Steadicam Flyer in the UK at DVinfo.net

Anyone recommend somewhere to buy a flyer from in the UK?

Importing from the US is an option. however it seems customs dont know what to class it as so generally slap on the 14% import duty rule as well as the 15% VAT. Which means Im paying £2,000 extra in import duty.

I know a UK seller would most likley have had to go through the same pain but chances are the price will be the same as importing.

Had a look at the tiffen site but most of the suppliers dont have websites and when ive phoned them have just the base unit in stock (I want the one with the 2x Powercubes and standard vest).
