Yuneec Drones Get Big Price Drops

By

Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K

It looks like Yuneec’s quadcopters have taken a significant price drop in addition to the recent drops we saw on DJI Phantom 3 drone prices.

The Yuneec Q500 4K Typhoon is now $999.99 (was $1299.99) and comes complete with the SteadyGrip handheld gimbal and aluminum carry case.

The Yuneec Q500+ Typhoon 1080/60p model is now $699.99 (was $1099.99). It also ships with the SteadyGrip handheld gimbal and aluminum case.

The Yuneec Typhoon G with the GoPro Gimbal is down to $499.99 (was $899.99).

I’m not sure if these are permanent or will expire soon. I’m a big fan of the Yuneec drones because of the added value you get with the full kit over what DJI offers. I’ve had a Q500 4K on deck for review for a while now and really have nothing but praise for it. I’ll get around to that review soon hopefully, but in the mean time, these are some solid deals on great drones.

 

Deal: Fuji X-Pro1 w/ XF 27mm f/2.8 Lens for $699

By

Fuji X-Pro1

With the Fuji X-Pro2 just announced, the X-Pro1 remains at some crazy clearance prices.

You can get the Fuji X-Pro1 with the XF 27mm f/2.8 lens for $699, along with a 32GB SanDisk U3 memory card and camera bag. The XF 27mm f/2.8 lens alone sells for $449 right now, so it’s like you’re paying $250 for the X-Pro1 body.  That’s a pretty cheap way to buy into the Fuji X-Series.

Also, you can get the X-Pro1 with the XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS lens for $799. It also includes a 32GB SanDisk U3 card and camera bag. This is another solid deal, considering that the XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS lens runs $699 in you buy it alone right now. I’ll let you do the math on that value.
