AmazonBasics Head Strap Camera Mount for GoPro for $5.48

AmazonBasicsa (AB) as an Amazon house brand continues to expand, even though Amazon has launched a variety of other house-brand brands as well Another one of the AB products is on sale, the new condition AmazonBasics Head Strap Camera Mount for GoPro for $5.48 with up to three per customer at the sale price.

Don’t tell the Amazon price bots, this is not an Add-On item, so Prime members get free 2-day shipping or you can get a $1 “no rush credit” if you select the slow shipping option. But if you have other in-progress Amazon orders, the slow-shipping items may hitch a ride with them, so “slow shipping” is a worse case scenario, not a guarantee. Non-Prime members need the usual $25+ limit for free shipping.

Speaking of AB products, they are offering their AmazonBasics Universal 65 Watt Ultrabook Charger with multiple tips for the laptop end of the AC Power Adapter for the very specific price of $12.16. Maximum five of these per customer.

Speaking of random sales, Walmart is offering the Westworld Season 1 in The Maze Limited Edition red set for $28. This is the 4K Ultra HD + BluRay + Digital combo with HDR. Compatible equipment needed for 4K viewing.

128GB Sandisk Extreme PRO UHS-I U3 V30 SDXC for $62 w/FS

A 3rd-party seller has triggered an automated price-match for the 128GB Sandisk Extreme PRO UHS-I U3 V30 SDXC card for $62 at Amazon by Amazon itself. This goes for $65 elsewhere. This is a small discount but these are very solid cards and Sandisk knows that, so they are not getting doorbuster discounts. To cut a long story short, if you happen to need to buy them now, it’s a good price. If not, you can always wait…

PS: it should go without saying, when buying memory cards at Amazon, make sure you check who the seller is, and also that you are getting the correct model. Some of the names are too confusing and can be easily mistaken. This card is a UHS-I, but if your camera does not support UHS-II cards, you can save big with UHS-I cards.

130+ product additions to KEH Camera

No weekend coupon at KEH Camera, but they have refilled their inventory with 130+ product additions. These are “newly arrived” but since most of the products they sell are used, I prefer to call them “product additions” so as not to confuse the speed-readers 🙂 No coupon. This is just an “inventory added” alert. There’s a variety of brands included (Leica, Zeiss, Olympus, Sony, Nikon, Fuji, etc), the link above shows them sorted by price from high to low but you can use the various settings on their website to look at things or mounts of interest.
