You’ve Got To Be Kidding
I had an F8HP but could not live with the fact it couldn’t be programmed on the fly. BTECH recommended the 5x3. I tried it alongside the F8HP. From a programming standpoint it was GREAT and did everything I needed. But it couldn’t receive anything. I put the radios side by side and while the F8HP was receiving everything I expected, the 5x3 was basically dead.BTECH had me return the radio so they could “warranty” it. And while the second 5x3 does perform better than the first one, it is far from acceptable. The receiver isn’t strong enough to break tone squelch on most of the local repeaters. I disabled tone squelch and I could at least hear the repeaters, albeit weakly. It doesn’t receive county emergency channels at all; the F8 absolutely did. I even tried a Nagoya antenna with no improvement.I can’t understand why BTECH would improve the software on a radio with an outdated chip set. I’ll throw it in the glove box or give it to the kids. Sad that we base everything on cost. I can’t recommend these for serious use, at least not where I live. I’d rather spend the money and get something I can trust.Update 2: I’ve tried a counterpoise ground plane, and even connected this radio to a portable j-pole antenna to help reception. What a joke! This radio must be popular with the urban cowboy and air-soft tin soldier crowd. It brings new meaning to the term “disposable” radio.

Great option for a good price
I use it on my sled and my snowboard. For the price this is a great camera. Picture quality is good. I like the hard case and all the accessories. The remote is really handy. If your looking for a nice camera without spending too much, buy this one

Very good range finder
I was looking for an inexpensive range finder for golf and this one came highly rated.Three basic features: Scan, Golf, Speed. I can tell I'll never use the Speed feature so basically two useful features.Pros: Inexpensive, light weight, accurate, very easy to use, nice carry case. For my first range finder, I found it easy to use. It's easy to see and pick up the flag. It will vibrate when it lock in and displays the distance.Con: Can't "turn off" the Slope feature in Golf mode. Bummer. Slope measurements are illegal in sanctioned golf tournaments.BUT you could use the Scan feature which does not have any slope measurements if you wanted to use this device in a golf tournament. The down side is that you can't lock in a reading on a target. You still can get distance to the flag by scanning back and forth over the flag.Tip: Purchase an inexpensive camera mono-pod that's collapsible and it can be used to stabilize the unit and you can up it in your golf bag with your clubs and never forget or leave the unit behind.

Bright music light. Needs a better on/off button.
I often have a hard time seeing music clearly in low lighting, so needed something like this to carry with me. I like the level of brightness, and especially that there are 3 levels. The battery seems sturdy, but I haven't used it enough yet to determine how well it stays charged. One major thing I do not like about this is that the on/off button protrudes from the top of the lighting bar, so if you pack it to travel the light can turn on in your music bag if pressed against anything else, thereby draining the battery. I'll use this, but will probably continue to look for another with the power switch located in the clip-on base.

Tres bon support apres vente
Petit soucis avec ma camera mais le support après vente a été très réactif! Je teste la nouvelle camera qui me semble a la premiere approche très bien, spécialement pour le prix. Merci

Good quality and reasonable price
I like this little Roxant monocular. It's easy to use, light enough to throw in the little bag I wear for "supplies" when hiking but still feels substantial enough, i.e. not flimsy. I'm not an "expert" on optical equipment like this (one reviewer sounded very knowledgeable), but it works well for my purposes. The visual is good and the design is easy. And it's a nice touch to have the lanyard ring available on it and the two protective end caps; all this at a fair price. I mostly use it for hiking although it's very handy for seeing something important from my car's driver seat when necessary.

Decent quality, easy to set up.
Telescope is great! It was easy to set it up to see the craters in the moon but haven’t been able to see the other planets and stars are hard to narrow in on using the largest magnification. It could be because I’m a beginner too. Also, it seems that it’s front heavy(expected), but too heavy for the telescope to be angled back and have it stay put despite tightening the screw on the angle tightener. I wish the bag was a little stiffer to provide more stability and support for the telescope and maybe a little bigger so I don’t have to take off the scope finder every time. Other than that, I enjoy it being my first telescope.

Quality Gimble
The media could not be loaded.
I have had this gimble for about 3 months now and I have enjoyed using it for vlogging family trips and YouTube videos. It is perfect for a beginner. It was pretty easy to get the hang of it and I found the instructions and videos included in the app very helpful. I really like the sturdiness of the gimble and how I can rotate my camera/iPhone with the button on the handle. The battery life is great especially when you’re recording long videos and I like that I can just charge it via USB in the car while traveling. It is also very easy to travel with as it comes with a nice quality dust bag and can be folded down to go inside. I appreciate the wristlet it comes with as well so that I can wear the gimble around my wrist without the risk of it falling in case it slips out of my hand. I have some trouble with it stabilizing when rotating right or left when in landscape mode but that’s my only con. Overall, I would recommend this product for any content creators, videographers, and photographers. It also comes with a small tripod to capture those family photos or selfies in scenic places!
