Pistol Grip Head & Tripod

[Alfian]

Hi all,

don't know whether this will be of any use or interest to anyone but in the process of looking for a spare top plate for my pistol grip ball head mount came across the following:

and:

The first is identical to the ball head I have and has been talked about/recommended before in its various guises. The second looks identical to the set up I bought originally - tripod included under the name of "PhotxPro TP39" but is no longer available at Amazon UK.

The tripod  is quite heavy, well made, and has adjustable clamps. Probably not upto Manfrotto quality - but I've had no problems as yet. Takes my Skymax 102 easily.

Although  there is the hassle of importing from the USA (free shipping?) given the dollar/pound exchange rate and even if shipping costs are paid - I still think this looks like a good deal.

Still not as good a deal as the one I got originally but still a good buy.
