Well Built and Functional
The last ball head joint that came with a light set I got from Neewer was pretty flimsy and didn't work with heavier cameras. I upgraded a lens to a better video lens on one of my cameras and the old ball head just wouldn't hold the camera up for any length of time no matter how tight it was cranked.Hence bring in this ballhead joint. Looking through reviews on Amazon I was trying to find a sturdy joint that wouldn't break the bank, and this looked like the best option. The device certainly is sturdy, easy to adjust, and I feel like this will last me for a good while.

Best sub $100 action cam?
I bought this camera to capture bike rides and kayak trips this summer and over all it’s been really solid.Pros: -the image stabilization is really solid. It might be the camera’s best feature and in IMO looks just as good as some of the more expensive ones on the market.-4K vids look super crisp.-while the touch screen works nicely, I appreciate that there are dedicated buttons for the menu that you can access even in the weatherproof case. Nice touch.-this little thing is rugged! It has a rubberized type of case that feels solid in hand, and survived and over the handlebars crash on my mountain bike, no case. Dusted off the lens off and the thing still shoots mint.-it’s compatible with most GoPro mount accessories.-internal mic is surprisingly better that I expected, wind reduction is okay.Cons:-limited to 64GB SD card storage-low light leaves something to be desired, dusk/post dusk shots on bike trails underneath the trees can be tough.-would be nice if this was compatible with the V50 Pro batteries.In conclusion this is a lot of bang for the buck. If your just looking for good stable 4K video on the cheap, this is a no-brainer. While my use so far has been limited to bike rides and kayak trips, I can’t wait to see how this thing stacks up snowboarding this season. I’ll use the $$$ I saved over a GoPro on lift tickets!

Great to be Eight!
We gave this camera to my grandson for his 8th birthday and he loved it! The camera comes with all the needed elements to get started right away. After charging for only 30 minutes it was ready to go and he was off snapping pictures and having a blast with the different funny filters. He especially got a kick out of asking us to hold different poses so he could use the sticker functions to give us a mustache or hold a bouquet of flowers...the kinds of things kids love. The picture quality was as expected and just right for a camera of this size and scope. It wasn't grainy, but neither was it DSLR quality - it was kid camera quality and he loved it. PS - the games are a bonus, he wanted me to tell you!

I definitely recommend and like
I like it a lot but sometimes the video lags to where the person will come into picture video and then it lags and the person is gone. I don’t like that it’s army time and can’t do normal time. I also wouldn’t get another camera that has motion detector where the camera actually moves because when it rains or snows it moves and then won’t move back. I WOULD BUY THIS CAMERA AGAIN. I HIIIIGHLY SUGGEST YOU BUY THIS. Crystal clear picture. I did duct tape the sides so the camera wouldn’t move. It’s set on what I want it set on. PRETTY EASY TO SET UP. No subscription needed.

Awesome!!!!
I absolutely love this 360 camera! The quality is amazing! You can set it up in any large area and be able to see all around. I like that it comes with the solar panel to keep it charged 24/7! Installation was so fast and easy!!!! Not to mention the set up and adding the camera to my existing account was fast. You get clear picture perfect views! Night vision is great and clear at night. You can also activate the white led light and siren If needed. As you can see I set up my solar panel away from the camera on my roof since it comes with a long cord. So all you see if the camera. You can’t beat the amazing price!!!!!

Updated review boosted wifi but have to wait.
Updating my review.. At first setup the chime pro indicated poor signal no matter what I tried.. I finally placed it in location with -45 RSSI 8 ft in the air and only 10 ft from a spotlight camera at same height. Again at first the signal did not improve at all at the spotlight camera, was actually worse than home main wifi located 50 feet on other side of the house. It does do a good job of having additional speaker in a room to say someone is at door or motion detection. Some reason days later checking the chine pro network, it is now showing better signal to the camera, not sure if this is issue with the hardware in the devices taking time to update, but it is actually helping the spotlight camera with response and signal.

Works nicely with the Canon PowerShot SX10
I bought this flash for my Canon PowerShot SX10 for one main reason: I wanted to be able to bounce a flash off the ceiling to take pictures of pets and kids indoors without blinding them with direct flash all the time. It works nicely for that and is stupidly easy to use with the only drawback being that you can't point it to the ceiling while holding the camera sideways to take pictures in portrait format.The next thing I learned is that it also works very well with the Raynox DCR-250 macro conversion lens to get sharp hand-held macro pictures. You might have to fiddle with the flash controls a bit to turn down the flash intensity. I've had good success with manual flash control or flash compensation or using some sort of diffuser (paper napkins taped over the flash work great). It may not be the best thing to use for close-ups, but it sure does a much better job than the built-in flash.The flash itself is small and light enough to balance well on the PowerShot cameras and slips right into your pocket for easy carrying. It is very easy to use - just slip it onto the hot shoe, lock it and turn it on and you're ready to go. Remember to pack some spare batteries. If you want more features, plenty of manual settings are available through the camera's menu. I've used it quite a bit and haven't even had a chance to test all the settings and options yet.

Simple to set up, use and it works very well
To be honest, I did not intend to buy this remote control, I never thought I would need or want one and actually, I did not even know they existed. I was buying a tripod and this was a suggested add-on by Amazon.Since it was so inexpensive and since I am intrigued by technology, I bought it with the thought that if I did not like it, I would give it to one of my kids. My kids take selfies, I do not but, on the occasions where I have taken "selfies", they were more "groupies". When I hike with friends, I'll sometimes take a group shot which necessitates my setting up the phone camera, turning on the selfie timer, and jumping back into the picture. One issue is that if the phone is far away to get the whole group into the shot, I cannot see the timer countdown. This remote eliminates the need for the timer.I opened the package, turned the remote on with the slide switch on its side, and opened the BlueTooth settings on my Samsung Galaxy 9 phone. The remote showed up waiting to be paired, I clicked "pair", and that was all that was required to set it up.I opened the camera app on my phone, placed it about 8 feet away, looked towards the lens, smiled, pressed the button on the remote, and there I was in all my selfie glory in my photo gallery.So easy to set up, so easy to use and it's a convenience I never even thought of having. For the price, you can't afford to not have one of these in your toolbox.

Great wearability
I don’t think the advertisement tells you a good description of what the actual wearability of this camera is—does it go around your neck, your ear, or your forehead? The answer is that it is only as big as your ear and could maybe fit around your wrist (but uncomfortably so), and for that reason, it sits at about eye level. Because this is perfect for eye level, I’d say that the quality is about that good. The camera quality, when downloaded onto a computer or iPhone for editing purposes, is quite impressive. It has a wider lens than I expected and captures quite a bit of the world around me. I use this for vlogging bike rides and cooking (as per the content for my online presence) and it captures more than I see even with the naked eye. Plus it is hands-free?! This is perfect for content creation, especially because you aren’t even interrupted by a tripod or external fixture.Additionally, the setup and download are super easy to do. It is all written out clearly in the instructions and lets you follow along step by step to see how this can connect to any device via wifi or USB cable. The headpiece itself is adjustable and you can make it fit any person which is great if you have a team of creators like me. I have bought this as a gift for many people on my team now and it is the perfect addition to the workplace!Overall, the ability to download the data onto another device and connect to wifi makes it super easy to use for all purposes. I highly recommend it!
