Ease of use with good comfort.
Nice strap comfortable and keeps your camera ready to use. I added a small dog collar to go over my wrist for a little added security as these things can slip off your hand if you slip or get jostled ,but a little strap fixes that. Much more comfortable than the neck strap. I also use a long strap over one shoulder with a carabiner that you can attach to the hand strap if you are on a long hike and get tired of carrying your camera.

Beautiful & functional
When I was buying it, I knew that features-wise Lily is not as good as my other Garmin watch, Solar instinct. So for the features Lily comes with, it is the best.Battery was an issue, it lasted for only 2 days maximum. But after the software update and after turning off the sleep SpO2 tracking, it's good.Charging is fast.Connecting to the Android & iOS apps like Garmin connect, MyFitnessPal, etc is simple and smooth.The strap isn't purple, it's more of greyish aubergine. Quality of the silicon strap is good. The display is good on a bright day as well. Though it has menstrual tracking and is marketed as a women's watch, it can be worn by men too.

It's got more than most people will ever need.
I was suprised how nice the plastic they used is. It's really strong and glossy and the metal parts and nylon straps seem above average as well, like the head strap has a grippy bead of silicone or something inside it. That's extra, they didn't even have to but they did.

Works great with my Speedlite 580 EX II on my Cano
I like attaching with a simple rubber band rather than the strong tight rubber strap provided. I find it easier to put on and off. I've used it with water drop photography and bounce the flash of my white ceiling, and it gives a smooth colored light effect.

Well made and a great price!
Bought for my Canon Powershot sx260 HS.This case is very well made and feels great to carry it around, has nice padding inside to protect your camera and space for small USB cable or spare battery and a SD card. The zip feel's high quality and the rubber on the zip gives it a nice feel and makes it much easier to open the case. The colour scheme is also very attractive.For the price it does not feel cheap at all. The only niggle is the strap that comes with it which doesn't seem very high quality and the clips are made of plastic not metal.

Make this great stand even better...DIY-style
As suggested on David Hobby's excellent strobist blog, I modified this stand for my intended mobile use. Drill two small holes (I'd say no larger than 7/32" after drilling pilot holes) on each end of one leg with a titanium drill bit (mine are about 2" in from each end), then insert large split rings (keys rings) into the holes to accomodate a strap (I used my camera's OEM strap for this). Attach an umbrella adapter with cold shoe, then ball bungee an umbrella to the whole setup. Boom. Instant mobile studio for small flashes. Here's what I use (in addition to this excellent stand):-
Manfrotto 026 Swivel Lite-Tite Umbrella Adapter

Westcott 43" Optical White Satin Collapsible Umbrella

10pc Premium-Grade New Virgin Rubber 8" Bungee Ball Cords - Tarps, Canopy, Wrap Hose & Cords
I personally use this with a Canon 600EX-RT on the stand controlled by a Canon ST-E3-RT on a 5D Mark III, but this setup will work for almost any flash trigger/flash setup.*UPDATE (9/10/2012)*:- If you'd like to have a removable strap, you can get a
Domke 742-6BK 1.5-Inch Web Strap with Swivel (Black)
. Reverse both ends so that the swivels are at the terminus and attach those to the split rings.*UPDATE (12/27/2012)*:- If you plan on using a larger light modifier than a 43" umbrella (e.g. a 24" softbox), get a heavier stand like the
Manfrotto 1005BAC Ranker Stand (Black)
.-

are a good addition. Carry them empty, fill them with rocks or something when you arrive, then dump the contents before you leave.

Great for toddlers
I bought this for my 2-year-old niece who loves to get into my photography equipment. She loves it! It has sooooooo much space! Very durable, she throws it without the case and strap and it’s still holding sturdy after a couple of months! Recommend.

Good customer service from Smallrig
whatever you do, DO NOT remotely add any pressure onto the small screw to secure the camera strap side of the cage on the left of the camera.lBetter yet don't even put that screw on, it stripped and I barely put any pressure. Now I can't take the cage off my camera, the bottom screw is fine but the small one is completely stuck. Have not been able to take it off all day.—UPDATE:Smallrig reached out to me and they sent over a brand new cage after i managed to get the original cage off, it looks like I had a defective cage the first time around. All the contact points seem to be well machined like the previous Smallrig gear I’ve gotten. I got unlucky the first time around it seems, updated my review to reflect that.

A steal!
So happy about this purchase. My baby loves her sound machine, especially when we’re on the go. The sounds are perfect, volume has range, and the light is impressive. Love the use of a strap just incase. I highly recommend this portable sound machine!
