Adorama has two excellent deals: first, the Induro GIT204 Grand Series 2 Stealth Carbon Fiber Tripod is further discounted by an additional 10%! It is now only $189.00, which is an incredible deal as this tripod typically goes for $360-$450.

It is a very highly reviewed carbon fiber tripod supporting up to 44 lbs of weight, while weing only 4.2 lbs. It has an impressive five year warranty, which extends to ten years when you register your tripod online. This was a very popular deal when we posted it last week, and it just got 10% better!

They also have a deal on the MeFOTO 58mm Wild Blue Yonder Circular Polarizer Filter for $19.99. We rarely see circular polarizer prices this low; this is a popular filter size for many starter lenses.
