So excited. (Not that I will be when he tells me the price as I think it'll be more than £200 - BUT I could be wrong.)
I would expect it to come in under £150 and maybe less if they'll do a combo deal. Get the carry-strap as well, because this is a heavy piece of kit.

I'll post on here what the price is. I'll get the caryy-strap some other time (if I decide I need one). Only interested in the tripod at the moment.

and the 804RC2 head for £ 44

Well under your £ 200
