Weekend (B&H): Revo Slider, Thule x Macbook, etc

It’s FriYAY again which means the B&H daily deals run for 48 hours, until Saturday at 11:59pm ET. But this is a rather modestly modest quartet of offers, won’t cause many to excitedly jump out of bed to order them quickly 🙂

+ Dymo LabelWriter Value Pack for $30
+ label printer NOT included

+ Thule Gauntlet 3.0 13″ MacBook Pro Sleeve for $13

But that’s not all, they also feature separately the new condition Tamrac Stratus 10 shoulder bag for $85 with free US shipping and/or free store pickup where possible…

PS: speaking of deals, retailers often (ab)use the “Christmas in July” theme but once in a while a “Christmas in July” sale-a-bration is “Christmas canon” (as Comic Con canon-obsessed fans like to say). Such is the case with this Monoprice sale which is full of Christmas lights and ornaments and stockings and stocking stuffers 🙂

Thursday: Vello Battery Grip Sale (29 options, five manufacturers, $30 to $60)

And just like that, Thursday is here, and with it, it rings in a new set of B&H daily deals and with this set, we have a theme: Vello Battery Grips for a variety of cameras from five different manufacturers.

Wednesday action in the Amazon USA Gold Box, it’s another variant of the Computer Sale, this one featuring gaming HP desktops and laptops, along with Red Dragon keyboards and mice (I’m assuming that by now the internet decided that “mices” is the plural of “mice”, and “casted” is the past tense of “cast”) 🙂 A total of 14 computers and 8 keyboards/mice are participating in this sale…

Tuesday Lightning Deals: Moza Air 2, Action Cams, Neewer, Etc

Thunderbolt and lightning but no so very frightening for your wallet as Amazon has gotten way too big to be able to offer name-brand products are ridiculously low prices like it used to do back in the glory days of internet shopping. These days the lightning deals are more about modest discounts and not-famous manufacturers…

… which brings us to the Tuesday Camera and Photo Lightning Deals with the following potentially interesting items going live in the 24 hours (from the time of writing of this blog post):

Friday: 512GB Centon USB 3.0 Flash drive for $40, 1TB for $80

You can never have too many backups, no matter how tedious the process might be. One of the components of a backup strategy is using USB flash drives for temporary and shorter-term storage, eg until you get back home or at work to do proper backups. All this mumbling brings us to one of the Friday Woot daily deals running until 11:59pm central (or earlier if sold out), the 1TB Centon DataStick PRO (USB 3.0 of course) going for $80 or the 512GB going for $40.

The next wave of Tuesday daily deals is out and the headliner of the Best Buy dailies is the new condition Monument diskless personal cloud server for photos and videos for $130 averages 3.9 out of 5 based on 9 customer reviews, so mayhaps of interest to the boldly going explorers and reviewers… Also there, they have a 23″ IPS Acer full HD computer monitor (HDMI and VGA inputs) for $80 and it averages 4.7 out of 5 based on 1500+ customer reviews. It’s hard to complain about monitor prices at least at the entry-point tier 🙂

Meanwhile at the Amazon USA Gold Box, if you have fast-moving subjects, you may want to invest in some Asics Gel Venture 5 running shoes
for $48 in either Men or Women option… And if you get thirsty in your outdoors photography adventures, there’s a 12-pack of Liquid Death mountain water (and if the name doesn’t scare you away) for $18~… There’s also some TV/monitor mounts and stands from a marketplace brand for $21 to $38… And a 12pk of AmazonBasics K-Cups for $4 (33c per cup ~ compare with Starbucks)…

Off we go to Texas, where the Electronics daily deal at Woot-Landia is a sale of various Roku boxes and TVs starting at $100, while the “Computers” section has a $100 refurbished Lenovo Chromebook (116″ 1366×768 touchscreen, 4GB RAM, 16GB SSD, Intel N3060 dual core, bluetooth, etc).
