Good quality and cool gadget to have in a hiking bag
This monocular feels like it has good build quality and it produces a great picture. One thing to note however with the phone holder, if you have a pop socket you may not be able to line your camera up with the eyepiece because the pop socket can get in the way of the holder. There just isnt very much clearance between the phone and the holder so a pop socket can be get problematic. This is a minor issue however when looking at the product as a whole because it's a good quality item.

You get plenty accessories and don’t have to spen
AKASO V50 pro is a 4K cam. The Image stabilization works is not the best but is good. I went bike riding and I got some really good videos. I just wish the camara came with a carrying case . One bad thing is that the lens will scratch very easily.

Great camera in a small package!!!
I recently received my EOS-M and have had a few days to work with it in several different lighting environments. For what it is, it s an excellent camera. But if you are buying this hoping that I will be a cheaper 5d mk ii or 7d, then you didn't pay attention to the purpose of this camera.First, lets make sure we are clear about something... This is an amazing, full-featured camera that allows you to work with all of your EF and EF-S lenses in full manual mode (or auto if people still do that). And so we are clear, it has the same sensor and overall image quality as the revered Canon 7d and the new 650d. Yet the EOS-M body is the size of a small point & shoot! I think it is disappointing that this camera has received such negative reviews. I honestly believe that people must have had high expectations, hence they set themselves up to be let down.As others have mentioned, the shortcoming of this camera is the auto focus. You won't have much luck shooting sports or any fast moving activites using the camera's auto focus. It's just too slow for those applications. However, it is fine for nature photography, event photography, candid portraits, etc. You might miss a few "moments" here and there waiting an extra 1/4 - 1/2 second for the auto focus to do its thing, but again, this isn't billed as being super fast like the modern DSLR cameras we have grown accustomed to. This is about extreme portability without sacrificing image quality...That said, I've shot with the 50mm f1.2 L as well as the 24-105mm f4 IS L and the camera performed good, better than satisfactory, with each of those lenses. I was even using the 50mm 1.2 at night in a strip mall parking lot... Had no problem pulling focus what so ever. I was actually pleasantly surprised!I'm happy with my purchase. I did not buy it for sports or action photography... I bought it as a 2nd camera to use for travel, hiking, parties, and as another camera angle for my video projects. This is the camera that I'll be taking to parties, happy hour gatherings, etc. And it will be on a video tripod with a nice L series lens at every live concert and wedding I shoot.You need to really evaluate your needs. This camera surely isn't for everybody, but if the shoe fits, it is an amazing little machine!

Great alternative to the GoPro at a much better pr
*Update: Thank you, Akaso Direct for reaching out to me and getting everything straightened out.To start with, I'm a little bummed that the unit I received had clearly been used. The glass on the lens had a couple of chips in it and the paint around it was peeling. Additionally, there was a 3rd party screen protector still on the touch screen which was under the factory covers. Don't sell me a "new" item if it has been used.I bought this primarily to use with my motorcycle as a "just in case" camera. I use the electronic image stabilization every time but the image is still pretty bouncy. The battery will last around 20 to 30 minutes before it cuts out so you won't be able to use it for long trips without stopping to change out the battery and even then, you will have an hour at most. That is with doing 1080p instead of 4k.The mounts that come with it work great and the camera is really easy to use. It's a good option in the "cheaper than a GoPro" category.

Good value for your money
I used to be incredibly into photography but used film. I recently decided to purchase a digital slr to try and get back into photography without the insane time/cost associated with developing all your own film.Upon receiving the rebel I was excited about its features and there is a lot of documentation. The packaging is well thought out and the lens is pretty good for being all purpose.I really think this camera provided me with some excellent results so far and the settings are easy once you get used to how to access them.My only beef with this product is that the selector wheel could be placed in a different location and that would make it easier which is the case with the nikon. Removing my finger from the button to change settings with the wheel bummed me out BUT, its not really that big of a deal.Like I said in the title, its a good value for your money (or as a starter camera) but long term your probably going to want something else.

***DONT WASTE YR MONEY ON ANYTHING ELSE
***DONT WASTE YR MONEY ON ANYTHING ELSE!!!*** This is a good bit of kit & for under 30 quid!! WOW!! I have seen & used things 3 times the price of this!! DONT WASTE YR MONEY BUYING ANYTHING ELSE!! This seems to be a well made item fit for the job holding my Nikon D3100 with 18-55 lens with no problems or issues at all, i now have professional looking smooth fluid video clips which look amazing!! NO SHAKE NO WOBBLE!!! I LOVE IT!!.....Now...If your new to using steadycams it takes time patience & a little practice so dont think you can just "Put yr camera on and go", you cant!! The steadycam will need light fine adjustments here & there so the camera sits "True" but once set up you should have no problems, then its just a case of practice & getting used to how it works but once mastered you will never look back!!!.......HIGHLY RECOMENDED ITEM....

Rock Solid Work Horse!!
An all round versatile workhorse for any situation! This tripod, with its 3 position padded legs, and variable angle center post, gives you unlimited options for camera placement. I've already come to appreciate those padded legs, as they insolate my hands from the cold aluminum during cold weather shoots. The ball head is big, beefy, and should hold any lens, camera combination you have. The panning feature is silky smooth, and the scale can be aligned to your shooting situation by just loosening the center post rotation knob.The only con I found with this tripod was the mounting plate and holder. I'm not a big fan of the slide-in type mounting! It is a lot of fiddling around in the dark and takes two hands! I had been using the Manfrotto drop-lock lever style mount and prefer to use that style. I did however found it an easy task to just replace the mount capture plate, and all is well!

Great Quality and Grows With Family
I just started using this monitor this past month when my son started sleeping in his own room and so far, this monitor has been great! I chose this product because it doesn't connect to the wifi, you can easily order replacement parts if needed and you can add on an additional camera. I really like that we can use just one monitor when we have another child. The picture and sound quality are really clear and I like that there are different lens to use. My son is a tummy sleeper, so I like being able to zoom in on his nose to make sure it's not squished into the mattress. I have not had to mount the camera yet, but that seems like a very simple process as well. My only wish would be that the monitor had a longer battery life when fully charged so that it doesn't always need to be plugged in over night. Overall, so far, so good!

Fantastic but with an Achilles Heel
Let me get the not so great stuff out of the way first. You can't mount the camera above the baby's crib pointing down. The wall mount provided Will hold the camera parallel to the floor but not pointing down. Also, the camera itself does not use a standard mounting mechanism so I can't switch to a different wall mount to mount it pointing down.The AC adapters aren't labelled and have different outputs. Having a label would be nice so I don't have to read the small print for what power requirements the camera and the parent unit have.The kick stand is tiny and could stand to be double or triple the size too.With the bad news out of the way....the camera itself is pretty amazing. The parent unit with the screen feels more like using a tablet than carrying around a baby monitor. It's huge and the screen is quite nice. The color night vision isn't as amazing as I had hoped but this camera still has IR night vision which is great. The night light and sound machine capabilities of the camera are really nice and make this an all in one solution if you need it to be.The range on this is great. I haven't found a spot in my house where it doesn't work. The camera controls on the parent unit are easy to figure out and use. There's a slight delay when moving the camera in the video feed but this has such a good field of view that even if you don't stop the camera in the exact right spot, you're still able to see pretty much anything you need to.The up and down movement of the camera is decent but the wide angle lens means you're almost certainly not going to have an issue where you need more up and down movement. The side to side movement is more than enough for seeing around an entire room.The talk through function works pretty well and the screen automatically waking itself up when it detects noise is absolutely amazing for the middle of the night.The humidity and temperature readings are nice to have too to make sure that my little one is comfortable at night.I'm quite impressed. Leap Frog hit it out of the park with this baby monitor. If they could just figure out how to let me mount it directly above the crib safely, this would be the perfect baby monitor. As it is, it's a really really really good one.
