There are a couple of new, interesting deals for filmmakers available. We selected the best offers of filmmaking gear from our partners’ online shops for this week – including Apple Mac Pro, Teradek Bolt 1000, Manfrotto tripod, SmallHD monitor, underwater drone, Zhiyun-Tech gimbals and more. Watch out – first four deals expire today, on February 20th, 11:59 p.m.

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.
