Howdy All,
I bought a Manfrotto ballhead and legs back in December. I just figured out that if I register the items on their website, they extend the standard 2 year warranty an additional 3 or 8 years (parts only?) depending on which product. This link covers warranty extension info for Manfrotto, Gitzo, Kata, National Geographic Bags (some extend to lifetime warranty): http://warranty.manfrotto.com/cms/warrantyregistration
Here an excerpt from the Manfrotto link: http://warranty.manfrotto.com …manfrotto_TermsConditions
