Today’s B&H Photo Video DealZone (one-day deal) is the Manfrotto 504HD Fluid Head & MVT535AQ Aluminum Video Tripod Kit for only $299.95. The regular price for this video tripod kit (fluid head and aluminimum tripod) is $700.
The head features independently variable pan and tilt fluid drag, and supports a camera up to 16.5 lbs. The aluminum tripod weighs 7 pounds, and supports 44 pounds of head and camera. A solid deal for a solid video tripod.
B&H and Adorama have now updated their pre-order price to correctly show the $300 pre-order discount on the “Premium Kit”. Effectively, you are getting a free SanDisk 64GB Extreme PRO CFast 2.0 memory card, plus a CFast 2.0 card reader, when you pre-order the EOS-1D X Mark II.
The effective $300 discount from the free CFast card is likely the best deal we’ll see for a while! This discount is only eligible for pre-orders. The camera is expected to ship in mid-April. Typically, a long delay for availability indicates that initial supply is expected to be low.
The EOS-1D X Mark II has been announced!
B&H and Adorama have adjusted the above Premium Kit price to $5999, as we were expecting them to! Your pre-orders should automatically switch over to the lower price.
Canon USA is including a free SanDisk 64GB Extreme PRO CFast 2.0 Card and card reader (a $300 value). You can pre-order at Amazon, B&H or Adorama. Be sure to order the “Premium Kit” that includes the free SanDisk 64GB CFast card. The effective $300 discount is likely the best deal we’ll see for a while!
The camera has a new battery pack and wireless transmitter:
In preparation for the rumored announcement of the EOS-1D X Mark II, we’re now tracking deals on CFast 2.0 Memory Cards, which feature read and write speeds in the 400-500 MB/s range.
In the rumored specs for the EOS-1D X Mark II these cards are good enough for bursts of 170 RAWs at 16 frames per second, that is fast!
Many websites are reporting the imminent announcement of the EOS-1D X Mark II. We’re really excited to see the full specs for this refresh, as much of the technology should trickle down over the coming years to the rest of their camera line-up.

Many readers have asked, “when will you have a street price on the camera?” It all depends on supply and demand — it could be anywhere from weeks to half a year before retailers are willing to discount new release cameras. Generally, if you want to have the camera in the first few weeks, be prepared to pre-order and wait — and pay full price.
The $350 Canon mail-in rebate (when you purchase, camera, printer, and paper) has been renewed until February 27th. The promotion id is new, so you are eligible for a rebate (even if you took advantage of a previous rebate period.)
Unfortunately B&H bundle deals expired last night, but Adorama is still showing some great bundle pricing. The rebate expires on February 27th, but the retailers have the discretion to change their bundle price at any time. The bundles include free memory cards and bags.
Today’s B&H Photo Video DealZone (one-day deal) is the Datacolor Spyder5ELITE for $174.00 or the Datacolor Spyder5PRO for $109.00. This ties for the lowest prices seen yet!
The Spyder5 features better low luminance accuracy compared to the Spyder4 series of display calibration. This deal is for their PRO (mid-range) product, with a regular price of $189, as well as their ELITE (high-end) product, with a regular price of $279. The ELITE adds support for front-projector calibration, as well as standard calibration targets for those working with video.
