I do think there will be manfrotto promotion soon... Slik and Gitzo are distributed by Cathay Photo therefore they can have promotion anytime.

AS for Manfrotto it's distriubutionship are by Transmarco H.Warta PTE Ltd and Jebsen & Jessen Marketing (S) Pte Ltd. So far, never seen a promotion before.
