We're kicking off a new competition today, to win a Canon Deluxe 200 Tripod. A solid tripod is a vital piece of kit for any photographer, and this is a fantastic solution from Canon. Perfectly sized for a standard Digital SLR camera.

Winners Announced

I'm pleased to announce that we've picked the winner of the competition! Congratulations are in order to Chris R. for this comment. We'll be in touch soon to explain how to claim your prize!

About the Tripod

Some of the touted features include:

• Maximum height of 59.3 inches
• Ideal for medium-sized 35mm cameras, with up to a 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens attached
• 3-way panhead with quick release
• Built-in bubble level to even shots
• Flip locks for quick stability

How to Enter

This competition is sponsored by Energizer and National Geographic, and they are providing the prize. It's run in conjunction with their current photography competition. They have now collected all their entries, and you can vote for your favourite if you'd like to!

Entering our giveaway is really simple (it's completely seperate to the Energizer/National Geographic competition). All you need to do is leave a comment below! We’ll select the winning comment at random when the competition closes.

Make sure to include your correct email address with your comment so that we can contact you. The giveaway is only open to US residents. I'm really sorry about this, but it's out of our hands this time I'm afraid! Make sure to get your comment in before midnight on Sunday 12th September, Pacific Eastern Standard Time. We’ll be in touch with the lucky winner shortly after then, and this post will be updated to let you know who won!
