That's odd. I bought a lithium phone battery from Amazon recently. I can't remember who delivered it, but I had to return it and it went back via collectplus. I had to print out a special warning label for the outside of the package.

My 5D3 recognises (dodgy I guess) serial numbers on my clone batteries.

Another +1 for HDEW. Bought a couple of lenses and a 5D3 from then. Great service.

Well mine has turned up and I have to say it does appear to be genuine.

Last one in stock just bought, thanks.

I bought my 622 tx from the eBay seller dream2buy a couple of weeks ago. Good price and fast uk dispatch.

5D took 5 days from HK with HDEW. 300mm F4 L a couple of days from the UK.

Bought a 5D iii and 300mm F4 L from them. Very good service.

Buy grey from HDEW with a vat receipt. Money saved, job done.

A friend was telling me at the weekend that it's possible to be unlucky with Sigma lenses and sometimes getting a replacement is the thing to do.

I had a DPD delivery recently and complemented the driver on delivering within the time slot I'd been notified of. His response was that he didn't get paid if he missed it!

Thanks for the replies. I had it in my head that I'd need to have the joystick pointing away from the head, hence my overall measured height of around 80cm.

Please could anyone confirm whether a Manfrotto 190XPROB fitted with a 322rc2 head will fit in a Manfrotto 80cm unpadded bag? I've measured my tripod and head at about 80cm long but the Manfrotto website says that the internal length of the bag is only 77cm. Many thanks.
