Ulanzi has 22% off on orders over $89.
@nmerc_photos@ Thanks for the reminder about Ulanzi. After briefly pondering the Peak Designs' sale, I decided to try the Ulanzi Zero Y tripod instead...$218 total.

Great work! That tripod is a bargain at $218. I'm sure you won't be upset with your purchase.
Shoot, I already own one and have no need for more... but that cheap I might buy one just as an extra
F38 vs Zero Y is just a difference in the head, mounting platform
F38 uses the Falcam F38 system, which IMO - I find very annoying. Some people love it.
The Zero Y utilizes the widely accepted arca swiss setup, which makes it much more useful for me.
I own the F38 tripod and Backpack Strap Clip V2. If you use both, the F38 mount can make sense. The strap clip (v2) is well designed overall, it can hold my A7RV + Sigma 24-70 II or Tamron 70-180 G2 easily.
The OWC or Prograde Iridium (both Type A 4.0) are at a similar price. I'm debating between these 2 brands, and the size. I have the A1 II pre-ordered, and plan to use the pre-capture + 30fps for wildlife. 480GB would be enough but 960GB has a better size/price ratio. I can't believe I'm considering spending > $800 in memory cards (for both slots) !

Just remember that the speed of these cards are not being utilized by the camera. Only the download to the computer will be faster if you own a fast card reader and computer with at least USB 3.2 ports. I think.

Yes. It's just they are now about the same price, no reason to buy the older generation. The new USB4 readers are also not more expensive.
They aren't the cheapest out there on a per byte basis, but if you are like me - don't shoot video and don't like to have all your photo eggs in one basket (massive cards holding 10,000+ photos) - this is a great deal. I shoot C-RAW so I will still be getting around 5100 photos per card.

Seems as if lots of Black Friday deals are not very good at all.
