I've had GoPro's since the 3. Was not really interested in the 5th version since it didn't seem to offer much improvement and due to it's new form factor it won't fit my expensive dome set-up, which I like to use for those over-under water shots. And the BOSS in my Sony X3000 is better than the electronic stabilization found here.But I am very picky! And I am kind of sick of having to jam the unit inside a case each time. It's an extra step in my busy life that I just don't need. I took the plunge and tested it out:1. ES is not bad. BOSS is still better but this does 2.7K @ 60fps and man that is just the best GoPro footage I've ever seen.2. I like being able to shoot RAW photos. The point of these action cams is on the fly action capture so I will still use Burst most of the time (the JPEGs from this are pretty good) but will use RAW single when I can (it's only in wide mode so pictures, even corrected, can be a challenge but at the right situation still good)3. The menu is brand new so still figuring it out, but so far I like it. And once set-up you can leave it alone. Button on right moves between video, photo, burst, and then time-lapse. Pretty quick to cycle between.I think I will keep my Hero4 Silver for use in the dome. The photographic potential of the GoPro is probably still well behind even the most basic of Canon Rebel, Nikon 5300, and Sony RX100 type cameras, so it's not worth the extra expense to replace that. For video, however, this is really nice. I often like to wear my GoPro on my forehead and the form factor is a million times better than my Sony X3000 (I'll use that for "chesty" and handheld stuff).Wish list: GoPro 6 will have mechanical stabilization and photography will catch up the the basic Rebel type of camera.

I was skeptical at first that this would carry the same features / quality of the bigger brand action cameras - side by side comparisons show very few differences. I must say so far I am blown away (though still in the early testing phases). Photos are magnificent, with just a few in the "blur" category that could be quickly discarded. Video appears to be stable - I've yet to do any post editing, but looks good as is. I don't use audio internal/external (or haven't yet) but I do know in case all audio functions are off - which is not surprising but worth point out.The quality of the case and just amazing amounts of attachments right out of the box was the real surprise. I do think that's probably where smaller brands have issues competing with the big boys. I do think if you're using something every day for action footage / underwater use, and trying to post frequently to a media site you may end up with quicker wear / tear - but it does what it says for my purposes. Kept the water out / a couple of drops with no terrible scuffing and dents - and again, mount it to your bike, helmet, tripod - with multiple attachments and ways to attach for each (in / out of case; front mount helmet; top mount; bike low / bike bar).I plan to really TEST it this week - putting it through the rigors and testing battery life, but first impressions are often most important - will update with battery life and any glaring concerns. I must admit at a quarter of the cost of mid-tier (offering less specs no less) / a tenth of the cost of the pro-tier (same specs)...so far, its really incredible value!If others want to stay relevant - they might want to pick up some design / cost pointers from Akaso.

I have had this monitor for a year and I am happy to say that no other monitor compares. I have two cameras (purchased an additional one). I wanted to get this monitor and not another (less expensive) monitor because I absolutely did not want anything that could be accessed via wifi. I have read too many horror stories of someone hacking into the monitor. The picture quality is great and if you get a different lense (we use the wide angle in my daughter’s room) it changes the perspective, but keeps the quality.Ok one thing that many people have complained about, the battery. What I have learned. My monitor was the 2017 version and after about 6 months the quality was going down and I was considering purchasing a new battery or finding some other kind of solution. Instead I contacted customer service because there is a warranty so why not? I spoke with someone who helped me troubleshoot the battery and those tips did work..for a few months. Then I say after having problems with the battery again, it wouldn’t hold a charge for longer than 90 minutes. After following the trouble shooting tips, I contacted customer service. After emailing back and forth with them it was decided that I would send back the monitor and battery to get a replacement. There were only two downsides with this one, I had to pay to send back the monitor and two they wouldn’t send the new monitor until I sent them proof that I had sent the old monitor. So I was without a monitor for three days. I now have the 2019 version of the monitor and the difference in the battery quality is night and day. Most days I can charge it once and it lasts until I go to bed. I’m incredibly happy with the new monitor and even more impressed with the customer service. If you are having battery issues contact them as they will help you. If you are in the fence about this monitor system, just buy it. It’s so worth the price!

Took me a few tries to get the source photo to the point that the result was as I wanted it. The picture quality is good, but contrast was way too high, darks too dark and bright parts too yellow/greenish. Got the adjustments over two more prints and have now an idea what I need to do to a photo I want to print.I find value for money to be okay given that a single print costs about $1 these days. For me, it's worth it, but others might think differently. It's certainly MUCH better value for money than any of the Instax cams that print any shot without the option of cropping or checking colors beforehand. I would NEVER use one of these, got this one because my old Instax SP2 was damaged by old Instax film. See note below.Overall, I like the size of the printer, it's smaller than the older ones, I don't like that I can't print directly from the Fuji cameras anymore, I do like that image quality overall for what it is and just in general it's a fun device.NOTE: Do NOT use old (expired for a longer time, e.g. three years in my case) film. The "paper" broke when printing and the chemicals/ink smeared the inside of the mechanism so that any subsequent print was smeared. I took the printer apart to clean and let me tell you: they are made to throw away, not to repair. The layout, scew placement, different screw lenghts, convoluted mess is NOT repair friendly at all. If you thought an iPhone was hard to repair, don't ever open one of these. They are throw away items when damaged.

I bought this product with a second camera when my second child was born because my previous baby monitor (infant optics) wasn’t the greatest and I was hoping this would be better. My previous monitor wouldn’t hold battery anymore after a little over 1 year. I know I could have gotten a new battery, but for how much it cost, it should have lasted longer. Also on my old monitor, the signal wouldn’t reach to my garage sometimes when I worked out and it would always freak out if it came near my phone. So I decided to buy this one instead and…..I LOVE IT.For the price, it’s amazing. The quality of the video isn’t the greatest but it works. I don’t need a sharp, perfect picture of my children. I just need to be able to see if they are ok in their bedrooms. The signal to this monitor reaches four houses down my street so I can play outside with my older kid while the younger one naps. We have had this monitor now for a year and a half and I don’t usually take the time to review things. But I’m leaving a review is because the customer service is amazing!!!We just went on vacation and someone stole my the monitor piece at our hotel. They probably thought it was a phone but they only took the monitor so I had two cameras that did not work without the monitor. I was so upset. Online there is no way to buy the monitor separately, so I emailed them to see if I could buy it. They responded immediately and sent me a free one with proof of purchase. I am amazed. I have never gotten such a quick response from a company like this!! The best customer service ever.

This is a great monitor for those not wanting to use their phones! You can see well, you can move it or take it to travel easily and the battery lasts a reasonably long time. It is pretty easy for babysitters to use too-I just made a quick cheat sheet for the lesser tech savvy sitters. There is a great function: “power saving” where the screen will turn off unless there is a loud sound-great for when the parents are sleeping! The only complaint we have is that the temperature gage is and always has been COMPLETELY inaccurate. Right now in my daughters room it is 73 degrees and her monitor is showing 80 degrees. It has given us several scares, (some temp differences being over ten degrees), so we had to buy a separate thermometer for our daughters room. That is the only complaint we have, so overall we are really happy with this monitor! We like that we could add other cameras on to it once we have more than one child, so we will have to see how the switch camera function works!Two year update: we have loved the monitor, it’s easy for us and babysitters to use. A week ago the monitor screen died, it wouldn’t show anything and would blink and not turn off. We tried everything to reset it. I contacted customer service and they were AMAZING! They were quick to respond and help me by giving me tips to try to fix it. When we had tried everything possible to revive it, our customer service rep Nick (thank you!) sent us a new monitor expedited overnight shipping. Overall it was like a two day process and I couldn’t be more grateful! It’s so hard to be without a monitor and worry about your kids but Moonybaby did a great job of helping out. We will be buying more of these for baby number two!

Impression: I wasn't expecting this to be a professional tool that would last me for several years (it isn't LOL), but it's surprised me how durable it is. It's it's horribly cheap or flimsy like I half expected. Been about 1.5 years now and it still works perfect. It hasn't broken yet at least LOLQuality: Decent. Material isn't super great quality but it isn't terrible flimsy plastic. Parts are reasonably thick enough to provide adequate support for my phone. Don't try a DSLR, it'll probably collapse it. Digital cameras may be iffy depending on the weight. Legs are thick enough to provide stability when placing the phone on it.Stability: Indoors, it's great. Doesn't move until you move it, very portable and light weight but still works as intended. Outdoors, I can see potentially how it can fail if a very strong wind blows and it may collapse. Especially if you expand it to its full height. More resistance to the wind, and not enough resistance at the base. Recommended to put something to hold down the base if you're going to do any outdoor photography and use this as a tripod.Portability: Very light, easy to expand and retract. I put it away after very use, and it's very easy to pull it back out and set it up againHeight: It was actually taller than I expected. Description does say it goes to 4ft, but I wasn't actually expecting it to be capable of doing it. When I first purchased online, I thought beyond 3ft, the stick would be too thin and the whole thing would break or collapse if I tried to max it out. BUT IT WORKED. I've been usually using it at max height for all my shoots and it works fine.Things I liked: I actually really liked the snap buttons that locked the height increases. Easy to use, no hassle with trying to turn buttons or knobs.Price: Decent for the quality I gotWord of advice: Don't buy if you're expecting professional industry quality tripod. Go to a camera store for that, seriously. For the average user, this works fine.

I purchases this monitor in June of 2020. There are a lot of great features. I have children in two rooms on a different floor so I needed a monitor with two baby units. It is easy to use and toggles nicely back and forth between the cameras. I don't like the split screen as much, so I just use the automatic switching feature. I like that the screen and sound shut off unless there is noise from one of the rooms. You can play music or white noise for your children and it also has a nightlight, all controlled from the parent unit. You can talk to your children as well. The image may not be as crisp as some other monitors I have tried, but it is more than adequate to see what is going on day or night. The absolute best feature of this monitor, however, is the customer service. A few months after I purchased it, the parent unit would not turn on. Not sure why. I emailed Babysense and after troubleshooting a bit, they sent me a new parent unit very quickly. A few weeks ago, the signal between the units started to be weakening. I had to go very close to the baby units for the monitor to connect. I started to despair, especially because it had now been a year and the warranty should have been expired. I decided to take a chance and email Babysense anyway, to ask how to potentially boost the signal. Once again, they very helpfully tried to troubleshoot it with me. When none of the tips worked, imagine my surprise when they offered to send me a new unit! I was truly blown away by their kindness. We all know how important these baby monitors are for peace of mind, and I was dreading having to purchase yet another expensive one. I am so thankful to Babysense and recommend them highly
