Edit: Tripod was snatched up.

If someone really wants one, I could probably part with mine. Unfortunately I probably can't offer free shipping. It's pretty much NIB. I think I just agreed the spring'd hook on the bottom.

They're back on Amazon. I just picked one up.

Looks like you found it on Amazon. Sorry I missed your post yesterday. If anyone cannot find one on Amazon, Ebay or whatever at some point, just shoot me a PM.

Actually, I just did a quick search and didn't see them on Amazon. You might post a link if you have one to help others out.

Looks like it's back to $220 now. It was $60 an hour or so ago.

Keep checking because it appears to fluctuate a bunch!

Was yours sold by Botach? My guess is that maybe the sneak in and list one at their price when one is available and then it drops off once sold.

 

[Ben Nicholson]

Yep, Botach Tactical.

I received my tripod yesterday and I am impressed with it for the price! I already took off the two lower sections and saved 1 lb 13oz. I added the #3 spring ro hold up the weight hook. Being the dummy that I am, I lost one of the springs for the ball bearings, even though I knew it would shoot out! So I picked up a 5/32" X 1" spring and cut it in half and it works perfect for the ball bearing spring.

Mine came yesterday to. I'll be using an arrow saw and cutting down the two upper sections and using epoxy to bond them together providing a mounting place for the two lower sections. Hopefully that'll cut the wieght down even more. I'll also trimming the center section

Purchased a dozen of these when they first hit Amazon several months ago. 11 were spoken for within a couple hours with no complaints other than the cheap head. I will be modifying the one I kept. Thanks to those who posted their mods.

Well let's see how much I can lighten one up

not for everyone but cutting off the upper leg sections and middle section cut 14oz. Will be cutting the second section also and using third and bottom section for adjustment.

I'm happy with mine. I'm going to shorten it to drop some weight. Any suggestions on what replacement head to get for it? I'm only running binos off it.

Thanks,
Ben

 

[Dos Perros]

The head seems decent for 18oz. For binos tho you'd probably want a ball head?

 

[nickstone]

I'm in the market for one if somebody has one for sale too.
Thanks

since reading this thread ive found some other options. there are a few very similar carbon fiber tripods on Ebay like the OBO-Carbon-Fiber-DSLR-Camera-Tripod for less than 70$. i purchased one and did all the mods suggested including using an arrow saw to cut the legs and plastic or rubber chair leg tips to cover the ends.. worked great thanks! i also picked up a used Dolica TX570DS. its aluminum but being more compact and the head weighs less.using an angled spotting scope and since most my glassing will be sitting im unscrewing all the leg sections but the one to save weight. should work great on my upcoming trip.thanks for all the info!
