And just like that, the time has come to recycle my “Thirst-DAY” joke! This round of B&H Photo dailies is good until Thursday 7/29/21 at 11:59pm ET {or earlier IFF (= if and only if) sold-out}:

+ Metz megablitz digital flashes, 6 options, $70 to $170
+ options for Canon, Oly-Pan-Lei, Pentax, Samsung A-TTL
+ a rare win for Pentax, three of the six options are for Pentax P-TTL
+ fun fact: contrary to popular belief, PenTax does not want to tax pens. So all you anti-taxers out there, please feel free to buy Pentax camera gear 🙂

+ CamBee VL30B 30W Video LED Light for $89

+ GVM GT-120WD Wireless Bluetooth Carbon Fiber Motorized Camera Slider (47″) for $339
+ not to be confused with baseball sliders 😉

+ FeelWorld 7″ 4K Ultra-Bright Monitor with Loop-Through HDMI for $180
+ is it me or does the brand name “FeelWorld” sound like a Depeche Mode coverband? 🙂

+ Delkin Fat Gecko Triple Mount for $60
+ politically correct name: Delkin Festively Plump Gecko

It feels like it was yesterday when I was recycling the “Hump Day” joke, and yet, it’s Wednesday once again! It looks like the Time Lords have put our timeline on Fast Forward 🙂

We start with a party! It’s another Meh-rathon day at the Meh website. In addition to the currently featured sale, you can also purchase previous Meh-rathon offers [that have not sold-out] by following the links over there…

B&H Photo is back with another 6-pack of daily deals, good until 11:59pm ET (or earlier IFF sold-out):

+ FIMI X8 Mini 3-Axis 4K Foldable Drone for $319
