GoPro HERO7 Black
After the GoPro HERO8 Black launched, GoPro cut the HERO7 Black to S$499. On 11/11, Lazada ran flash sales dropping it further, to S$449 at midnight; I bought it, then woke to a cheaper noon flash sale.

The ViDi Action Camera came from a Kickstarter that raised US$151,880 from 1,253 backers, with shipping in December 2015. It's now officially available in Singapore for S$179, brought in by TC Acoustic, as a compact alternative to a GoPro.

I'd always wanted a GoPro but couldn't justify the cost on an action camera I might rarely use. Then I spotted the Sony HDR-AS20 bundled with a 16GB Micro SDHC card on Amazon for US$97, a tempting pre-Black-Friday deal.
