[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 668879, member: 24285"] Sounds like the ones in the $300ish $400 are the better quality ones - not hearing anyone singing the praises of the cheaper 'neewer' Amazon versions out there in the $100 or so range. I have looked at the Benro - I think it was the GH3 but one of the heavier ones (and maybe that is a good thing). There are several good reviews of the Jobu Jr. 3 out there - one of the lighter ones. Still in that $400ish range. I can order from B&H and have done so in the past, typically a week to ten days to cross the border. They have a good shipping rates to Canada. But if I have a problem, return shipping can be prohibative. Found that to be the case with a Westcott softbox I ordered from them, return shipping was close to 80% buying new again so made no sense, but with higher priced items it would be. Most Canadian retailers special order gimbals so options to handle one are limited. Witht his kind of thing, how it feels matters. [/QUOTE]
