Very nice, versatile tripod.
I'm a very amateur photographer, mainly doing some candids of the family and friends, and some more ambitious vacation photos. We also use it for bird photos in the backyard. I've got a Canon Rebel SL3 with the kit lens, a Canon 50mm, and a Tamron 70-300mm, which is the heaviest of the 3.I've had other cheap tripods in the past. They do OK for what they are, but never provide quite as sturdy a platform as I like. They are not smooth or easy to adjust. They also tend to break because they are made of cheap materials. Also, they tend to be heavy.This tripod is a BIG step up from what I'm used to. If you're a professional and already have 4+ figure carbon fiber tripods that are loaded with features and engineered like a Porsche, you might not appreciate this as much as I do. But for the typical photography hobbyist looking to get into a quality tripod for not a lot of money, this is an excellent choice.The features I really like:- It can get very low (including mounting camera underneath - great for garden macros), very high, and everything in between.- Double ball heads give you every possible angle- Bubble level helps you get the camera straight- Quick release is very easy to screw in and out, as well as mount- Everything that tightens or loosens allows you do to so very quickly and easily- Almost every adjustment feels smooth- Monopod option, so it's like a 2fer reallyMy only complaint - the written instructions are very difficult to understand. That said, the diagrams are good enough for anyone to explore and figure out.Overall, though, this is a great deal on a nice quality tripod. I think it's worth the cash over a more basic model, even if you are just a hobbyist.

Great goggles
I used these last weekend in mammoth. I already have a $200+ smith goggles but I wanted different lens colors and mine aren’t interchangeable. Bought these because of the price and thought I’d have nothing to lose. My goodness….they exceeded my expectations! So comfortable and the large lens size gives you such a wide field of view. And the magnetic lenses are so easy to change out. I tried wearing my Smiths and went right back to these. You will love these!

Amazing tech support
The product is great! We placed it at our front gate. Good WiFi range, wide angle lens and great tech support getting answers about instillation and set up.

Well Made, Good Photo Quality, Pretty Easy to Setu
This LTE security camera works as described! First off, the camera itself feels nicely made and doesn't feel cheap. It includes everything you need in the box minus an sdcard - keep in mind a full size sdcard is needed. It is very easy to setup and start using with their app and QR code. The QR code is found in the settings on the camera through the LCD screen built in. This does require 8 AA batteries to function.After scanning the QR code, it walks you through everything. You will be required to create an account first. Because this camera works over LTE networks, there is a subscription plan you must have to use it. They have different packages depending on how many photos you would like sent per month. I chose the 5,000 photo plan for $9.99 a month. When motion is detected the camera sends a low quality image to your phone - typically takes about 20 to 30 seconds to receive it. The quality of this image is low for most standards, but you can still make out what is going on. If you wish to see the image in high resolution, you have to request it. It will send the HD photo when the next communication is with the camera (so you won't get the HD photo right away). I have attached a sample of the HD photo. Keep in mind an HD photo costs you an additional 3 cents per photo. This camera can also send videos to your phone as well if you have that setting checked. It will only send up to 720P resolution, even though the camera itself can save up to a 1080p video to the sdcard. This will cost you an additional 7 cents per video.The camera lens itself on this camera is not bad for what it is. It's not a super wide angle lens, but it is better than others I have used. The camera quality on the HD photos is actually quite good and the night vision works just fine.My camera has been mounted for about a week from the writing of this review and it has been at nearly 100% battery ever since. There is no solar panel included, but it can use one if you have one separately. It has been through rain, snow, sun and even some very hot temperatures as well and had no issues operating in those conditions.All things considered, a camera like this is not for everyone. It is great if you own property and can't get a Wi-Fi signal there with other cameras. It is not too expensive, if you ask me and but you do have to buy a monthly subscription to keep it active, unless you don't want to use the cellular connectivity (but that defeats the purpose). You of course can retrieve all HD photos from the SD card if you choose, but that would require you to go to the camera's location to get them - also defeating the purpose of having a setup like this. It does work as described and it does do the job well. It all depends on the user and the user's needs. If you need something that you can just set and forget about, this is it!

Versatile, packs small, sturdy enough
Works with a smartphone, GoPro, even with a small SLR (be careful with that, and don’t fit a large lens)Perfect vlogging companion, might also work as a self defense tool in a pinch :)

Awesome goggles for the price
Love these goggles... They are perfectly designed and Do not cause fog. The three included lenses and case are awesome. I personally like the yellow lens best... Can't recommend these enough.

Pleased Overall - Versatile and Nice Image Quality
I'm an early adopter (February 2020) of this camera, and I've been pleased overall. In the interest of full disclosure, I'd had limited prior experience with other action cameras, so I don't have many points of comparison. But, I REALLY like the camera's versatility and being able to switch between a 360 camera and the 4K. I'd been waffling about whether to get one camera or the other, and with this, I was able to get both at a reasonable price. I also really like that it's waterproof, as many of the 360 camera options are not. I've also been pleased with the image quality.For me, so far, these have been the primary downsides:1. Since this product launched, the company has been very slow to launch camera-specific accessories, including basic stuff such as the lens protectors. My sense is that the problem is attributable to the COVID-19 issues, which is understandable and will presumably pass. But, that dynamic has limited or reduced my ability to use the camera so far. As a directly related matter, I've found that GoPro mounts don't fit this camera particularly well. I've had some success using off-brand action camera mounts, but those options seem to be lower / sketchy quality. It's nice to see that the camera and accessories are starting to be sold on Amazon. I bought the camera directly from the company, because it wasn't being offered on Amazon at the time. I'd been relegated to buying certain limited accessories on AliExpress, which was an *absolutely abysmal* experience that I'd never wish on anyone.2. In my view, the camera-specific editing software isn't particularly user friendly or intuitive. Because of that, I'm not making the most of my videos, as they're just languishing on a hard drive until I can make time to learn the software.Mind you, I have no regrets about buying this camera, and I'm reasonably confident that these downsides that I've identified will improve over time.

This made for a Wonderful Gift!
I ordered this product for a family member who is an avid photographer. Watching him open it on Christmas Day was one of the funniest experiences EVER! It's packaged so that it looks like an actual lens so when you discover it's a mug it's priceless! My family and I passed it around and everyone marveled at how it looked like a real lens. On top of that it works great! I would highly recommend this as a gift for yourself or someone who loves photography. Great product!

Great Price. Awesome photos. Already getting my li
The only think I dislike, and it's not really a dislike but just want to point it out, is that autofocus is slower than the kit lens. If you're trying to capture some fast moving action and depending on autofocus for video, I can see a decline in performance that you might be used to compared to the original lens.But dang it if these pictures don't look as pretty as I as expecting. I'm happy with my first set of photos and I'll be happier as days go by.
