I can see the headline:

"Last camera store closes. Blames Best Buy."

The Good News: They aren't selling real tripods.

I'd hardly call that a Manfrotto. It's a cheap consumer tripod that they slapped their name on. It's like calling the Porsche 914 a Porsche... Sure, it has the Porsche name on it, but it is no turbo 911. Or, like buying a canon $100 point and shoot and thinking it has anything to do with a 1Ds mkIII.
