Some of you are aware of the Nest NT-530H Carbon Fiber Gimbal head that I was doing evaluations on earlier this winter, some of you have even bought them from my first dealer shipment.
The Nest factory has offered my little store the exclusive USA distributorship for this head, not just a dealership. I have tentatively accepted their contract and am right now in a minor negotiation with them over warranty work. These heads come with a 5 year factory warranty, but the factory is half way around the world. If I am going to be the USA distributor, I want to be the USA Authorized Repair and Warranty Center also, so I am asking for a certain amount of repair parts inventory to be supplied to me for free in advance. Once that issue is sufficiently resolved the contract will be signed and I will be seeking a few dealers around the country in order to have a dealer network setup by early summer.
Quite a feather in the cap of the little guy trying to compete with the corporate world of photography equipment stores!
The selling price will remain at $298 and will include one 6" long ARCA QR plate, a padded and fitted carrying case, and FREE SHIPPING in the USA. Next large inventory shipment is due at the store by April 2nd, or even sooner depending on customs.
