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.
