Best bang for the buck, not splashproof
I also owned a Karma Gimbal, but returned it because it was too buggy, and the iSteady was a better design for my use.I mostly use this gimbal for recording bouldering with a GoPro. I mount the gimbal on the end of a large monopod so the camera can be lifted about 20' in the air. The gimbal keeps the camera nice and level. This means that I want a 1/4 20 lug on the bottom of the grip which this gimbal has, unlike the Karma gimbal. This gimbal can also stand up on its own unlike the Karma gimbal.The app is also neat, but I don't end up using it much.Battery life is excellent compared to the karma.The thumb screws can be a bit fiddly at first, but once you get used to them it's not bad.I broke it. It doesn't like salt water (duh). I was hanging it over the side of a boat at the end of the monopod. It took a decent size splash and the pitch axis died. I could feel heat from the axis cover and the grip. I saw no smoke at the time. Once I got it home I popped the cover off the side and pulled the axis controller board out. There is visible damage to the PCB and what's left of some component after letting the magic smoke out (I guess I just didn't see the smoke at the time).So I broke it. My fault.I still recommend this gimbal very highly.If you can keep it dry, at $99 it is an amazing gimbal.If you can't keep it dry, maybe you need a $200 gimbal.

Gute Überwachungskamera für die Sicherheit
Nach zwei Wochen Benutztung würde ich 5 Sterne für dieses Produkt geben. Es ist sehr einfach zu montieren. Durch starke magnetische Verbindung kann man die Kamera von der Basis trennen und auf der Basis zu stellen. Die Verbindung mit APP ist auch super einfach. Es gibt viele AI Funktionen in APP, damit man die Überwachungsbereich, Empfindlichekeit und Ziel Objekten einstellen kann. Am wichtigesten ist die Dauer des Akkus. Mit 52% Akku Stand habe ich die Camera schon zwei Wochen draußen in Betrieb gelassen, jetzt gibt es noch 21% Akku. Mir ist mega zufieden. Für die Nutzer, die immer Video von der Aufzeichnung nachschauen möchten, empfehle ich die VicoHome cloud Service zu abonieren, dann braucht man keine extra Speicherkarte.

Product was as advertised. Customer service was a
I am just getting back into photography after a 25 year absence. I had my doubts about this lense but the price point was the issue I needed to resolve. I was also not sure I could run my new Canon rebel SL3 manually. I had it only two days and was on a steep learning curve. When I pulled the lense out of the box I was impressed by the quality compared to the price. The real satisfaction was Big Mike's Electronics went the extra mile with a seven page insert they wrote and supplied. This document walked me through the setup and common errors made by first time users. Within thirty minutes the lense was installed. The camera was configured in manual mode and was taking incredible outdoor photos. They are in focus, clean, sharp, and exposed perfectly. The extra service with the instruction manual made the difference. Big Mike's Electronics will be on my list to check first next time I need a product.

Great product with awesome new security facility
Replaced an existing garage door opener and the replacement took about 3 hours, with a single person. Two people could have done it in less than 1 hour. Easy steps and directions to follow, with the quick setup guide along with the manual itself. The video quality provided is accurate, clear, nice wide field of vision and nice colors day or night. Only short coming is the fact that the camera is static, and cannot be rotated for different angles, so manually select the best possible angle for your setting. Mush quieter with the belt then my previous garage door opener which had a chain. I really enjoy the ring interaction, making sure that a single user interface can provide feedback on multiple devices and quickly view the state of security in the house. Plus my favorite item, are the rules we can set. Making sure that at 9pm, for example, the garage door will close if it is open. Better then finding the garage exposed to everyone all night long when you get up.

Amazing customer support
Edit: After seeing this review, the Eufy team reached out to me and immediately replaced my monitor (again). Their customer service is truly unrivaled, I imagine that my experience is pretty unusual.Original review: This monitor works like a dream out of the package. I purchased it because of its Wirecutter review. After less than a year, my monitor would not hold a charge and emitted strange noises (after no abuse and only necessary charging with included cables/adapters). Camera worked great still.Customer service quickly and generously sent a replacement of entire system immediately.Second set worked perfectly until about 10 months later, monitor again will not hold a charge, beeps for dead battery even when plugged in and charging. Will charge for 10+ hrs and immediately die when taken off charger.I want to love this product, and I seem to be a case of extreme bad luck, but it happened twice and I do wish I had made a different choice of monitor.

Dalla foto sembrava più grande ma è molto organizz
Uno zaino molto carino, non ha grandi dimensione ma grazie agli scomparti interni permette di organizzare a secondo delle necessità, Io ho messo dentro una Canon 1100D, un Flash YN-568EX II, due obbiettivi (un 55-250 e un 50), 8 filtri polaroid in due borselli, il telecomando a filo, il diffusore del flash, 8 pile amazon con custodie, il lettore di card per l'ipad, un powebank, il caricabatteria canon, la Xioami Yi camera, i cavi per usb e le memory card. Grazie alla sacca a scomparsa ho potuto anche metterci in modo comodo il treppiede della reflex e il modopiede della Yi.Il prezzo è davvero basso per qualcosa di cosi comodo, purtroppo però non è impermeabile e con il calore diventa come un forno.

Happy with this purchase
The first thing I have to say in this review is that this thermal imager is the greatest high-performance I have seen on my end of the market.it's only $409.99 but the IR resolution is 220 X 160. if the same resolution of other brands are more $2000. I have purchased this as I needed to detect heat signatures from circuit board failures at my company. I had a few run-ins with the Flir models which my co-workers brought in, but in my opinion, this gets the job done just right for me. I made a bold claim by saying it's probably the best out there, thanks for the very reasonable price .I've introduced this product to my workers and friends, who have said it was outstanding and worth my buy. It also puts pride in my soul to see other coworkers who purchased Flir and other thermal camera models come to me for mine. I recommend anyone who basically needs to detect heat or life to get these for home or electric inspection.

Worked as anticipated
Wireless microphoneDelivery time was as promised. Well packaged. Really like the storage case. Tested both microphones one each phone—android / iPhone. Used Open Camera for android with settings found on web for connecting external mic. Worked the way it should. Distance was good and sound I think is good. Battery life I am still testing. iPhone connection worked also. The instructions say that you cannot use both mic s at same time because of signal. I have not tested but I will to see distance requirements. I would like to use both for separate recording at large event like conference or gala. I also purchased to use for outside recording where on phone mic picks up ambient noise and wind. So far sound is much better. Size mic works for passing to others without distraction. I looked at a lot of choices and this one works as expected for me for value.

Inexpensive, VERY BRIGHT, no color change, does no
This wasn't exactly what I hoped it would be, but I've learned to use it in a way that works for my purpose. Firstly, I did not pay attention when I ordered it. I thought it rotated, but it does not. That's my fault, not the manufacturer's. The light is clear and does not change color, which was the main reason I wanted it. The light is VERY bright and concentrated in one spot. It's too intense for my purpose (I have a solution). If I set a clear bottle of liquid on top, it looks gorgeous in person but my camera doesn't like it at all. I get lots of hot spots in my photography no matter how many adjustments I make. To work around this, I cover the light with a piece of sheer sticky tape, or sometimes I'll lay a piece of lightweight white fabric over it. Anything to diffuse the light and take down the intensity a bit. All in all, I think this little gadget is absolutely worth the price.
