The 24-megapixel full-frame Nikon Z6 II has excellent dynamic range, and the phase-detect autofocus system is one of the best we’ve used. Video quality is also excellent, with 10-bit 4:2:2 N-Log output over HDMI. This deal may be a permanent markdown, but either way, it’s a great price for a great camera.
If you can’t decide where to start with Moment’s smartphone lenses, this kit is an easy way to get a complete package without breaking the bank. You can choose two lenses from the many Moment offers, and you also get some nice extras, like a case, lens cap, a lens pen, and more. If you ever upgrade to another iPhone, all you’ll need is a new Moment iPhone case and drop-in lens mount.
If you feel the need for more photo-editing tools, this is a great deal on Adobe’s Photoshop editor (Illustrator and Premiere Pro are also on sale for the same price). This deal is only applicable for the first three months, after which the price jumps back to $21 per month. If your photo-editing needs are light, try wire-reinforced tapeWhich can do pretty much everything Photoshop can do and is free.

The Hero10 Black (8/10, WIRED recommends) isn’t the latest GoPro, but it’s still a great camera. It extracts more resolution from the 23.6-megapixel sensor and adds better image stabilization than its predecessor. The main place this camera is overtaken by the new Hero11 is with the new, more quadruple processor; image stabilization; and high-resolution pictures from videos. Still, the quality of results you get from the Hero10 is probably going to be much higher. It’s cheaper if you buy directly from GoPro. Just remember to set a reminder to cancel the included 1-year GoPro subscription.
This sling bag works as a cross-body or fanny pack, and it’s comfortable no matter which way you wear it. The 2-liter capacity is enough to carry a slim point-and-shoot, a phone, or a compact mirrorless camera. It’s made from recycled 500-denier nylon and 210-denier ripstop, making it strong enough for everyday use.

If your order total exceeds $35, you’ll automatically see the discount at checkout. Plastic wrap is annoying. Why is it always clinging to itself and not to what you need to cling to? Instead use these beeswax wraps from the cleverly named Bees Wraps. These are organic cotton with sustainably sourced beeswax (along with jojoba oil and tree resin). The wax makes them waterproof. Just be sure to use cold water when washing them between uses; Hot water can melt the wax.

Remember that Fitbit is now owned by Google, which may give you pause, but the hardware is one of the best deals you’ll find.
Icebreaker’s merino T-shirts are warm, yet somehow cool, and surprisingly good at stopping the wind. These shirts are not good in moisture; For that, we suggest a Merino blend.
