If one is worried about the weight capacity, look at the Bogen 405 rather than
the 410.  Rated to 16 lbs vs 11 lbs of the 405.  At B&H's price of $385, it's
cheaper that the Korean Cube.  

I can't speak to the usability of the 405, I have a 410 which I purchased used
from B&H.  I haven't ever regretted it.

But that cube looks neat.  A product of the Borg?
