Summer Deals Round-Up – Best Deals on Gear

Special Deals

by Olaf von VossJuly 12^th, 2022

Summer is upon us, and that means many projects are in full swing as we speak. Perhaps this is a good time to do a little upgrading, replace old equipment and get some shiny new gear for real-world projects. Here, we try to list some of the best summer deals we could find from our trusted partner B&H. Also worth noting, MZed is also offering a terrific summer deal!

If you need a particular piece of equipment, you should just buy it, end of story. Don’t wait for “Black Friday”, don’t check thousands of price comparison websites, but phone the retailer you trust and get what you need for the job.

On the flip side, if you come across some crazy deals (which is why you’re reading this article, perhaps?) but don’t actually need new equipment, you should at least think about it once before you buy something that may be sitting in the corner before you know it because it wasn’t really necessary in the first place.

However, if you need new equipment and at the same time a lot of good deals are circulating: Lucky you, you’ve come to the right place! We’ve rounded up some of the best deals we could find at B&H, our longtime partner. So, without further ado, let’s jump right in!

First, be sure to check out our MZed “Secret” Summer Deal. With the code provided, you’ll get a full year’s worth of educational content for just $199 as part of an MZed Pro subscription.
