This gimbal is a great investment
I purchased the SteadyPro 2 for a variety of uses....selfie narrations, volunteer video compilations for an organization I volunteer for, steady pans and a solid hyperlapse platform.The battery unit works well and holds a charge a good long time. I have not yet used it to serve as a power source for my GoPro when attached, but know it is going to be very helpful when in the field, given the always frustrating shortness of their rechargeable batteries.I did find the documentation for the unit fairly slim and relied to some degree on informational videos on YouTube to get up to speed.I also discovered a couple of things:1- Initial charging of the battery was taking forever. I started out attaching it via a USB cable between the unit and a powered USB port on my computer, and after trial and error discovered that it is better to use a USB wall plug to cable connection for charging. Then the charge time is much closer to the roughly 90 minutes or so for an initial charge.2- I was initially having troubles getting the joystick button to do its job of rotating and tilting the camera when pressed but after numerous tries discovered that the problem was mine. I was trying to push the top and bottom edge of the button to activate tilts, and right and left edges for pans. Finally I discovered that you push the entire button up, down, right or left....and not just an edge to make it work.It is also clear that for best stabilization, the secret is to make sure your action camera has image stabilization activated. That, coupled with the additional stabilization provided by the Pro2 produces quite good stability.I am looking forward to getting much more stable hand held footage for my projects and again, am quite happy with the combination of features and price. My only reason for not giving this five stars was rather skimpy documentation in both the packaged instructions and Hohem's online tutorials. I'd suggest adding notes about best methods for charging and making it clearer how the joystick button functions.

This is a great value...
I bought the Pro for the new time lapse video capability.PROS: The multiple 'angles' (wide, narrow zoom range) makes it a versatile tool in the work that I do. Photo quality is good as is video as long as lighting is good. I also like the compact form factor... making it easy to carry around. I often keep it in my pocket for that reason.CONS: The front button switches between modes. When they added the time elapsed video, you can select it from the touch screen, but not initially from the front button. Strangely, you can select it from the screen, then it appears in the front button sequence. Also, I've noticed that the camera will hang when recording video in the lowest resolution AND narrowest angle AND in bright light. It's just that combination, otherwise it works in all the other combinations of modes and settings.Overall, well worth the price, especially considering all the accessories that come with it.

Tres bon SAV
Impossible de faire fonctionner la camera quand elle est dans le boîtier etanche.Les boutons du boîtier n exerce aucune pression sur ceux de la caméra.Emmené en Égypte pour filmer les poissons aucun résultat grosse déception . Matériel a fuirSuite a cet avis l équipe Wolfang a pris contact avec moi , il es en est résulté un grand professionnalisme avec réponse et proposition rapides et très honnête en ma faveur, je ne m'attendais pas du tout à cela. Vraiemment une enseigne très sérieuse qui a su me faire oublier ma déception premiere . J'ai refait confiance et je prospérité a cette start up. Merci de votre effort si rare de nos jours

Off grid security and nature stalking
My new favorite toy for our cabin - mounted this to a tree in a discreet location, sure I can’t monitor it remotely, but it lets me see what has been going on at my place while I’ve been away. So far nothing too interested, but we did catch a local sheriff coming by one night for a safety check which was nice to see (wildfire in the area). I included a picture of the night time performance and daytime - you can see the quality is pretty high.I do wish it had a rechargeable battery pack or option, the wall of AA batteries is a little annoying, but you can use rechargeable ones. The app is not the most intuitive, but the WiFi connection is awesome so you don’t need cables and really don’t even need to be able to reach the camera at all to view its recordings. Recommended!

Nice rangefinder for the money.
There are many things I like about this rangefinder and a few “improvements” in my opinion that might make it even better… then again maybe not. lolThis is all purely subjective to me.Pros: Very light weightExcellent optical qualityGood carry case constructionEasy to gripStraightforward menu systemEasy slope on/offThe scanning feature is nice for hazards or making sure you don’t hit the 4’some in front of you.AccurateAuto shut off, one click of the read button and you’re back in business.Nice easy to read red display w/ adjustable brightness. Black displays are difficult for me to see in shadows or against trees in the background. No issues here!Can be used for more than golf. I wouldn’t hesitate to take it bowhunting.Cons:It’s very light weight. If you’re a little shaky like me it’ll be somewhat difficult to lock on the flag at greater distance or in high wind.Build quality is somewhat suspect. The plastic doesn’t feel cheap but definitely not confident if it was dropped on a hard surface that it would survive.A lens cloth would have been nice.Flag locking isn’t great. I always “measure twice, cut once” and that seems to work best. I tried other rangefinders at “the store” and it’s about even with all the other brands. It will read distances beyond the flag but it’s pretty obvious when it’s wrong.If you have large hands, trying to hold steady while trying to get distance with both hands will take some getting used to. I wear a L/XL glove (more on the XL side).There’s a couple other small things but I’m sure you get the idea. Overall I’m happy with this rangefinder in this price range. I learned to play golf before rangefinders. You look, judge the distance and club, play on! I bought this one to help better learn about my game and improve which it’s doing well at that!

Extremely Bright and compact
I bought these lights for some projects that involve either me being on camera or taking pictures of products. The max height of the lights are probably the size of your hand down to your elbow. They are great length and go into storage into a fairly small foldable stand and the light portion unscrews which have made it easy to travel for work events. If you want a bigger stand, you can always screw the light portion onto a bigger stand. They have a USB connection with no adapter which is great and it can be connected to a battery pack for your phone and then they become portable.I’m impressed with the amount of dimmable light these small lights give off is great especially for the value of it. The lights come with the interchangeable light color filter as well and it’s pretty convenient that they have a small hole on top so you can string all the colors together so you don’t loose it.

Best home security option
This product is amazing. It stands out from the competition by far between available options for add-ons and quality. My friend has the blink system set up so I was able to really compare the two and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. I have just the Arlo essential outdoor camera which is a base model and it picks up motion from 20ft +. Quality of video is great and it’s two hundred feet give or take from my WiFi router with instant connectivity. Night vision allows me to see all the way down my driveway which is very long. App is very user friendly as well. Working so often I feel much more secure knowing I can see my house dependably any time I want, or that I will get an alert if someone is approaching.

You get what you pay for! Super clear footage and
Got one for use on holiday, first impressions are good. The footage of myself and my son on zip lines in Mexico is amazing. We used it whilst snorkeling and were really happy with the results.The first issue that I have is that the battery life is quite limited, I got about an hour and a half on a full charge. I bought a spare to overcome this but it's still something to be aware of if you have a full day of action.My second problem came after a few days when I found that one of the tabs had snapped on the frame that carries the camera, I had only been snorkeling in the sea at this point so I have no idea how this happened. I looked into this and found that it's quite a common problem. Amazon are changing the case for me and I am going to buy a third party replacement case with stronger tabs.All in all I am really happy with my purchase.

Hochwertig mit mega Sound
Der gelieferte Konferenzlautsprecher kommt gut verpackt und unbeschadet an. Mit dabei ist eine Trageschlaufe, Tragetasche und mehrere Anleitungen.Schon beim auspacken überzeugt der Lautsprecher aufgrund seiner hervorragenden Verarbeitung und wertigen Qualität. Und er sieht mit seinem Stoffbezug und den Lichtern wirklich klasse aus!Verbinden kann man ihn mittels USB-A oder BT, beides geht in sekundenschnelle und das Gerät wurde sofort erkannt allerdings benötigt man eine App mit dem Namen Namen Lens, die ist aber schnell heruntergeladen und man muss sich noch nicht einmal anmelden, einfach verbinden und schon kann man alles einstellen, sogar diverse Sprachassistenten. Aber auch die Touchtasten am Gerät funktionieren einwandfrei und reagieren sofort.Der Sound ist einfach mega! Stimmen sind glasklar zu hören, schon fast als wäre die Person mit im Raum. Aber auch meine Konferenzpartner konnten mich wunderbar und ohne Störungen verstehen, hierfür gibt es auch eine Geräuschunterdrückung. Selbst Musik spielt das kleine Gerät mit ordentlich Bass ab (kann in der App sogar noch eingestellt werden). Es ist also nicht nur für Konferenzen geeignet sondern auch für Filme und Musik.Der Akku sollte laut Hersteller etwa 20 Stunden halten, ich habe ihn aber am PC hängen daher kann ich dies nicht beurteilen. Für die Verbindung ist ein USB-A Kabel am Gerät verbunden, dieses muss nur noch an den PC/Laptop angeschlossen werden.Fazit: hier bekommt ein ein qualitativ sehr hochwertiges Produkt welches im vollem Umfang überzeugt! Ich würde den Konferenzraumlautsprecher auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.
