This is a great little device if your primary DVD writer goes out or you have a chrome book. It quiet like a hybrid car, slot loading so you don't have to worry about a jammed door track that won't eject. Plug and play OS recognition. One drawback is the software that comes with it. It will let you burn stuff, store stuff, but no real good software to just view movies. Would I get it again knowing what I know now. Yes.

This product is very good. I like it better than the Insignia version of this flash for my Canon DSLR. Although it is heavier than others, say the Insignia version, it's refresh time is awesome. In addition, the range on this flash is very even in disbursement, even beyond the 30 ft. range. It has worked out extremely well for me to highlight shadows, even out photo's, and sinc's well with my Canon.

Light Heavyweight

I really enjoy this product. It performs as if it were a heavy weight or more expensive tripod. It is very light. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to adjust it or set it up the way I wanted. It goes up and down, can lock in a fixed angled position, has a built in level device which helps on a hill or when you want a level picture on uneven ground. The legs and neck both telescope, which allows a man of up to about 6' 6" to work with it and goes low enough that a height challenged individual could also feel comfortable using it. I couldn't have asked for a better device for the small price I paid for it. Secures and stabilizes my Canon camera really securely.

This light weight boom microphone is awesome. It is simple to install - no software, batteries, just plug into your camera mic slot and go. This thing performed so well, I felt like a professional. The volume and clarity of my HD video's via my Cannon camera, took my video to the next level of quality. Great return on my investment. Used it to record an impromptu graduation party and it made a significant difference.

These batteries perform better than expected. The recharge unit is unassuming and effective. It does not take long to charge batteries and has a light indicator so you know when the batteries are fully charged. I used one set of these batteries in a flash gun to shoot an all evening birthday party. The batteries powered the flash for continuous burstings without fault.

This product is okay. The pop up flash in my Canon DSLR doesn't give as much flash power as this device; but the flash only yields about a 20 - 25% increase over it. The range is good for about 15 - 20 feet maximum. I was a bit disappointed; but in its' defense, the product was easy to use. I just slid it on and adjusted the screw and it was ready to go. It does do what is advertised and performs well. If you just need a low - middle grade flash product, this is a good buy.

I need to isolate a problem with a wireless network printer and the router. This cable worked the first time I plugged it directly into the router and ported it to the network printer. This cable is durable, is well insulated against RF interference, and doesn't pick up EM or other electrical hiccups that would hamper data packets. Great plug and play and resilience features built in.

This go phone actually surprised me. I thought it would be a poor choice; but it proved to be quite robust. I added a SD card of 32 gigabytes and it really performs well. The screen is a bit sensitive. You barely touch it and the icons or apps start up. Not good have as a but phone, as it will call any and everyone. With a case to cover the screen it is a real good deal for the money.

These earbuds sound really great and do a great job of reproducing the sound. I however am discouraged because the lines break easily. I have had mine for less than two months and one of the earbuds doesn't work because the line is shorted. Disappointing.

How many minutes does a &45 card have. after 90days i could reload the card. do it have to be $45 or could it be less. where do i go to reload

Technically you don't have to buy the cards in $45 increments. The card you buy is based on the amount of your plan per month. Unfortunately, the Go Phone will not renew for the next month if the amount of balance on your card is less than the amount needed for the card per month. I have brought a $50 card one month, and a $40 card the next month to make sure my plan renewed.

My son will be camping and at&t is the only service in this area. I want to make sure he has a phone that works in this area so what is the best route? It will only be for 5 days. We have our primary service with Verizon

AT&T Go phone service at Best Buy. $45.00 per month or same phone from AT&T at Best Buy. Call 611 for customer service from phone and tell them you want the $45.00 per month plan with unlimited phone and text and 1.5 Gig data or just tell them the Walmart AT&T plan - $45.00 per month. Coverage area is the same as the post paid AT&T plans. Some AT&T Go phones at Best Buy have a phone card included which gives you time with the phone. You can get phones as cheap as $20 - $25.00 at Best Buy.

Hope this helps and wishing your child an awesome camping experience.

Capture TV signals 45 miles or more from the tower with this RCA indoor antenna. Its SmartBoost technology amplifies and filters signals for optimal picture quality, even for 4K and 1080 HDTV programs. The separate flat-panel UHF and VHF dipole elements of this RCA indoor antenna receive the full range of broadcast TV stations.
 

I have this RCA Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna. Can you tell me if you have instructions for connection? I did not get any in my package. It says it will catch HD channels with ROKU. I have an HDTV Vizio and ROKU . I think I Have connected it wrong.

1. Plug the power supply into the wall and the other end of the power supply into the little round hole in the back base of the antennae.
2. Next take the cable that runs from the back of the antennae that looks like it screws onto a cable tv box and connect it to the antennae input on your tv. If you can't figure this part out, just remember that the round spot with a hole in the middle is where you should be connecting the cable from the antennae.
3. Go into the tv settings, choose setup, then tell the tv to scan for new channels. This could take up to 10 -1 2 minutes.
4. Once the t.v. says it is done, you should be ready to view local channels.

Hope this helps.

I am 60 miles away from broadcast- will it pick up signal?

I am about 45 -50 miles from my broadcast signal and it still receives. The box says about 40 - 45 miles; but if you are in an open flat area, you may be able to still receive signals. Lots of trees, high voltage lines, and real close light rail systems may hamper the strength of your signal. Don't forget that radio and HDTV signals travel further at night than during the day. That being said, you may not have as many channels during the day as at night.

What will I need to watch a DVD movie using this drive and my ASUS Desktop?

All you will need is a software product to view it with. The cyber software that comes with it will allow you to view movies for 30 days free once you register it via the internet. I would recommend finding something like Power DVD or some free software too use for viewing movies. Unit itself works great.
