Great gimbal for the money
This is my first gimbal of any kind, and I am very pleased with it. Took it on a trip to get some better quality videos out of my camera, and was not disappointed. I think this is a great value.Pros:- works as expected, keeping the camera steady while moving, walking and panning- quiet motors- excellent battery life- handy joystick for correcting / adjusting motion- phone app allows additional control of certain settings, e.g. how quickly the individual axes should converge to where you want the cam to be when panning (speed of "follow") etc.Cons:- manual is a bit skimpy, but contains enough info to get going- the design of the bracket holding the cam could be improved a little -- having to switch out a dead battery in a camera is not a fast process, and getting the bracket back on can be especially challenging (holding the gimbal, the cam and the bracket with one hand while trying to thread the screw into the bracket with the other hand -- there's gotta be an easier way)- turning the gimbal on or off takes several seconds of pressing and holding of the power switch; wish the switch was either a slider or simply worked fasterI made a mistake of assuming that the on-off switch doubles as a remote trigger for the camera (since it has a red dot painted on it), without verifying that it actually is one. Would be great if it were -- the manual makes no mention of it. If anyone knows how to get that button on the gimbal to work with e.g. a GoPro Hero 5/6 as a record button, do share!There is also an undocumented mini-USB port on the bracket. Having learned my lesson about assumptions, I'm *not* going to assume that it is for charging the cam from the gimbal while it is in use. If it is in fact for that, someone will have to point me to an adapter that is male mini-USB on one end and usb-C on the other.

High quality Selfie Light!
The media could not be loaded.
This is a really nice little selfie light for anyone who wants to look their best on the cam. I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend, who is an amateur singer and has a small Youtube and Facebook following. She basically was using a rigged up mini desk light to clip on her phone for selfies and videos.Now she has this Selfie light which really upped her game to another level. The videos come out as if done professionally in a studio almost! She is really happy with it. It is very light weight and can be turned to different angles. It also has different light settings so you can adjust the brightness.It comes with a charging cable, for easy power charge inbetween use. For the money, I highly recommend this product to anyone who is active on social media, a social media influencer, or anyone who just wants to look good in front of the camera while taking pictures or chatting to friends, family and loved ones.This makes a perfect Christmas, birthday, or Valentine's Day gift!

Love it so far
I bought this, knowing it was an entry level. Having only minimal knowledge of photography, I didnt want to spend a ton of money, and I wanted something I could handle. After doing a ton of research and talking to mom and pop photo shops (they always seem to know and understand more than the people at like Best Buy or Fry's) and professional photographer friends, I settled on this one. I am so in love. I find myself constantly taking pictures. I have spent tons of time reading and watching tutorials on how to use the camera and have learned SO much. Pictures I have taken 2 weeks ago are horrible compared to the ones I take now, after understanding what to do, what settings to use and what ISO vs shutter speed etc mean. I am looking at getting additional lenses, but I think my T3 and I are going to be buds for a long time! So happy with it!My only qualm is there is not additional battery pack support with this model.

Tried so many monitors and this is by far the best
Since my daughter was born two years ago, I’ve invested in my time and money to find a good monitor that checks all the boxes and i finally found this!Easy to set up. Clear night vision. Accurate and has voice detector. I like that it sleeps when there is no noise and then turns back on when it detects a soundYou can control the volume. It’s durable and charges fast. It comes with a long charging cable.You can install the phone app for monitoring the device too and you can add more than one deviceThe camera can be controlled and rotated from the monitor base itself. It gives a very wide angleThe only thing missing on this is time! I wish it had a clock for the time. I need thay when my baby starts crying at night so i end up using my phone. If it had a clock then it would’ve been a complete package. With that, i will still give it 5 stars cause I currently love it and recommend it to all.

Nice telescope
I've used this telescope for about four months. I am not a serious astronomer - I just gaze for fun. Note that I also purchased a Celestron accessory kit with additional eyepieces. These are the eyepieces I have been using. Here is how I rate the telescope:My first point: I never use the computerized positioning system. Unless you are planning to spend many hours stargazing - and you have a place to gaze far from city lights - I believe you probably won't either. It takes too long to set up correctly. And most of the hard to find things like nebula require a viewing area far from any light pollution. I downloaded the free Skyview app for my iPad and I use that to find what planets are in the viewing area. It is a very cool and very simple app. Just hold your iPad to the sky and it identifies what you're looking at and what the course of the planet is.The telescope itself does a damn good job of gathering light. You may want to make sure you have some filters for when you're viewing a full moon as it can be very bright through this telescope. It is easy to see the moons around Jupiter and the rings around Saturn. It would be great to be able to magnify the images more but I believe that requires a longer focal length telescope.The hand held motorized mount works great.It has a great finding scope that works like a charm once you calibrate it. And calibration is easy. Once done, you just look through the finder scope and put the little red dot over the planet using the hand control.The tripod is reasonably sturdy but you will get vibrations through it at the higher magnifications.One downside to this telescope is the cover to the battery compartment. It pops off when you don't want it to and the batteries fall out.Overall, this is a nice telescope. Based on the fact that I don't bother with the computerized alignment system, if I were to buy over, however, I would have bought a manual Dobsonian mount telescope. This would have given me an 8" lens with a longer focal length for greater light gathering and magnification for the same money.

No regrets
We've been using Arlo for the last few years and although we've had many issues with it not recording, having devices replaced etc, we didn't want to make a switch and have the same issues. I wish we had switched to Ring years ago! The picture quality, picture range, motion settings and app features are all an enormous improvement. I like that the app allows you to connect with neighbors so you know what is happening within the radius you set. Whether it's packages being stolen, found/missing pets or even good deeds caught on camera. The talk feature is really convenient and being able to hear what is happening, is really nice. We have all of our cameras and doorbells connected to the Echo Show, which was easy to set up. It's nice having the audible notification and to be able to pull up the visual if my phone is nearby. I will update if things change, however at this moment, I don't see that happening.

Overall Solid Watch
I love the mid tier watches and this is one super solid. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the high/enthusiast tier watches have but this watch is all I really need.I only have 2 minor complaints about watch. Firstly the wristband it comes with is marks up my skin like crazy I'd recommend finding a new band for it. Secondly was trying to get it connect with the QR code on the watch display. My camera could not read the QR code from the watch so I had to take a picture of the QR code and load the image up on my PC to be able to scan it. Besides those 2 things though I love everything else.I also had a problem with the watch suddenly stopped charging 11 months in but the customer support was super fast and awesome. I have received a replacement watch within 6 days of my first email to customer support and could of been quicker if I responded to their messages faster.Overall I am very happy with the GTR3.

Excellent portable scope
This is a good quality small telescope that is very easy to set up and use. Including mounting to an old camera tripod ( which is not necessary, the scope comes on a good mini Dob mount) I had mine up and running in about 15 minutes. I have only been able to make brief observations so far using a maxvision 20 mm eyepiece, but the images of stars and a ( very tiny) Saturn confirmed that the scope has good well-collimated optics. The package includes 20 and 10mm eyepieces which are OK to begin with. Add a 2X Barlow or 5mm eyepiece for better views of the moon and planets. Red dot finder is easy to install and align, but a bit awkward to use. Fitting a conventional finderscope may not be easy because of the non-standard mounting arrangements.All in all, this is an excellent little " grab and go " scope, and as such, is likely to be used extensively by beginners and enthusiasts alike. I believe this actual instrument is the same as the Skywatcher Heritage 100p, so choice between the two can be based on price and included accessories. In fact, I have one of each in different locations!

Great system for a Great price!
I have tried a number of different systems but the ARLO by Netgear has been outstanding. Battery life is about 90 to 100 days, clear picture, nice video clips and all managed by either my laptop or Android phones. I purchased the skins to help hide the cameras in my fake plants and unless you know where they are you cannot see the cams. The system was so easy to set up I couldn't believe it and after purchasing the initial system I added another cam. The price is right but more importantly the system works as advertised and you will NOT be disappointed! I would like to see Netgear's R & D department put together a night light that works as a night light and also doubles as a security camera that operates off an electrical outlet thereby eliminating the need for batteries as this would be great for any room or hallway where there's an outlet. I'll be the first to buy one if they make one for sale! My cams in the plants; not the best pics, but can you see the cams?
