Archives for June 2021

Monday is here, yes, today is Prime Day I of 2021, but first we have the new round of B&H Photo dailies good until 11:59pm ET tonite or earlier iff (if and only if) they sell out:

+ Sachtler Eargonizer Audio Bag (Large) for $129
+ is it Ear + Organizer or Ear + Agonizer? 😉
+ audio gear needs its own “Bag the Bags!”

+ EdelKrone Pan PRO for $399

+ me personally, I’m getting fitted with six more eyes 😉

+ Zhigyn Tech CRANE 2S Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer for $349

+ HP DreamColor Z24x G2 24″ 16:10 IPS Monitor for $279

+ not to be confused with ESPN’s Booya

+ IndiPro tools batteries, three options, $50 to $120

Nothing particularly exciting at Meh, Woot and Worst Buy so I’m not mentioning them today…
