Manfrotto Junior Geared Head 410 : Amazon.co.uk
SGD 264
I cannot estimate the discount % compared to local price, info from clubsnap forum is that some camera shops selling 300+ to low 400. This item sold for $190-$220 in year 2003-2004.
Second-hand sale on clubsnap marketplace is also very in demand.
About SGD $243 merely 10% lower than local price $268-269
Not recommended to buy together in the same order with the above 410 mount as it will be over SGD$400 including shipping and taxed 7% extra.
You can often find this item listed for SGD $120 to 160 on clubsnap forum marketplace but must be very quick to reserve it as usually it is snapped up by the next day afternoon.
The two above mentioned Manfrotto products have been rather rigid in pricing on Amazon, rarely any significant price drop.
For the 055 tripod there are 3 different version, XDB for tighten by wing nut, XB for flip lock, PROB for flip lock and centre column able to flip horizontal.
PROB's feature is not needed for astro usage and potentially add another weak point that can induce shake.
The 190 series tripod are cheaper but the leg tube diameter is smaller and rated load capacity is less.
