Seriously good deal here. This head does not however have a Q/R plate. Camera screws directly to the plate.

Guess it helps if you are using a 5" x 4" or 10" x 8". Can't see Stephen needing all that though.

I've an eye for a bargain so I went for the MN229 from WE. Hopefully should arrive Monday.

Thanks for your help, chaps.

Stephen,

Thats a head capable of taking your ' gentleman's ' lens with no problems.

Good decision for the long term.

Thats a belter of a head, though for that sort of money I may have been seduced by the geared head of the MN410, esp for the studio.

I can well understand that from a studio standpoint Stephen, expensive lust.
Just did a price check at Wh/E. Serious price leap for relativly small load increase between the 410 and 405, won't even mention the 400.

410 Geared Head - load capacity 5kg .... £139.95
405 Geared Head - load capacity 7.4kg .... £279.95

Just to give people an idea of what we are talking about I link to pictures.
410 http://www.manfrotto.com/webdav/site...s/zoom/410.jpg
405 http://www.manfrotto.com/webdav/site...s/zoom/405.jpg

Bees knees in a studio though.

Sadly, it appears someone beat me to that bargain

I'll have to wait for Monday until I can telephone someone at WE as an e-mail I received at 16:00 stated item on backorder and as it was a returned item I think I may be waiting some time
