Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) is the Manfrotto 294 Carbon Fiber Tripod with 804RC2 3-Way Head for only $189.88.
This carbon fiber tripod + 3-way head weighs 5.2 lbs and has a capacity of up to 8.82 lbs, and can extend to nearly 6 feet. Good savings (while quantities last): it’s a $130 discount from the regular price of $319.88.
As usual, B&H DealZone deals are only available for 24 hours or until sold out, whichever happens first.
I found amazon has this… i.e., the Manfrotto 294 Carbon Fiber Tripod with 804RC2 3-Way Head for $179… with the regular price being $200.
Are you sure it’s the same one? It’s coming up as $319.88 from authorized Manfrotto dealers at Amazon, and $260 from 3rd-party sellers: http://amzn.to/1IrN2ie
There is also an aluminum 294 tripod, and there are several different variants of head, so check that one
Is th deal still good? It comes out as $319.88..
No, it sold out last night.
Oh my… You are absolutely correct…. the one I found on amazon was aluminum, not carbon fiber. Ufff… I think it was too early for me clearly. No more posting before 5:30am for this price watcher!
