Another tripod sale came up while doing the Canon Lenses with Free Tripods post, the new condition Vanguard Alta Pro 264AB 100 Aluminum Tripod Kit is going for $155 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of ten units per customer. This too looks like a computer-generated price-match of 3rd-party sellers.
PS: if you haven’t seen this yet, the Wall Street Journal has an article on the High Speed Price Wars that happen behind the scenes on Amazon product pages as various sellers compete with each other and the world on pricing. [MUST READ!]
A theme is emerging for Sunday, it’s The Day of the Tripods, with yet another sale, the Induro GIT204 Grand Series 2 Stealth Carbon Fiber Tripod (4 Sections) is on sale for a limited time for $289~ with free shipping at Adorama, as one of their many April Fools-Day/Weekend Sales.
While price-checking things for the Canon Lenses with Free Tripods post, another tripod sale came up, it is the new condition Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminum Tripod going for $179 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of ten units per customer. This looks like a computer-generated price-match of 3rd-party sellers offering it at that price, so its existence may depend on the 3rd-party sellers continuing their sale (or if Amazon’s price-match mechanism has its own auto-timeout feature or who-knows how Amazon and it’s Data Bots decide things).
Some people like bundles with lots of small accessories, others don’t because they don’t need/want extra small accessories. But they may be a lot more interested when camera gear are bundled with “real” accessories, in this case, “real” Manfrotto and Vanguard tripods! Adorama is offering some of these bundles as part of their Canon Instant Rebates special promotion:
With Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminum Tripod
+ Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM for $1699
+ Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM Lens for $1848
+ tripod on its own goes for $179 by Amazon itself which is a sale/price-match of 3rd-party sellers
+ tripod on its own goes for $250 at B&H Photo
With Vanguard 264AB-100 Tripod
+ Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM for $1899
+ Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L II USM IS for $1999
+ tripod on its own goes for $155 by Amazon itself which is a sale/price-match of 3rd-party sellers

It’s unofficial Tripod Day today! In addition to the previously posted tripod deals we have another one, it is the new condition Sunpak 620-520DLX Tripod going for $10 at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of up to ten units per customer. It is currently restricted to Prime members. The shipping estimate is “1 to 2 months”, so don’t get it if you need it yesterday. The “1 to 2 months” is also sometimes (but not always) an indicator that the offer is getting close to ending.
As of a 4/2/17 re-check, this is sold out from Amazon itself and cannot be ordered even…
On the adorable accessories front, the Manfrotto MTPIXI-B PIXI Mini Tripod is on sale for $16 by Amazon itself, with a limit of up to ten per customer. As of 4/1/17 re-check this is available to Prime members only, so free 2-day shipping… For many more camera and technology and other Amazon sales, check the Elsewhere at Amazon section…
The Canon 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L II USM IS is one of the Adorama VIP sales with a bundle of many free small accessories for $2000 BUT if you prefer one big accessory instead of a handful of near-consumables, Adorama has another bundle, also going for $2000 with free shipping, bundled WITH the Vanguard 264AB-100 4-Section Aluminum Alloy Alta Pro 264-AT Tripod Legs with SBH-100 QR Ballhead. The Vanguard goes for $180 on its own. The bundle is “temporarily on backorder” because the tripod is backordered, but you can order it if you like the price/combo.
Clearance coupon GREEN20 can get you the Monoprice Carbon Fiber Tripod/Monopod Expert Series (Medium) for $58~ plus shipping. The price before the coupon is $72~. The coupon works for some (but NOT all) of the items featured in their Clearance page. Note that their clearance page is not self-updating, so the sold-out items are not removed automatically from it.
Another in-stock alert, the Manfrotto BeFree Live Video Kit with Tripod and Fluid Head, model MVKBFR-LIVEUS, is now in-stock and ready to ship for $240 with free expedited shipping at Adorama… For more action, check their Saint Patrick’s Day sale…

This offer expired… Back to the eBay Deals where the official BestBuy eBay store is offering the new condition Insignia 64-inch Tripod for $20. Limit up to three per customer. Free store pickup, but shipping is extra ($7.50). It’s a lot more expensive to ship a tripod than a memory card or a USB flash drive #MasterOfTheObvious 🙂
