Sometimes, photographers like me don't want to leave the house but still have the desire to get creative, and I think I may have found the perfect way to shoot from home while avoiding the outdoors (and other people) on a typical rainy Sunday. 

I made some purchases this weekend that have taken my at-home photography set up to a new level, with Cyber Monday savings that allowed me to justify these impulse buys. I already own the Sony A7III mirrorless camera, which is one of the best cameras for streaming, but I was missing a plain backdrop, mini tripod, and light source to bring my ideas to life. 

Sony Alpha 7III : $1,999.99 now $1,364.99 at WalmartSAVE $635:

SAVE $635: I already own this camera, but this is an excellent discount for anyone looking for a new professional camera. The Sony A7III is a full-frame mirrorless camera with a stacked 24.2MP Exmor R CMOS sensor and a BIONZ X processing engine. It's lightweight, fast, and super sharp. 

If you're in the UK, the best price right now is £1,299 at Wex Photo Video with cashback and a free JOBY GorillaPod.
