It would appear that the opinion on this matter is strongly impacted by what tech camera brand is distributed by each of you guys.
Doug sells Arca and predicts a bright future for the Arca-P1 relationship...
Steve sells Alpa and predicts a bright future for the Alpa-P1 relationship...
The reality is probably that the only real winner here is Cambo.
Arca will most definitely survive thanks to their heads and wide range of products for non backs. As far as Alpa goes, they have been trying to diversify recently, probably knowing what was coming from P1, but...
Cheers,

I can comment on Alpa, Cambo, and Arca Swiss, as well, since we distribute all three of them.
We are factually aware of the conversations with Alpa and Phase One. What will come of them - time will tell.
Cambo certainly has a leg up, as the WRS mount naturally plays right into their eco system. But their is ample talent on board with all three of these companies, and they're not large companies, not over extended. Survival is a likelihood with all of them.
