Gitai KS1 ballhead??

[Mr_Sukebe]

Was browsing through Ebay, and spotted this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KS-1-Tripod-Ball-Head-for-Benro-Manfrotto-Gitzo-GIFT_W0QQitemZ260416317437QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CamerasPhoto_CameraAccessories_TripodsSupports?hash=item3ca205a7fd&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1690|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50

Couldn't help but think that it looked quite similar to some of the big name units.
Any have some experience with them?

Interesting, I seem to have found the manufacturer, or claimed manufacturer:

Just to add, eventually found a Chinese dealer:

500 yuan is equal to around £48. Take into account the risk on shipping, I think I'd much rather go with a Redsnapper unit, which seems fairly similar.

I may be wrong, but I think Welly might have a cheap Arca-Swiss compatible that he bought on eBay for about this sort of money.

If the camera plate is sound, then it's probably worth £20 on its own, but I'd imagine the ball-head will be utter rubbish.
