I don't know about you, but by this point in the discount weekend, I've already bought most of the things I was looking out for. I made my list of black friday drone accessories and snapped them up because I didn't want to wait in case the deals ran out.

Now I'm left thinking about the things I don't need but could definitely stand some improvement. I know my Sony A7 III would love to be paired with a better lens, but another camera I use every day is the terrible webcam in my MacBook Pro. Since, like so many jobs, my work involves fewer glamorous visits and more online meetings than I'd like it makes sense to up my game in this area and invest in a better webcam.
