Fotopro Camera Bags for $30 and Tripod/Monopod sale too

It’s all Fotopro branded products at the latest Adorama daily deals (changes Monday 10am ET), and it’s a bit of a West Side Story, TRIPODS vs CAMERA BAGS! That’s right, there’s two of each on sale 🙂

+ Fotopro S3 Patriot tripod with ballhead for $50

+ Fotopro AK-64K iSpeedy monopod for $90

+ Fotopro Trekker backpack for $30

+ Fotopro Vespa Messenger for $30
+ Vespa motorcycle NOT included ~ unless you put a Matchbox/HotWheels version of it inside yourself 😉

Sunday: Best Buy’s Nikon Z50 2-Lens Kit matched with different accessories elsewhere

The headliner of the Sunday 11/1/20 Best Buy daily deals is a Nikon Z50 two lens kit with a freebie for $1100. The two lenses are the Z 16-50mm f3.5-6.3 DX VR and the Z 50-250mm f4.5-6.3 DX VR. Thankfully Nikon gave them slightly different focal lengths from their parallel DSLR models.

The freebie is the Sunpak 12″ Bi-Color Tabletop Vlogging Kit which has a Best Buy valued price of $50 and includes a 12″ USB-powered bi-color ring-light, a flexible smartphone mount, a mini ball head (up to 4.5 lbs, aka ~2 kilos) and a bluetooth remote for iOS/Android…

BUT the $1100 price is also available at other authorized Nikon retailers with a different set of freebies…

At Adorama’s listings the freebies include a 32GB Sandisk Extreme PRO SDHC, Slinger shoulder bag, a filter kit for each lens (46mm and 62mm), card wallet, cleaning kit, and a Corel software kit in your choice of PC or Mac that includes seven titles…

Optionally, you can click on the “Special Offer” bundle and add the Nikon FTZ mount adapter (Nikon F lenses to Z bodies ~ obviously) for +$47…

At B&H Photo’s listings the freebies are a 64GB Sandisk Extreme PRO SDXC, a RJ shoulder bag, a 62mm UV filter (with a limited 10 year warranty) and a Zeiss-branded lens care kit…

Fascinating how the two top camera makers managed to have four different iLC camera systems each 🙂

Sunday: Case Logic Viso DSLR/mirrorless bag for $30

One of the Best Buy daily deals for Sunday 11/1/20 [remember to set your non-automated clocks to “fall back”] is the new condition Case Logic Viso DSLR/mirrorless bag for $30. The Viso name may confuse some with “Visor” but it’s really a camrea bag 🙂

Also part of the sale are Insignia (house brand) single-use batteries in various packs and an Anker 3-slot car charger for $15…

For today only, Touch of Modern (ToM) offers 20% back as store credit for you on purchases you make. ToM is a membership site (free and easy to join), so they can offer products below MAP and such. You can’t see the products unless you login. Unfortunately I don’t have my password on this computer, so I can’t check their current inventory…

Last but not least at the Amazon Holiday Dash they have yet another Anker sale (powerbanks, cables, etc) and for coffee machine fans, they have a couple of Nespresso with Milk Frother and Capsules kits for $120. Some argue that Nespresso is a step above Keurig. Personally I only used generic Keurig K-cup machines (when the pourover hipsters were not monitoring me), so I can’t compare 😉
