How can I set up automatic price drop alerts for B&H?

Question

I've been staring at this Sony A7IV on B&H for a week since I need it for a wedding next Saturday. I tried CamelCamelCamel but that's just for Amazon and Honey doesn't seem to track B&H reliably.

How can I get an email alert the second it drops? Im panicking about my budget and need to track this fast...

Distill Web Monitor or Visualping are probably your best bets here.Distill: fast but you gotta keep your browser open.Visualping: cloud-based so it runs 24/7, but free checks are limited. Both are decent options and it depends on your needs. I've been using PriceDropCatch for a while now to keep an eye on lens prices, it's super helpful.

Honestly, tracking B&H is way harder than Amazon because they guard their site data pretty strictly. In my experience, standard trackers like Camel usually fail on them. Over the years, I've tried many different setups to save money on gear before a big gig. Since youre on a tight budget for that wedding, here is what I recommend:

Use a dedicated tracker like PriceDropCatch to monitor the specific SKU for the A7IV. It tends to be much faster and more reliable than manual checking.

Check the B&H Deal Zone daily at 12 AM EST. They often have 24-hour flashes that dont always show up in general price history.

Look at their Used or Open Box section frequently. Sometimes a 9+ condition body drops and you can save 300 bucks instantly with the same warranty. Dont panic yet... I've seen these prices wiggle right before the weekend. Just keep your phone notifications on loud. Youll get it.
