Just want to inform you guys that the recommended head of Ka Romy, the Manfrotto 3421 gimbal head is now available at Island photo at Photo World dicounted price.
Good buy, a lot cheaper than getting it on-line. It's US$187 at B&H. :)Got one for PHP 5,600.00 less 10% for cash payment. They only have few units available.

Better hurry up guys, stocks may not even be enough just for our groups consumption  If you miss this, I think new stocks will arrive October  By the way, 055 Tripod is also a steal at about PHP 4,500 pesos cash. Got one to see if it stands up to the heavy Gimbal head. It's more than a hundred dollars on-line. |

They're not answering the phone, probably closed for the night, will have to send Arnold in tomorrow first hour. ;D BTW, I plan to set up two BIF rigs when at Candaba using two 3421s - 1DM2 + 500 f4 + 1.4x for near and fast fliers, plus 40D + Sigmonster for slow moving ones. Maybe you guys can reserve na tonight Island Photo: Gamboa Address: First Midland Condominium, #108 Gamboa St., Legazpi Village, Makati City Tel:810-7616, 894-5108 |

Now, here's a suggestion.
The 3421 is great but very heaaaavy. Why can't someone fabricate it in aluminum? The fabricator can even make it smaller by fitting it exactly to a 40D+400mmL+1.4X combination which, I think many of us use. I think the 3421's current configuration is too large and hefty to accomodate the large 600mm lenses (Master Romy, pls correct me if wrong).
I cannot see any reason why this thing cannot be done locally.
Of course, I'm not sure about aluminum's shear, tensile, etc strengths if as good as the steel of the current model. JP, jump on it! Maybe you can sell it for half the 3421 price, at half the weight! I'm sure you've got a captured market here.
BTW, I've been talking to the Gamboa-Island Photo guys several times already re this head but the guy there doesn't even know what a gimbal is. Good thing they wised up already.
