Title: Where to buy a sidekick?　哪裡可以買到 Sidekick 雲台？
Post by Andrew on Oct 18^th, 2005, 2:17pm

I mentioned in an earlier post that I wanted to replace my heavy Wimberley head with a Sidekick or equivalent but I have not been able to find one in Stanley Street. Photo & Scientific said they had never heard of either Wimberley or a gimbal head and another shop insisted gimbal was a brand but not sold in HK!!!

Has anybody managed to buy a Sidekick or equivalent here and if so, please tell me where.

Many thanks

Andrew

I didn't look for a sidekick in HK as I had already ordered one but I found a very good camera shop at 6 Carnarvon Rd TST on Friday - they are the distributor for Arca-Swiss and seemed to have absolutely everything. Prices seemed Ok too. Stanley St seems to be going down hill :'(
