I also did some digging and found a promo code for 1-10% off. Code: VALENTINES After everything it was only $561.63 Free Shipping 4-5 Days
Never ordered from that site before, but I thought I'd take a chance. Other people stand by the site with positive reviews. Won't know the legitimacy until it arrives though. Plus I paid through PayPal, so I should be able to get my money back if I run into any funny business with my order.
I will update this comment if I receive it before the drop ends.
This is not a post to compete with Massdrop, this is simply for my fellow people looking to save some cash.

UPDATE: 02/14/2018 eglobalcentral.com notified me that it is currently being packaged to ship.
UPDATE: 02/15/2018 Received a txt update from DHL this morning that the Crane 2 has shipped and should be delivered tomorrow 02/16/2018! So far so good!
UPDATE: 02/16/2018 DHL sent me a notification that the Crane 2 has been delivered. I will take photos once I get home.
FINAL UPDATE: 02/16/18 The Crane 2 was delivered and works perfectly. Brand New Free Shipping from HONG KONG to California in 3 days!!!! If the sale is still going, jump on it. It was a shot in the dark, but was completely worth it.

RIBsfitYou're fine, you even bit the bullet for us to see if that place is legit. We're all just looking for a good deal, so you're a-ok.

SopOttsRip, it seems that the batteries are the only problem preventing it to being shipped outside the U.S.

RIBsfitAs you already confirmed yourself, I've ordered twice from Eglobal central and they deliver fast and products are genuine. Don't know how they do it, but they beat prices in EU by 20-30% easily, even the shops that have the same products on sale. Often they are 50% or so below MSRP. Exceptionally low shipping costs too. Got Hero Black 6 and a Gimbal for it there, both arrived within the week. But they don't have everything, so any street smart consumer will always scour Amazon, Massdrop and these types of sites for the best deal instead of always going with a single site.

RIBsfitSo, now the question is: does it have a warranty, is it grey market, or is it an international product with no warranty?

RIBsfitThe only thing is: generally I value the manufacturers warranty more (especially if it is international and can be claimed upon at the local branch whereever you may live/reside) as opposed to the seller's warranty. @Your_Average_Gamer did trigger me by making me wonder which type of warranty it is. A grey market item generally only has seller's warranty and not manufacturers warranty (you can lookup the warranty situation with luxury watches if you're interested in that whole bag of hornets). The screenshot of Eglobal Central does not specify what type of warranty it is, so it is still nagging me. I guess I could check with GoPro directly what the situation is, since I get my hero 6 black from this place. If I end up getting a response, I'll be sure to post it here.

RIBsfitThanks for the Head's Up. I ordered one on February 18th and today February 21st they said it is leaving Hong Kong today (DHL) arriving at my home tomorrow! I'm in Los Angeles, so DHL's Hub must be here, but that's crazy fast delivery. I was also able to use the same Code and paid the same $561.63.

SpiemelOk, so I looked it up on the site itself: it is a seller's warranty and not a manufacturers warranty (emphasis added by me)
Please note that all our products are imported goods and will not come with manufacturer's warranty but instead we will cover the warranty through our own company.
Link to the warranty page: https://www.eglobalcentral.com/warranty-policy.html
So it seems like these are Grey market products. In some cases a manufacturer would still grant your warranty claim under their own warranty, but that would be either generosity from their side or sometimes just a mistake if the person handling your claim didn't check the warranty status properly.
For me it won't rule out purchasing from this site, but I will certainly be more careful when deciding which products I will or will not buy from this site.
As they say: caveat emptor
