They are a great head. I have had my 488RC2 coupled with a set of 3021BPro legs and I'm very impressed with the combo.

Another option, if time is more critical than price, is to get the 488 (no RC at all) and a 3299 Rectangular Plate adapter. I did this and replaced the 488's mounting plate with the 3299's base. Works great.

Yeah theyre pretty good. I researched them on www.resellerratings.co​m (external link) and they had a better lifetime rating than B&H and Adorama, so I thought why not give them a shot. Im glad I did.

Well one call is out of them too. I have been told that Manfrotto is probably doing a model change over, and that this model number will probably be discontinued, dont know if that means the entire head will be or not. Still Looking.

Dealtime has 3 listed in which each business is listed as having them in stock, but you might contact each of them to check.

Another thread says that there will be a shipment in a few days to that store (Cameraworld, UK).
