It looks pretty good. Once they get a distribution in the US, it would be worth considering - or "hop the pond" and pick one up in the UK. Good excuse for a trip, eh?

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

This thing must be amazing. It is rated at 8kg - any more it could double as a stool.

Looks like a Feisol tripod in many ways (not a bad thing BTW).

I spoke to Adorama rep about these tripods and he said it was a over seas company that wasn't shipping to USA.

We're currently negotiating with a couple of US Distributors. Feel free to ask your Adorama Rep to call us or email us directly. We're not currently tied into any deals in the US so can supply direct.

For those of you interested, the prices on our website include 20% VAT which is removed for US exports. Shipping is around £25/$37

Welcome to the site, just noticed you guys are new. Do you guys plan to offer a tripod that has the snap in place locks on legs rather than the twist? Catchy looking tripods :thumbsup:

At the moment we have no plans to use clip locks. In our combined experience, they don't do the job as well as friction locks. We may, at some stage, revisit the idea of a paddle lock, but not for a while.

Really, I had wondered about that some time ago. I was thinking the friction ones hold tighter as you can control the tension.
