Ah, the newer and lighter versions of the FLM ballheads apparently aren't available in Germany. The older versions (completely different designs that feature an excellent friction control) are indeed heavier.
I saw that recently when I sent by FLM heads to Germany for servicing and it struck me as strange. FLMs German website (https://english.flm-gmbh.de/) still sells and services their CB line of ball heads. Can anyone explain the reasoning behind why the flagship company's country own website doesn't list their latest GX line of ball heads, which are available to the rest of the free world.
FWIW, I'm not really interesting in purchasing any of the new FLM heads as I already have two (CB-43 & CB-48 FTRs) that are both divine. I'm just curious as to why FLM Germany doesn't sell FLMs latest GX ball heads.
