Once exciting deals for filmmakers appear, we try to share these with you guys. We have selected the best offers of filmmaking gear from our partners’ online shops for this week – including Zhiyun Tech Gimbal, SmallHD monitor, Hive Lighting LED light, Panasonic LUMIX S1H, and more. Watch out – the first deal expires today, on March 10th, 11:59 p.m. (EST time).
I went through the current deals on our partners’ websites and have selected the best offers currently available, which I think could be interesting for you. First, there are B&H offers listed for our readers based in North and South America, and then there are a couple of deals from our European partner CVP. By shopping at our partners’ stores, you are supporting cinema5D through our buy links, as we get a small affiliate commission when a purchase is completed.
Now, let’s take a look at this week’s top deals for filmmakers:
This little pouch from Tamrac is made from ripstop nylon and features a mesh window all around to see what’s inside quickly. I love having pouches like that in my camera bag to keep it beautiful and organized. I usually put cables, small accessories, wireless microphones and so on in these. It makes packing/storing my camera equipment a quick task, and I’m sure that I never miss something at home. Also, when you are traveling, they are convenient, and you never have enough of these. At this price, it’s a real bargain!
