Seen it and test it here right at the mini meets from MCWB, it looks good but no where equivalent or near the quality and value of Gitzo or Manfrotto CF.

Each brand has difference market and prospect buyers.

Bigpix,
I can only do the Gitzo, not other brands.

O/T BTW, I'm holding your back order in my stock, I'll send them to you on your return.

Bit short for me anyway - 150cm full extended.

Birddog, don't think this tripod is the Feisol, even though the model numbers are similar. Has different leg locks and spiral wound CF

Yes, I knew, and they're from Taiwan or China, if I'm not wrong here. It's similar product of Feisol, perhaps one of their cousin or partner same as Gitzo and Manfrotto.

And it's 47" tall and 3.5 lbs why bother with carbon? This is pretty cheap,

I think you are right about a cousin. They look different but have similar model numbers. Don't think I will sell the Gitzo anytime soon :wink:

Like the LCD monitors, only 3 companies in Taiwan & Japan manufacture the panel but hundred of brands in the market.

If the demand are big enough from this board, I can rebadge some good LCD monitors with the logo of "WWW.DSLRusers.com" or "D70Users.com". :lol:

Some manufacturers are smarter, they may have some difference products but marketting under difference brand in difference regions.

I know I'm OT, but...

Wait... what panel does Benq use for their FP937s? Lol. That's the model I'm looking at.

BenQ made their own panels and it's one of the panel manufacturer, Acer uses BenQ's panels.
Come into Saturday at the mini meet and get it at the best price in town.

Edit: FP937S+ is their top of the line 19" LCD
