easy to use

This tripod was pretty good, light weight, easy to set up and manuever. My issue was with the stability of the legs with the telephoto lens. Not stable in wind. There is a hook to hang wt., but I think I'll wait and spend a bit more $ for a higher wt load. This would be great for hiking with a point and shoot. or 50 mm lens. If the legs were a bit more formidable I would have kept it, I may go the next one up, or 2 steps up for wt limits.

first time I used this to blow off my keyboard water came out of it al over the keyboard. If they recommend to sparay so many inches away they should say so on the can before you ruin your expensive electronics. Other than that it's fine Jusst be careful the first time you use it or if it's been sitting for a while.

great bag

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this for our trip this fall to Seattle, a waterproof bag sounded safe as much as it rains there. I've aquired 3 lenses and many many different filters to lug along. Using the bag that came w/ the camera, always had to decide which ones to take. Now I can take it all, including cleaning stuff just in case. Extra clips ect...Theres a ton of straps, some of which I removed. Can tie a tripod to the bottom, and compartment for water bottle and a jacket. Has built in pockets for extra sd cards, and 3 layers of compartments for organization. I wont need the storage bags I got for the individual lenses in this bag, they stay snug and easy to get to in the adjustable compartments. This was one of the better camera accessories I've purchased. This bag is very versatile for travel to hiking around, or just grabbing your bag on the go.

The Arlo camera is a 100 Percent Wire-Free, completely wireless, HD smart home security camera - so you can get exactly the shot you need - inside or out. The Arlo camera is weatherproof and includes motion detection, night vision, and apps. It can capture clips and send you alerts whether you're at home or away for round-the-clock peace of mind.
 

Will this camera work with the xfinity home system

I don't think so, do you think your cameras would work on the wifi that comes with this system? the way I understand it is that you have to have the base unit for the cameras that are compatible with that system.

can i connect with another wireless hub not net gear?

i have a alarm system (iris system) and its a hub and can connect with anything wireless connection. would it connect with the hub i have now or do i have to buy the net gear hub that comes with the cameras?
you have to have the whole system. Might want to check if your current system has add-on's, or just get it and use it so you can see whats going on while you're away
