TriCaster 455 for $9,995 – Deal Alert

May 16, 2013 By Eric Reagan

While I’m aware this deal is only relevant to a small segment of readers, I wanted to make sure that those in live video production were aware that the TriCaster 455 is available for $9,995 through June 27. If you’ve been shopping for a production mixer, you know that the TriCaster 455 normally retails for $16,000, so this is ridiculous savings on a very popular mixer. (Note that the deal is for the TriCaster unit only and does not include the control surface or monitors.)
