Prima Photo Aluminum Monopod for $30 w/free S&H

Has anyone written this science fiction story yet? All the Tripods and Monopods become sentient at once and rebel against humanity, demanding proper care, not just thrown at the bottom of the trunk and pulled out only in case of photography-emergencies? 🙂

Which brings us to the Prima Photo Aluminum Monopod on sale for $30 with free shipping at B&H Photo, available in four different color schemes. This is a limited time sale, expiration date unknown (to me).

Speaking of storage-related items, Amazon itself offers this 128GB SanDisk CZ48 USB 3.0 Flash drive (model SDCZ48-128G-U46) for the very specific price of $24.31. This is not a lightning deal.

Speaking of Amazon, if you are close to the $25+/$49+ limits, $2 is all it takes to get the new condition “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” DVD. Not sure how they can afford to sell it for $2 and not even have a quantity-limit per customer. But what do I know? I’m just a blogflower 😉

Sigma APO Teleconverter 1.4x EX DG for $199 (C/N)
