Good price for Australian Stock, most other places have it for $300.
Also, when used in conjunction with Camera Direct's discount gift cards (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/91810), for the peeps who brought 4 of them (maximum), the price will then become $156 which is comparable to importing from Overseas (example, Amazon around $163 shipped http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UMX7FI/ref=ox_sc_act_ti…).
Happy Snapping.
lol yeha forgot the most important detail when reviewing
I hate how people say "Australian Stock".
It just means they have stock in their stores because it comes from USA or China.
There is no difference being "Australian" or non-Australian.
Sometimes I want to be able to pick up and use it right away.
Yeah I was suss about this because I had seens other post by Camera Direct saying that their stuff if "Australian stock" when they really just import them and resell. I was hoping they might have turned a leaf though and started to get official Australian stock.
But on the other hand, it is good to have a store to yell at if the tripod was to break, that is the risk they take by importing.
manfrotto has worldwide warranty so it doesn't matter where the stock is from as long as its from a legitimate distributor
Sweet thanks!
do i need to buy a separate head on this or can I just use this straight away?
You'll need a separate head. This is just a tripod, not a tripod/head combo.
I own this tripod and use it in combination with this: http://www.gitzo.com/series-1-mag-centre-ball-head-quick-rel… Works really well and properly rugged.
