by 2 Comments

That time of year is upon us once again. America’s stuffing itself with Turkey, and the traditionally American annual sale that’s now gone global is here. Oh yes, that’s right, it’s Black Friday! As always, there are plenty of great deals out there to be had for photographers and filmmakers who want to save some money or perhaps for some of us to find the perfect holiday gift for the camera geek in our lives!

Black Friday deals have started a little early this year (feels like it’s now a week-long thing), so our post is also a little early.

DEAL ALERT: IndiPRO Universal Power Grip, Cage & Charger for 47% off for 24 hours

by Leave a Comment

If you are a long time reader of the blog, you know that we are very interested in power solutions. This is why I wanted to share this IndiPRO deal with you. It has the Universal Power Grip (video review above), a half-cage and a DTAP charger. I think it is well worth the $475.00 list price, but at $249.95 it’s an absolute steal.

DEAL ALERT: LITRA LitraTorch 2.0 Light is selling for almost 50% off

If you’ve been following the blog, you know we are big fans of the Litra Torch, so we are happy to share that you can now get it for almost 50% off.

If you are unfamiliar with the light, it’s a tiny light (think GoPro session size), which has a very long throw and an incredibly bright beam. You can think about it as a mini flashlight. The cool thing though, is that it is daylight balanced and has a CRI of 90 (not as good as the “standard 95, but good enough for most still and video uses). You can check a short review we did at the bottom of the post.

This light usually sells for $89.95, but right now, B&H is selling it for $49.95; this is almost a two for one deal.

The only caveat is that this is not the “standard” version, but a drone version, so the magnet on the back of the light has been removed, so to not interfere with the GPS. It is still a great bargain if you are looking for this type of action light.

Although DJI might be pushing the new Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom drones, the original DJI Mavic Pro is still a very competent drone, and still very popular. Many have stuck with the Mavic Pro despite the newer releases, and many are still looking to buy one, hoping to catch those deals.

Well, here’s a deal for you. B&H has the DJI Mavic Pro Fly More Combo on sale today for only $869. That’s $430 off the regular $1,299 price.
