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

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

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!

Completely customize your Wi-Fi Smart Color Thermostat to match your lifestyle and decor. The ENERGY STAR~ certified smart thermostat lets you choose the temperature, schedule, display color and the devices you use to control it all.
 

Does this require C Wire

This does require a "C" wire to operate. The "C" brings power to the place the thermostat is mounted to the wall and this does need that power. If there isn't one on your current thermostat it isn't hard to get one there usually. There are usually 1 to 2 extra wires on the bundle behind your current thermostat. One of those can be hooked up on the control board "C" terminal and now you have a "C" wire at the wall mount location. As long as your system is a usual 24V system. If you're not sure then you should have your HVAC company look at it and let you know. If you're installing wires yourself heed the warning to turn off the breaker at the main panel while working. There is usually not enough power to electrocute you but you can easily short out the main circuit board on your system. Even with all the precautions check your wires. I didn't see it and the insulation was split on one wire at the thermostat and blew a fuse when I turned the power back on. Luckily that was an easy fix but it could run into a couple of hundred dollars if you fry the board! Good Luck!

i have the 9585 WF. I set it up with the 5 wires and set up according to the codes colors. When i turn on the ac i get heat, not hot air but warmer then ac air. When I turn it to heat i get cool air. Does anyone know of a correct wire connection for this

You can't always go by the color codes of the wire. You needed to see where the wires themselves were hooked up on your old thermostat. As that is not an option any longer you will now need to go to the control board at the unit to see which wire is on which terminal and attach them to the thermostat the same way. When the contractor originally built my house the upstairs and downstairs thermostats were wired differently. On one my blue wire was in the green position and the other one the blue wire was my spare for the "C" wire. It doesn't matter what their color is as long as they all are hooked up correctly at both places (thermostat and control board). Hope that helps! Good luck!

Will this T-stat do auto change over with gas heat?

I don't believe so, I've read the manual and I don't see anything in there yet that says it will auto select the mode. It appears you have to go to the mode and switch it with the push of a button, either in the app or on the thermostat (or Alexa if you're connected). Good luck!

Refill the color cartridges in your PIXMA PRO-100 printer with these Canon ink cartridges. Each package includes eight ink tanks that deliver exceptional color quality, and they provide colorful, lasting results for your photos. These Canon ink cartridges let you replace individual colors as they run out for maximum efficiency.
 

how does the amount of ink in each included cartridge compare with the cartridges bought individually?

The amount of ink in these tanks is the same as the individually packaged colors. You save a little by purchasing the complete set about $10 depending on where you get them.

Browse the web with this 8-inch Samsung Galaxy tablet. Its 5MP front camera and 8MP rear camera let you take selfies and family photos in low light, and the 1.4GHz quad-core processor ensures lag-free performance. Watch movies all day with the 14-hour video playback time of this versatile Samsung Galaxy tablet.
 

Does this have a usb port , so I can link it to my phone. Not the small charging side , the bigger output side, I want to download my phone video and photos to my new tablet.

This tablet only has the micro USB port on the bottom for charging and data transfer. The newest version of the tablet uses a USB-C connector. You can possibly get an adapter to connect your phone that would accommodate the way you want to use it. I have a dual USB drive that I use for that purpose or I connect to the main computer on my desk. Hope this helps, enjoy!

is this tablet cellular?

This tablet does not support a SIM card so that would be no. Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connections only.

So I could use my sim card and use it as a tablet and a phone

That's not really a question but I'm thinking you want to know if you can use your SIM card. The answer to that would be no, there is no SIM card slot.

How many USB ports

Just one micro USB on the bottom which is used for charging or data transfer. The other connections would be Wi-Fi or Bluetooth wirelessly!

Is this tablet under lock, so I can use my dater plan

The question doesn't seem worded correctly but I am thinking you want to use it with your mobile company such as AT&T or Verizon and you want to know if it's an unlocked device. If that is the question then it would be a no answer to that since there is no means to put a SIM card in the device. If you have a phone and you can use that as a mobile hotspot you can connect through your phone using Wi-Fi thus using your Data Plan to connect to the internet. You can also use it at any Wi-Fi spot such as Starbuck's or McDonald's, etc. Most places have Wi-Fi these days(some better than others) that you can connect to for free. Hope this helps, enjoy!

Will Samsung Galaxy tab a 8.0 work fine for flying my DJI Pro 3?

I haven't tried using this to fly my drone but I would think the software works. I have used a Samsung galaxy 5 phone and a Motorola Moto 5G S and they worked fine. You could check with DJI but their software has gotten better over the years and there isn't many things it will not run on. Hope this helps, enjoy!
