Does anybody know where I can get one of these? I have tried everybody I can think of with no luck! Please help!

A few Amazon UK resellers have this and claim it to be in stock. Might be advisable to get in touch with them.

It does seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth, I was considering getting this monopod myself.

Contacted all of them and the general feedback I am getting is nothing till the end of October. A lot of companies are claiming that if you pay now you may get the item earlier but I would wait because the chances of that happening are quite slim.

You might wanne try over at B&H... they seem to have them in stock, according to their product page at Manfrotto Fluid Video Monopod W/Head 561BHDV-1 B&H Photo Video (http://hypr.nl/3A)

***sorry, only just saw you're from the UK..
