Special Deals

by Jakub HanJanuary 23^rd, 2020

There are a couple of new, interesting deals for filmmakers available. We have selected the best offers of filmmaking gear from our partners’ online shops for this week – including DJI Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom drones, Sony a6500, Canon 5D Mark IV, DJI Osmo Action and Osmo Pocket, cine lenses and more.

I went through the current deals on our partners’ websites and have selected the best offers currently available, which I think could be interesting for you. First, there are B&H offers listed for our readers based in North and South America, and then there are a couple of deals from our European partner CVP. By shopping at our partners’ stores, you are supporting cinema5D through our buy links, as we get a small affiliate commission when a purchase is completed.

Now, let’s take a look at this week’s top deals for filmmakers:

B&H: DJI Osmo Action – $100 Discount

The DJI Osmo Action is still a relatively new product and it is the most serious contender to the GoPro. It is a very capable action camera with 4K 60fps video recording and brilliant stabilization. Even better then Hero7 Black’s HyperSmooth – here is our comparison of these two cameras. Make sure to also watch our Osmo Action review.

B&H: DJI Osmo Pocket – $50 Discount

B&H also gives away free PGYTECH Mini Carrying Case worth $24.90 with every DJI Osmo Pocket.

B&H: Zhiyun-Tech CRANE-M2 Gimbal – $70 Discount

The Crane-M2 is a new very compact gimbal from Zhiyun-Tech. Its size can be compared with smartphone gimbals, but it can carry payload of up to 1.58 lb. It will carry even a lightweight APS-C mirrorless body (like Sony a6000 series or FUJIFILM X-T3) when used with a lightweight lens.

This very fast manual focus lens covers full-frame sensors. It offers 86mm front filter thread and the aperture can be set between f/1.2 and f/16. The lens is quite heavy and bulky hence the build quality should be good.

CVP: Panasonic LUMIX GH5 Camera Body – €55 Discount Plus Trade-In Bonus, Free 3-Year Warranty

The Panasonic GH5 is a mirrorless camera with Micro Four Thirds mount and sensor. It offers a variety of useful tools for filmmakers, like 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 video and In-Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS). With the new retail price, it is a very nice deal in my opinion.
