For a limited time, you can purchase the Nikon D750 in a kit that includes a Vanguard tripod and pan head and save yourself a cool $500.
Aputure AL-M9 Amaran LED Light
If you don't have an Aputure AL-M9 Amaran LED Light in your kit, you're missing out. This little guy has a bunch of features: 900lux, 9-step brightness adjustment, 1.75-hour runtime at max brightness, diffusion, CT0, and CTB filters, 1/4" -20 and cold shoe adapter, and high-efficiency bulbs. $6 may not be the biggest discount in the world, but saving any money on such a staple of lighting is good enough for us.
Sachtler Ace XL Tripod System with SC003 Bag
The Sachtler Ace XL tripod system may be lightweight with its carbon fiber construction, but it was built with cine-style cameras in mind, like the Blackmagic Ursa Mini Pro, Canon C-series, and the Sony FS7. Right now, you can buy the Sachtler Ace XL Tripod System and get an SC003 camera bag for free. That's $159.99 in "accessory savings."
Rokinon 50mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens for Canon EF Mount
If you're looking for a fast manual focus prime lens, you might want to check out the Rokinon 50mm T1.5 Cine DS lens. Optimized for cinema and video, it features a fast T1.5 aperture and an 8-blade iris, which is great for low light situations, shallow depth-of-field, and beautiful bokeh. It usually retails for $549, but you can get it now for $419.
