Mar 27, 2014 20:12 | #1 I was going to buy this tripod from Amazon tomorrow, the price was $499.99 this morning when I woke up, now I get home and the price is now $549.95. Is this new price still a good deal? What is the regular price for this tripod? Do you think it will be back to $499.99 anytime soon? Any input is greatly appreciated. 5D IV, Rokinon 14mm, Zeiss 21mm, Rokinon 24mm 1.4, Canon 24-105L, Speedlight 430EX II

Amazon is constantly changing prices back and forth. I load my wish list up with items and check it daily to keep track. Fujifilm X-T1 | 23 | 27 | 56 | 90 | 55-200

Mar 28, 2014 01:13 | #4 I am curious why the Gitzo tripods are so OVERPRICE? Do they improve your pictures quality? To me Gitzo is plain ugly and ridiculously overprice. $700 for a set? I'd rather spend that money on a good glass. Just saying Nikon Df, D810 - 50mm f1.8G Special Edition (Black), 14-24mm f2.8G, 85mm f1.4G, 200mm f2G VR II, 300mm f2.8G VR II

Phoenixkh a mere speck More info | Mar 28, 2014 08:56 | #6 If one doesn't shoot in very challenging environments, a great tripod can last you a lifetime. I wish I could say that for camera bodies. I bought my 60D near the end of its production life and am now replacing it with a 70D. I've had the 60D for right around 2 years. My RRS tripod and monopod could well last me until I'm too old to handle a DSLR.
