Disclaimer: We were offered a discount for an honest review for this product.I purchased both the IP Camera as well as the recorder from Armcrest and installed it on our property. These are not the cheapest cameras you can buy, but they do not seem particularly expensive either given their specifications. The build quality for the camera is good, sturdy construction and mounting was simple, with screws and screw housings provided. A sticker of the camera mount is included so this can be pasted directly to the wall as a guide for drilling, which is convenient.The camera can be rotated and panned as needed through loosening of a special nut (tool is provided). Since the camera is powered over ethernet, we plugged it in directly to the recorder. Setup of the camera was not particularly intuitive through the Armcrest ViewPro software (for example, functions that are not supported by this particular model are not ‘grayed out’ but rather you can still click the button and will find nothing happens, such as with the pan/zoom feature). But otherwise the software is fully featured. For example, it can be set up to record during motion detection or face detection, you can set up a custom recording schedule, add many more cameras, and so forth.The picture quality is outstanding. The high resolution 4K 8MP sensor provides crisp, high quality images, both day and night. In my opinion the image is a little over saturated, but otherwise is superb. It also has a lower resolution mode, in case you are streaming over a weaker connection and thus would prefer that. There is also a built-in microphone, that is also of decent quality Overall, this is a high quality camera that could benefit from some more intuitive software, but is otherwise fully featured.

Like most Smallrig items, this thing screams quality. It’s all metal and it works flawlessly. It’s very well designed to only have to twist a little bit on the knob and it loosens the clamp and you set it where you want it and twist a little bit to lock it down.This company makes good stuff and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy anything that they made.Attempt to setting this clamp is to not try to do one arm at a time. You mount it where you want to mount it and then you loosen it up and set your item where you want it and lock it down. That’s because all of the joints move at the same time and if you try to articulate it in sections it’s going to frustrate you. This is designed to be able to move where you want it to and lock down with a single twist.I don’t know what the weight limit on this thing is but I would trust it to hold a fair bit. This makes a perfect addition to your photography gear kit when you need to aim some thing a little bit off-center and get it just right. This is perfect. Whether it’s a flash or a light or a little soft box or a microphone, this will allow you to place something in a more unusual position.All the other clamps I have of this nature have some plastic parts and some have even broken when I’ve tried to tighten them down. This has textured ball joints so when you tighten it down it’s going to stay where you said it and you’re not gonna be tempted over tighten it. It’s all metal and extremely sturdy. You don’t go wrong with this one.

I wasn't crazy about the popular earbuds that were almost completely in-ear. I wanted a loop for the ear because I intended to use these at the gym, not wanting to solely rely on a perfect fit for my ear-holes to keep them from jostling loose. Also, if I ever wanted to use the microphone for phone calls, I wanted something that was more outside the ear as it just didn't seem right to be so reliant on noise cancellation/filtering for speaking.While these work fine for the gym, what really blew me away was their battery life. I recently had a family emergency and had to unexpectedly work remote. I purchased a cheap wired headset when I got to my destination, however, I tried for more than an hour to get it working with my laptop but to no avail (driver issues with Windows 11). I reluctantly popped in these earbuds and connected them to my laptop. I work in Information Technology and spend most of my workday on the phone.To my surprise, these lasted ALL. DAY. Every day. For two weeks. Charged them at night, left them in all day taking calls. Some notification sounds weren't perfectly transmitted from the computer presumably as a result of battery saving methods in the firmware, but I really can't complain. No issues with voice quality while talking to my clients, and I never even reached "battery low" status after nine straight hours off the charger and connected to my laptop.Obviously, I recommend these. They greatly exceeded my expectations.

Their launcher over Wear OS is convoluted and uses a good bit of battery. I've found that disabling their launcher increased my battery life from 18hrs to 24+, I use AOD, so I don't get the 45+ hours with the second LCD, however if I am traveling and don't have a lot of charging opportunities, turning off AOD and using the second LCD gets me 48ish hours to a charge, which is excellent compared to the Apple and Galaxy watches. This thing is bulky, but. Lightweight, the plastic body is durable and I have no concern about it getting wet, wore it in a hot tube for 20-30 minutes with no issues.Tracking accuracy is great, it can be a little off in a wearhouse or store, but that's kind of expected. Call quality can be good in a moderate environment, however the microphone should be on the left side or better, use two so when talking and working/moving we can be heard better without having to hold our wrisr nesr our mouth.App quality is cool, I tried the Tichealth and stuff, it's not bad, but since I'm Diabetic, Google Fit works best in my case with all my tracking in one place. I use the Dexcom app, and suggest using Wear Installer and leaving the AOD setting in the Wear App on your phone, turned on. This doesn't affect the 2nd LCD availability in any way if you choose to use it (see screenshot). Overall, 8/10, sometimes the Bluetooth is finicky and a watch restart is necessary. I'm hopeful we get a Mobvoi LTE model not locked to Whore-izon in the future

If you're looking for something to get your voiceover career started... why the heck are you looking at a $2 mic?If you're wanting something that's ridiculously cheap for chatting with your buddies on Overwatch... you're in the right place.For only about two bucks each, you can pick up a few of these guys. One was all I needed, and it works well. So I gave the two extras to my friends, and we use them for coordinating during online games like Heroes of the Storm.The mic is not going to give you crystal clear studio sound. But it also doesn't sound like you're talking through a ten-foot long pipe stuffed with paper towels. You'll be plenty audible and understandable with these mics.If your computer doesn't have a dedicated 3.5mm microphone input jack, or if (like me) you'd like your mic to have a mute switch, you can use an Audio Technica ATR2USB adapter 

Audio Technica ATR2USB 3.5mm to USB Audio Adapter









. It lets you plug into a USB port, and there's a button with a red/green light to indicate mute/on.Overall, I'd say this is a nice 3-pack of solid mics for voice chat. For pretty much anything but commercial or studio recording, I'd definitely recommend this mic.Only issue I had was that one of mine didn't have the little clip. I'd have preferred if the little foam wind cover had been missing instead since I threw those away, anyway.

I have owned these Anker headphones for two years now and they have exceeded my expectations in every way.Bottom Line on Top: I have listened to many high-end headphone sets over the years and it is hard to tell the difference between them and this Anker product.When it comes to quality audio products, there is a very real and rapid level of diminishing returns on your purchase once you move out of the lowest price point (i.e. junk). The difference in performance between a $50 pair of headphones and a $300 pair is practically undetectable to the ear. These headphones are a bargain considering how well they sound, feel, and perform. Having owned these headphones since 2020, I can tell you that they have held up very well to extensive use.My Grades (not curved for the price point)Clarity = A-Midrange = ATreble = A-Bass = B+Microphone = B+Passive Noise Cancelation = B-Active Noise Cancellation = BComfort = ABattery Life = AEase of connecting/use = A-Bluetooth Range = AQuality Fit/Finish = A-Long-term durability field test = A. These are sturdy. They have been dropped, squeezed into backpacks, and banged around middle school... and they still work just fine.If you are looking for a great set of headphones for music, travel, or online meetings these are a terrific option at a great price. These are not $200 headphones... but they punch well above their weight and sound terrific. Most impressive is that after 2 years of being banged around by my middle school daughter, they still work just fine... if that isn't value for your money, then I don't know what is.Best wishes!

I wasn't expecting such nice quality for the low price, so am pleasantly surprised on several key features:1. Noise cancelling is EXCELLENT. Even without cranking the volume way up. They block noise as well as my headset with ear cups.2. I have small ears, and the smallest of the three included silicone bud sizes actually fit in my ear reasonably well (during workouts they sometimes fall out, but between the over-the-ear piece and the plastic (vinyl?) connecting neck string -- it's unlikely to lose them).3. The sound quality is quite good. And the microphone works perfectly! I was able to take a phone call without interrupting a workout, and my caller was surprised at how normal my voice and call quality sounded (until I started breathing hard, he had no clue I was on a headset and working out. Lol.). For music, they lack the bass and richness of high-end alternatives, but really the quality has no major flaws to my ear.These were an impulse purchase while ordering a few other things, and really glad I got them!UPDATE after 1+ month of heavy use: My one annoyance is inability to use these while they're charging. But since I'm getting around 6-hours usage from a full charge, can't complain too much.And a really minor IMHO design flaw is that the vinyl/plastic cord attaching these to each other comes out the front of the buds, e.g. towards your face, to fall naturally in front of your throat, rather than from behind to fall more naturally at back of neck.

 After having slated GoPro cameras and said in that review I would try out the Drift Ghost XL Pro, it only seemed fair to do so.Most cameras will survive a sunny day, but as you can see from the video, we had one wet day in the Alps, like this for several hours and the camera recorded all footage. I can confirm it is waterproof as advertised. It also survived and continued to record all day whilst we were riding around in 35c - 38c heat, day after day. The body of the camera was almost too hot to touch, but it didn't let me down.Battery life - not quite the 7 hours or whatever as advertised, but at 1080p 30fps (standard HD), I got five and a half hours before the charge ran out.Image stabilisation was good, as is the image quality.Sound - no problems with recording it, or the quality, though that is also down to how you mount the microphone.Durability - something not usually mentioned. Well, it knocks GoPro for six! Mounted on the rear frame using Ram mounts, it survived the 2500 mile journey on both a Blade and a Panigale 899 without a single problem, broken file (common) or any other issue. In other words, this is fairly vibration proof, which is essential, if you're not putting it on your helmet.Conclusion - a tough little camera fit for purpose for motorcycle footage. I cannot vouch for other features that are offered. Essentially, all I want is a camera which WILL record our action, and this one did, under all conditions. Well worth the £250.
