eBay and Drones Combo Round-Up: DJI Mavic PRO, Yuneec, Osmo, Gift Cards, ASUS 3X Zoom, Etc

This post morphed into a combo round-up of things on eBay and drone/stabilizery things 🙂

I am now using the broad “Other Cameras” category to mark all non-camera cameras. Meaning action cameras, cameraphones/smartphones, 360 cameras, VR, drones, lifestyle cameras, etc.

Which brings us to the eBay Deals where eBay seller “Drone Superstore” (98.8%, New York) is offering the manufacturer refurbished DJI Mavic PRO Drone with 4K HD Camera for $669 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty. Maximum five per customer.

Speaking of camera drones, good until Tuesday at 1am ET woot is offering the factory reconditioned Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K Quadcopter with a case and a second battery for $380 or $400 (different case options). Shipping is free for Prime or $5 flat. Maximum ten per customer.

Speaking of DJI, their official eBay store is offering the new condition DJI Osmo Handheld Gimbal System with X3 Camera + 2 Free Batteries for $300 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty. Maximum five bundles per customer.

While we are on eBay, if you have a soft spot for Android smartphones with an actual (internal) 3X zoom lens, the new condition ASUS ZenFone Zoom ZX551ML with 128GB on-board storage and 4GB RAM goes for $159 with free shipping and a 1-year ASUS USA warranty. Note that this is an older device despite the 4GB/128GB specs.

And speaking of eBay, there are a number of gift card offers in progress:

+ Pay $200, Get $220 LOWES e-Gift Card by e-mail from PayPal Digital Gifts (maximum five)

+ Pay $88, Get $100 GROUPON e-Gift Card by e-mail from PayPal Digital Gifts (maximum five)

+ Pay $80, Get $100 CABELLA plastic Gift Card by mail with free shipping from SVW Gift Cards (Illinois; maximum three)

Huawei Mate 10 PRO (dual Leica camera) drops to $700

The new condition, factory unlocked, with USA warranty Huawei Mate 10 PRO with its dual Leica camera on the back is now down to $700 with free shipping by Amazon itself (maximum four per color per customer) and at B&H Photo.

Note that a number of three-letter US security agencies have issued a warning against Huawei and ZTE devices, so it’s up to you to decide, especially if you are working on things that you wouldn’t want potentially falling into the hands of China. Others argue that this is politics and lobbying by Huawei’s competitors. We blog, you decide!

Imported Nikon D850 body only drops to $3180

An update of the Stock Status Tracker finds a big discount on the new condition imported grey-market Nikon D850 body only, now going for $3180 with free shipping by the 6ave eBay store. A maximum of five per eBay user at this price. It comes with a 1-year warranty from the seller 6ave (not Nikon USA)… The price at authorized Nikon USA dealers is $3300…

Meanwhile the number of classic auction-style listings by individuals are increasing. You can find them in the eBay search results. The one we previously mentioned already got close to $3300 and it still has 30+ hours to go.

Pre-order new HTC Vive PRO for $799 (non-PRO drops to $499)

If you are a boldly going early adopter of this decade’s attempts at VR technology, Amazon itself is now accepting pre-orders for the HTC VIVE Pro Virtual Reality Headset for $799 with an April 5 release estimate. Maximum of up to three units pre-ordered per customer at the moment.

Meanwhile the previous non-PRO models, the HTC VIVE Virtual Reality System is down to $500 with free shipping by Amazon itself. Also maximum of up to three per customer at the sale price.

CreativeLIVE Flash Sale: 49 classes for $49 each

Flash sales, like flash rain, are all the rage in March it seems. CreativeLIVE is back with what they call a Mystery Flash Sale, 49 classes for $49 each. As usual, no coupon is needed, the price you see on the individual class page is the price you pay. This is a limited time offer.

The classes cover a variety of topics, from shooting, lighting, post-processing, and verticals (outdoor photography, family photography, sports, portraits, etc) and meta (“Pricing and Sales for Photographers”, etc). The best class name of the lot perhaps is “Conquering Crappy Light”. 10 out of 10 on the name 🙂

PS: for free-to-watch classes, check their ON-AIR SCHEDULE page…
