I test gear for a living, so it takes a really good deal for me to hit the buy button. Well, I’m also a gear addict so if there’s an OK deal on a cool piece of kit I’ll also buy it. This Black Friday there are some particularly good deals on gear that I like. Here’s what I bought today.

Stuff I Bought
