pretty cool

[tipper]

That's looks very cool and is cheap. Most good looking 'things' generally cost more.

i came (pun intended), i saw, i bought.

Brilliant bit of kit....I want one too

[/fu to IS]

[dan]

where'd you buy it from ash? i want one but with shipping it's $40 from dcc

[cGr]

Group buy.

Or just whatever ash did.

[Ted]

If you are getting one Cam, stick another on your order.

[cGr]

Ash probably just overpaid, but if I can find a reasonable buy price, I'll post up here (and get you one).

[tri_ll_ion]

i passed on the manfroto and just bought the $15 speshy

eye yam no pro!

[cGr]

B&H have them for ~$35 landed if we buy a few.

Currently exploring some local options, will see when (if?) they come back to me.

Who would be interested in a group buy?

[SecaBoy]

I thought you guys would know by now that in an impulse buyer. Lol.
I think I paid about $50 or something like that.

[tri_ll_ion]

speaking of impulse buying, tonight i bought my first real decent in-game currency to trade for shiny 3d model airplanes for USD$115.

lol. totally insane but worth the fun.

[dan]

they are $31+10 shipping from dirt cheap cameras. if you get one cam, i'll get one

[cGr]

dirt cheap don't have stock until next week. shipping is $16 for 3 (you, ted and I).

I'll email them again on Monday to make sure they've arrived and then place the order.

[Ted]

Cool, if it helps I will take two. Just in case my camera weighs more than 1kg

[cGr]

These things are awesome

Build quality is phenominal, there's enough strength in it to easily hold an SLR and a decent lens, but its still small enough to throw in my bag for the point and shoot.

Only downside is that the ballhead needs to loosen up a bit.

[SecaBoy]

Agreed. Gonna take it with me on holidays at the end of the year. Leaving the big ass tripod at home.

how sturdy are they fully loaded up?
