Amazon Prime Day Starts on Monday July 15th. Here’s What to Expect

Posted July 11, 2019 at 9:01 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 3 comments.

This year’s Amazon “Prime Day” will start on Monday, July 15th! The deals start at 3 AM ET on Monday July 15th and run until 3 AM ET on Wednesday July 17th. Amazon’s Prime Day will have many exciting deals, many restricted to Amazon Prime members only. Just like the previous four years, CanonPriceWatch will be watching all the deals.

Don’t expect deals on Canon cameras or lenses on Prime Day. Canon items are restricted by a MAP year-round and Prime Day is no exception. You can browse last year’s live-updating post or our archive of Prime Day related posts for examples of what was available. We expect to see great prices on memory cards, filters, bags, Rokinon lenses, color calibration, studio equipment, and perhaps a 3rd party lens or two. Deals sell out quickly, so be prepared to jump on them (or waitlist). It is also a perfect time to pick up Amazon devices (such as Echo, Echo Dot, Fire TV, Fire Tablet, Kindle and assorted subscriptions).

As many deals are restricted to Amazon Prime members only, now would be a good time to sign-up for a free 30-day trial of Prime if you haven’t yet already. Be sure to check back on Monday 3 AM for the deals!

Kickstarter: Travel Tripod by Peak Design — $8M Raised, 10 Days Left

Posted July 7, 2019 at 10:04 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 0 comments.

It’s nearly last call for Peak Design‘s 9th Kickstarter campaign — a new Travel Tripod that is full of innovative features. This campaign has been a runaway success with almost $8 million pledged from over 18,000 backers. There’s just ten days left to join the campaign.

We previously wrote about the three most innovative features of this tripod, beyond the space-saving design. We were very impressed with the stowaway phone attachment, their one-ring ball head control, and the compatibility with the rest of the Peak Design ecosystem.

The Kickstarter campaign has historically been the best way to save on a Peak Design product — save up to 20% vs. the future retail price, a discount that likely won’t be seen for several years (if at all). You’ll also be among the first to receive the new product. Pledging $289 gets you the aluminium Travel Tripod; $479 gets you the carbon fiber Travel Tripod, but only until July 19th. Check out their Kickstarter campaign today.
