Correct, a very good price.

Yes, very useful. Sometimes the extra magnification is handy for macro and
astro work. I find mine gets the most use with a tripod. I'm fairly tall
(6'1"), and my Slik U212 doesn't really get high enough unless I extend the
center column. But if I use the Varimagni I can keep the tripod shorter, and
more stable, without straining my back. The Varimagni gets packed whenever I
have my tripod with me.
Buy it.
