Great smart-switch; does not include switch plate

Verified Purchase:Yes
Note: this includes the switch only. It does not include the switch plate cover (as pictured). Great solution if you are replacing multiple switches in a single switch box (where you will need a multi-switch plate cover).
Purchased this to add another switch to my already established Lutron setup.
The Lutron hub, Lutron app, switches, and interface to Google Home / Google Assistant are top-notch.

Outlets spaced well + lighting and 4-port USB Ext

If you need a Home Theatre power strip / surge protector, look no further. This one meets all of the basic needs and has a number of fantastic bonus features,
The outlets on this are spaced nicely to accommodate normal power cords along with those bulky AC/DC Power adapters (aka Wall Warts).
The switchable LED lighting is a huge bonus, makes it super easy to see behind the TV Stand (to add new toys).
The 'flush mount' wall plug and braided power cable are fantastic finishing touches.
The 4-port USB extension is a killer feature - providing a 'clean' USB charging solution for all of the USB devices used in the entertainment area.
Highly Recommended!

Rock out with this electric bass guitar that features a Diamond Bass bridge for increased resonance and sustain. The flame maple top and mahogany back and sides provide durable construction and rich, warm tones.

Great Bass for beyond beginner
on September 16, 2017
Posted by: bigRfastRbetR
from Prior Lake, MN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Arrived on time in a very well packaged box. Bass was 'ready to play' out of the box, just needed to be tuned.
The picture doesn't really do the the look of this bass any justice. It's got a glossy black background with a cool smoke/flame pattern in really dark grays on the face.
Purchased for my teenage son who is a talented musician, although just beginning bass guitar. Wanted to get him a bass that would be more advanced than a beginner model that he would appreciate playing as he progresses, while keeping the cash outlay reasonable.
He's been learning/playing for a few months and likes the feel of the guitar, especially the narrow neck that allows him to easily reach the strings. We've had some friends over (more advanced guitarists) who've played this guitar and, while everyone's got their preferred brand of guitar, all have given this guitar solid reviews on it's sound, controls, and general 'playability'.
We paired this with an Ampeg bass amp. Combining the controls on the guitar with the controls on the amp, he's able to shape a broad range of sound from clean / punchy to raspy / grindy to muddy / mellow (apologies to the 'real' bass musicians that might use different words to describe shape of the sound!).
Overall, this is a beautiful guitar that sounds great. I'm confident that be a good fit for many years as my son advances in his skill level.

Good for DSLR
on January 28, 2017
Posted by: bigRfastRbetR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Upgraded to Slingshot 250 from the 150. The 150 didn't work with my Nikon D500 with the battery grip attached. It's a tight fit in the 250 but it works.
Plenty of dividers in the camera section, wish it had something similar in the top portion of the bag.
Has adequate zipper storage in the top section for extra batteries and memory cards. Also has a convenient tripod holder (buckle straps) on the front. Pocket on the side worked well for my DJI Osmo Mobile, although I had to take a buckle strap from another camera bag to ensure it was secure.
Straps are comfortable. The waist belt/buckle is a bit tricky to secure, however I typically use it as a sling without the waist belt.
The camera / lens section is enough for a body with an attached lens and 1 or two additional lenses provided none are large lenses. I had a 18-300 on my camera (large telephoto) and had to put my secondary lenses in travel sacks in the top section.
Overall, it's a solid bag that allows me to safely transport my gear to kids sporting events. The ease of the single strap sling, with all of the gear on my back makes it easy to navigate through the crowd (compared to the traditional cube style camera bag).

Compact/Light - Great for on-site shoots
on January 24, 2017
Posted by: bigRfastRbetR
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a very light and compact tripod. It comes with a convenient case to put it in when transporting (I wish there was a small zippered compartment in the case to keep an extra quick release and tools though).
Each leg has a two position adjustment for angle lock, and three telescoping sections secured by latch-style clamps. These features enable you to quickly and securely get the tripod setup for shooting.
Since it is light and compact, with the legs fully extended it does require a little manual intervention (i.e a heavy hand below the head attachment) to stabilize when panning and tilting.
If used for still photography in low light / slow shutter speeds, you may want to consider a remote shutter release when using with the legs fully extended..
My primary use for the tripod is to shoot video at kids sporting events. I am using a Nikon D500 w/ battery grip and a telephoto lens. The tripod easily handled the weight of the camera, grip, and lens.
Note: the included ball mount is intended for still photography; I attached a separately purchased Manfrotto fluid video head.
This tripod gets high marks in both the compact and light categories (making it ideal for transporting/travel), although the trade-off is a bit less stability than a traditional cross-braced tripod.

First unit not working, exchange not yet received.
on November 21, 2016
Posted by: bigRfastRbetR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Waited two weeks for this unit to be available to order on bestbuy.com.
Ordered it on a Friday evening and received it the following week on Friday (required a signature, so make sure you can be home on the delivery date).
Plugged in the unit and it repeatedly cycled through Power On and Off (lights and fans turned on / off, no output to display).
Called CyberPower Tech support and per their instructions I re-seated the four memory sticks and the video card.
CyberPower's tech support was a helpful crew, although in the end the PC was still not functioning correctly. As determined through the troubleshooting, the 3rd memory slot on the motherboard was causing the problem. It seems to me like that should have been identified in the Quality Control process.
On Saturday afternoon, I brought the PC into my local Best Buy store. Based on the problem identified with CyberPower tech support, they made the determination to exchange the product.
Exchange was completed. As of the next week Wednesday, I had not received an email to indicate the order had been shipped. Called Best Buy help line Wednesday evening. The call agent was very friendly, although after extensive investigation the agent was unable to locate my order or provide any status update on when the exchanged unit would arrive.
It is now a week and two days since the exchange was completed. Needless to say, it’s taken about a month to get to this point and still no indication on when I’ll receive the replacement PC.
I'm hopeful to get this unit sometime soon (based on other great reviews) and will update with an actual product review when that occurs.

Will this bag hold an Olympus OMD EM 5 mark 2 wth an attached 12-40 f2.8 pro lens attached and an Olympus 40-150 f2.8 pro lens?
The slingshot 250 will definitely accommodate your EM 5 with a 12-40 attached. There is also ample space in the camera padded section for the 40-150 lens.
I use it with a Nikon D500 w/ both a battery grip and an 18-300 lens attached. I chose to put my tripod accessories, video mic, and extra batteries in the lower section for quick access. I put two other lenses in the top section. The top section is spacious, although no padded dividers, so I put my lenses in their individual lens bags to keep them protected.
