First think this thing is cheap.
Got a CF + this ball head for only est 155 usd. ( package )
The Tripod leg cost est 133 usd ( leg only )
The Ball head 48 usd ( Head only )

I can't give you guys a very good review bec i just had this for 1 wk or so used it once then needed to dismantle it due to the pan action not being smooth and needs to excert a lot of effort to adjust. Found out later that there was very little or no greese on the bering that is giving friction to the pan action.For me build quality is good.

But for now it seems to hold my 40d, Nissin di 622 flash and tamron 28-75 2.8 with out any problems. Head is rated at 6kg but some has written it to be rated 8kg.

the legs are rated 8kg. ( pics to follow )
Folded Height: 570mm
Maximum Operating Height: 1440mm
Minimum Height: 380mm
Net Weight: 1255g
Maximum Load Weight: 8kg

Additional Features:
Quick Twist Leg Lock
Low angle Shot
Wing Nut Elevator Lock
Center Column attached with Hook
Removable Elevator for better reverse shooting
Tripod Case
Current Bike:
Suzuki Raider 150 (figure it out):dunno
Yamaha mio 180cc 4V

Former Bikes:
Italjet Dragster 172cc Full race
Honda NSR250 PGMIII Full race
Honda Dio 90 H2O cooled Full race

    this is the issue i was talking about.. No greese on the grooves where the bering is running.. and I accidentaly left the spring outside the frame it is the one that pushes the bering.

    the aluminum ( no paint ) is the one that is moving for the pan action .. it is also the one that the bolt is holding so it will not move.

    be careful on that dismantling of the knob. I almost lost the very small bering.. it jumps!

    I'm looking forward to your full reaction to the ballhead and legs after you've had some time with the system. Thanks for the images and especially the dismantled images.

    Is this system available for the US market?
