This page has the new tripod, and 2 ball heads. The price appears to be around $1100 to $1200 USD with tripod, larger ball head, and carrycase.

Good tip! I've updated the original story that this info is now up on Leica's site.

I've also added additional info about Leica re-branding these FLM products.

Thanks! I'd sure like to hear about how stable this is in breezy conditions. You think maybe reading reviews on the FLM version would suffice?

Oh, for sure. I added two videos to the story, which show the features of each. The tripod legs in particular, ratchet out to various positions - allowing you to get low and wide for extreme stability. There's also a hook on the center column (or bottom of head if removed), from which you can hang your camera bag to weigh it down... Finally, the rubber tips on the legs screw in, revealing a spike. Great for softer ground. I wouldn't worry about stability...
