You MUST carry spare rotors!

The Q500 is a nice drone, but it is EASY to break the propellers, so you need to have spares with you unless you want to go home after the first 'Oh, $%^&' I really wish Yuneec would make them out of a non-breakable plastic, but these are brittle. Perhaps that is necessary for proper flight. I am not an engineer.

This is only for the DJI Phantom 4 drone. It gives you the advertised 28 minutes of flight time. Be sure to fully charge it before first use.

Nice but will NOT work for Phantom 4

I bought this case with my DJI Phantom 4 drone. When I got home with it, I quickly discovered that it is ONLY for the Phantom 3 drone. It says so right on the tag, which I did not read at the time of purchase. The drone will NOT fit into it, because the P4's camera gimble is different, and the batteries are different, and everything else is different. Best Buy advertises this for the Phantom 4, but you will be returning it if you want to use it to carry a Phantom 4 drone and the related components. This case is ONLY for the Phantom *3*

In a word - AWESOME!

This DJI Phantom 4 is my second drone. I bought it because of the great reviews and You Tube videos. It is VERY easy to fly, and it lives up to all of the hype in the promo videos and elsewhere. I have already added many accessories to it, and taken my first nail biter flight, a 2+ mile loop around my home and my neighbor's farm. It performed flawlessly. I am already looking to purchase DJI's next drone offering, the MAVIC, but that is a few weeks away. Just use your head and fly this responsibly and you will not regret your purchase!

Quirky but functional
on August 26, 2016
Posted by: joejones
Verified Purchase:Yes
The concept of a flat mouse that will not create a bulge in an otherwise flat tablet bag is nice,and this seems to address the issue. I like that it turns on when you bend it into a curve, and it shuts off when flattened. The click-bend concept works, but I have a heavy hand and I found myself suspending my hand over the mouse so as to not flatten it accidentally, which would turn it off.
The tiny Bluetooth USB dongle is great. I found that the mouse was not as responsive as I would like it to be. It is fine for working with something like a spreadsheet or a word processor, but when using it with a graphics program, the mouse had a noticeable lag time that was often frustrating.
I will continue to use it with a portable tablet PC to give it more of a workout. Perhaps with time, I will grow to like it more than I do now.

It does what it should do

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a battery backup unit. Its purpose is to provide A FEW MINUTES of A/C power to your computer when the utility power goes out. This will give you time to properly SHUT DOWN your computer. It is NOT intended to be used as a power supply at some place such as a campground.
I only gave it four stars because the top button design allows dirt and grit to get into it, making the button STICK and not work properly in a dirty environment such as a workshop. The power button NEEDS to be redesigned!

Worth the price

This wireless mouse is very responsive when I use it with a CAD/CAM program. As with ANY wireless mouse, you have to remember to turn it OFF when you are not using it. When I grab it and turn it ON it only takes the computer a second to recognize that the mouse is moving, and after that, it works flawllessly.

I love the fact that the keyboard uses the three pins on the iPad PRO for power, so you don't have to remember to turn the keyboard on, or sync it up with Bluetooth, or charge it. It is VERY well made, and it acts as a protective case for the iPad PRO when it is closed. I will advise EVERY IPad PRO owner to buy this keyboard!

warranty and equipment protection policy
The description says it covers $150,000 of replacing equipment that is plugged into this UPS. Does that include a $36,000 long-arm quilting machine?
You would have to ask the manufacturer about that. I believe it ONLY covers your computer equipment, but if the computer that runs your quilting machine is plugged into the APC, then I imagine it would! Call the manufacturer. Ask THEM!

I have 1 desktop computer and an iPad,lots of pics and lots of music. What back up system would you recommend ?
Nick, the APC unit is not a generator. It is only a power BUFFER that provides a few minutes of power in the event your utility power goes out. it is meant to allow you to properly SHUT DOWN your computer ONLY.

How many hours can run this backup battery without power
This unit will run a normal computer, LCD or LED monitor, your router and/or modem for a few MINUTES, but it is not a generator. It is only to be used to give you enough reserve power to properly SHUT DOWN your computer in the event of a power outage.

The load is rated in WATTS.
Use the APC unit for your PC, your monitor and your router and/or modem. When the power goes out, it will not affect your computer, if your external accessories like your desktop speakers, printer, scanner, webcam, etc. suddenly stop working. The purpose for this APC unit is to allow you to properly and quickly SHUT DOWN your computer in the event of a power outage.

This is not intended to RUN your computer. The purpose of a battery backup is for when your utility power suddenly goes out. Instead of your computer suddenly shutting down, perhaps while writing a file to the hard drive (which would cause drive errors), the APC unit gives you a few MINUTES of power to PROPERLY shut down your computer, by closing files and programs, and doing a proper SHUT DOWN. That is the ONLY purpose for this APC unit.
