I received an email this morning from the online merchant www.buy.com that lists various deals currently available through them. One of the items is for a Velbon EL Carmagne 540 Carbon Fiber Tripod with PH-250B 3-way panhead for $129.99 and includes budget shipping free ($8.29 for standard shipping). This same set-up sells at B&H for $299.99. I have made many purchases through this merchant without ever having an issue. Since there are many photographers on the site that may be interested in this, and since it lists a capacity of 8.8 pounds that should sufficiently support spotting scopes, I thought it relavant enough to warrant a posting here. I'm not sure how long this pricing will last. Also, if anyone has experience with this product, I would appreciate any feedeback.
You can check it out at the following location:
