full rich sound from a small speaker system
on November 19, 2013
Posted by: Camperjoe
from St. Paul, Minnesota
Type of Listener:Avid listener
Most Important to Purchase:Sound quality
How Often Used:Daily
Have had mine for a week now and am not disappointed in its sonic or build quality at all. Has bass just when you think you'll have to trade bass for portability in a small portable bluetooth speaker. Charges to 100% in 3 hours as spec'd and I get a full 9 hours of playing time on a full charge before the red light that indicates 20% or less power remaining appears and begins to blink.
Easy pairing with my LG G2X though I mostly use the 3.5mm connection.
The sound is rich full and at low to moderate volumes full of clean bass. At or near max volume the bass can get a bit muddy depending on source but also note it is only 7" long, weighs 24 ounces and the speakers are what, about 2" in diameter? Don't expect subwoofer enhanced music play back and you will be impressed and definitely not disappointed.
And it is striking to in appearance on or off its charging base

What's great about it: over all sound quality, ease of use, battery life
What's not so great: should have come with a carry pouch
I would recommend this to a friend!

Look at the big picture with this wide-angle lens converter that captures a large angle of view for spacious panoramas.

With provided adapters it'll fit most any camcorder with lens threading and provide a nice wider than normal view for minimal investment.
However, it turns out that image quality degrades quickly from the edges inward as you zoom in leaving you with a sharp center circle and all else has gone soft. A nice effect if thats what you're after.
I returned mine and got the SONY wide angle adapter and though not as wide and you can not use entire zoom range with SONY lens attached the quality is a noticeable improvement over the Sunpak

What's not so great: not sharp corner to corner
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Keep this rechargeable battery on hand to help capture special moments with your camcorder. Long battery life means you spend less time recharging batteries and more time creating special memories.

Going back to the 1980's SONY batteries for their camcorders have always worked well for me and I believe they represent a better value than the house/off brand batteries that may sell for less but don't last as long over the long run
What's great about it: enough stamina to get through most events
What's not so great: 1st time charge is slow
I would recommend this to a friend!

Take your Phantom 1, Phantom 2 or Phantom 3 series device and accessories on the go with this DJI Manfrotto Phantom BC.QT.000002 backpack, which features 6 outside pockets for organized storage. The nylon fabric construction protects stored items.

5 out of 5Great bag!
By 400orbelow
Great quality, holds everything you need, up to 9 batteries. Well engineered, YouTube videos show best how to utilize, but everything has its own spot, except for maybe a water bottle.

nice well thought out pack but ...
March 2, 2016
.. based on the Manfrotto 3N1-35PL the customizing to make it more drone friendly is well thought out. However, the fit for the P3 is very snug and may frustrate some users. And a tool that frustrates is a tool that doesn't get used much. As a backpack it fits well, is well constructed and should last a long time. And the fact it was designed for camera gear gives it a second life.
FYI for the customizing you do pay a premium price compared to the 3N1-35PL.

DJI Phantom camera with a 1-inch 20MP Exmor R CMOS sensor, longer flight time and smarter features.Fly Responsibly:Before takeoff, update all software and firmware, and read the instructions thoroughly.See the FAA website for registration requirements and information about flying a drone safely: https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/. Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about flying your drone: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org.

Beginer and tripod mode are using th obstacle avoidance.
Not happy with that for the price and features listed.
Best Buy was amazing with the delivery and the service.

Check that manual again Johnnyb you are incorrect
February 26, 2017
The side facing infrared sensing system works only in Beginner Mode and Tripod Mode true enough. However, the forward facing and rear facing systems work in P Mode which is the most often and most common way the DJI drones are flown and they are designed to work at speeds up to 30mph when the conditions are favorable.
You cannot fly with abandon in any direction you choose as the system cannot detect small objects such a bare tree branch or telephone lines. So you still need to perform your due diligence and scout out your shooting location.
Its in the manual.

can you play regular dvd's on a blue ray player
which blueray player connects to coax cables?
None that I am aware of use a coax connection. As a pipeline for data coax can not handle a hi-def signal. may as well keep using a VCR.

Do Blu-ray players play cd's?
Yes, We have Insignia and Samsung Blu-ray players and both will play prerecorded music and movies.
Can't speak for CDs burned at home although products will often promote compatibility over a variery of mediums your mileage may vary .

Can you connect i-pod/i-phone and a 2.1 CH speaker system to the Samsung p1600
It does have analog, fiber optic and digital audio outputs

7.1 Capable
which blu ray players are 7.1 and does an HDMI cable take care of video and audio so that i'll only need one cable from reciever to player
7.1 refers to a soundtrack option on the disc. Any player will merely send out what ever soundtrack info is on the disc but...
You knew there would have to be a but...some players will decode the audio info before sending it out and others will merely send out the data 'as is' so to speak to some other device for decoding.
Take a look at the back of the player and see if there is a set of 5.1 or 6.1 or 7.1 outputs in addition to any HDMI, fiber optic, coaxial digital and stereo outputs. If there are that typically means that the player decodes the audio and gives you options on how to get the sound to your AVR. If these 5.1/6.1/7.1 connects are missing then the player 'might' be decoding or maybe not.
There are a lot of players out there so I suggest you focus on a few and do some more research before buying.
The reason we purchased a Samsung 2550 was to get the max options for audio and video signal transmission, HDMI or analog outputs. When we update our AVR we will be able to use one HDMI cable for video and audio but until then...

blue-ray player that connects directly to cable/direct tv instead of to the tv set??
Not sure why you'd even want to do this bit of daisy chaining if it is even possible with your cable/direct tv box. If you want to see the HD picture a Blue-Ray player is capable of it needs to be connected to an HD TV, either directly or via an AVR with HDMI inputs and output to the HD TV.
I looked at the back of our cable box and there are no HDMI inputs though your situation might vary.

If I get a player that decodes HD audio tracks how do I connect in order to play them back?
It will depend on the AVR you're going to connect your player to as there are several options availble.
We have an older AVR that does not have HDMI inputs, it does however have analog 5.1 inputs and that is why we chose a player with analog outputs.
Newer AVRs can have HDMI connections which will simplify the connection and eliminate a number of cables in the process. But be aware that not all AVRs with HDMI can accept video and audio via the HDMI.
Above all before you spend your money and lug big boxes home do the research, it'll pay off.
