Not bad at all for the price
Pretty decent little tripod for the cost. To those saying it's too heavy, perhaps eat some more protein based food because this is beyond light.
The only real complaint I have is the leg release locks on the main hub where all 3 attach. It's rather flimsy but very very minor detail and doesn't stop me from using this tripod in any way shape or form. I tested it out for stability on my 1984 Canon AE-1 Program and put my longest lense onto it. Locked everything down and gave things a good wiggle. The tripod held up well and I feel confident taking it out in the field. It's a good height and I really like the twist locks on the legs. It's compact enough that it will fit into the side of a camera back pack with no issues. The carrying bag is decent quality it seems and is a nice add on. If you're thinking about ordering it, go ahead. It's a nice little tripod for the field and folds up quite compact.

Works Great. Pleasantly surprised!
I just wanted to have eyes one my car while I’m in the house because I have 3 big dogs and one of them kept jumping all over it. Just been catching him in the act to intervene/train. Problem solved there. But I didn’t expect the night vision/quality to be as good as it is it.. and can see one whole side of my yard. I thought I’d just get a small section. I’d definitely recommend this camera. Heck, I’m getting two more for the side and back. These things turned out ti be pretty neat.

Video quality is awesome
Used this product for a bike ride, the video quality was awesome, the voice recording was also good. the camera captures a wide angle. They are also different resolution which i presume its for the battery life, i used 4K and just used one full battery, cant remember how long it was but done the job. it also has a remote which i thought was good. there are other settings like slow motion and wifi to connect to my phone, which i can wait to use. Have used it much but so far i am impressed. i think it competes with the GOPros so far.

Good for Skype and FaceTime on a Mac
I use a mac mini and it was plug and play. I use it for FaceTime and Skype so I don't really need a whole bunch of controls over the camera. Can they see me? Am I in focus? Yes. Well good to go.Plugged it into a USB hub and while the USB cord is a tad short using a hub made it easy. If you wanted to plug it into rear of Mac Min and have it on the top of your monitor... may have to pay around with placing things. Or get a USB extension cord.All in all works well and audio is fine (according to my friends)

Move Over GoPro!
Ok, thought I'd give a review from an average, non-pro user. This is an amazing action camera that, with an open mind, will make you rethink the way you buy or prefer brand products like GoPro.The image quality for both pictures and videos is awesome in itself but the audio (without the waterproof case of course) is equally fantastic.I am very satisfied with my purchase. It feels, looks and operates like a $500 GoPro but cost much, much less. Get it...you won't be disappointed.P.S. - I'll update later with photos and/or video of my kids at the skate park.

Works Great With HDMI Out to Video Switcher
I use this at church with a video switcher. It has a clean HDMI output. The only thing I don't like is you have to unplug the HDMI cable and close the LCD monitor to turn the power off. A Canon camera that I also use has a power button. You can't close the monitor without unplugging the cable. Well, I tried removing the battery and just running it off the AC adapter. That does, indeed, allow you to turn it off, but you can't turn it back on without closing the LCD monitor and opening it again. But other than that, it's great for my use.

A great upgread
The 40D is a significant improvement over my old 20D. With more dynamic range, a brighter viewfinder ( which is important because in bright light, when my glasses darkened, I could not read the exposure values in the viewfinder. Now they are more visable.I also like the fact that you can replace the focusing screen. The vertical and horizontal lines help you keep the camera lined up with the opjects or horizon.The canon high end lenses are absolutely fantastic. I took a hand held photo of a woodpecker at 20 or 25 feet away and could acually see an insects wings in the woodpecker's mouth.

Great beginners telescope
We replaced this telescope with an older one we had as so far really like it. It was easy to put together. We used it the first night and was able to see the moons details and even got to see Jupiter. The only down fall is, it comes with a remote control so if you load their app and place your phone in the supplied bracket, the remote with control your phones camera to take snapshots of what you are viewing. IF, you have an older phone. We are using Samsung S20 which appears too new for the supported phones. But we don't need that so it's OK for us.

Nice monitor for my truck
I bought this for monitoring my truck when parked at certain events. Even though the battery life is only around 1 hour, when I either had it plugged into my car charger or on a battery pack it lasted until I stopped recording. I would just loop over. I had it recording for around 14+ hours. Granted, I didn't have that much on it due to looping, but on average under 720p and using a 32gb card it would have about 100 five minute clips.I only wish the camera angles were wider (up/down, left/right).
