For this year’s Black Friday, Accsoon is running many deals on a wide range of their products, allowing you to save 20% off their TopRig S40 and S60 video sliders, multiple CineView wireless video systems, the SeeMo HDMI iOS adapter, and the Accsoon PowerCage II and Pro II. So, let’s take a closer look at these deals that start today, November 16th!
Chinese manufacturer Accsoon has been designing and manufacturing wireless video systems since 2014. The company gained recognition for its budget-friendly solutions and stepped up its game last year with the Accsoon SeeMo, which was the first HDMI-to-smartphone adapter. The SeeMo is an interesting device that allows you to use your smartphone as an on-camera monitor.
If you want to add Accsoon gear to your camera kit, the company currently has a Black Friday sale on many of its products.
Last month, Accsoon entered a new market by introducing their first video sliders: the TopRig S40 and S60.
These compact, motorized sliders are available in two sizes, 41cm/16.1in for the TopRig S40 and 61cm/24in for the TopRig S60, and they can take decent payloads: 4kg/8.81lbs horizontally and 2.5kg/5.51lbs vertically.
The sliders have built-in controls, and the translation speed can be adjusted from 0.1cm/s to 5cm/s. Also, they feature a built-in parallax mechanism.
While both sliders came out with an attractive price tag of $349 for the Accsoon TopRig S40 and $399 for the S60, you can save an extra 20% during this year’s Black Friday. If you do the math, the TopRig S40 will retail for only $279, and the TopRig S60 will come down to just $319.
The CineView is Accsoon’s “prosumer” lineup of compact wireless video systems and consists of the CineView Quad, CineView HE, and CineView SE.
The CineView HE is an HDMI-only system with a 350m/1200ft transmission range and a USB-C UVC output for live streaming. During Black Friday, you can benefit from a 20% rebate, which brings it to $399.
The CineView SE has the same 350m/1200ft range as its HE little brother, but it has SDI input and output ports. This model also has a 20% discount, which brings it to $519.
Lastly, the cost-effective CineView Quad has both HDMI and SDI video inputs but no video output loopout on the transmitter. Also, it has a lower transmission range of 150m/500ft, but it has a compact design thanks to its foldable antennas and a sweet spot price of $423 with the 20% discount applied.
The SeeMo HDMI adapter is a compact accessory that attaches to the top of your camera and transforms your camera’s HDMI output signal to an iOS/Android compatible video output. The SeeMo HDMI can be powered via a Sony NP-F battery or USB-C. If you missed it and want to learn more, make sure to take a look at our in-depth review here.
The Accsoon SeeMo HDMI will come down to $143 during Black Friday.
Last but not least, if you need a handy cage to turn your iPad onto a director’s monitor, you can save 20% on the Accsoon iPad Powercage II and Powercage Pro II launched earlier this year.
Both cages are made from aluminum. The PowerCage II is compatible with the iPad Gen 5 – 10, the iPad Air Gen 3 – 5, and the iPad Pro 9.7 inch, 10.5 inches, and 11 inches generation 1 to 4, while the Accsoon PowerCage Pro II is compatible with the iPad Pro 12.9 inch generation 3 to 6.
The cages feature multiple 1/4″-20 mounting points and two cold shoe mounting points. The cages come with the ACC04 Sony NP-F-style battery adapter. Also, both cages are compatible with the SeeMo HDMI adapter so you can turn your iPad into a large HDMI monitor/recorder.
During Black Friday, the Accsoon PowerCage II comes down to $103 and $111 for the PowerCage Pro II.
