YI 4K+ Sports Action Camera for $255

This is not a lightning deal, but an old fashioned sale. The new condition YI 4K+ Sports Action Camera, which supports RAW capture, is on sale for $255 with free shipping by YI’s own Amazon store, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so Prime members get free two-day shipping as usual.

UPDATE: optionally, under the “Special Offers” section over there, there are a couple of combined purchase discounts if you buy this together with some of its accessories. The coupon codes for each offer are shown over there.

Slik Lite CF-522 Carbon Fiber Tripod for $100 after $100 MIR (prepaid GC)

The Slik Lite CF-522 Carbon Fiber Tripod was on sale last week for $150 at Adorama. The bad news is that the price has now increased to $200. The good news is that this tripod has a $100 mail-in rebate on it, making it $100 after the $100 mail-in rebate.

The PDF link of the rebate form can be found at the product page. Per the PDF file, it runs for the whole month of November 2017, and it is maximum two per household for this promotional period. The $100 will be a prepaid VISA or Mastercard gift card.

The link to the PDF file is really small, here’s a screenshot highlighting it:

This is a five leg carbon fiber tripod. Per the PDF, the rebate only works for this specific model, and this rebate form is specific to Adorama, not other retailers.

FREE Canon PIXMA PRO 100 printer and photo paper with purchase of select Canon DSLRs, G-series, M6 mirrorless [after mail-in rebate]

If you are not afraid of mail-in rebates and prepaid American Express gift cards, Adorama has a new promotion for you! Select Canon camera bundles include the Canon Pixma PRO 100 printer and 50pk photo paper. After you receive them and file the mail-in rebate per directions, a few weeks later you will receive a $350 prepaid AMEX gift card by mail. This will counter the price of the printer/paper, thus making them free after mail-in rebate.

Eligible cameras for this promotion are the M6 mirrorless, a couple of G-series RAWsumers, various D-Rebel kits (T6, T6i, T6, T5i), various APS-C DSLR kits (80D, 7D II), and various 35mm full frame DSLR kits (5DS, 6D II, 6D, 5D IV).

For more Adorama action, check their Pre-Holiday Sales which include clearance items among the 3600+ options listed there. Obviously I can’t quickly “digest” these as I have yet to be absorbed by IBM’s Watson 🙂

5% off on select Zeiss Batis and Loxia lenses [Sony E]

Loxia lenses (lox not included) are the 21/2.8 for $1424, the 35/2.8 for $1234, the 50/2 for $899, and the 85/2.4 for $1329.

All these are Sony E-mount lenses. See them all at the Adorama Zeiss Savings page.

FREE to Watch: Photo Week 2017 re-airing at Creative LIVE

The Photo Week 2017 collection of 40 classes, five keynotes and five critique sessions is now re-airing FREE to watch at Creative LIVE until November 6 in 2017. Since this is a rebroadcast, it will loop through throughout the day. A new day should begin at 12pm ET every day.

If you like what you see, they have a promotional bundle for $200 that gets you all 40 classes, five critiques and five keynotes.

For all the classes currently airing for FREE, and planned to air for FREE in the next few days, check their ON-AIR Schedule.

AMEX Offers: Get $25 back on $250+ Best Buy purchases [must activate first]

If you think you are going to spend at least $250 until the end of the year at Best Buy (online and/or brick and mortar store) and you have an American Express account, when you login to your AMEX account online, check under the “AMEX Offers” section for this promotion. You get a one-time $25 statement credit you make a minimum of $250 in combined purchases at Best Buy’s website and/or brick and mortar store.

This doesn’t have to be a single transaction, small purchases can add up to that. Make sure you activate the offer first in your AMEX account before you start buying. Activation is simple, you just press the “Add to Card” button. The offer expires 12/31/17.

As usual with these offers, I don’t know if everyone is offered these, or the AMEX computers offer it so a subset of their customers based on what their AI and Humans Bots decide 🙂

Strategically, add this to your card if there is a possibility you might do this. The option to sign up usually leaves your account before the offer expires, so don’t wait until Christmas Eve to try to add it to your account 🙂
