The units feels solid and buttons are engage with a nice, positive feel
The Saramonic UwMic9 kit REALLY surprised me. I'm a documentary film maker working on the tight budget. I was a bit aprehensive about using this rig for a once-in-a-lifetime event but I shouldn't have worried. The set worked flawlessly through several events where the subjects were moving around large rooms. The signal never broke up and battery usage was very reasonable. The units feels solid and buttons are engage with a nice, positive feel. No complaints. Highly recommended.

A must have for your GoPro
I have been using similar accessory kits to this since GoPro 3. These kits have everything you need to mount and protect your GoPro in many scenarios. The plastics of the protective case does not degrade the video quality and offers full body and lens protection from the elements, drops and falls.If you are a GoPro user that cares about maintaining the aesthetics and keeping your GoPro in mint condition, you should have one of these accessory kits at your disposal. They are cheap enough to replace if any of the components are broken, as opposed to replacing a GoPro.Good overall quality and a great purchase.

Yeah, it's that good.
The large component of photography is having an eye for subject material and then composition of the picture. I'm convinced too that there are folks that can compose a photo of pretty much anything and make it interesting and appealing in some fashion...although that is not me, but I keep trying.A smaller component of the big picture (pun intended) would be the quality of tools that you are using to obtain your desired outcome. I have often taken photos in the past (35mm film days through recently), and alot of the time they looked, well, not as good as I thought they should have...I of course blamed that on my lack of skills. What I failed to realize is that there is a reason WHY some lenses sell for large amounts of money when there are comparable items available for much less...but will it make a difference to ME? ...is it fair to blame the quality of your equipment for the quality of your photo? Up to a point: absolutely. I can do that no longer...not with this glass.The images I get with this lens are spectacular. I have kids playing baseball, soccer, participating in dance events, swim meets, etc. The first time I used the lens was at a baseball game and I was just amazed at how good of a photo I was able to take...speed, sharpness, it's all there...and when you put the IS feature on top of it, it just gets better. For comparison, I was using an older Canon 70-300 4-5.6 USM previously. I highly doubt I'll ever take a shot that lands on the front of SI (LOL), but I can see a big difference using this glass and I'm very happy.One negative to some: yes it's heavy, but it feels like 3 lbs. of gold in your hands! I wouldn't want to have it hanging on my neck all day, but packing it around for a few hours a time isn't bad at all.Another item that may be a negative: this lens will get you noticed.I'm not going to reiterate all the points made previously... SOOOO, read all the other reviews as I'm sure you will and believe it all because: "Yeah, it's that good"

Great item
I really needed this camera, sorry to say, but I have very shameless neighbors. and I need to record their shameless actions.

Powerful action camera with a lot of capabilities.
The AKASO V50 Pro is overall a very nice action camera. The video resolution can be adjusted up to 4k/30fps down to lower resolutions. There are two choices for video codec, H.254 and H.255. The newer H.255 will produce a smaller file size, however, is not compatible with a lot of software. I’ve had issues trying to get video to play back with standard media players with H.255 and currently does not seem worth the hassle to view and edit with the benefit of lower file size, maybe in a few years this will change. For those who have more experience editing with H.255 this may not be a problem. I have had no issues with H.254. The video stabilization also works well and helps the video stay smooth through relatively normal conditions.Even though it says 64 GB max I’m using a 128 GB class 10 micro SD card and formatted card inside the action camera. I have had no problems with this size card and the extra memory will go a long way.The picture settings allow resolution up to 20MP, and the angle can be adjusted up to super wide (170 degrees). Keep in mind even with distortion calibration on, images will still look distorted near the corners of the image. The fish eye lens is beneficial to capture at wide angles so can come in very handy with wide angle shots. I’m able to take some nice pictures and simply crop out what I don’t need.The case is pretty simple with a custom gasket for the watertight seal. The plastic latch comes over the back face to grab onto a notch on the top. As long as you are careful to avoid any hair or dust on the seal surface and verify latch is in proper location before you close, I believe it should work fine. I would definitely test out the case before you take underwater though.There are a lot of other video and image settings but for the standard user its best to keep it on automatic settings. It’s a bit clunky from a user interface point of view since there are only two buttons that can be used when inside of the case. The touch screen is very nice when outside of the case but since the case is the only thing protecting the lens I don’t know how often I’m going to be using the touch screen. Once you have the desired picture and video settings put it back in the case and use the two buttons to swap between and take images and video very easily.Overall I’m happy with my test images and video and am excited to take this on my next vacation.

One of the best DSLR Camera for a beginner.
I am a beginner to the imaging world. I did lots of research, did read lots of bogs, reviews and comments and finally concluded to buy this one. And trust me i was more than happy with the image quality i got with the basic 18-55 lens itself.Slowly i started experimenting with all the features that the DSLR offers and it was quiet impressive to see the performance. Its real good camera if you are beginner and want to learn the DSLR and photography before you switch on to a real expensive stuff.I would highly recommend this one for beginners and learners. You won't regret with the buy.The cam size and grip is good to hold and its real easy to use. It comes with a battery, power cable, charger and system cable. Also the basic guide book is given by canon.Amazon's price was slightly more (some 5-10 $$ diff) than the price offered by other vendors/stores but then with the free shipping and timely delivery promise of Amazon i would prefer Amazon than other vendors. Amazon is trust worthy and you will get the genuine product on time.I would highly recommend Amazon and Canon EOS Rebel T3. :)

picture quality is up there with Gopro
I was super impressed with the quality of the 4k resolution. Battery life was expectedly ok but I didn't see it to be a problem since I ordered more batteries. I use this cam for beach metal detecting and had a small learning curve to figure out. I think for the price point its not a bad deal. BTW, I also use it as a dash cam strapped to my chest when riding the motorcycle...super duper. When under water it comes with little white tabs that you insert into the housing. This absorbs moisture from within the case and eliminate the fogging on the lens.

Sturdy and locks well
This is a great "selfie stick" but also great little, compact tripod. I almost didn't buy it because it's a full 19" long when completely collapsed and I'd hoped for something more compact. However - I tried the more compact sticks, and they tend to be garbage. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BUY one of those that only have little white tabs which fit into holes go hold the extension open. The little tabs are hard to work with (you almost need a small screwdriver to push them in), and they wear out very quickly and all you're left with is a short hand-held mount for your camera.This selfie stick has positive compression locks that really hold it in place when extended. The tripod base is also large enough to hold most point & shoot cameras, including large ones with long lenses. I wouldn't trust it to hold up my expensive DSLR, but I haven't tried it. You can experiment with it - and be especially careful if you're using a very long lens.I'm glad to be able to give this selfie-stick/tripod a 5-star rating. I recommend it over most similar devices on Amazon!

Id never heard of this camera before i brought one
I've had my Cube+ for about a week now and feel ready to give you my impressions , after having just read the other reviews ,i agree with what they are saying , so i'l just ad my thoughts.1. The price ,compared with the GoPro , is the obvious difference and a big plus.2. Its smaller than a GoPro ,and very cute ,and very unobtrusive , which leads too people not going into '' im having my photo taken'' face , giving a very natural look to picture and video.3. Only 2 buttons and 1 LED. Hold the big button down for 3 seconds and you turn the camera on ,accompanied with 3 beeps and a flashing green LED , its ready to go. Press the button once more and you take a photo ,red led flash and a beep . Press the button x2 and you shooting video . 2 beeps and a flashing red LED , press once more to stop recording ,beep and back too green LED .The second button is for wi fi connection too a mobile or tablet. So very simple too use , but a bit awkward when i was using it in a loud environment. it was very hard to hear the beeps ,though the volume can be changed , mine seams to like being factory setting only not sure why that is and i don't like the 3 second turn on time much ,meaning you really have to have it switched on before something happens otherwise its 3 sec button hold then x2 button tap to get to vid , leading too missed things and some photos of myself/hands ect. You can control the camera via wi-fi but that dose eat up the battery life like a greedy boy who's just come out of hospital and hasn't been allowed to eat because of a operation .4. Im a life long user of photographic cameras ,film and digital ,so i like the punch this tiny little camera has .HD video and 8 mp photos. Also i like the idea of the very old fashioned way of shooting .ie blind , point the cube at the subject and hope you have it , nice.5.The best results ive got are from using the magnetic base mount for stability ,but be careful to you turn the camera on after you've placed it and not the other way round or you'll get video upside down or through 90 degrees . The camera detects what plane its in then decides whats up and whats down but if you move the camera from its original orientation it will remain with the same orientation it started with when you turned it on .6. The sound , frankly is rubbish , compare it with any mobile device and its like placing a hanky over the mic and wondering why it sounds a bit muffled .7. The most odd thing ive found with it is , it comes partly charged with a 8GB micro SD card , good to be able to use when you get it, you place the card in upside down , Goldie contacts facing up , and plug into the USB too charge , where it starts to flash orange , a bit unnerving when there are no instructions as yet telling you thats whats happens. Even more strange is when i discovered that although id been uploading photos/ video as id shot them ,by day 2 the LED started to flash orange when i turned it on =//, what did that mean ? It turns out that you have to reformat the SD card when it gets full up , bit odd as there was nothing on it, ive never come across this before with any of my other digital cameras but thats what you have to do , Mac or PC ,you will find some kind person will have posted it on Youtube or on a forum on the web ,it turns out its very easy to do and takes seconds , but i haven't seen this mentioned anywhere in the info in box or the online help guide , so you do now.If your looking for a cheep robust camera for taking around with you , i think this is very good even though the lens is fixed and its all about taking the camera too the subject not the other way round , you want a close up ? get close up then ! the 128 degree wide angle lens is ether a blessing or a curse depending on your preference , best focal length is about 1m for close ups and a max of about 5m depending on available light , things become background after that . Another nice feature ive found is that although is says you can capture stills and trim video , i tried this on a tablet , id shot something on its 1440 HD setting and it couldn't handle it , maybe just a slightly old bit of technology problem , but i then tried to do the same thing on a Mac and bingo! Quicktime player too the rescue , trim video clips front and back ,no problem , want stills from your video ? ok just stop the playback on the shot you want , press cmd ,shift and 4 , crop the image with the window , snapshot sent too your desktop .nice one!
