HDMI are good

Verified Purchase:Yes
Let me be truthful here,
I purchase these HDMI cable to actually test whether a more costly HDMI is worth the money compare to other cheaper options.
By all means, these cables are built with strength. I love how these looks as well as I never worry about loose connection between the male and female ends, cable feels like they will never rip, these cable do not pinch when rolled up, sound and video quality are amazing.
comparing to other HDMI options, it works similar or just the same.
this is coming from an average person using this fo raverage things. watching tv, games, read online articles, youtube, etc. Nothing I do really pushes the limit of the television/HDMI cables.
I do run multiple 4K videos and it seems to work fine.

Fantastic TV
on October 18, 2017
Posted by: Frank
from Long Beach
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchase this specific size and brand because it fits my wall in my room nicely as well as I enjoy the colors coming from Samsung.
I will honestly say if I wanted better colors, I would have chosen Sony.
However Samsung hue is really nice for an average person looking for a tv to watch movies and play games.
It so far has surpassed my expectation.
I enjoy the many connections it has behind the tv as well as on the One Connect.
The OneConnect is a love and hate relationship.
I love the convenience of having an external hub to connect my peripherals, but I wish there was a mount of some sort behind the tv or maybe on a wall mount (I am using one)
but I solved this issue using Velcro! just a little tip for all you guys.
the internet on this tv is average.
Do not expect it to amaze you in any way. It does the job of searching if you are using the browser. This does not phase me in any way as my television is hooked up to my desktop.
Further more, all the app works wonderfully, just because when there is a tv update.
this is a non tv issue and more Samsung software.
1 update removed youtube compatibility in my tv, I had to wait till they fixed it in the next update.
other than that, I love the looks of the tv, thin frame, black is total black, colors are amazing especially in 4k videos.

Camera for starters!
on October 5, 2017
Posted by: Frank

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love mirrorless cameras. This one continues my love for them.
before I get to the good stuff, here is one thing that went wrong with my camera.
By no means this issue would change my mind on this camera. I love it still.
during a photoshoot, my shutter gave out and gave an error message. Sony upheld their warranty on it and is currently being fix.
now onwards to the meat of the review.
1) Photo quality is fantastic
2) Video quality clear and crisp
3) camera built-in mind I was worried but it worked better than expected. I still recommend a boom mic but if you are on a budget, the intenal mic is good.
The camera has a program to reduce the wind noise
4) action shots was this camera main reason to exist. takes amazing shot.
5) the camera is light weight and the lens availability for this camera is endless! especially with the additional A-mount adaptors.
if you want start taking photos for fun or to learn the camera's physics (iso,shutter, exposure, etc.) this camera will be great. it doesn't hurt your bank account too much like others but you get high quality photos that I believe is comparable to canon, Nikon and others in their respective tiers.

External Battery for quick charge on the go
on October 5, 2017
Posted by: Frank
from Long Beach
Verified Purchase:Yes
Don't expect anything out this than to just charge your phone on the go.
This is a good backup battery when needed.
I bought this because it was small, fit nicely in either a fanny pak, purse and pocket.
This will provide you 1 or 2 full charge for a cell phone.

tripod for the junkyard
on October 5, 2017
Posted by: Frank
from Long Beach
Verified Purchase:Yes
I thought I give this tripod a try.
this tripod defines the "you get what you paid for"
It was by far the worse tripod built.
yes it was extremely light and extremely small when folded (which why I chose to try it out)
how ever, the built quality is poor, the locking mechanism is lacking (the legs will sink if you add too much weight) so good luck using this tripod when you are using telephoto lens.
the balance on this tripod is horrific. Never have I ever experience a tripod that was meant to provide stability to be nonexistence on one.

Tripod for beginners and travelers
on October 5, 2017
Posted by: Frank
from Long Beach
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this tripod so much! It was either the manfrotto or this.
I chose this due to the cost and how small it can get when you fold it up.
I have taken this everywhere! Its been used at Joshua Tree, photoshoots, parks, hikes, etc. This tripod is not only portable but extremely light!!!
2 things I must state that may change your mind on this.
1) There is no "handle" to turn the mount when taking panning. There is a small knob but a handle (in my opinion) would have been better.
2) The shoulder strap for the case should be better. Mine ripped from the constant usage.

Phone for the future

Verified Purchase:Yes
I enjoy the S8 a lot.
With that said, I will say this to anyone that is interested in a S8.
If you like the side edge bar then purchase the S8, if you do not, then save some money and buy another phone without it.
Overall, I absolutely love this phone. The camera is awesome. Clear and Crisp. Way better than my Note 3 I had previously.
The speed on this phone is quick however, I do wish it had more RAM.
the volume and sound out of this phone is really good for a phone speaker.
the only con (in my own opinion) is the home button. I still would prefer have a button rather double tapping or pressing onto the screen itself.

Gopro

Verified Purchase:Yes
The gopro takes great photos and videos. There is nothing else to say.
now what I can say about the material that is used to make this is okay.
I wish the glass they use in front of the info indicator was made with a more stratch or crack resistant. the 1st day, a crack formed..
I thought since gopro are used for heavy usage for sports and adventure that this would not be an issue.
But it is.
other than that, I love it.
