2018 Black Friday Deals for Filmmakers and Photographers

Yes, I know it is this time of the year again, so I apologize in advance. By now most of you have already been subjected to plenty of email blasts and exclusive “Black Friday” offers, but is it me or is this year not as bad a last year in terms of “spammage“? Are Black Friday Deals still a thing? Not sure, but this time of year you can usually get some juicy deals on kit you’ve been lusting over for some time, so as to make it easier for you I’ve searched high and low for the last couple of days to summarize some of the best 2018 Black Frida Deals for filmmakers and photographers.

Some of these are reseller/dealer/manufacturer specific, others not so. Some deals end soon, others fall under the banner of “Holiday Deals”, which means they may stay until Christmas or similar, nonetheless I will do my best to denote such end date for deals wherever I can.

Instead of having to sift through hundreds of emails, tweets and Facebook posts, I have done the dirty work for you and included, what I consider applicable deals for those of you shooting video or taking photographs either as highly skilled enthusiasts, buddying photographers/filmmakers, or paid professionals. In either case, there are quite a few so let’s get going.
