Works Great, Easy Setup, Stylish
on March 21, 2016

from Milwaukee, WI
I was looking for a charging stand for my watch. I had been charging it just sitting on my nightstand, but I kept knocking it off.
I purchased this stand because of the built in cable organizer. I like being able to wrap up the extra charging cable to keep things neat.
The stand is easy to assemble. The hardest part is getting it out of the box.

Great Value and Performance

I picked this drive up to upgrade my wife's 13" MacBook Pro (Late 2011). I purchased the 240 GB version as she never really used more than 100 GB of her original hdd.
Installing the drive was really easy.
The computer feels much snappier now - definitely worth $60. The advertised read/write speeds appear to be fairly accurate.

Perfect travel mouse for Surface Pro 3
on July 9, 2015
Posted by: bbrossard
from Milwaukee, WI
I purchased this mouse to compliment my Surface Pro 3. I wanted a travel mouse that was small to carry but large enough to not make me feel uncomfortable using it.
The mouse folds flat to carry, so it certainly is very easy to pack. A plus is when the mouse it folded flat, it automatically shuts off so you don't have to worry about any additional switches or running down the batteries.
I like that it's bluetooth so that I don't have to take up the 1 USB port on the side of the Surface for a mouse dongle.
The touch wheel area works well once you get used to it. I had to shut off the middle click because I was hitting it accidentally. The settings app for this mouse in the Windows Store works well and lets you change what button clicks do and adjust the volume and vibration of the touch wheel.
I would recommend this for travel use. I would not recommend this for desktop use all the time - there are better mice for that (that are also cheaper).

Nice upgrade from original 7D
on July 9, 2015
Posted by: bbrossard
from Milwaukee, WI
We purchased our original 7D from Best Buy in 2011. It has served us well since then and still is a great camera. Purchasing the 7D Mk II was a no-brainer upgrade from our original 7D.
Some of the nice upgrades include:
-Built in GPS for geotagging photos and/or logging trips.
-Greatly improved AF.
-Now has 10 fps burst mode (the original 7D had 8 fps).
-Improved video features, including a headphone jack for monitoring audio during recording
-Dual card slots (one for CF and one for SD). This makes using a wifi SD card possible without an SD to CF adapter if you want cheap wifi.
-New dial around the joystick that by default changes AF modes, but can be programmed to other functions if you want.
-Improved ISO performance over the original 7D.
The one con I would have against this camera is the lack of onboard wifi. While I understand the metal casing on the camera reduced wifi performance, the only way to add official wifi is with a pretty expensive external wifi device (upwards of $700). You can, of course, use a SD wifi card for transferring files, but it does not allow remote shooting like the official wifi adapter.

Great Filter, Low Profile
on July 9, 2015
Posted by: bbrossard
from Milwaukee, WI
I purchased two of these filters to cover newly purchased 67 mm Canon lenses.
The filter is of good quality and once you take the 62-67 mm adapter ring off, the filter is low profile on the end of the lens and looks nice.
Most Canon L series lenses that are weather sealed require use of a uv filter on the end of the lens to be fully weather sealed (some super tele L lenses do not require a filter), so this is a must purchase for those lenses. And I'd much rather spend $10 at Best Buy for this filter than $100+ at the camera store for something that is almost virtually identical.

Works Good, Easy to Install
on June 25, 2013
Posted by: bbrossard
from Milwaukee, WI
I bought this portable AC unit to replace an older window AC unit for our living room.
Setup is easy - unpack unit and connect exhaust hose to window using included mounting hardware. The unit comes with a rather long power cord, so making it to an outlet is easy. It's certainly easier to install than a window air conditioner since no lifting is required and you don't have to worry about mounting a heavy ac unit in the window frame.
The unit comes with a full featured IR remote that works well. There is a small LCD on the remote that indicates fan speed, mode, and set temperature. During operation, the unit is pretty quite. Your certainly not going to forget it's running when your in the same room - but it's not distracting.
During cool mode, a drain hose is not needed. However, if you want to use it in dry mode you will need to hook up a drain hose via the garden hose connector on the back of the unit. There is a place to store the exhaust hose on the back of the unit when it's not in use for the winter.
My only real complaint is that the unit is rather large. It does have wheels, however, for easy moving around the house if you want. The exhaust hose gets rather warm during operation (think warm to the touch, not hot).
What's great about it: Very easy to install, decent price, not too loud
What's not so great: Unit is pretty large

Great choice for casual racing gamers
on October 29, 2012
Posted by: bbrossard
from Milwaukee, WI
For anyone thinking of picking up a wheel for casual racing gaming, this is a really good choice.
I purchased the Wireless Speed Wheel for use with Forza 4. The wheel really works great in Forza - it exceeded my expectations for control in the game.
I wanted a racing wheel but was hesitant to buy a larger table top wheel due to how much space it would take up in the living room when not in use. This is perfect as when it's not in use, it can go right in the drawer with the rest of the controllers.
Build quality of the wheel is really good. The buttons and d-pad feel good (it's the same d-pad as a standard 360 controller; the colored buttons are slightly smaller than standard but feel the same). Depending on what game you are using the wheel with, the controls are customizable. In Forza, you can assign shifting to either the d-pad or the colored buttons (if you use manual shifting).
The controller has the standard vibration motor and it works well in game. As it's a wireless wheel, it does not have force feedback (as it lacks the base for motors and such), but the vibration works well.
The only major downside I found is that you can't shut off the green halo lights on the top of the wheel. They come on when the wheel would be giving force feedback (if it did have force feedback) and it's kind of annoying at night. It also doesn't have a jack to plug in your Live headset - you need a wireless headset if you want to use a mic.
What's great about it: Small, Good control, Good Build Quality
What's not so great: No mic jack, Can't shut off lights
I would recommend this to a friend!

which is the best video len sfor canon 7D mark ii as a Professional touch ?

The newer Canon STM lenses work great with video and the 7D Mk II. The kit lens (18-135 STM IS) is a great lens for video. The focus is quiet and you have a decent range of zoom.
