This Week’s Top 10 Deals for Filmmakers – Z Cam, Canon DSLRs, MacBook

This Week's Top 10 Deals for Filmmakers – Z Cam, Canon DSLRs, MacBook

There are lots of interesting deals for filmmakers available online. We selected the best 10 offers of filmmaking gear from our partners’ online shops for this week. Including Canon DSLRs, Z CAM E1, LED lights and gimbals. 

I went through the current deals on our partners’ websites and I selected the op 10 offers currently available which I think could be interesting for our audience. First I listed B&H offers for our readers based in the US and then a couple of deals from our European partner CVP. You are supporting cinema5D by buying on B&H and CVP through our links because we get a tiny affiliate share. Let’s take a look at the offers.

B&H: Z CAM E1 Mini 4K Camera with MFT Mount

This tiny little camera was actually the smallest camera with an MFT mount in the world when it was introduced. It has a 16MP CMOS Sensor, Micro Four Thirds lens mount and it Records 4K, UHD and 1080p video. It has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for Remote Control, Autofocus (Single, Continuous, and Zone Autofocus) and a lightweight Magnesium Housing. There is a significant price drop currently with this camera, so it might be an interesting option for aerial use or as a B- or C-cam.

The company, by the way, introduced the second generation at this year’s NAB which has very promising specs.
