AmazonBasics Cleaning Kit for DSLR Cameras for $3 [limit 10 sets]
If you always run out of cleaning supplies, or you want to have a full set in every bag, car and location, Amazon has a sale on their AmazonBasics Cleaning Kit for DSLR Cameras for the very specific price of $3.27. You can buy up to ten sets per customer.
Each set includes (the number below corresponds to the mouse-written red number in the picture):
- 50 sheets of lens cleaning tissue
- refillable spray bottle
- retractable two-sided cleaning pen with brush and pad
- lens brush (looks like a makeup brush)
- air blower
- three microfiber 6×7 inch cleaning cloths
This set averages 3.9 out of 5 based on 30 customer reviews.
This is however an ADD-ON ITEM, so you must needs place a $25+ order, otherwise the Amazon shopping cart will not let you buy it. You can get to $25+ with any combination of eligible products, a mix of Add-ON and not, or ADD-ON only, eg eight of these will get you to $25+.
For other low-priced Add-ON items to help you get over $25, check the $5 Gadget posts.
Another way to jump over $25 is to get the $28 AmazonBasics Flash. This is its regular price, not a sale price. It averages 3.9 out of 5 based on 88 customer reviews and it is currently the #1 seller in Shoe-Mounted Flashes.
PS: keep in mind, Amazon’s best selling lists are only as good as their categorization of products. The more products they add and the more 3rd-party sellers are allowed to create listings, the bigger the mess it becomes. This is one of the reasons I stopped doing the Best Seller Charts blogs since more and more cameras were missing and more miscategorized products were included.
50-Inch AmazonBasics Lightweight Tripod with Bag for $13
The AmazonBasics Amazon house brand has quietly amassed over 120 camera and photo products, some of which randomly (?) go on a recurring sale, such as the new condition 50-Inch AmazonBasics Lightweight Tripod with Bag on sale for $13~ with a limit of up to ten units per customer. Free 2-day shipping for Prime members, or with a $25+ order (eg two of these).
It is on the same listing as the 60-inch version. Together they average 4.4 out of 5 with over 7000 customer reviews. There is no way to get review average sub-scores for each model ~ short of counting and averaging them manually!
(ENDED) Monday: Sachtler Ace L Freddie Wong Edition Tripod System for $649; Etc
