Arca-Swiss video head in Bangkok/Auckland for Panasonic SD700

[photoprospect]

<p>I'm going to buy a (video/fluid) head</p>

<ol>

<li>Should fit my wife's Panasinic SD700</li>

<li>It's going to be used on Gitzo 1531 (has quite a narrow base)</li>

<li>Should fit Arca-Swiss plates (not necessary, but a significant consideration)</li>

<li>Budget is not <em>that</em> important</li>

<li>Store location</li>

</ol>

<ul>

<li>Bangkok, Thailand</li>

<li>Auckland, New Zealand</li>

</ul>

<p>I'd appreciate if you could suggest</p>

<ol>

<li>Specific head models</li>

<li>Store names/locations to get the head at</li>

</ol>

<p>Thanks,<br>

Jean</p>

<p>I understand than in Bangkok, Fotofile in BKK is a good start.<br>

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with <strong>video heads</strong>, so would like to ask for <strong>recommendations </strong>(according to the above requirements)</p>

<p>I am not sure that NZ has Acra Swiss. <br>

I enquired about this for a camera a few years back and they haven't heard of it. </p>

<p>They do have Gitzo but to give you an idea, only one or two shops have them in stock, but if you want something that is not in stock, they couldn't even give me a date of when they could get it for me. They said I had to wait to their next order and they said it could be 3 months to a year.</p>

<p>Photo Warehouse is a good start, they have a branch in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland. <br>

<p>All the other stores I know only have Manfrotto or also known as Bogen in the States.</p>
