Hi folks. I am looking for a Kirk PZ-36 quick release plate or similar (Arca fit, quite long) - see here

Warehouse express is a blank. Any clues as to where I could get one without import would be much appreciated: I know there is a seller on the evil place, but I'm reluctant to use him without recommendation.
Kind regards and thanks
David.

Try here, the giottos are supposed to be OK. I have used the FLM and been happy.

I have bought long plates on ebay from China without incident or duty as they were so cheap.

Thanks Dave. I bought the chinese plates from ebay too, and they seem fine. For less than twenty quid all in, - compared to $55 bucks plus shipping plus VAT plus some arbitrary amount of money as an offering to the god of parcelforce - they are pretty reasonble too.
Cheers
David.
