Waiting in line on Black Friday has become a national holiday, but the truth is that some of the best deals are online.
Though many of these deals are for Friday only at major retailers in-store, if you're online, plenty last through the end of the month or at least through the weekend. We've assembled a list of 15 of the best deals, but you can find a whole list of great stuff besides cameras, lenses, and rigs here. In addition, companies like Convergent Design (Save $200 on Odyssey RAW), Redrock, Zacuto, Rhino, FilmConvert, Ditogear, and SmallHD (in addition to many others), have some great sales for Black Friday.

Seems like a great product you have there. Its expensive for smaller productions companies though. Im just starting up and doing a lot on my own, occasionally 3-4 person projects, I would like to pay 20/30 euro's for a product like this. But 80 is just too much...
Im not a student though. Maybe an idea for another pricing plan?

My best BF/CM deals so far have been:
Panasonic GH3 $497 (B&H)
Panasonic DMC-CM1 20 mp smartphone $379 (was $1000 -- B&H)
Canon EOS M3 with Canon electronic viewfinder $447 (B&H)
3DR Solo with gimbal $1099 (B&H)
Go Pro Hero 4 Black $349
Depending on your budget and whether 1080P or 4K is your desired raster, there have been TONS of low-buck options. Just sayin'
Samsung NX1 body $1099
