gr8fuldoug Report post Posted January 8, 2014 As I am sure you are aware by now, a little while ago we established a "Deal of the Day" section on our site. This, "Deal of the Day" is posted everyday I am here at work, assuming I find the time each day to do this, lol. We buy lots of demos, close-outs and assorted new product deals and sometimes we wind up with enough to offer crazy cheap deal on something awesome. Todays offering is something you should jump on if you need a tripod, know someone who needs a tripod or think you'll ever need a tripod. We obtained some Vortex Dakota Tripod Legs The Dakota tripod is an ideal, rock-solid support for high-powered spotting scopes or binoculars—featuring anodized aluminum legs.
