I have been spending way to much buying disposable batteries, and standard rechargeables. Because of that, I ordered this 8000mAh lithium battery with 3W solar charger on it. It will pay for itself in no time. To me, the fact that the solar charger is adding energy to the battery every day keeps them in much better shape. As typical batteries run low, they are damaged by over discharge. Then by the time I revisit them, they had been dead for days and will never charge up to the same capacity if they will charge at all. I have NOT seen in the small manual that this has low voltage protection, but the fact that there is still power in the battery after several consecutive cloudy days is a large improvement. The LED status lights show I still have between 50% an 75% left in them. I am toying with the idea of getting a few more of these so I can go ahead and swap out the one in the field with one I know is fully charged. If I plan on being in the field for several hours, I have taken one back to the truck to top it off using power from the truck battery. It indecates it will handle a 5V 2A input so make sure your USB charger can put out that much so it will charge as fast as possible.I also like that this product has 3 different voltage outputs ports. 6V/4A, 9V/2.6A and 12V/2A, and the corrasponding power cables. So as technology changes I have a few options. I also like that this product came with a 4.9ft tree strap and bracket to change its location easily, and can be mounted more permanently with screws if you so like. It also has 2 standard tripod sockets, (one center back and center bottom). It also includes a 3 inch extension that lets you twist and turn the solar panel so it receives the maximum amount of sun light.The only thing I wish this was capable of doing is to have a standard USB Type-C input/output port to charge a cellphone in emergencies. I know I can get a cable that will use the 12V/2A output to a 12V cigarette lighter socket, and use a common 12V to 5V USB charger to do the job. This in no way is a deal breaker but it would have made it perfect. That being said, this product does what it says it will do so I am giving it a 5 Star review. Ok, one last thing directed to the manufacturer/seller, if this product has a low voltage protection please tell us.

Bugani M90 Bluetooth Speaker.As you see in the photos it is much bigger than my little red VITM speaker attached to my big lunch box cooler, via velcro.That little vitm speaker has loud highs, so I could listen to talk radio or instructionls if I was assigned a truck with no radio (or old radio with no aux port) for the day.Perfect for that use (speech) in a big rig with loud deisil engine and loose rattling doors. But when I was in the mood for music, it just lacked the needed bass, and I think the only way to get that extra base on a budget is with a bigger unit (bigger speakers)I was attracted to the (easy see) buttons. You need only glance at it for less than a second, and your eyes are back on the road again (even faster than a familliar radio in a dashboard) and a bazillion times faster than a strange unfamilliar dashboard radio. This was important and a big selling point.Handle of course is also hi-vis reducing chance of accidently leave it behind, whether vacating truck or leaving the park (was another selling point)The handle is also flexable soit wont break if bumped hard.Handle is also removable via screws if you don't like it, or want to plastidip it in a different color, replace with a custom soft strap, etc...Sound...Keep in mind, many speakers need a "break in" time to start sounding better.Movement of the speakers can be stiff when new, and need play time to loosen up.The bass sound, for my needs, mostly in a truck cab, is well worth the $50 I paid (and now only $40) when factoring in the other reasons I bought it. The bass is there, $50 worth, in this price range, it's not bad at alland fits in a work bucket just fine (see photos).There are different types of bass technology and this one tries to use both the space of the box and that round shiny metal passive base reflex in the back of the unit.That round bass reflex thing holds a 2.5" sticker perfectly (see photos) and does not effect sound.Sticker matched the orange buttons, but I could have gone with any music group, or a yin yang sticker.Some reviewers on youtube say that is not a powered sub, it simply reflects the base from the two powered speakers, and is not receiving electricity itself... This is true but the two woofers (are) powered.It plays a micro SD card, and has a 3.5 mm Aux port, (both good selling points as I don't want blue tooth going through my brains on top of the truck's elog transmitter.,......but for all I know it's transmitting blue tooth whether I'm using it or not?)I will have to do an update to review battery life, as I have only had it playing a few hours.Update: battery is long lasting.PS I got a job with newer trucks, and good stereos, so put a black seatbelt sholder pad on the orange handle to tone it down a bit (see photos) since we now mainly use it in a bathroom as a butt burp buffer.

Being a longtime watch and tech enthusiast and weekend adventurer, I love these kinds of devices and have owned many way back to the early days like altimeter/barometer/compass watches all the way to recent devices from Suunto and Garmin etc. Things have come a long way. The battery life on the GTR3 is fantastic. I've been using this device for a number of activities constantly tethered to my phone for about a week, even including short hike, constant heart rate monitoring and battery seems like it can go a few more weeks. It is rated at 21 days of regular use, mostly likely meaning always connected to the phone and doing things. I'd say this is probably accurate and pretty darn good.The screen performance in terms of brightness and visibility, just top notch in my opinion. And the GUI responsiveness seems flawless. This adds quit a lot to the overall experience of the device for me. The digital crown works very well. There is a feature on here that acts as a flashlight like on a smartphone, but it boosts the screen brightness., very bright, very effective for its intended purpose.The GTR3 just so many useful features related to sports, health, fitness, also with GPS integration. I did a test hike locally and the interface IMO was very well designed to make the setup of the monitoring and data capture of the hike so easy, just easy and simple to read. I've owned a number of other devices where the interface similar routines are just really clunky, the GTR3 is superior in this manner. Another cool feature on this is is called ONE-TAP MEASURING Rather than individually grabbing measurements for health features, you can just hit ONE-TAP MEASURING to get all the health measurements in one shot. Ability to setup sleep/health monitoring seemed very easy.There are number of features on Amazfit watches such as the GTR3, typically only integrated into premium smartwatches like V02 max reading, offline altimeter barometer, compass GTR3 has these features.From a watch enthusiasts perspective I give the watch high marks in terms of looks/fit/comfort. Many other competitive devices at this price point suffer from not having enough decent looking watch faces to choose from. Out of the box the GTR3 has many great watch faces to choose from, and for my personal choice which is, symmetric, conservative, and stylish. The case and band style is partially why I chose it, simple but in a good way. The best watch designs IMO keep things for the most part, simple. The quick release spring bars are a nice touch. This is very comfortable on the wrist and it has a premium feel. This uses standard 22mm lugs which is nice to have and allows for the fun of fitting standard strap/ bands.Shipping was fast and packaged safely.If there is anything I would want more from this watch is maybe a few more apps on the watch or a few more apps in the appstore. What would be nice is more useful GPS related tools or app/features like find where I parked or 'track-back' to starting point of a hike. But of course for the price of the GTR3 and what it offers is a nice value.Overall the GTR3 experience has been great. Having Alexa just adds more fun to the experience. Overall performance of battery is great, gui experience is nice, setup and connecting to the phone and getting started with monitoring/tracking was easy, no hiccups.

Review immediately after purchase (so aren't able to rate durability/battery life etc). I've tried to be as detailed as possible, so while some points are minor, I hope they're helpful. I've included a short and a long version.SHORT: Excellent, I'd buy it again and don't have any reason to not recommend it to anyone.LONG: As follows...+Nice look and quality, with a solid and ergonomic feel.+Arrived quickly and well packaged.+User friendly buttons.+Lightweight (is exactly as advertised) but not flimsy+I like the LED's that indicate charging/battery level.+Piece of cake to set up.+Ideal for travel+Automatically connects between laptop and phone (i.e. I had them next to each other and as soon as I played from one device, it gave preference to it, rather than having to disconnect/reconnect each device - which my BOSE sound link requires) Obviously the BOSE is a better all rounder but that cost +£200 and is approx double the weight at 650g)-I found the sound had a bit too much treble and not enough bass* I realise sound is absolutely a matter of personal taste, so can only comment on my personal experience.-Doesn't come with a case/protection. I'm ordering one for £16.99 on Amazon.-I did read the description, so was aware that it features a silicon strap rather than a stand, but personally I'd like a little stand for the times I'd prefer it not to be laid flat. Minor point though.-A double ended USB-C (which for me, as an Apple user is also known as a Thunderbolt) charging point/cable, as opposed to a USB, which limits options somewhat. Therefore, I currently have to connect it to my MacBook to charge it rather than a socket.*However, VERY importantly, the free Tribit app (App Store) sorted this very easily with a customisable equalisiation. So I have it nicely set to my preference. A big plus, makes all the difference. I've already saved a Music and Movie version.CONCLUSION: I have no reservations in recommending this little gem. The price point is lower than I'd expect for this product. You get a lot of bang for your buck! I might get a second one in the future, to have stereo. I don't think many people would be disappointed with it - taking into account the price and the fact it is a micro speaker.The 4 star rather than 5 is for two reasons. 1) that the initial sound with the App wasn't as good (anyone without a smartphone/App option may be disadvantaged) and 2) the type of charging point.Go for it!

Si ya tienes un telescopio y buscas una herramienta que te permita tener mayor campo y la flexibilidad de poder tener una sesión de observación in promptu, vas a amar estos binoculares.Bien empaquetados y protegidos llegaron a mi puerta en solo 16 horas. Excelente colimación, buen funcionamiento mecánico (ningún detalle), buena óptica (el recubrimiento casi no refleja luz) y accesorios decentes (la bolsa y el adaptador funcionan; el strap para colgarlos parece broma). Representan un excelente valor dado el precio durante la más reciente promoción (de hecho más barato que en USA).Al recibirlos, en los primeros 10 minutos de prueba pude observar las Pleyades, las Hyades, El cúmulo doble en Perseo y para mi sorpresa M31, con una extensión ligeramente mayor que en mi pequeño reflector de 4.5". Todo desde mi jardín en medio de la ciudad. El enfoque es preciso, el relieve ocular suficiente y cómodo, la aberración cromática es prácticamente inexistente con la posición ocular adecuada y dentro del 85-90% del campo de visión. A pesar de que no tengo mucho interés por la observación lunar, estos binoculares me están haciendo cambiar de opinión con su efecto casi tridimensional.Son pesados y grandes. Para una sesión de observación casual puedes sostenerlos en tus manos unos pocos minutos. Si quieres estudiar los objetos en turno, necesitas un buen soporte. O bien un tripié fotográfico de buena calidad, sólido y que puedas subir hasta la altura de tus ojos, o un monopié para observar sentado. En mi caso lo he solucionado con una excelente base de micrófono para estudio y un adaptador bastante robusto que carga 3 kg.Muy recomendables. Si los ves a buen precio no lo pienses, no te vas a arrepentir.

I have both of these speakers and am offering a comparison. These are my opinions for what they’re worth. The bottom line is that the Tribit Stormbox Pro is a better value than the Bose Soundlink Revolve.Sound:Both of these speakers provide excellent room-filling sound that is decidedly different. The Bose is more ambient with a mono feel, which it is. The bass and mid-range are good but there is very little in the way of high treble. For example, you probably won't hear that classic "ping" in middle of "Comfortably Numb". Bose, being Bose, provides no information about what is inside the casing. My guess is that there is one woofer and a single transducer.Tribit, on the other hand, emits more of a surround sound which actually seems stereophonic. Bass is thumping amazing with the booster on, mid-range is fine and and very high notes come through loud and clear. Some reviewers describe this as "Tinny"; I don't think so. Tribit openly discloses that there is a subwoofer, 2 transducers and 2 passive radiators.ADVANTAGE: Tribit. At lower volume, the sound quality is equal. Tribit wins at moderate to high volume with the Extra Bass activated.Functionality:Bose has 5 control buttons (Power, Bluetooth pairing, volume + and -, and one more which I haven’t figured out but things get messed up whenever I push it. An audio cable port is provide if you can’t connect via Bluetooth for some reason. The optional Bose charging cradle is the worst accessory ever designed in history - don’t waste your money. Bose rates the speaker as IP55 water resistant.Tribit has 4 buttons (Power, Bluetooth pairing, and volume + and -). The Tribit also shows battery power. The Stormbox Pro has a carrying strap which is a great idea; I’ve dropped my Bose a couple times. Tribit rates the speaker as IP67 water proof.ADVANTAGE: Tribit. The controls are simpler.Price:Right now, the Bose Soundlink Revolve (Series II) is $219 and the Tribit Stormbox Pro is $119.95 with a 20% coupon ($95.96).ADVANTAGE: Tribit. Bose is over-priced.Appearance:The Bose exterior is solid plastic and durable. Tribit has a high-quality fabric exterior and looks good. The Stormbox is 1” higher than the Revolve.ADVANTAGE: Equal.Battery:I’ve never had an issue with my Bose’s battery. The manufacturer claims 13 hours of playtime. Tribit claims to provide 24 hours of play time and has a port for charging your cell phone.ADVANTAGE: Equal.Durability:One thing you have to hand to Bose, their products are built to last. Despite the fact I cannot attest to the Tridbit's durability - Bose gets the vote.Advantage: BoseSummary:The Tribit Stormbox Pro is an amazing portable speaker at under $100. It meets or beats the Bose SoundLink Revolve in all categories. I don’t know how it would match up against the Bose SoundLink Revolve+ with runs $329.

In multiple ways this was a great upgrade. I am upgrading from the Ticwatch Pro. The TicWatch GPS 3 is great. Lighter, faster charging, and much quicker. I appreciate Pro's and Con's and will try to expand below.Pro's- It is very light, I forget its there sometimes.- Cleaner image of watch faces.- More user friendly than the TicWatch Pro I am upgrading from.- The band has a type of locking strap which is Awesome!- Functions and permissions to activating apps are styled as a one stop shop, by that I mean you know what you're signing up for when activating or turning a feature/application on which I find helpful. It feels more transparent which I really appreciate.-It works. I have monitored my heart rate manually and ran the application, they were the same. It told me I was stressed out, I was. My old watch used to tell me great job on exercise ( I was sitting at the computer) TicWatch GPS 3 is much much more accurate.- My favorite function is the breathing application. At night I have turned it on for about 2-3 minutes. There is a hepatic feedback and visual that you follow with your breathing. I personally close my eyes and breathe with the vibrations the watch gives off and fall asleep so much faster.- Battery is so much better. I get calls, texts, have all applications turned on monitoring and have charged it twice since having it over the past two weeks. My old TicWatch was mandatory charge every 32hrs max.- Customer service response has been great. Answering each question, not dodging or leaving things unanswered.Con's- Some applications you have to be gentle with, to set them up with movements can cancel them with swipe like movements as swiping left, right, up, down can bring up another screen. I have reached out to Customer service and was told it was escalated and their team was working on it asap.- The default screen is great, though not my personal preference. Just like changing the colorful watchfaces I do wish you could or there were some options to select a different one. I again, have reached out and have been told it will be looked into.All in all I am very happy with my purchase, and new gadget. It was and is truly an upgrade for me and I couldn't be more excited to have a new watch!

The cable works great for both charging the Oculus Quest 2 and providing Oculus Link connectivity to your headset for playing PC VR titles. BUT, it's practically worthless at this price! Here's why:The Quest 2 comes with a charging cable that works perfectly well for charging the headset and providing data access for things like SideQuest, an app that allows you to sideload (install without using the Oculus app) apps and games on to your headset.The Quest 2 also supports the WiFi 6 wireless standard. If you have a WiFi 6 wireless router, you can use an app called Virtual Desktop to play all your PC VR games without the need for a wire running down your back. The latency is incredibly low, making for an amazing completely-wireless Link gaming experience.If you don't have a WiFi 6 wireless router, you can still use Virtual Desktop and play your games completely wirelessly! The latency is slightly higher and the bandwidth is lower (you may need to drop your graphical settings to get it to play right) but still completely enjoyable for everyone not playing in competitive gaming tournaments.There are two advantages to this cable over using your Quest 2 wirelessly: latency is virtually eliminated when playing over wire, and trickle charging your headset while in use. Most reviewers agree that the cable works perfectly well for Oculus Link gameplay (though some argue playing through Virtual Desktop wirelessly instead of through Oculus's Link interface is actually faster). And while plugged in, your Rift 2 battery gets a partial charge while plugged in. That's not to say you can use the headset indefinitely; the battery still drains faster than the cable tops it up. But it does allow for longer gameplay without having to buy an external battery pack or the expensive Elite Strap with Battery.tl;dr: this is a very expensive USB cable that almost no one really needs. If you don't have a PC, or PC VR games you want to play on your Quest 2, don't buy this. If you have a relatively new wifi router that offers 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections, don't buy this (get Virtual Desktop from the Oculus Store instead, and find a youtuber that can show you how to play PC games wirelessly). If you need absolute-zero latency for competitive gaming, then this is the closest you'll get.
