The jury is still out, revised.
I am revising my original review and giving the camera five stars. Here is why: There is nothing wrong with the camera. Instead, its memory card was defective. I installed a new name-brand card and 100-percent of the pictures turned out perfectly! I'm pleased.Now, back to the original review:I am delighted with the daytime pictures taken by this unit. They are sharp and the colors are true. The night shots are every bit as good as those taken by a much more expensive trail camera.That's the good.Quite a few frames were only partially recorded at the top and the rest of the frame was blank. I don't know if it is caused by the camera or a poor memory card; so, today I installed a new one of known quality. At any rate, as time went by the problem lessened a great deal.The door/battery compartment fastens to the tripod. When the unit is opened the whole camera swings. That's a little bit unhandy; but, I can live with it.So far, it has been out in the rain and snow and it has not leaked. That said, considering some of the complaints about it I may fashion a cover to provide added protection--just in case.A person gets what they pay for. One cannot expect Cadillac performance at a junker price. :-)I am not disappointed as long as it keeps working the way it has been.

Very satisfied, fast, easy and light rangefinder
I used to use cheap blue rangefinder(you should know what I’m talking about) and thought all rangefinders took more than 3 sec to measure distance with slope. Honestly I was wrong.I was thinking to buy gps watch but this small and beautiful rangefinder made me to keep using laser rather than gps.It scans within a flash and thanks to the pin lock technology, don’t worry about shaking hands. I chose white and this shines on the course and you can clearly see the pin through the lens.Unlike other expensive techie designed rangefinders, this one catches everybody’s eyes.Only cons I can complaint is the case. Why don’t they just use magnet instead of velcro? I know UPL300 comes with magnet closure hard case but it costs you almost $80 more. I’ll just keep using old hard case instead but will replace velcro to magnet cause this white case fits well and looks cool.Other than that this little rangefinder is must have item. Just buy this instead of cheap blue rangefinder. It won’t let you down.

Great quality item and way more affordable than Go
My boyfriend and I bought the akaso as a cheaper option than the GoPro for our trip to Maui several months ago. Our sole purpose for it was underwater recording. The picture quality was very good, capturing video of sea life like turtles and octopus swimming around. We were very impressed by the quality. The only thing we wish was different was the view screen. It would have been a nice feature to have a large screen so we could see what we were filming. Like with many of these cameras, even the gopro, there is only a small lens to look through. I wish there was also a zoom feature, but I don’t know any gopros that have this feature either. Even with the extension pole for closer up shots, we had to guess and hope that what we wanted to film was actually being filmed. Other than that, I would highly recommend the akaso as it’s a way more affordable option than the gopro. When comparing the video quality to my uncle’s gopro, the picture quality and stabilization is just as good, and knowing that it is way less expensive than his gopro, I felt I got the better deal.

Too bad for those who didn't finish watching this
Granted, this movie does start slowly but you'll be rewarded if you keep with it. Two brothers (and their mother) using 3 LED lights and a $600 camera and five years of hard work created this rare gem of an indie film. The three actors doubled as crew and total expenditure was $7000. I was not aware of this when I watched the movie and don't think it will be evident when I rewatch. This heartwarming film is a story about connection, human and otherwise. The score is brilliant as well.

Great Dob scope for star hopping
I purchased this after getting a cheap scope with an unstable tripod. Reading the reviews the Dobsonian mounts were easy to use and great for the backyard.The telescope arrived in two boxes like described and I had already watched YouTube videos on assembling. It really was easy and anyone who has assembled furniture can figure it out. The telescope was also updated based on some of the feedback from other customers. Mine came with a 90 degree finder scope. The main OTA can accept both 1.25” and 2” lenses. The altitude movement was very smooth, however the azimuth movement was sticky. There is a modification for the scope where you install a 12” lazy Susan bearing between the two circular base pieces and I highly recommend it. The lazy Susan will make the azimuth adjustments very smooth and easy.I also removed the 3 feet that came with the telescope and replaced them with 4 x 2.5” locking casters making it much easier to move the scope to the backyard.The scope is a star hopper so you need a basic understanding of the night sky. I took an Astronomy class almost three decades ago. That and a sky application for the phone helped me pick out Jupiter and Saturn. Even in the suburbs with a light pollution of 5 I am able to see the two gas giants easily. You don’t have to wait for astronomical twilight to fade before taking in Jupiter. Once I got my bearings I went for my first nebula and found the Lagoon. It was really a matter of practice with this scope and hopping.If you are looking for a scope to find stuff for you then go for the go to version.The lenses are ok for beginning with. They are both 1.25” but the kit lacks a Barlow. I borrowed the 2x Barlow from the cheap kit, but you can really tell the difference in lenses quality. A zoom lens would also be a good addition to someone buying this kit.I got the laser collimator and moon filter offered by Amazon as a package. The collimator is necessary and I recommend watching a video on how to align your mirrors. I have not found use of the moon filter yet. Here I would recommend a good quality Barlow or Zoom lens.I also wished Amazon carried a light shield for the open truss. You can find one from another reseller and for the backyard with lots of stray light, I’d recommend one.The last thing I’d recommend is a good set of star charts and Left turn at Orion to help you search the night sky.

Very customizable
I had never before used a GoPro product, so I was very curious to try this out, especially after the mysterious Amazon ad which doesn’t tell you much about all of its features. However, when you take this out of the box, you can explore its many features right away by reading the instructions that tell you how to do EVERYTHING! This is fantastic because as a first-time GoPro user, I wasn’t even sure how to set this up or download any of the data. I learned that you sync all of your data to iCloud. There are pros and cons to this of course; with more data and footage, you have to buy more iCloud space which certainly isn’t included in the original price and you are signing up for a subscription when you do this to maintain that space. Secondly, everything is done through the app in this way which means that your information isn’t really private if that is something that matters to you. However, the app is super easy to use and has a great user interface. The menu is also really easy to navigate and is overall pretty intuitive.I was super impressed with all the different video modes you can choose from; there are so many filters and different lens types that you can put onto your videos to make them however you want. Because this is controlled mainly through the app instead of a menu on the device itself, it can show you examples of each so you know exactly what you’re doing. This is so great for a first-timer like me! The video quality is super clear as well and I was impressed–I’ve used lots of impressive lenses in the film industry and I can confidently say that GoPro knows what it's doing for action video.Overall, if you’re a first-time GoPro user, this is a great place to start. I really like this camera and hope to keep using it if I don’t run out of storage!

Fun scope
This is a fun little quality scope! Easy to use and very portable.Exactly aligned on the mirrors and easy to set the finder scope.Best to view no more then 125x power because of the aperatureSeen the rings of Saturn separated from the planet and Jupiter with its moons!The moon looks like you can just about touch it. Very impressed with this little go to scope.Came well packaged and no set up issues. Do not regret this purchase.I use it on the back patio table. My daughter and I wowed at what we had viewed.The mount is very good. Takes a couple of seconds to completely settle after using the focuser. No more!Very impressed with this go to scope. Easy, fun, and just pleased for the value of this starmax 90.Would highly recommend. This is my first scope and not disappointed at all with it. A great buy!Did not think I would actually see what I could with it because I am new with this hobby! I did get the lens kit whichdid help a little but this telescope can stand on it's own merits alone. All pros and no cons for what this telescopeis designed for. Easy storage also! Hope this review will help.Dan

nice flash for beginners
i normally hate using flash but was forced to use one because of an upcoming party i was to attend. having never used a flash before (other than the one built into the camera), a friend recommended this flash to me. there was a learning curve involved, but i got the hang of it rather quickly. just had to remember what power setting to use when the subjects were at certain distances, which for me, was much easier than changing the ISO settings.

Excellent value
Excellent value and authentic looking provided you don't install the batteries - the red flashing light is not authentic and in the real camera would interfere with the picture. Easy to install although a template for the hole positions would have been handy - I used masking tape to transfer the hole positions from the unit to the soffit. You also have to offset the hole positions to allow for the push and twist operation to fit the unit. Definitely recommended though
