# I can't find any pictures of my ball mount on the internet...
they all appear to be the much smaller version of what I've got, it came in a humongous wooden box which weighs 10 times the weight of the tripod!
If i scribble some serial numbers down, can anyone find them on the interwebs? anyone know anything about arca swiss? I can't find diddly squat about the numbers i got!

# :D
Yay
Thank you kind Sir - I owe you 1 x cake
Reading from the big wooden box
on the box in black writing it has
"s3s 13487000"
and on a little plaque on the box it reads
"contens
s3s. 12326001
s3s. 12326005
s3s. 15251000"
The items have these serial numbers stamped on them too, and some dimwit has engraved the same thing on there too!

# OK.
I assume that there is no sign of a model number on it rather than simply a serial? Like a B2 QR or something?

# Thats it

# No worries.
By the looks of things, it is probably an older model of this www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Arca-Swiss-Monoball-B1-Ballhead-Review.aspx

But I will see what they say.
