Great Value Compact Shotgun Microphone
Packing & PresentationSo when u order this item you will receive a brown cardboard box but don't fear that's just for extra protection as the actual K&F mic box is inside anyways after removing the actual box from the cardboard box you will find a really nice layed out compact and sturdy box with the mics image on the front and on the back you have some diagrams of the recording pattern and specifications. As you remove the lid from the box you have a nice piece of foam covering all the products some manuals the microphone itself a windshield foam and a cr2032 battery all very nicely laid out in the well organised box.What I LikeThe packing and presentation is a 10 out of 10 for me.The fact the you get the windshield foam and the battery included which means you can start using this right out the box.The build quality of the microphone is great and is constructed of metal which is nice.You can adjust the mic from off to on at 0db to +10db which is great if your at some distance.It's not very large just around 6 inch in length.Shock proof design to reduce mechanical noise of camera.The cardioid patterned recording which means it will pick up sounds directly in front and pick up minimum noise from around so you will always sound more clearer than the background.Sound quality is really quite good as it picks up less noise while recording.Easy to install and remove the mic on a Digital SLR and most mirrorless cameras.What I Don't LikeThe biggest only thing for me was the part of the stand which clips onto the hotshoe on the camera which is made of plastic and gonna be honest not the best quality you can find.My overall ThoughtsThis is a great microphone for cameras and has great recording quality. Now the plastic mount that you secure on the camera isn't the greatest quality i say again but actually it is designed in that way to reduce shock and pick up of mechanical noises from the camera but overall this does have great audio and recording capabilities and well worth the money.Well that was my review on this k&f concept shotgun style microphone if you guys liked this review and found it helpful the don't forget to leave a like.

Best drone ever
We got this drone to look over our property. After buying a few others that were actually more expensive, this one was so much easier to operate and control. Very happy with our purchase.

Fun little drone
Worth the money for a beginner who is willingly to learn. It takes a few tries to get started but once your up and going it’s a lot of fun.

Great Beginner Quadcopter Drone!
I bought this mini quadcopter drone because I wanted to learn how to fly drones and needed one that wasn't too expensive. No need to crash a $400 drone when you can crash a $30 one.Pro's:- Very stable once calibrated. This mini drone will pretty much hover in one place once it's up in the air.- Rugged construction. I crashed this thing into walls, trees, and a basebal diamond backstop fence. It just kept on flying...until I list a propeller.- Extra propellers come in the box in case you lose or break one.Con's- Like most mini drones of this size you get about 6-8 minutes of flight time out of the battery. It comes with two batteries, but I would recommend getting a couple extra as the batteries take up to 60 minutes to re-charge,- It may be cheap and look like a toy, but I wouldn't recommend it for small children. The box suggests 14+ for good reason. The controls may be too complicated for some.In addition to purchasing the extra batteries, I would recomment getting the carrying case specifically made for the Holy Stone HS170. It fits the drone, contorller and batteries quite nicely,https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MSGMNL8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Overall a great starter quadopter drone.

Good drone for the price
Researched drones for hours to get my husband one for Christmas. Glad I chose this one. This thing is durable! Easy to control, goes high in the air. My husband loves it.

Solid beginner drone
Bought this for my father-in-law. He is living in the Philippines so we thought it would be a cool way for him to capture some of the incredible beaches and mountains. He loves it. Thanks!

Small, cute, fun to use!
I'm a first time drone operator and bought this to help a friend to take pictures of her balcony using the drone. Turns out that that project fell through and I thought I would be disappointed by this purchase, but I was wrong because this drone is so fun to fly around my apartment. I recommend watching a YouTube video or two before launching this drone if you have no experience because it is easy to crash it into a wall. It does occasionally hang left but I turn it off, turn it back on, and recalibrate which improves it.Fortunately, it comes with extra propellers if you do crash it into a wall and it sustains damage. Despite my many crashes into walls, my shoe rack, doors, etc. I haven't had to replace a propeller yet! Just reattach one that fell off.I love that it comes with two batteries. Each battery lasts about 30 minutes unless you're doing rolls in the air, which does consume more of the battery faster.Picture quality is surprisingly good! The camera swivels up or down which is cool. I wouldn't rely on this drone to get instagram quality pics/videos.I'm 30 years old with no kids but I imagine that any tween or young teen would have so much fun flying this in an indoor space or in the backyard on a day with calm winds.PS: My cat hates it, haha.
