Timeless Gangster Classic

One of my all time favorite gangster flicks. Goodfellas has an amazing cast and entertaining story. I picked this up to take a trip down memory lane since the last time I bought this, it was on DVD. The upgrade to 4k blu-ray is definitely a step up :)

John Wick Rocks!

Verified Purchase:Yes
So I haven't been keeping up with movies for a while now. Been so busy with work and other responsibilities that they just kinda took a back seat for a few years. A friend of mine suggested I check out John Wick (The first movie) on my new LG OLED. So I did, and I was blown away. I loved the first movie so went out the next day and bought this one. The sequel doesn't disappoint either.
The visuals, sound, and action keep me entertained from start to finish. Love this series and hope there is a 3rd movie

I picked this movie up for nostalgia reasons. The movie looks and sounds awesome. Still a great movie for testing out your sound system and wowing your friends and family :)
Top Gun is an awesome movie, if you haven't seen it yet. Take a minute to crawl out from under your rock and check it out

The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew's maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before.

Total Mind Blow

Verified Purchase:Yes
When this movie first released I didn't expect much. But I gotta say, the cast and crew they selected absolutely nailed their roles! They portray their characters so well, I was mind blown at how much I really enjoyed this film.
Since recently upgrading to 4k, I had to get this updated blu-ray. I really love the new Star Trek reboot franchise

Better than the Turtle Beach - Elite 800X
on September 30, 2017
Posted by: Michael
from Tumwater, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Turtle Beach makes a decent product, but I really wasn't happy with their 299.99 headset and returned them for the Astro A50.
The A50 to me sound better both in game and in chat. The chat on the Turtle Beaches was a bit weird since the Turtle Beach - Elite 800X doesn't have a boom mic, instead they are built into the ear piece which I thought would be nice till I was in a party chat and things didn't sound very good for my friends.
The Astro A50 build quality seem fine, the headset is really comfortable and everything is tweakable via your PC if the presets and controls on your headset aren't good enough.
One downfall is that if you have both a PS4 and an Xbox One, you'll need the base for each. I haven't figured out a work around for this yet.

Meh! It's ok.
on September 30, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
So I bought this tri-pod to get those ultra low ground shots with my Nikon D7200 DSLR. I use various lenses and even with a lens that isn't long or hefty. I struggle to get the legs all the way out while keeping the camera firmly planted. I eventually get the legs to do what I want, but sometimes the weight of the camera and lens is too much for the legs and they just collapse under the weight. Which surprises me because I've never even used my hefty and long lenses with this trip-pod such as the 70-200mm which I would fully expect the tri-pod to struggle with.
For 50 bucks, I feel the price is a bit high and they advertise this tri-pod for DSLRs. While it will work, just be careful not to mess up your expensive camera or lens.

Really nice Pre/Pro amp for around a grand
on September 30, 2017
Posted by: Michael
from Tumwater, WA
Verified Purchase:Yes
After upgrading to a new LG 4k OLED I had to upgrade the rest of my Home Theater equipment to HDMI 2.0 specs. This was the least expensive Yamaha that I could find which had all the features I needed such as Pre-amp outputs for all speakers as I have Monoblocks powering everything.
I've run various Yamaha receivers for the past 20 years and have always had wonderful luck with them. Yamaha makes a quality product and the YPAO is amazing how it's able to exactly map distance to speakers from the listening point.
The Network apps are nice, but I tend to use the ones already built in to my LG OLED over the ones in the Receiver, but really not much difference between the app versions of the TV vs Receiver. They both work just fine.

Very handy accessory for Xbox Movie Watchers

Verified Purchase:Yes
This remote is nothing super special. Your Xbox controller can do everything this remote does..... But is way less intuitive. For straight up movie watching on your Xbox One this device makes navigating, pausing, playing, and just general use so much easier and more intuitive. Yes I can do all the same things with my Xbox controller, but I have a hard time remembering what all the buttons are mapped to for movie playback. This remote takes out the guess work and in my opinion is well worth the sub 30 dollar price.

This external flash features 3 light distribution patterns for customized use and automatic color filter identification for ensuring photos are clear and detailed.
 

what type of batteries does the flash use?

The SB700 takes (4) AA batteries. Be sure and do yourself a favor and buy a couple packs of rechargeables as the batteries get depleted quickly.
