Thanks Kieth. Thanks very much. It's brilliant and has a water level, scale etc. I wonder if it's sturdy enough for long focal lengths? But afterall for that the Nodal Point doesn't really matter that much. I have read that Manfrotto makes one for 100 Euros, but it's quite simple - not sofiticated like this one.
