The GoPro - Smart Remote - works great. I was disappointed my original GoPro Remote did not work with my Hero 5. So, had to buy the new Smart Remote.

The all-new Echo Show features a new look, a vibrant 10" HD screen, built-in smart home hub, and improved speakers. Just ask Alexa to show you a recipe, watch live TV and sports with Hulu, make video calls, or see who's at the front door.

The Amazon - Echo Show (2nd Gen) - is bigger and better than before. All the same features as 1st gen show...but the 10.1" screen is very nice...and the volume is louder and more bass.

Add a little extra oomph to your television's sound with this Samsung sound bar. The basic setup features a 2.1 channel speaker system with left and right speakers to balance the experience. A wireless subwoofer delivers true bass, and this Samsung sound bar offers surround sound expansion for virtual surround setups.

Samsung - 2.1-Channel Soundbar System with 7" Wireless Subwoofer is great. Very easy to setup. Very nice sound. Subwoofer is very noticeable with the music on the tv shows. Voices are so much better than the just the tv speakers.

My HoMedics - Percussion Action Handheld Massager is awesome. I have several pieces of massage equipment. This is a gem. The percussion (tapping) action hits the spot. It has a couple speed/intensity levels. It's relatively lightweight - easy to hold hand maneuver.

Pretty cool - overpriced?

I purchased the Lenovo - Mirage Solo with Daydream Virtual Reality Headset along with the Lenovo Mirage 3d/180 video camera. I read quite a few reviews on VR headsets - but do not have much experience with them. My purpose for 3d/180 video was for view sports events which I record. This combination of Mirage camera and headset does not work for this purpose. Watching the video is okay...but the 3d feeling is not quite there when objects are 25' away or more. Also, the 180 degree viewing does not do much for you.
However, the ease of use of the headset was nice. It is comfortable. It stays steady. I wore it for 30+ minutes with no problem - however, I was not jumping and moving.
Visually - you can see the pixels but it is not too bad. The visual quality is WAY better than using a cell phone as the screen.
Controls - the controller is nice. You can use your thumb to scroll/pan right/left/up/down.
User Visual interface - is fine (I don't have anything to compare it to) - using the on screen menus and the controller (pointer) worked fine. Occasionally, I navigate incorrectly because I pressed the wrong thumb button on the controller.
The headset supports 6 degrees of freedom. Nice.
This headset provides some new features not readily available on earlier non-tethered VR headsets. We'll likely see new, cool features coming soon. Unfortunately, it is a bit pricey right now.

Very interesting - mixed results

I purchased the Lenovo - VR-Ready Photo and Video Camera and was quite lucky to get an early delivery. Bottom-line: Pretty nice...but not great.
First - It is super easy to get started. There is a little setup - connect to Lenovo cell phone app, connect to wi-fi. All pretty standard and easy.
Second - The camera automatically downloaded an update. No problems with that.
Operating the camera is quite easy via the app. I starting taking video immediately. Video can be stored to the internal memory or to a microsd card.
Note that watching the video on your cell phone is fine - but it looks just like regular video (2d and medium field of view). But you can manually pan right/left/up/down to see the extend of the 180 degree recorded scenes.
Image quality is nice. The camera should be held quite still. The subjects you are video taping can be moving. But video of fast sports events may be too much for this camera. The quality of the lenses are fine...but not much better than a cell phone. These lenses are no where near the quality of GoPro.
I also purchased Lenovo - Mirage Solo with Daydream Virtual Reality Headset. This vr headset or another HIGH QUALITY headset is necessary to take advantage of the 3d and 180 video this camera can shoot.
The price is great and there is not another 3d/180 video camera at this price point.

Sunpak - PlatinumPlus Ultra 7000 2-in-1 70" Tripod and Monopod - is nice and tall. The legs are sturdy even at the 70" height. It is a little pricey. I have not used the monopod option.
