Brilliant piece of kit
Received this tripod as a Christmas gift and have to say it was a very well received gift at that. The quality and abilities of this tripod are outstanding. I love that it can be used in so many different angles and styles of photos from macro (without the strain of kneeling down etc.) to that perfect landscape and lightpainting portraits to simple 'on the fly' shots using the mono pod. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sturdy, easy to carry and use, tripod.

It is so great for older toddlers and kids too
The media could not be loaded.
I’m loving this camera and it works so great for toddlers and older kids too. I’m able to be downstairs and know when they are waking up or need something out of my normal hearing range. I also love that I’m able to talk to them and them back to me. The speaking is crystal clear and the video quality is too notch! The video is of two of my kids when I went to the bank. I was interested it see how well it worked away from the house and was pleasantly surprised.

Great
This flash has every bell and whistle, and even more on top of that. The first thing this has that can't be overlooked is a solid modeling light. Most on camera flashes omit that, but this one delivers. It produces a mild amount of light, but enough to get solid framing when I take the shot.It can run in manual, wireless master, and wireless slave. That's fantastic as the best lighting in my opinion is where the flash is offset from the camera. Even with it mounted, the head can swivel up and down to get a nice ceiling or wall bounce for some beautiful soft light.They actually did the right thing, and made it round, so it makes a beautiful catch light. It even has a zoom function to direct all the light on a specific point when needed.One of the most impressive things about this flash is the super quick recharge time. Even at full power, I can keep hitting that trigger, and continuously get a solid consistent flash.I love that it comes with 2 batteries so I have enough power to shoot way more shots than I'd ever naturally take in one sitting.Overall a very high end light.Highly recommended.

Great until it wasn’t
This was fantastic until it wasn’t. I bought this monitor in June 2020 and have used it pretty heavily for the last year. I have 2 kids and this has been a perfect solution to keep an eye on them during nap times and not stress over strangers being able to get into the camera. The video quality lets me see everything I need too, the camera pans an acceptable amount and the battery life was great.10 months after getting the monitor the battery was going out, so I ordered a new one. And a few days after getting the new battery the volume down button has stopped working. There is no way in the menu to turn the volume down so it’s stuck up. I’ve written to the company’s support email and will update this review when I hear back from them.UPDATE: less than a week after contacting the company I have a replacement monitor. It’s not the same as the one I had originally purchased as that version was out of stock but I was told when it’s back in stock they will send an exact replacement. I’ve been very happy with all communication I’ve had with customer service and with the actions they have taken.

Does what is expected
I didn’t have electricity readily available without running a cable across the kitchen as that was not an option, I chose this wireless camera. I was concerned at first that I would be constantly having to charge this unit. I didn’t realize how well the motion detection would work and reduce the strain on the battery. The picture quality is great and it also works at night and best of all? I still have not had to charge the battery, but if I did, the app would let me know the battery’s current state.

OTTIMA ACTION CAM
Mi ha fatto molto piacere iniziare da un bel manuale di istruzioni scritto in italiano, la camera è apprezzabile da diversi punti di vista, a partire da quelli piu evidenti come il corpo antiscivolo, preziosa e particolare è la possibilità di avere un microfono esterno che finalmente, ovvio senza scafandro, puo riprendere l'audio con il microfono compreso nella dotazione, connettore da 2,5 mm di tipo collarino. Poi ha tanti accessori con plastiche molto robuste al tatto e scafandro che garantisce - 40 mt. EIS funziona molto bene ed è davvero indispensabile su una camera di queste dimensioni per chi non usa il gimbal, in notturna si comporta davvero bene co nuna buona dinamica senza sgranare la ripresa. Direi che è davvero una buona proposta con un ottimo rapporto qualita prezzo, utilizzabile anche come dash cam da parabrezza, va in loop e sovrascrive.

Needs better adhesive
Overall happy with the product. I'm using this mount in a 3/4 ton pickup truck. Very firm suspension, which carries through into the cab. I.e. not a smooth ride.The suction cup holds firm to the dash mount. Unfortunately the adhesive does not hold to the dash. Had to use silicone sealant to hold the dash mounting plate to dash. Secondly, the metal plate used to attach the the back of item to be held did not work. I was using on a rear camera screen weighs about the same as a large cell phone. I followed the mounting directions to the letter. Not once but twice. The second time I placed a weight on the metal tab and let the piece "cure" for over 24 hours. The second time the metal plate held for about a week in cold weather. Once the item warmed in the sun the adhesive came off a flat smooth plastic case. Going to use the same silicone to 'glue' the metal tab. The good news is there are extra metal tabs. I used one inside my cell phone case and the magnets hold the phone firmly in place. The rear camera screen also held firmly in place, until the adhesive let go.

Must have!
I became so anxious this pregnancy wondering how I could keep my baby safe and improve quality of sleep without sacrificing my own! I came across this duo and it became a must have. Every nap and bedtime I put my LO to rest with peace of mind as she wears her Dream Duo sock, that alerts me when she’s awake and needs assistance going back to bed, and the Owlet camera that monitors movement, temp, and alerts me right to my phone when motion is detected. I love the fact that both products are monitored easily on the Owlet app. The picture quality can be a little grainy but overall a good picture. There is also some delay with the camera that could be fixed. The sock has three alert settings that blink different colors and Play different tunes based on the type of alert. I have nothing but great things to rave about with the sock. I would 100% recommend to any parent nervous, anxious, or just looking for an amazing product!This review reflects my experience with and opinion of this product as an actual customer. Note: I received a small incentive for posting my opinion.

Quite the upgrade for an inexpensive action cam!
I upgraded from the Akaso EK7000 cam to this (the EK7000 Pro). While they are similar, this one packs a punch. The 4k video looks better and this one is a touchscreen!.Size-wise, they are almost identical. The EK7000 PRO fits perfectly in all the accessories I already have for my original one but this one still comes with a ton of accessories and mounts for various surfaces.You can set the light settings depending on where you will be shooting video, but the camera also does it on it's own if you don't want to mess with that. Going from darker to light or vice-versa has quick transitions and even shooting in low-light conditions were still extremely viewable.Of course, this one is also waterproof and while it doesn't come with a memory card, they can be found on amazon for cheap. You can control the camera through the on-board controls, the included wireless remote, and even download the apps from Google Play or Apple Store. I can't vouch for the android options, but there are multiple apps for this on the Apple Store. They all work well - save videos directly to your phone, or delete them off the memory card from the app itself.
