The Quick-Release Battery Pack allows you to have backup power for select battery powered Ring Doorbells and Cameras. To charge your battery pack, simply connect it to a micro-USB cord and plug it into a power outlet. If the battery pack in compatible Ring Video Doorbell or Securtiy Cam runs out of power, you can remove your batteries by pressing the quick-release tab on the battery pack. Then, simply slide your second battery pack into your device, and you~re good to go.

Great to have a spare battery for the devices. The charge time is around 6-10 hours and if you don't have another battery your device is down for that long. When the battery that is in the device gets low I can just swap it out with the spare and it's running again for six months. Charge the other one and it's ready to go when needed.

Just mediocre

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this drone to replace an older model Yuneec Q500 but this was nothing like the previous one and had awful video compared tot he Q500. The camera is not gimbal mounted and most video taken tilts in the direction you're flying the aircraft before leveling out. It has electronic stabilization which doesn't keep up with the maneuverability of the aircraft. I ended up returning the drone after a few day and was happy to pay the restock fee just to be rid of it! For just a little bit more I was able to get one from another company that had full gimbal control of the camera and it was excellent. The Mantis Q may be good for someone just fooling around but if you want to take serious video this isn't the drone for you.

Good system, small and easy to use

Verified Purchase:Yes
I received a Ring doorbell and needed a way to mount something in the house that was stand alone and didn't need wiring. This plugs into a wall outlet anywhere within range of your wireless network in your house and fit what was needed. It does however occasionally drop off the network for no reason that I can figure out. The wireless router is only about 20 feet away from the device and the Ring doorbell is 20 feet past that. The doorbell stays connected well and is further than the chime. I'm not even sure if it actually does disconnect, the phone app reports it as disconnected all the time and I haven't been able to test it when it says it's disconnected. Other than that little glitch it seems to work very well and can be moved wherever it's needed if you want to do that.

It's a replacement for the one I had

This trackball replaced my old MS Optimouse that they no longer make. I have always liked a trackball better than a mouse just for the fact that in a small space I don't have to move it all over the mouse pad to make it work. It is stationary and just my thumb has to be lifted to get the pointer repositioned anywhere on the screen. It is very convenient when you have limited space on your desk.

On my desk I don't have much room and it is so convenient to be able to move the keyboard around at will. It seems to be holding up just as well as any other and I have had no issues with connectivity. The battery life with a couple of AAA batteries is very good. I've used it for quite some time on the set of batteries that came installed int he device. The mouse I did not use due to personal preference because I wanted a trackball device. The mouse however did go to my job and the two of the staff that use it have had no issues with that as well.

I've gotten many of these coupons from Best Buy over the years and when I can use them they're great. I was using Shutterfly long before receiving the coupons and it is a good company to make photo trip books or special photo albums. Wish that I could keep the coupon until I needed it but alas it expires, or does it. This last one doesn't have an expiration date so policy might have changed. The product is great we'll see if I can use the coupon sometime in the future.

Good quality

Verified Purchase:Yes
These batteries seem to be very good so far. they seem more intelligent than the previous aircraft's batteries and thus they may last longer. I have heard that these don't do past 6-8 months before getting bulgy and bad. Only time will tell but the two I have seem fine at this time. They also seem to last the specified time in the aircraft which is great. With the two I have I can get almost an hour of flight time which is usually sufficient to get some great footage from a spectacular viewpoint!

This is much better than my previous one. The technology has gotten so much better than a few years ago. The Mavic is easy to fly and has great capture of video and still images. The only thing this doesn't have is a dedicated controller that has a monitor built in. That was always convenient when using the previous one I had. I kind of over came that issue by using a capable older phone I had laying around. It stays with the aircraft and the remote in a neat little case and is always ready to go when needed.

With more power and a combination of more channels it takes the load off some of my devices and makes them run faster overall since each devise is competing against each other. Good Upgrade!

Simplify your drive with Garmin Drive 53, the 5~ GPS navigator that helps you reach your destination. It features a bright 5~ high-resolution glass touchscreen display and modern, beautiful design. With driver alerts, gain more situational awareness for sharp curves, speed changes, school crossings and more. Garmin Drive 53 shows food, fuel and rest stops along your active route. Make the most of road trips by checking the included Tripadvisor traveler ratings for top-rated restaurants, hotels and attractions. Use the U.S. national parks directory to find visitor centers and notable landmarks within the parks. The Garmin Drive 53 navigator also includes detailed map updates of North America. Not compatible with truck routes.
 

Does this GPS come with the charger?

It doesn't come with a charger it does come with a wire that plugs into your 12V socket in the car. If you want to charge it at home you can your any power adapter you have and the appropriate cord for the unit and it will charge. I find it's best to just use the power cable int he car and if I do need to take it with me for hiking or such It will be ready to go. To use internal power while mounted int he car isn't the best thing to do in my opinion. Hope that helps.

I have a watch band from my Galaxy 3, that I love. Will it fit the Galaxy 5?

I believe this is a 20mm wide band so if your Galaxy 3 has a 20mm band then it should fit this watch. From what I saw on Amazon some of the Galaxy 3 watches had 22mm wide bands so just be sure of the width of yours.

What is the square foot coverage of this router? Good for 2200 sq ft ranch home?

I have about 2000sqft with an open loft to the ground floor and it seems to connect well to everything except my thermostat and that is only 35-40 feet away in an area open between the router and thermostat. Not sure what that is about yet. Everything else works well. The more centrally located in the house the better it will be. I have a Echo dot in the garage and I get usable signal in the backyard if that helps.

Which wi-fi router or routers are compatible with the Motorola MB8600 32x8 DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem 1GB Ethernet?

Probably any WiFi 6 router will work with that modem or any modem. you'll have one ethernet cable coming from the modem going to the router WAN port and then you connect all your devices either wired or wireless to the router.

How many devices can be connected to this router at 1 time via Wifi?

Theoretically you can have 255 devices connected to any given router. I keep mine set for 140 just to have some spare room in case of new devices. If you have more devices that takes bandwidth and that is your enemy. Most places have high speed internet but there are also many places that don't offer that option. If you only have 10Mbps to share then you are limited more by that than by the router. There are also many other variables for speed and connectivity. The router will always be limited to 255 IP address.

Stock up on flexible storage with this five-pack of PNY Attach~ drives. Each unit holds 16GB of music, photographs or documents, with simple, fast transfers through a USB 3.0 port. These PNY Attach~ drives have collar caps that slide open to protect data while staying attached.
 

Are these bootable??? I'm trying to install Windows 10 from a bootable/transferable device onto a new pc

If you have data that is bootable the drive should be fine. It's not the drive booting it is the computer. As long as you have your BIOS or UEFI set to boot from a USB then if the software is found there it will boot.

Can I transfer a CD to a thumb drive

I use these for my music to play on my car stereo but you would have to change your CD's to MP3 or WMA files using a conversion software. If you are talking about DATA CD's then yes you can just copy the data to the drive as long as it doesn't go over the maximum capacity of 16GB in this case.

Is the 16nGB drive formatted to FAT 32?

The default formatting is FAT 32. Since I use them in my car stereo I usually don't format for anything else with these drives but the choices are there to format in NTFS and exFAT so I think you could probably use them if needed!

I use USB Flash Drives for my machine embroider designs. Is there danger of losing content due to failure? Do you recommend backing these up on a CD?

They work fine with my wife's Brother machine when she does embroidery and haven't had an issue where we lose data. With that being said I have lost data on all kinds of devices over the years and it is always prudent to back up your data in at least three places in my opinion (depending on the data of course).
