Bought this for ₹1499 from flipkart. For gifting to someone.

Holiday well spent. Built this F1 Car out of Porsche 911 RSR (40296), thanks to free instructions from rebrickable.

One thing i can say is that if you own a technic set, dismantling it is far far tedious than putting it. You will end up hurting your fingers and breaking the black and blue pins so you better have spares available.
I am not sure if I want to rebuild MOC for technic sets at least from now as I feel building alternate builds for regular non technic legos may be far easier.

Finally done. What a build!! Takes immense effort and has so many intricate steps. Totally worth the time spent. And this thing is so huge. Weights 1.45 Kg (yes i actually measured).
And not to forget, this is not even the original lego. I got this From China for under 2K (thanks to my cousin who got it personally).
Cumulative effort of my kid and myself.
One lego mini figure and iPhone 13 for scale to show how huge this set is.

Search for 31147. Each Lego set has a number on the box. Easier to find with number. Even in subReddit Lego, numbers are references.

This is the BMW 1000RR Bike. Lego set# 42130. But please be aware that the one I made is NOT Original Lego. It is 1:1 copy of lego that I bought from China for under 2000 rupees (actual lego retail is 28K) through my cousin who travels to China every few months.

You have linked to the camera lego set.

Unfortunately no. And yes there are chinese clone sets of most of popular lego sets. Especially technic ones.
Check my earlier posts in this thread. I have posted pics of some chinese 1:1 copy of sets I bought for fraction of price of original lego of same model.
In India you won't find any store selling. Only options are getting from china based sellers using some freight forwarder or through some other ways. I have got couple of sms sets through Pandabuy but recently it has bee shut down due to a raid and no one is sure if it will come back.
