Anyone know where to buy this one? Seems pretty good to me, even though it's said to be slightly plasticky around.

The expensive version of the manfrotto 501.

Expandore may have it.

If it was sold tripod head alone I might get one but I've found the 75mm bowl Sachtler legs usually cannot make it

I checked it will only be out in march/april. Probably you can pre order 1 with expandore or Profi

Not sure if this is the only one in Singapore, but this is a production unit that is the first one to touch down through Vitec group.
They personally loaned to me (as well as an old Vinten Vision 3 system) for testing.

It's got its good and bad points. Philip Bloom and Johnnie Behiri (Cinema5D) were dead-on with their short reviews.
