Canon EOS C100 Mark II Cinema Camera
Canon has slashed the price of all of their C series cameras, including the very popular and very powerful C300. But for today's Deals, you might want to take a look at the C100 Mark II, which boasts a Super 35mm CMOS sensor, an ISO range of 320-102,400, and Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology. Keep in mind though, this is a 5-year-old cinema camera, so despite it still being relevant in 2019 (in my humble opinion), it may not have the features you're used to seeing, like 4K or 6K recording. You can get the Canon EOS C100 Mark II, along with a 17mm-55mm kit lens, right now for $3499, which is over half off its original retail price.
GoPro HERO 7 Black
If you're in the market for an action cam, the latest GoPro model, the HERO 7, packs a considerable punch as far as action cams go. It shoots 4K at 60fps and 1080 at 24 fps, has HyperSmooth image stabilization, and 8x Slow Mo. And you can get a GoPro HERO 7 Black now for a pretty decent bargain at $323, which is 19% off of its retail price.
Zhiyun Weebill Lab 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal (Master Package)
Everybody and their mom wants a handheld gimbal, right? But which one should you go with? If you want to save some money but avoid purchasing a total piece of junk, you might want to take a look at the Zhiyun Weebill Lab 3-axis handheld gimbal. It features a 6.6 lb. payload capacity, a latch design that makes it easier to balance, as well as multiple shooting modes. This deal is for the Master Package, which includes a plethora of gear for the Weebill, including extra batteries, cables, smartphone holder, mini monopod, a hard case, and a big ol' backpack to store all of your goodies in. Get the Zhiyun Weebill Lab Master Package for $569, a savings of $329.
