Wanted Manfrotto 405 gear head
Re: Wanted Manfrotto 405 gear head
Hi All:
34 persons had view this topic and not even one offer? Is this a very rare item in the market? May be this a very good and expensive gear head and no one wanted to sell, and I have to buy a new one instead.
Thanks for viewing this topic.

Manfrotto Head
Hi Airconvent,
Thanks for your advise, even 410 head is out of stock for a long time
(because it is cheap & good - a junior of 405) and agent can't even tell me when is the stock will be arrived.
At the meantime they have 1 no. of 405 head, and I have left with no other choice, because by paying for a 405 head & tripod, I can pay for a second hand APO. :?

The 405 head is not very common here....most own the 410 instead.
Even if 1-2 owns this head, they may not want to sell it now...have to be patient lah...

The 405 is actually a heavier duty head compared with the 410 (7.5Kg vs 5 kg) but I wonder if the controls on the 405 is any better than the 410. the 410 controls tend to be very tight...too tight for easy fine adjustments...
BTW, I have yet to see a 405 in singastro so far...so maybe its simply not there

405 Manfrotto Head
Hi Airconvent,
I have ordered the 405 head and will collect it by Sat, may be I will
invite you to feel the turn of the controls as soon as I get hold of it,
they told me the 405 is a much better head than the 410.
Good Day
Robin

The head cost around $550, and the Manfrotto Tripod 058 will cost around $400, all in I have to pay about $950, but I am going for it as it will be a good investment, and I will use it for demo of my other products. Since the 405 is rare, it will be a collector's item.
You are welcome to test the 405, just p.m. me to arrange for apt. I am also bringing in 2 pcs of 100mm of my own brand ; "Astro-Bino" for demo and sales, the products are scheduled to arrive early April, all are welcome to try them.

Good Day,
Robin
