Worth every penny, and then some!
Great compact gimbal for your smart phone. The build quality is similar to my Weebill Lab. It’s very ergonomic and made of aluminum. It’s a lot more sturdy than other cell phone gimbals made of plastic that I’ve used in the past. The grip has a rubberized coating that helps keep the Smooth Q2 in your hand. The motors are smooth and quiet. The holding mechanism for the phone was able to accept my iPhone X without having to remove my case( a big plus compared to other cell phone gimbals I’ve used.) It’s small footprint helps me get smooth video footage without standing out or getting noticed in a crowd.

Holy Cow
I LOVE this so far. I was actually very surprised by the power it puts out. I got this for about $50 and have been eyeballing a nearly $500 flash for an upcoming wedding, but needed a small one for a birthday party on Saturday. I have never used a flash beside the one on my camera, it it is quite possible that I am just naive to what a flash is capable of. But I really love this flash already, I have had it for less than 24 hours so far. I bought rechargeable Lenmar R2G804U AA batteries for it, and so far I like those as well (for those of you that are researching what type of battery to use with this flash, or others). This flash puts out a lot more power than I expected and will be more than enough for the birthday party I have coming up. I still intend to purchase the larger, more expensive flash for the wedding I need to do later this year, but this one will do for most of the indoor work I need to do. It was super easy to use too. Like I said, I have never used a flash before so I really had no idea if I would be dealing with a learning curve or not in trying to use it. But it was pretty straight forward. It has an on/off switch and power up/down buttons. It also has another option that I have not read the instructions about yet, but it doesn't seem to make a big difference in my photos. Other than that, it is pretty idiot proof. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in getting a flash, especially those who don't have a lot of money to invest in one and are just starting out. It is pretty clear that is is going to work very well for me.

Very solid and cost effective HomeKit compatible C
I was interested in getting a WiFi-cam into my garage as can open and close the door remotely. Other requirements were HomeKit compatibility, the ability to keep access to the cam and video internal or just to my accounts via HomeKit and not loaded to a 3rd party companies servers. Finally, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I was not concerns mounting as I was sure I could figure something out.The Eufy 2k cam more then fit the bill. It is very small and light. While you can connect to the Eufy servers for video and streaming /recording, it also easily connects to HomeKit. When connected to HomeKit, it streams through HK and connects only to my iCloud account. Be aware that you do lose some of the advanced Eufy services, but it is a small price to pay for security. At $25 it is an awesome cam.The quality is really good day and night and with lights on or running with night vision. Initially, I was using its motion detection to turn the overhead garage light on. However, as the vitiosi is video based it almost never went off because when it would shut off (after my 10minute delay), the camera would see that as motion and turn it back on. The only want to turn it off was the shut the light off remotely twice very quickly. That said the night vision is so wood, it does not really need the light to provide a quality image.The cam also provides audio from the room and the ability to speak back through the cam as well.Because it is so light, mounting was super simple. Eufy provides a guide decal for where to drill/put in screws. There is a rotate 180 mode to allow for ceiling mounting. Power is provided be a micro usb.When connected to HomeKit and placed in a room/scene it is also added as a favorite in the room and HK favorites page.

Lots to love, but it's not perfect, nor is it a Fa
Pros:for $120 its got a LOT of value and I believe if it's reliable I'll really like it a lot more as I get a chance to use it more.The $10 External Mic option adds a lot to the audio quality (tho it's Ok but noisier without one if outside the waterproof case) . all the mounting accessories add a LOT to the package. The small sixe and weight are a big plus. The touch screen, EIS, Adjustable, Viewing angle, Human Interface via the screen, the means to quickly check and verify the framing via the Smartphone App are all great.. the dual 1300mah? batteries and charger are super. I like the watchband style remote and it's ease of use. I'm glad that it's possible to upgrade the firmware later.CONs:the same 128GB Sandisk C10 card I used successfully in the AKASO Brave 4 would Format Ok and save Picts but NOT accept video yet there was no error notices of a any Write Speed problem. I was able to resolve this by getting a new $14.00 64GB Faster XC? memory chip. The camera now writes video with the audio just fine with the new chip.I wish you could swap batteries without loosing all your settings.. and that since you can't do that I wish there was a way to save a PRESET config that you could recall and use to re-set up the cam quickly. I wish there were distinctly different Beep tones for starting and then stopping a Video record session cause with the cam mounted on a hatcam it's hard to know if you are recording or not cause there is only one type of beep for both actions. I wish they had not deleted the Motion Sensing option in this version too/

Gets the job done- but a few flaws
Using this product to hold our baby monitor over the crib. I purchased it 2 days ago and was shipped right away. There weren't any instructions, but it's pretty self explanatory. It's meant to be universal for all crib and monitor sizes, but it was not long enough to clamp on the bottom of the bed and nest in the top corner of the crib like I wanted it to. The clamp was also too wide to fit between the crib panels. I was hoping I could conceal it a little bit to not bring too much attention to it, but I had to put it about 2 feet into the air above the crib since it only fit on the top bar of the crib. So now the baby is just fascinated by it and tries to climb the crib to get to the monitor holder. I foresee this being an issue in the near future as he is learning to sit up and pull himself up on his own. Also, it would be very nice if there was a feature to contain the monitor cord closely next to the pole. There are two silicon like pieces on each end of the pole, which I use to maintain the cord. Because it can be bent though the cord does not stay along the side of the pole. You could probably wrap it but I don't want to strain the cord too much. I had to tape the cord down to the pole and the backside of the crib so the baby isn't tempted to pull on the cord and either bring the whole unit down on himself or strangle himself. We got the monitor as a gift... I definitely recommend using a wireless camera only for this product for peace of mind and so you wont have to go through the trouble of concealing the cord yourself for the safety of the baby. It gets the job done though and I like that it is adjustable. I'm giving it 4 stars.

Why had I never heard of the coolest pocket gadget
Can't believe I had not seen this device prior, read the reviews i could find and seemed too good to be genuine. It is!!!!This little firecracker works great. It's been around a long time, don't see why they don't build off this and make several variants, a heavier material one thats waterproof, perhaps metal? maybe one a quarter inch longer thats got 3X magnification. It feels like a plastic toy in your hands and then you turn it on and holy crap cool? It's weird as I initially was turned off by it's lack of weight and plastic feel. I'm a sucker with small quality gadgets, the original metal maglights, the zeiss mini monocular, the "docter" mini monocular, small precision tools, my little kit of small precision gadgetry, I own a bushnell equinox 5x night vision that takes two minutes to calibrate and focus, this I can instantly use to see who is walking by the house without shining a 200 Watt spotlight out my window and giving my neighbours a sunburn and a heart attack. Need more range? Buy a little infrared flashlight for $30 buck and this thing is the bomb, Probably the only reason there hasn't been a Chinese knockoff of this thing is nobody has heard o of it. Good products go unnoticed often because the design is to simple. In this thing came out of a cannon or Nikon shop with a metal casing I don't doubt that this would be in every camera and optics store, and would be a common item to carry. (I ordered two more so my sons can play me a round of high tech night vision hide and seek out at the farm.

Celestron CPC 800 XLT (w/GPS) Telescope -- for the
After researching telescopes, I narrowed the choices down to an SCT (Schmidt-Cassegrain, aka SCT, or "CAT -- for catadioptric), then to anything 8" aperture or larger, and finally chose Celestron over Meade (arguably the top 2 of 3 manufacturers). Celestron has a variety of 8" and larger SCTs. These are powerful, flexible, and ... get this, you can transport this big 'scope to most any site, even at 42 lbs (telescope) and 20 lbs tripod. And when it comes to astronomy, SIZE MATTERS! Try that with a dobsonian 'scope and you will also need a moving van, and friends.I am newly returned to astronomy, and love this machine. System uses GPS and a variety of alignment methods -- read those important instructions FIRST and they do work. In short order I was tracking on a wide variety of objects -- moon, stars, DSO (deep space objects).To learn (and verify) tracking, I found a polar star (stays overhead), and let it track for 6 hours. From the time I centered the star in the eyepiece until the next morning, the CPC 800 kept perfect alignment. The huge object library provides educational "go-to" capability, just understand that the system will limit, and offer to you, what is viewable, not necessarily available.You will receive a 40mm eyepiece, produces 51x magnification. In spite of what you may read, this is a great starter eyepiece, provides a wide field-of-view for amateurs so that you can relate (identify) what you see to what your star chart/planisphere has. I now use a 32mm (x62 mag), and a zoom 8-24mm (250-84 mag). A longer eyepiece focal length makes it easier to see through, but less magnification. The smaller the eyepiece focal length (eg, 6mm) the greater the magnification, but also the more difficult to keep your eye in position (eye-relief), and a much narrower field of view. You will also accumulate color filters for pulling out planetary highlights, and other filters for restricting certain light wavelengths that clutter and obscure your targets. In short, you may likely spend half-again as much on acce$$orie$ !!I bought the Celestron power tank, simplifies power needs no matter where you are, works great. And a DEW SHIELD, to keep moisture off your optical lens. And a 'scope case, and and and.Lots of SCT reading references are available here on Amazon, including anything by Terrenace Dickenson and Alan Dyer, "Turn Left at Orion" (how to find DSO targets), "Choosing and Using a New CAT..." and many others will help you.Bottom line, these are all great things to experiment with, but the basis of your hobby needs to be rock solid, and this CPC 800 is your foundation. It's easy to become frustrated learning astronomy, a trusty 'scope that delivers images beyond our own existence will help keep you engaged, and interested, and may -- even -- help you want to learn more.I am moving up to the CPC 1100 (11 inch monster), so there we are. Dark Skies.ps: if you are looking for astro-photography, the SCT lineups are fabulous for this. But also understand you are taking on 2 serious and expensive hobbies. Not for everyone, just saying.pss: Yes, this telescope is made in China (as are most these days), and the quality is oustanding.

Più stabile di così non si può!
Prima di acquistare questo modello mi sono fatto prestare un 190 a 4 sezioni da un amico e ne sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso.Quando è arrivato il momento di fare l' acquisto ho preso lo 055 per una questione di investimento poichè ci monto sopra una reflex (Canon 70d).Con la testa montata (nel mio caso una MVH502AH) il peso complessivo supera i 4 kg senza contare il peso della camera e dell' obbiettivo! Questo significa che non è proprio una piuma ma appena lo si piazza a terra vi dimenticate di tutta la fatica!Un' altra questione su cui avevo i miei dubbi era la messa in bolla. Utilizzando il treppiede per fare video ero indeciso se prendere il modello per video ma dopo averlo testato su un percorso di auto in montagna mi sono accorto che basta un po' di pratica per imparare a metterlo in bolla senza problemi (anche perchè la bolla della testa ha i suoi limiti mentre le gambe del treppiedi praticamente non ne hanno).Ha proposito delle gambe ritengo un suo punto di forza i suoi 3 angoli di apertura e il sistema decisamente migliorato della colonna centrale.Qunidi lo consiglio vivamente a tutti coloro che girano con reflex e perchè no anche a chi gira con camere più pesanti tipo RED o Alexa! Ciao!
