Carbon Fiber tripod for $99.99 - not spam :)

I know that title of the thread looks like SPAM, but this is legit.

www.woot.com has a Sunpak Pro523X2 carbon fiber tripod with pistol grip ball head on sale for $99.99 + $5 shipping.

If you're not familiar with Woot, they offer one deal per day until the inventory is gone, or until midnight. I have purchased a few things from them in the past. B&H is offering this same set up for $171.87. If you are in the market for an inexpensive carbon fiber tripod, you may want to check out this deal.

I saw this on WOOT! yesterday and almost bought it. The tripod w/ pistol grip retails for roughly $175 so the woot price was a great deal.

I didn't see this until this morning.

I missed it - but thanks for the heads-up.
