Dolica Products Currently on Sale

The link below is for a carbon fiber 70" Dolica tripod, (along with other Dolica products) currently on sale at the Dolica website for $199.99. With the penny change from a $200 bill, you could actually pay for 1 hour of parking in downtown Marshall, MI, set up the tripod and camera, take photos, and probably meet some of my in-laws:

With this tripod I can successfully support my Nikon D750 and 80-400 lens, without creep, as well as lesser weight combinations. I can also unscrew one of the legs, take out the center column, and construct a monopod that is up to 7' tall. The system is very cleverly designed, but pay attention the first time you unpack it, because it has to go back into the travel bag exactly the same way it came out (I generally loosen all of the ball head knobs to facilitate adjustments in bagging it). Also, make sure the Arca-Swiss style plate is the correct size, as they sent me an incorrect one.
My overall impression of Dolica is that they make excellent products for very reasonable prices, but they have an extremely small (but cooperative) customer service department. Once you get the system set up the way you need it, it's hard to beat the quality for the price.
Of course I have no connection to Dolica except as a satisfied user of their products.

I have a light-weight Dolica that was in the $50 range. One of the locking levers broke off, I wrote them about a replacement lever, and they sent me a whole new leg - $0.00.
