Great flash gun which I think is perfect for someone looking to add one to their set up, but with a low budget.
I was sent this item to review.In my line of work, one of my jobs is to take photographs of events and activities that go on in the school I work at. I am by no means a professional photographer, but I wouldn’t call myself a complete newbie. I’ve got a basic grasp of cameras and how they work etc as well as being pretty tech savvy.This flash gun from my point of view is fantastic. From the outset, it is packaged fantastically, firstly coming in strong cardboard casing and then in its own ‘product box’. Inside is a case, the flash, a cover for the top of the flash and an instruction booklet. The English section of the manual is located towards the back, fear not.Once I’d loaded it up with 4 x AA batteries (not supplied) I powered it up to the sound of nice little jingle. I noticed that the blue ‘flash’ light had illuminated so I gave it press. Once my eye sight had been restored, I realised that this button sets the flash off!! Using the mount on the flash gun, I slid it on to my camera (an Olympus E-M10) and turned the camera on. As soon as I pressed the button to take a picture the flash gun fired automatically. No need to change settings or anything like that – it just worked! I was very surprised. On the top of the flash gun, there is a pull out diffuser should you require it and on the back is an LCD display (which illuminates if you need it to) which enables you to manipulate settings such as number of flashes, frequency of flashes as well as some ‘slave mode’ settings and others that I’m non-too familiar with at the minute (I guess this might spur me on to learn!)I am really, really impressed with this flash gun. For the price, it seems to be a great bargain. I’ve added a couple of photos of the item and is packaging as well as a couple of photos taken with and without the flash gun attached.Overall, this is a great flash gun which I think is perfect for someone looking to add one to their set up, but with a low budget.

Easy and works with blie iris software
As others have noted the IR for night vision is very bright in the center of the image and nearly non existant towards the periiphery.Camera was easy to mount and the PTZ works well. All functions are available when used with blue iris software. Zoom is good. Pan speed is good. A raccoon uses it as a step, smudging the lens and pushing the camera farther downward than it should go; it would not auto tilt back to the fully upright position. But it was easy to clean the lens and then to manually adjust it back to the correct position and once done my presets worked again.

Great lens for small bugs
Good for the price of not buying an entire macro camera. The lens are easy to use, come in a sturdy case and with accessories which are helpful. I like the light they add which is necessary for good photos. The lanyard is actually use ful so the lens doesn't fall off and break.I'm using this for spiders and it has allowed me to see the details of them closer than I could physically get and better than my phone camera can capture. Would buy again if I break this in the future or want a gift for a hobbyist.

Excellent baby monitor
Excellent video baby monitor. The camera and features are well thought out. Instructions were easy to understand and detailed. Even appreciated the packaging as everything was clearly labeled and easy to find/put together. It even comes with a different camera lens to use when the camera is placed at a greater distance from the crib. Nice. Video detail is clear. Overall would recommend.

Amazing device
Love this clip, it clamps securely on my backpack shoulder strap and holds my Sony and 18-135mm lens securely in place, highly recommended if you want your camera available at all times on the hiking trail.

It looks good so far
I just received my camera and used it. It looks good so far. Only complaint is if it's not in the waterproof case, the frame case will not protect the lens very well. Otherwise I like it so far.

Must have to protect your lens
We had one like this but a different brand for my Cannon T3i camera for years and I even forgot it's on there. One day when I left it on the kitchen island, where I thought my 18month old then can't reach, but the belt was little bit hanging down from the island, which i din't noticed. As soon as he touched it, I start running towards him but didn't reach him in time and he pulled it down with the strap. Luckily, it didn't fall on him but the fall on the floor broke the glass. Though I was happy my child was not hurt, I am left with a broken lens, which is a costly one.Later I tried to open the lens to check the damage, and to my surprise it's not the lens that was damaged, it's the lens filter. I am so happy that this lens of $10 or $15 worth saved my costly lens.Then I replaced my broken filter with this one, knowing all brands mostly does the same and it's from Amazon, so not to worry much I thought.It fit right through the lens and protecting my lens ever since.

This latest iteration of the 4k dual-lens is MUCH
This latest iteration of the 4k dual-lens is MUCH improved from the old camera. This new camera uses only 1 channel on your DVR to display a blended picture. The old style created two separate channels/streams. I wish this existed when I bought all my other single-lens reolinks because I could've used half the cameras and had twice the ease-of-use by going with this. HIGHLY recommended if you need wide angle coverage. Quality does not suffer and the blend-point between the cameras is done well.

Easy to use, a great product.
The card with videos included is a MUST to view, a lot is explained on it and it was great - all the components of the box were explained and made it a breeze to understand. However, the USB connection for the card was difficult to release so it could be plugged in, an easier to use mechanism would be less frustrating to use. The clip for attaching the lenses to the camera is especially good - clips tight and easy to line up with phone camera lens. The use of a tripod for taking pictures with macro lens is a good tip, but would have liked it more if more focus on the tripod (show it) was included in the video.
