For a very limited time and while supply last, B&H is offering some incredible deals on a large selection of products. From this long list of items, we picked those that might be interesting for you to consider! As a gentle reminder, by buying products from B&H found in this list, you are supporting our CineD site and we are very thankful for that! Most products fall under “a limited time offer” and end on June 23rd at 5:59 AM GMT+2. (Additional crazy deals can be found by clicking here)
Every now and then, our site partner B&H comes up with some amazing deals that are truly hard to resist, or at least, worth taking a look at. So, let’s take a look at this week’s highlights and don’t forget to share your comments with us in case you’ve already worked with any of these products.
This special camera deal is now back! Announced a year ago in June 2022, this camera is an upgraded version of the original 6K model. Having an adjustable LCD screen, longer battery life (now supports NP-F570 style battery), and support for an optional electronic viewfinder make this camera a better filming tool for some. As with the original model, it comes with a Super 35 sensor, EF lens mount, and mini XLR audio inputs. Internal BRAW and ProRes recording is of course supported too. The biggest difference between the BMPCC 6K G2 and the 6K Pro is the lack of built-in ND filters.
These UHS-II / V60 / U3 / Class 10 cards with a solid 128GB capacity (per card) and max. write speed of 180 MB/s and max. read speed of 270 MB/s are good enough for casual 4K recording but if you are into more demanding higher data rate recording, you might find the Lexar 128GB Professional 2000x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card more suitable for your work. (Max Read Speed: 300 MB/s, Max Write Speed: 260 MB/s). A 2-Pack of those cards is now sold for $169.99 after -a $160.00 Coupon discount
This Micro recorder and Lavalier microphone kit are one of our favorites. We have been using it for years, especially when traveling. It is the perfect “Throw in the Bag” piece of equipment. Actually, we travel with two of these in case we need to interview someone. There are many reasons to like this kit, but one feature is above all and I’m referring to the ability to record a “safety audio track”. (So one track is always lower in order to avoid potential clipping). This particular kit comes in white color which makes it perfect for wedding filmmakers!
If you are NOT after the latest and greatest, but still after good laptop performance for editing, this MacBookPro with M1 Max Chip might be a perfect companion for you. By the way, fancy a silver color? You can find it here.
Key Features:
Here is an Ultracompact lightweight, travel-friendly size V-mount battery from SmallRig. Looking at its specifications, it seems like a perfect traveling battery with additional external power outputs like USB-A, USB-C, D-Tap, fast DP charging, and more.
There is also a built-in OLED display that shows the remaining battery capacity and status.
This “clamp-on” Mini Matte Box Lite from SmallRig weighs only 3.8 oz and fits small mirrorless or DSLR cameras. It is made from durable but lightweight carbon fiber material, as well as plastic and aluminum components. It accepts multiple 4 x 5.65″ filters and comes with one filter tray and four adapter rings to attach the matte box to a variety of lenses. (The matte box features a 95mm diameter opening, and the included 67, 72, 77, and 82mm threaded adapter rings). The maximum load capacity of the matte box is 2.2 lb. A carbon fiber top flag is also included! A separately available adapter ring kit can be used for additional lens sizes, and it also accepts circular filters up to a 92.5mm diameter.
Designed for capturing raw 8K, 6K, and 4K video, the 2TB AV Pro CFexpress 2.0 Type B Memory Card from Angelbird provides read speeds of up to 1700 MB/s, and write speeds of up to 1500 MB/s.

The Sirui 50mm f/1.8 Anamorphic 1.33x Lens, with an E-mount, is designed for APS-C cameras. In fact, back in the day, we tested the X-mount version of it. You can read and see our review here.
The Ace M System Black Edition from Sachtler combines the Ace M fluid head with a 75mm bowl, a two-stage aluminum tripod, and a mid-level spreader. Designed for digital cine-style cameras, the Ace M Black Edition supports rigs weighing up to 8.8 pounds. This system is suitable for larger DSLR and mirrorless cameras, as well as pro-style cine cameras.
