AMAZING, Best Macro Lens I’ve ever used
on June 13, 2017
Posted by: JaBo
from Ky
This lens is amazing, the clarity and 1 to 1 replication of subject at Macro is just unbelievable. You can get the lens right up to the subject (about 2 inches by my tests).
It’s a great lens for general shooting as well, and the added macro light is such a great feature to have.

The price tag for this lens seems way too low for the amount of lens you get.

Canon EF-S 18-135mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens: Get a versatile lens with the Canon 18-135mm IS lens. Smooth, silent autofocus combines with powerful image stabilization that gives you up to 4 stops of shake correction to deliver sharp images quickly. At 18mm, you get wide-angle images, but at 135mm, this Canon 18-135mm IS lens gets you even closer to the action.

Amazing Lens, such an improvement from non- "L"s

Focuses ridiculously fast, great bokah, great sharpness and clarity, sets standard for "kit" lenses, although it's not really a kit lens.

Initially, I had a 5 star review up on this, as I was so impressed with immediately after buying it. Well that impression quickly fled as the flaws on this controller rose and have been harassing me since.
The flaws are primarily design based, and could have easily been corrected if Microsoft had conducted a thorough beta test and included human systems integration.
Main issue is that the controller needs a physical "off on" switch, so you can set the controller down with out backing out of games or interrupting videos. Do not set this down on a couch, as you will definitely hit the paddles. Do not pay it in the case either, this will also activate the paddles. Handing over controller to someone else? Paddles activated. Picking up controller from table? Paddles activated. I use paddles for FPS, which means one of the paddles is a "b" button. The amount of times I accidently backout of games is beyond frustrating!
To mitigate this issue, you have to program one of the two slots to be an "off" or unprogrammed paddles. This is the only solution. But this solution takes 50% of your programmed slots away, so that sucks.
I've also had the controller lose connection randomly display "please reconnect controller" for no reason, even with fresh batteries. Always happens at inconvenient times, like kill streaks builds.
Great concept, I commend MS for making the step to help more serious gamers, but they have a lot of work ahead of them. Hopefully the next generation will include actual gamer beta time.

Skip the 4k monitors, this monitor is the best ATM
on July 6, 2016
Posted by: JaBo
from Ky
BLUF: This is the best monitor on the market at the moment, even over there 4k monitors. The curved screen does in fact help, and the screen feels bigger than one thats just straight. I was skeptical that this monitor would be worth it, I had been using a 24 inch 1080p LCD HDTV that I had sitting around. The switch was just amazing. Don't hesitate, buy this monitor!

Zubie sells your driving info to insurance co's
on February 4, 2016
Posted by: JaBo
from Ky
Zubie seems innocuous enough, but it's actually big brother in trojan horse!
Read their privacy information, they sell your driving data (including whether you speed or not) to insurance companies. You are basically allowing a company monitor your driving for the benefit of the insurance companies. All the while you pay them the fee to do it. At least Geico, All state, et al... take a % off your insurance bill and the device is free.
Also, their tracking information is 100% allowed to be taken by police/ law enforcement if you were involved in a car accident or supposedly in a crime.
Serious 4,5,6th amendment issues.

IT'S MISLEADING ON WHAT THIS DEVICE DOES , IT'S JUST AN OVERPAID DEVICE TO SEE HOW YOU ARE DRIVING, IT IS NOT A TRUE TRACKING DEVICE IN THE SENSE THAT YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE CAR WITH YOUR PHONE TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON, I WOULD NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT AGAIN

WHATS the Differance between this and the Original P4 and the P4 Pro ????
ALOT, generally speaking, DJI's best in class drones will be labled "pro" and the mid class is named "advanced".
The P4 Advanced is basically the original P4 with a slightly better camera.
The P4Pro has 360 degree obstical avoidance, 1 inch CMOS camera sensor with 20MP, and a mechanical shutter, dedicated uplink and downlink wifi connection that uses BOTH 2.4 and 5mhz, and is better motors.
The P4 Advanced makes no sense other than DJI's attempt to make more money on old P4 bodies. They discontinued the P4 (which sold for $849-999), added a slightly better camera to it, shipped a new name on it, and raised the price by 400-500 dollars. Its crazy!
Additionally, the P4Pro is on sale right now for $1399, only $50 more -- which makes the P4 Advanced even more ridiculously overpriced.

Does the P4pro use same battery as P4?
Yes, it accepts the P4Pro and P4 batteries. Honestly though, avoid this drone, buy the PRO and be happy you did not waste your money on this inferior aircraft.

Why does this have only a 15 day warrante
DJI has insisted on retailers reducing their return period to 15 days, in order to eliminate "frivolous" (their words) returns, and "sustain" sales. They forced Target to also comply to the 15 day return period.
They can do this due to the nature of retail sales. DJI provides the drones to Best Buy on credit, when Best Buy completes a sale of a drone, that drone's "credit" becomes due to the vendor (DJI). When an individual returns a drone within the return period, Best Buy does not have to pay out for that sale (as its been returned). Best Buy is then able to either send the opened drone back to DJI, or accept it and sell as open box. In case of open box, Best Buy will pay DJI on same timeline as if original buy never returned it.
Hope that helps.

Is there anyway a top of a drone can be replaced. There a small spot where there is a little seperation, We an still fly it, One of the prop holders is a little off-not muck. If it can be fixed please send me an address. Thank you for your cooperati
Yes, but it is expensive and difficult. The cover has some components that require resoldering if you replace the cover. DJI is your best bet for repair.

Can this 27" monitor be used as a TV set? Your 24" monitor is beautiful as both a monitor and a TV set.
It is not capable of receiving over the air TV content...aka it doesn't have an internal tuner...but that does really mean anything anymore as most people have digital HDTV boxes such as Xfinity X1, or Direct TV HDR, or The Hopper. These devices do the digital tuning and send the signal to the TV or monitor.
So yes, this will work as a HDTV as long as you have a digital tuner (or use your computer) hooked up to it.

HDMI input/output
Is a home theater system worth getting if it doesn't have a HDMI input or output. Example: Samsung - 1000W 5.1-Ch. Blu-ray Home Theater System
Model: HT-C5500XAA | SKU: 9766619
Model: HT-C5500XAA | SKU: 9766619
Quite honestly, I'm not sure why manufacturers are still putting out these DVD/BR stand alone sound systems? With the prevalence of XBOX 360, PS3, Wii, Sat TV, etc... they must adapt inputs for these in their HTIB systems!
I would never buy a HTIB system that relies on your TV audio out to input all sound to the sound system (which is what these DVD/BR systems do currently).
The only company that I know of that offers a decent HTIB system with inputs is Sony. Look at the SS2300, or ss360 (can't remember which model they are on now).
