tripod!, the Tripod alone retails in the UK for north of £800.... so a road trip was in order and now I am the proud owner of a nearly mint tripod and mint ball head.. Ever such a nice seller and when agreeing the sale he say ohh and I have the optional column which is another £130 plus and he threw that in too!
I have ordered their Arca plate for the ball head and already have a couple of their clamps spare, so I can fit them to both tripods and be able to swop the heads over rapidly as I see fit. The last similar combination on ebay went for over £1000!!
Boy if you could see my smile...
