Pretty funny you got it from Italy.
That's the Indian stuff which is being offered by many different sellers on eBay under several custom brands. It has been discussed widely here and in other video related forums. Not so bad but, honestly, I'd rather go for a second mattebox fom one of the leading brands.

BTW, I've just bought a fully featured Chrosziel 3x3 MB (S1001), adapter rings. donoughs and a foamed Pelican case on eBay for $100. :-)
