This choice is hard to beat for the average consumer at the seemingly low price $30 USD, but you can expect to spend more money than just that.First the good stuff. The camera is small and inconspicuous, and has a very clear image quality, even in the dark. It's easy to set up; just plug it into a standard power outlet and install the app on your phone. Whatever the camera currently sees, you can see through your phone. By default, it begins actually recording footage whenever it senses motion. The recordings are stored online in the cloud (not in the camera). These recordings are also viewed from your phone, and the camera sends your phone a notification whenever it has sensed motion and recorded something. It can sense motion from pretty far away. It can also capture audio, though the quality is hit and miss and usually very quiet.Now the sketchy parts. The camera's night-vision is only "color" if your definition of "color" is restricted to white, black, and grey. If the camera is looking through a window at night, it's infrared will reflect off the glass and back into the lens, making night-time recording a bust. Better put the camera outside. It also will not function without a wifi signal. When placed outside your house, the camera's wifi reception can be wonky depending on a host of factors. The camera's power cord is a rectangular USB which is a pain in the ass to fit through a drill-hole unless you feel like drilling a hole into your wall that's an inch in diameter. The cord itself is also quite short; maybe 7 feet long at best. Now the biggest buggaboo: you pretty much need to buy their security plan, which is $20 per camera per year. Why? Without said plan, you cannot adjust the criteria for triggering the camera's motion-sensor (and thus recorded events and motion-triggered notifications). This means you will get a notification on your phone every single time so much as a fart blows past this thing, and even then it will only record for 30 seconds. After that it won't record anything for another 5 minutes. This helpful cooldown timer means you'll get the cool 30 seconds of the thief trying to break into your house, but not the the next 5 minutes of him actually doing so and walking away with all your gold-bricks.The security plan lifts the (totally unnecessary) 5 minute cooldown timer, and allows you to set the camera's recording trigger to person, vehicles, package, pet, smoke alarm sounds, and a range of other criteria. It's actually quite good at differentiating between these things. That means you can have it notify you only when it sees people and vehicles, for example. There is also an SD card add-on that is highly suggested. Without the SD card, you'll have no physical copy of the footage. The SD card also allows the camera to record continuously even without a wifi signal. The card has enough capacity for about 4-5 days of continuous footage, and it automatically overwrites the oldest footage once it's reached capacity. The card plugs directly into the camera, which means it is vulnerable in the event that the camera itself is damaged or stolen.Overall, you should expect to spend a total of $45 up front for the camera with the SD card upgrade, plus a recurring payment of $20 a year per camera for as long as you intend to use the thing. This is still favorable for the average joe to other security cameras, which often range into the hundreds of dollars and have much more complicated installation. It's a great choice for home security, or maybe even a small business. You just have to overcome some shady business tactics and pay extra to avoid planned obsolescence.

I’m a first time telescope buyer and didn’t know what to buy or what to expect.I chose this one mostly based on reviews and price.Set up was pretty easy. And I was ready to go in about fifteen minutes.I haven’t had much time to try it for moon and stars because of cloud cover, but did see the moon pretty nicely one evening.As others have said, the tripod feels flimsy and does move if you bump it.But it is holding the telescope and I phone 7 steady. Just don’t open it quite all the way, and be gentle.At first it was rather difficult to move both horizontally and vertically in a steady motion.But with use it has become smoother.The photos show the phone mounted and camera on. And then just a photo. The tips of the trees are about 1/4 mile away and I used the lower power (20mm) lens.The Barlow lens makes everything very dark, and is probably best for bright objects at night.For those of you having trouble seeing anything; the spotting scope has to be aligned to work properly.ToyerBee forgot that part in the instructions and I was also frustrated until I looked it up.There are videos, as well as written instructions on line that made it relatively easy to do.All in all, I am pretty happy with my purchase.

Ok I bought this to stream with on. I was on a budget obsessively. But the lens a peers to be Like a fish eye Cam a little which kinda triggers me because its for streaming and it needs to look like a stream not a skate board video! But the Quality and everything is pretty good in my opinion. Just need to make the lends flat!

First, I own a Brunton head that is identical to this (I speculate Manfrotto bought this patent from them). The 322 is even better. It is so smooth, but has a very very positive grip. I tried a 324 and it was so harsh, ragged, and jerky that I sent it back in favor of the 322. I am exstatic about this decision. This ballhead is so exceptional. Yes, I gain 0.5 lb of bulk with the 322 over the 324, but I will easily live with that to gain the significantly better performance (my primary application is packing a spotting scope all over the hills, so weight is a minus, but like I said, I'd rather have the performance and pack the extra half pound). My wife has for her cameras an ArcaSwiss ball that is very expensive and solid, but we are going to try switching to this head for action shots with 400mm lens.Oh, and with my Brunton, it loosened up over time until I hated it and cussed it always. Then I read a review of the 327 on amazon and realized there is a nice allen/hex head adjustment screw near the base. A half twist and my Brunton is performing exceptionally. Based on my early use though, I think the 322 might be better. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FOR SPOTTING SCOPES AND EVEN FAIRLY HEAVY LENS/CAMERA COMBOS. This bugger sticks tight when I release the trigger and moves smoothly when the trigger is pulled. Very very good purchase. I'm thrilled.

I’m kind of wondering if I’m doing something wrong because I haven’t noticed much difference in my pictures after using this lens. I ordered it because I kept reading amazing reviews but honestly I haven’t seen any difference whatsoever in my pictures.

This thing is really awesome, 4K webcam (essentially) with support for lenses, and excellent image quality. The lens is quite good quality. Only issue I've had is occasional flickering in video, but it depends on the program I'm using and the resolution. Also wish there was a way to upgrade firmware (or if there is, a more CLEAR way to do so).

Look into getting an adjustable eye piece/lens. The two that come with it are ok to start with and are good for viewing the moon and planets. The focuser needs some improvements and doesn't allow for fine tuning. The stand is decent as well and light weight. However, the lighter weight of both the scope and stand allows for a bit of shaking in light wind.

I honestly love these goggles. I have used them various times and have never had any problem. These goggles do not fog up and stay firm on your face. I love the way they look and fact that you can take off the lens and replace it is also such a cool feature. LOVE THESE GOGGLES
