Geoff. I think Marks talking about the same head I linked to. It's  
basically a hinge and it costs $25. I've only had it about a year and  
it only says Manfrotto. I have 3 or 4 other, older Manfrotto heads  
that also say distributed by Bogen. According to the Manfrotto site,  
Bogen Imaging was changed to Manfrotto Distribution this year.
