I am presently in NY on business and was wondering how Gitzo CF Tripod prices compare to those at Cathay Photo.
I have no idea what the latest prices for the legs are at Cathay.
A couple of models that I am interested in:
Mountaineer Series
G1227 CF Reporter 2 - USD$464.95 (SGD$851.57)
G1228 CF Reporter 2 - USD$509.95 (SGD$933.99)
Leveling Series
G1227 LVL Reporter 2 - USD$649.95 (SGD$1190.41)
G1228 LVL Reporter 2 - USD$688.95 (SGD$1261.84)
Explorer Series
G2227 CF Explorer 2 - USD$469.95 (SGD$860.73)
G2228 CF Explorer 2 - USD$539.95 (SGD$988.94)
(USD$1 = SGD$1.69), NY sales tax if 8.375%.
SGD prices after conversion + tax. It seems like Cathay Photo is cheaper? Can someone confirm this as well as the availability of the models.
I know that the ballheads here are a tad cheaper:
Arca-Swiss B-1 Monoball w/QR - USD$399.95 (SGD$732.52)
But there is always the question of warranty.
If the savings are minimal, I think I'll drop the idea of getting a set of head and legs.
But Really Right Stuff seems to be coming out with a mid sized ball head soon besides the RRS BH-55LR. The RRS BH-40LR.
Anyone using RRS here? Any advice how it compares against the Arca-Swiss?
Thanks in advance!
