2023 Black Friday Sales for Content Creators

'Tis the season once more—the time when anticipation fills both my mind and heart with the promise of fantastic sales and opportunities to snag incredible deals on the camera gear I've been eyeing all year. Yet, it's also that season when my wallet sheds a tear as it inevitably empties out in pursuit of these irresistible offers.

If you want to skip all of the fluff and get straight to the purchasing, head straight to this Amazon list that I threw together.

You will see a lot of gear from Ulanzi which is not by coincidence. I came across them while looking for a solution to mounting my camera in odd places to get unique angles. Most things that I tried from brands like Smallrig or Manfrotto didn't infuse me with much trust when supporting my camera and lens. Then I found the Ulanzi Super Clamp paired with the U-80L Ballhead which smashed the competition! I now own at least 3 of these setups and keep them in different bags so I always have them on the go. These easily hold my Canon R5 with the 70-200mm lens.

For tripods, I usually go with the Peak Design Travel Tripod CF when traveling or backpacking. I'll be honest, it is a bit heavier than I would like, but I love the small footprint and the quick setup/breakdown. It's worth checking out the Ulanzi Zero Y tripod - I don't have any hands-on with this, but I have heard great things. I believe it is a bit bigger when packed down but it weighs a little less.

Most items on here I use personally, and most of them every single day. Some items, such as the DJI Pocket 3 Creator Combo, I will be getting because I believe it is going to be a huge asset in my workflow. Side note: it is NOT on a Black Friday sale, but if you want to get your hands on it anytime soon, you need to order asap.

I included the Jackery 1000- Plus Solar Generator with Panels because it is my best friend when I am off the grid, in the backcountry, camping, and creating. It keeps all of my camera gear powered up and as long as I have sunshine, the 2 panels keep it topped off. You can see my review of the Jackery 1000W Setup which has all the specs you could want to know about the setup.

What’s in My Bag?!

Canon EOS R5 - The best body I have ever used for photo and video. For the professional image-maker who needs resolution, speed, and video capabilities.

Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8 - My absolute favorite lens. Canon's lightest and shortest 70-200mm f/2.8 lens ever.

Canon RF 24-70mm f2.8 - When I only get to take one lens, this is my go-to! A versatile wide-angle to portrait-length lens characterized by its bright, advanced, and intuitive design.

Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 USM III - A workhorse wide-angle zoom and member of the well-regarded L-series of lenses.

Lowepro Whistler RL 400 AW II - A rugged rolling camera case that can comfortably and securely carry your mobile photo studio while meeting carry-on requirements for most international and US airlines.

The Peak Design Everyday 20L Bag - An iconic, award-winning pack for everyday and photo carry, the newly revamped Everyday Backpack is built around access, organization, expansion, and protection.

Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L - A rugged, expandable, and brilliantly accessible carry-on travel backpack driven by a simple truth: no two trips are the same.

Peak Design Small Camera Cube - Ultra-protective yet easily accessible, Peak Design Camera Cubes take the pain and hassle out of traveling with photo, video, or drone gear

Manfrotto Carbon Fiber 4-Section Tripod – A load capacity of 19.8 lb and extends from 3.5" to 66.9"

Arca Swiss D4 Geared Tripod Head – Love the small footprint and ultra smooth and precise features. Combines the advantages of a spherical head and a 3D tilt head in one compact system

Peak Design Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod – Radically faster to setup and takedown, our tripod features ergonomic adjustment points, built-in mobile compatibility, and thoughtful details at every turn

DJI Mavic Pro 2 Fly More Combo – Not the newest or smallest but an absolute workhorse with amazing results.

Apple iPad Pro – I use this to view the Camranger Miniwhen on -site but also for big screen viewing on the plane!

GoPro Hero 10 Black – I usually have a GoPro within arms reach at all times. They are truly the most versatile action camera on the market.

SmallRig Super Camera Clamp Mount - This thing is so cool It can grab onto anything you need it to. I fix my Quadlock iPhone tripod attachment and use this to film most of my reels.

Quadlock iPhone Case and Mount - I have the entire setup - cycling, motorcycle, phone, car - it’s the jam.

URTH 82mm Filter Set – I love their innovative storage solution. It helps me to keep my filters clean and free of scratches.

CamRanger Mini – I couldn’t do my hotel shoots without using a CamRanger. Especially when working with an outside creative director or stylist.

Lume Cube LED Panel – Smaller than my phone, this light packs a punch and is such an amazing tool to pop some light onto your subject. Especially in tighter compositions such as f&B.

Godox AD200 Pro with Trigger – Love these flashes. The recycle period is quick enough to use for lifestyle and they throw out a ton of light.

SmallRig Black Mamba Cage for R5 with top handle – I use this for my handheld video work and it’s rock solid.

5-in1 48-inch Neewer Reflector Kit - Just straight up a necessity in any photographer’s kit. Always a use for a reflector or scrim.

My camera gear closet is always growing as I am constantly switching out or testing new gear. But that's part of being a creative - pushing the boundaries - finding new angles. Maybe you can relate.
