Black Friday 2024 deals part four: Apple, Atomos, CVP, Hedge, Lightworks, Samsung, Sonos

As the day itself finally arrives, there are yet more bargains to be had with some big names joining the general discounting.

Let’s start with Atomos, which has slashed $400 off its most powerful and feature-rich monitor-recorder, the Shogun Ultra, and dropped it to $799 from its more usual $1199. That’s a big saving, and is one mirrored by its discount on the Ninja Phone. Now you too can transform your iPhone 15/16 Pro/Pro Max into a pro-grade streamer, recorder, and monitor for your DSLR camera for only $199. That’s 50% off.

Meanwhile, anyone who purchases a Shinobi II monitor during the designated Black Friday period is eligible to receive a free sunhood worth $59, and any customer who purchases a connected monitor-recorder or accessory is eligible to receive a free NDI 6 activation worth $99.

Sticking at the top end of the alphabet, there are deals to be had on Apple kit too. How you choose to get them depends on you. The Apple Store itself tends not to deal in anything as vulgar as discounts, and offers you an Apple Gift Card up to $200 when you buy an eligible product. Shop around on third parties, however, and similar amounts can be saved directly off the price.

We’ve already talked about the CVP Black Friday sale, and it continues to impress. Discounts, cash back and special prices feature across hundreds of product lines are available directly on cvp.com and via Account Managers. Customers can enjoy savings on a wide selection of equipment from leading brands such as Blackmagic, Canon, DJI, Fujifilm, Panasonic, SmallHD, Sony, and many more, with deals designed to cater to every budget and production requirement. The company’s used marketplace also features special deals and is the destination for buying and selling pre-loved equipment. Find out more HERE.

Samsung SSD cards are rightly popular — indeed, our review of the Samsung T7 Shield portable SSD was one of our most popular articles of 2023 — and there is close to $200 off the company’s 990 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 4TB at the moment. You can currently pick that up at a wide variety of sites, including samsung.com.

Sonos is a company that has had a slightly less successful 2024. But for all its many app woes, its speakers still rock quite mightily. You can currently get $90 off the Sonos Era 300 speaker, down to $359, and $200 off the Arc smart soundbar, making it $699. Head here for details.
