We have selected the best offers of filmmaking gear from our partners’ online shops for this week – including Zhiyun Tech Gimbal, SmallHD monitor, Hive Lighting LED light, Panasonic LUMIX S1H, and more. Watch out – the first deal expires today, on March 10th, 11:59 p.m. (EST time).

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.
