I like the camera mount
This is a really good, solid and attractive tripod. The legs are very adjustable and the joints where the legs attach to the stem are well constructed. The camera mount is small enough that I can keep it on the base of my camera when it is placed into my camera bag. It also comes with a very good quality case.

Comfort And sound Quality.
What I like best about these headphones is the sound quality. I hooked these One Odios up to a Sony Walkman NW A-55 music player. To me these sound balanced regarding the bass. At higher volumes the bass doesn't boom.These ear pads fit me better than the Philips 9600. They aren't as ergonomic but they seal well.I have read about concerns with durability. Time will tell, but I'm not crazy about the ear pad swivels for longevity. The idea of making these foldable is a good one for packing or storing the headphones.The bag that came with the Pro 50 is nicer than some. It looks like fake leather with drawstrings. The headphones fit the bag well. The detachable cord is a bonus as well.I think these headphones were a good buy. They work well for my music players. I think care has to be taken with these for durability. I'd buy them again if I needed another set.

Can't really fault these for the money..
I've used these now for getting on a year. I have to admit I was nervous at straying away from the Canon brand but these were to be used for mainly off camera flash. Much lest costly if a guest at a wedding knocked one over or they went over in the wind. I'd read a few reports about recycle time/draining batteries so bought some JJC BP-CA1 battery packs to use with them.(I've never needed them.)I use these with the YN-E3-RT and have never had a single problem. (touch wood) I also use them as slaves sometimes when the Canon 600ex-II RT is on Camera. Again no issues at all. Yes both the rubber weather seals fell off within a month or so but if I'm using them in wet weather they are in a freezer bag anyway.. I like the look of the Godox system but I don't feel the need to change just for the sake of it. These do the job every time. p.s throw the diffuser in the bin and use MagMod ;)

Clean and clear filter
I have both the 52 and 58mm circular polarizers from Tiffen and they both work fantastically. The outer ring spins easily and smoothly, and the filter doesn't reduce the image quality one bit. This is a must have for taking outdoor pictures as it really makes clouds pop and cleans up reflections. Want to get a shot through a glass window? Use this filter to prevent unwanted reflections from getting in the way. Like your framing and exposure, but getting blown out reflections in that lake? You'll lose a stop of light, but it's worth it to get rid of those stray sunbeams in the water.I've taken them both on numerous hikes and in some fairly dangerous conditions. I've thrown them in my camera bag without much regard to their safety, and yet they work fine without any scratches. For the money, Tiffen is great.

Game changer
100% worth the money, total game changer when it comes to outdoor photography. Ive hiked almost 100 miles with it this summer. I use it for day-hikes on a 20l bag, as well as backpacking with a 75l ruck, with a typical dslr (nikon d90 with a 18-200m lens). Comfortable af, I barely feel the camera on my chest. People are surprised how comfy it is when they try it on. I tend to check the screws throughout a hike to make sure theyre tight, only once was a screw a bit loose.I also purchased a few $15 qr plates (Harwerrel Aluminium) to keep on tripods and a steady cam, making setting up shots quick on the trail. I would recommend a rope-style strap thats silky and less bulky than stock straps, as the Peak Design clip is carrying the weight now.

Solid entry-level action camera
The media could not be loaded.
Full serviceable and good value for the price. Battery life pretty decent too (and spares readily available). Not as much on-board tech as GoPro, but pretty adequate at capturing decent footage that can be worked with and cleaned up during editing.My primary uses are Kayaking and trail running. Kayaking is pretty stable overall, but running does tend to bounce it quite a bit, depending on where you mount the camera. Chest mount can be pretty bumpy overall. Head mount seems to be better. Selfie stick (as attached) can be a mixed bag. You may want to consider shooting a lower resolution, but higher frame rate (in other words, sacrifice the 4K quality for a smoother, less jumpy picture) on anything bumpy.All in all, solid purchase, and affordable enough to buy a second and third if I'm looking for multiple angles.

Great tripod for my needs
This tripod works perfectly for my needs. I attend many soccer and flag football games for both of my children. I expecially this love this tripod because it is really light weight. I'm usually lugging around a chair, an umbrella, and a water bottle, and it's no inconveneice to carry this tripod - especially since it comes with a carrying bag with a strap that I can hang over my shoulders. I'd caution if you intended to use it outdoors on a windy day, becasue it could blow over with a moderate wind if you're not holding onto it. Teh tripod does come with an attachment to secure your phone. I have an iPhone 12, and it fits firmly onto the bracket. In short, this is a simple tripod that can hold a phone - I likely wouldn't use it to hold a heavy DSLR camera with a telefoto lens, but for my needs, it works well.

must have stand for weddings or other events
I've been a professional full time wedding photographer for four and half years now and have used off camera flash most of that time. The folding legs when you pick a CheetahStand is a dream come true when working with a crowd or really just on the move in general; say shooting a bridal indoors and moving from place to place. I have two 12 foot stands (and need a 3rd) and one 8 foot stand. For receptions the 12 foot stand stands are set-up off to the side of the dance floor and the 8 foot one (since it's so small and compact) stays with me for a good part of the reception. The 12 footers don't need sandbags but the 8 foot one is not stable enough to be set-up and left alone without bagging it but no need to bag it since it stays within arms reach.

Such a good deal, I thought it was a joke at first
I actually bought this exact package from the same seller through eBay, but needed to share my experience here too!I've been a "Prosumer" photographer using Nikon for about a decade. About a month ago my Nikon started to lag and quickly became unusable. This deal came to my attention quickly as I began to hear more and more about Sony Mirrorless. Changing from DSLR to Mirrorless was a big decision but changing from Nikon to Sony... I was risking my entire reputation (Not Really). I went ahead and made the purchase and could not possibly be happier! The camera is a BEAST! The Wifi is incredible and something that neither Nikon or Canon could match. Everything I expected and more!Pros:Incredible image qualityFast AF systemPortableWifi is so cool!Extra bag and SD card came with my purchaseLooks like BRAND NEW$400 cheaper than the storeThe lenses included are superb and flawlessCons (if any)AF has a tough time locking on to subjects every once and a while.The camera has to take some time to process after taking a large burst, where nothing can really be done with the cameraThe app store for the camera (Playmemories) has a prehistoric feel to itIn conclusion: If you are looking for a new technology, tired of hauling around tons of DSLR equipment, or just looking for a new hobby, this is the ONLY place you should start.
