Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Adorama has a couple of 3Pod specials on sale with free expedited shipping as follows:
+ 3Pod P5ARH 5-Section Aluminumn Compact Reversable Travel Tripod with K3 BallHead for $100
+ 3Pod PM3A Aluminum 4-Section Monopod (max height 69″) for $70
+ yes, the irony of a Mono-pod with a brand name 3-Pod is not lost on me 🙂
UPDATE: One more 3Pod item from Adorama, the 3Pod H5 Ball Head with Quick Release Plate is on sale for $80 with free expedited shipping.
The Olympus USA Outlet store has received more supplies and sales for their refurbished Olympus cameras and lenses. Among the headliners of the refurbished sale is E-M10 body for $360 or w/14-42 for $400, the 12-40/2.8 for $640, the E-M1 for $960, and more. A total of 31 items are part of this sale. Their refurbished items come with a 90-day warranty.
Separately, the Olympus store has a 30% off sale on 4-year extended warranty for cameras or lenses, but as of the time of writing, the price is not discounted after you add it to the shopping cart. I don’t know if there’s a glitch or a magic coupon code is needed. The aforelinked page says “in-cart savings”. Maybe the discount appears at the very last step before paying?
For the DSLR audio crowd, Adorama has created a bundle, for $230 with free expedited shipping, you can get together, without coupons, without rebates, both the Tascam DR-60D MKII Portable Recorder for DSLR _AND_ the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones. Offer ends by 11/10/15.
The 2-pack of 64GB Lexar Professional 1066x CompactFlash memory cards is on sale for $160 with free shipping at B&H Photo and Amazon by Amazon herself (limit 20). This is model name LCF64GCRBNA10662, UDMA7.
CORRECTION: the price is $160, not $150.
The Opteka 6.5mm f3.5 HD Aspherical Fisheye with removable hood is one of the featured eBay Deals for $150, but you can actually get it for even less, $140 with free shipping by 47th Street fulfilled by Amazon, so it gets Prime shipping, and you deal with Amazon’s customer service in case of questions or problems. The $140 price is for the Canon and Sony-Minolta-Dyxum-Alpha. The others go for $150+.
I missed this in the previous Flashpoint round-up, here comes another offer from Adorama. The Flashpoint Ring Li-On 400ws Ringflash is currently on sale for $400 with free expedited shipping.
Adorama is offering the Glow Portable 5 in 1 Reflector Kit for $20 to $25 with free shipping. The 22″ set goes for $20, the 32″ set goes for $22, and the 42″ set goes for $25. The fourth item in the aforelinked page is not a 5-in-1.
UPDATE: to “save” on extra posts, Adorama also has a sale on six different Glow Portable Softboxes with prices ranging from $100 to $190 (depending on size and features), with free shipping (all but one get free expedited shipping).
The action continues at the eBay Deals with more storage for your RAW-mega-pixels. With 1TB HDDs having a market price $50 or less “buy it now” price, the 2TB models seem to be settling at a $70 or less market price. As such, Adorama’s eBay store is offering the new condition 2TB WD Elements Portable External Hard Drive (USB 3.0, USB powered) for $66 with free shipping, with a limit of five per customer.
PS: there’s also some grey-market/imported dSLRs from some of the B-list eBay Deals sellers. I’m trying to triangulate what to do with those type of deals. People are buying them per the eBay product listing statistics, but how many of the people who buy them are aware of the warranty trade-offs and risks?
If you are part of the instant film printing renaissance, the Fujifilm Instax SHARE SP1 Smartphone Printer is on sale for $138 with free shipping at MacMall.com and B&H Photo and Amazon itself.
From a $2 item, we now jump all the way to $900, that will get you the Gitzo Series 2 GK2580TQD Traveler Carbon Fiber Tripod with Series 2 Traveler Center Ball Head from B&H Photo with free expedited shipping.
And now something from the “$5 Gadget” department. If you have old (and I really mean old) Sony gear that takes MemoryStick Pro Duo memory cards, A4C (All4Cellular) is offering 2GB Sandisk Memory Stick Pro Duo Memory Cards for $1.95 with free shipping. Free shipping even if you buy just one. You can buy as many as you like. They ship from New York.
PS: A4C is one of a few retailers out there that has free shipping for everything in their store. Faster shipping options (eg Priority mail) costs extra.

The Nikon D7100 body only is offered in factory refurbished condition for $580 with free shipping at Cameta Camera with a one year Cameta warranty… If you happen to need accessories as well, they have a variety of bundles over there (look on the right side under “Popular Kits”)…
This post is code-named “The Monopods Strike Back!”. The Gitzo GM2561T Traveler 6x Carbon Fiber Monopod (supports up to 10~ lbs) is currently on sale for $230 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo.
The Interfit EZ-FLO Fluorescent 2 Light Kit is currently on sale for $175 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo. Free expedited shipping is nice since lighting kits are not exactly memory-card sized 🙂
The Induro Alloy 8M AT013 Tripod is currently on sale for $66 with free standard shipping at B&H Photo… This item is not eligible for free expedited shipping.
B&H Photo has a sale on Hasselblad E-mount lenses. Some are lens-only, some come bundled with either a black or brown bag. Check each individual listing for details and options. A total of seven options are there, for the 16mm f2.8 and 16-70/4 and 18-200/3.5-6.3 OSS lenses.
On the storing those megapixels and RAWpixels front, the 1TB portable hard drives are settling at a $50 price at various places, but if you want more (and a better GB/c grocery-store-style price), the bigger capacities win. Case in point, the 5TB Seagate Expansion External USB 3.0 Hard Drive is on sale for $136 with free shipping, at Amazon by Amazon itself, with a limit of 10 per customer… Thanks to one of our readers for the alert… Alternately, the 4TB model goes for $120 (limit 10 as well)…
More discounting action, the Lowepro Edit 100 camera bag is down from $10 to $7 with free shipping at Adorama. There are many pictures of it over there, use the gallery arrow keys over there to see pictures of the insides of the bag… For more bag action, check yesterday’s Bag the Bags round-up…
If you are a fan of Monoprice products (be it accessories or their ever-increasing “real products” including computer monitors and such), coupon code OCT15 gets you 15% off at the Monoprice website. This applies to Monoprice-branded products, which is the vast majority of what they carry.
Featured items are shown on that page, or you can use the search box or navigate to the various camera and photo related categories.
Coupon is good for Tuesday October 27 (2015) only, in the pacific time zone since Monoprice is Southern California based but they also have a new warehouse facility in Kentucky to help with faster deliveries to the East Coast. The usual coupon restrictions apply (not good on Tamron lenses, not good for their 3D printer, and not for manufacturers that prohibit retailers from coupon discounting, etc).
Their website is redesigned again, so some parts may look different since the last time you may have visited. Some zipcodes may qualify for $7 Next Business Day flat-rate delivery, but not all of them (I can’t try hundreds of zipcodes). Nevertheless, having a shipping fee moving target is kinda frustrating to a shopper. The internets have shown that they prefer a predictable shipping fee, preferably free for all (eg the eBay Daily Deals), but if not, a fixed threshold (eg Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Groupon, etc) so you can plan ahead and such.
The Sony NEX-FS100U Super 35mm video camera body only (takes E-mount lenses) is now down to $1600 with free expedited shipping at Adorama.
While on the topic of video, also at Adorama, in-stock and ready to ship it is (obligatory Yoda-ish which I’m sure will be overly-done world-wide in the next few months) the Panasonic AG-DVX200 Camcorder for $4200. This has a 13x Leica optical zoom fixed lens.
The AmazonBasics brand continues to expand with even more items. Now in-stock and shipping for GoPro users is the AmazonBasics GoPro Tripod Mount going for $6.50 with a limit of 30 per customer. Unfortunately it is part of the Add-On program, so regardless of Prime-membership, you need to place a $25+ order, otherwise the shopping cart will Mutombo (v) any attempts at completing the purchase.
But there are some easy ways to get to $25+ (Prime order threshold) or $35+ (free S&H for non-Prime), including this 200x (slower) 32GB Lexar SDHC w/Memory Card Wallet for $10 or some discounted camera bags (page down to the “Camera Bag Survivors” segment and look for Amazon as the seller or shipper). [I need to do another “Add-On” round-up since the previous one got stale – since items come and go and prices and Add-On status changes, sometimes often]
This post rounds up a number of blog-related updates, to keep you abreast of what’s going on. Here we geaux:
+ a new Camera Price Charts feature will begin shortly (the last time we did this was December 2014)
+ already updated the Trade Show Calendar with the 2016 trade shows (a couple more dropped out or merged)
+ an easy to find and easy to use “Shop and Support” feature is coming soon. This was (to my surprise perhaps) requested by multiple people since it went away during one of the previous blog template incarnations/remodelings (more on that later)
+ you may have already seen an increase in blog-post productivity (more posts and some longer posts) thanks to the new blog-computer. Previously, the old computer couldn’t keep up with me, and it made posting rather frustrating at times. Now I can’t keep up with the new computer – which makes me feel old(er). You can’t win 🙂
+ as we are really now orbiting Planet Black Friday, if there are any items or product categories you are interested in, please let me know (so I can keep an extra eye on them) using the online contact form or leave a comment or twitterize
If you don’t need a blazing fast SDHC card and you could use a memory card wallet, there’s a pretty good bundle going on. The 32GB Lexar 200X Premium Series SDHC UHS-1 Class 10 memory card is bundled with a Polaroid memory card wallet (judging by the pictures it holds three memory cards) for $10. The seller is Ritz Camera with the order fulfilled by Amazon.com, so if you are a Prime member, you get free 2-day shipping even if you buy just one card. Non-Prime members get the usual free super-saver-shipping with a $35+ order. Limit 30 per customer.
This shares the same reviews pool with another bundle, but when you filter it for this only, it looks like it has all 22 of the 22 reviews, which average 4.8 out of 5.
