Anodizing error -> Your big savings. 
 
Well sometimes things go sideways in manufacturing processes. We ordered our regular batch of leg fittings recently and someone dropped the ball and put the wrong green in the tank and all the parts came back shiny green, not the military olive-green that we specify. It is something like a shiny Christmas green, if that makes any sense. We have added some photos to help you see what we mean.
 
There is nothing wrong with these parts except that they are just the wrong colour. Unfortunately, we can't redo the colour because that strips away so much aluminum that the parts will be loose. Anyway, it's a big investment in time and energy, and heck, maybe some of y'all like green.  Rather than throw these in the recycler, we've decided to discount them and get them out of here as we have already re-ordered what we need.
 
Designed, manufactured, and assembled in Canada, and tested under our harshest conditions. We have redesigned this tripod from the ground up to make sure it has everything you need for nature photography, especially suited for Jobu Design gimbal head use. This tripod incorporates all the strong and lightweight design characteristics of the robust Jobu Design line. Its versatile features allow for variety of shooting setups, whether it be flat to the ground, 5 feet up, and anything in between. If you have a Jobu Design gimbal head, the Algonquin tripod is its perfect partner. 
 
 
 
Standard 5 year warranty - although we fully expect a much longer life with these products. We cannot however accept returns or exchange tripods for cosmetic reasons (changes in color, nicks, scratches, regular wear-and-tear, etc.) and cannot cover any damage caused by traumatic events, or abuse or misuse (or sheer stupidity like our extreme testing below). 
 
Further Note on the 5-Year Warranty. Tripods must be cleaned by the user after immersion in water, muddy water, salt-water or any combination of those elements before being left to dry out. A tripod that is seized-up due to negligent care is not covered by our warranty. Shipping cost to and from our factory + 2 hours of shop labour ($150+shipping) will be charged for cleaning a tripod and replacing worn and damaged components. Follow our YouTube video on how to clean your tripod and be happy!
