This Week’s Top Deals for Filmmakers – DJI Mavic 2 Pro, Sony a6500, Canon 5D Mark IV, Lenses and More

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 Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom – Up to $300 Discount

The current discounts are valid for both drones and both with or without the DJI Smart Controller.

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

The DJI Osmo Pocket is the smallest Osmo yet. It combines camera with a 3-axis gimbal and fits literally in the palm. The camera still offers up to 4K 60fps video recording. Make sure to watch and read our DJI Osmo Pocket review for more information.

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.

B&H: Rokinon 24, 35, 50, 85mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens Bundle – $750 Discount

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

Panasonic GH5

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.
