Shoot professional-level Facebook Live videos with the Memo Live Event Camera from Livestream that normally retails for $400 but is currently discounted to $350 with Amazon coupon code applied. Paired with an iOS device, you can remotely control it as if it’s a personal cameraman, allowing you to zoom into subjects and pan around a frame. We got our hands on the Memo back in November and thought it was an easy-to-use way to shoot polished live broadcast. Highlights include pan and zoom function, a wide angle lens, and the fact that it automatically adjusts for the best exposure.

The camera has all the makings of an action cam complete with a 12.4-megapixel Sony 4K sensor that delivers a 16:9, 3,840 x 2,160-pixel resolution at 30 frames per second and the A9SE chipset from Ambarella. The 4K sensor minimizes quality loss, most noticeably when panning and zooming. For mobile pairing, the Mevo uses Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n at 2.4 or 5GHz) for either a direct connection with an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, or via a Wi-Fi network. It also has built-in stereo microphones, and the ability to plug in external audio through the iOS device connected to the camera. Finally, the camera allows you to edit and adjust directly from your mobile screen. Pinch to zoom to convert a single frame from Mevo into multiple live shots, use a finger tap to make edits, or drag two fingers to pan.

The Memo Live Event Camera is currently available for $350 on Amazon giving you a 13 percent or $50 discount.

If you've been holding out on buying a new phone for a while because prices are still expensive, then you may want to consider going for one of the older flagship phones.

In fact, you can buy a brand new and sealed Pixel 7 Pro from Woot for just $500, rather than the usual $1,100, and that's for the 512GB version of the phone, so you get a lot of storage with it as well.

This popular Dell business laptop is discounted from $849 to $579
Dell Vostro 14 sitting on a table

If you're looking for a solid business laptop that's both portable and won't break the bank, then you'll be very happy with the Vostro 14. Not only is it highly rated, but it's still packed with features for being such a small device, and while it can be a little bit pricey at MSRP, you can get it for a steep discount. Dell has knocked an impressive $270 off the usual $849 price tag, bringing it down to a much more affordable $579, making it an excellent deal if you've been looking for a new device.

Why you should buy the Vostro 14
For being only a small 14-inch laptop, the Vostro 14 has some pretty good specs and a couple of ones that maybe should have been slightly better. For example, you get 16GB of DDR4 RAM, which is really excellent, especially for a more business-oriented laptop, so you can open a lot of apps and tabs at the same time. On the other hand, you only get an Intel Core i5-1335U, which is a mid-range processor, and while it's absolutely fine for business work and productivity, it would have been nice to get the higher-end Intel Core i7-1355U for a bit extra power and versatility.
