WOW Lenspen for the win
on September 9, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
After trying a different lens cleaning option and finding it to fail hard I started researching the Lenspen. As someone who has never used it, I really was worried about how it would work with my Camera gear. I am super picky with my camera and lenses so I wanted to make sure it would not damaging anything and that for the price it would do what it says. Wow was I surprised when I saw how well it worked. It removed grease smudges a whatever gunk that was on my lenses and screen. I was very impressed with the lenspen and how compact it is. I now carry it with me in my camera bag so I have it ready to go at all times.

Bower has failed me
on September 9, 2018
Posted by: nickcal

Verified Purchase:Yes
I used to like Bower but after the last two items I have owned from them I would not trust anything else from them. I did, however, get a lens pen and it works beautifully. As for as this Bower kit it's a disappointment. The paper left steeks and the cloth was super small the air puffer was totally bad. I can't say anything good about this kit. I hope BestBuy starts to carry more camera gear options. I would have to say if you are looking for a leaning option go with the LensPen it works better.

It~s versatile: wear Slide as a sling, neck, or shoulder strap. It~s comfy, yet low-profile, thanks to internally-padded nylon webbing. On one side, the webbing is smooth and glides over clothing. Flip it over, and a silicone grip prevents slippage off your shoulder. Dual quick-adjusters make Slide configurable to any activity. When not shooting, cinch your camera tight to your body to keep it secure while moving about. The crux of it all? Our unique Anchor Link system. Anchors provide instant ultra-strong connection to your camera. Instantly swap Slide between camera bodies, or switch to a different Peak Design strap. Multiple attachment points enable carrying your camera with your lens facing forward or down, making Slide ideal for a huge range of camera/lens setups. Plus, Anchors work with Peak Design tripod plates and many 3rd party plates and L-brackets.

Best camera strap I have ever used
on August 24, 2018
Posted by: nickcal
from Evansville, IN
Verified Purchase:Yes
Peak design makes some cool tools for photogrphers but the strap has to be my favorite. When I use my camera at my home studio taking photos of products I want to quickly remove my strap. I don't need it swinging away. It might get caught on something and pull my camera and tripod over. So using a standard strap I could remove as well but it takes so long to put one on and off the Peak Design strap is made so well and it's so easy to take on and off. I really love how easy the strap is so easy to use and versatile. I can recommend it for any DSLR user.

Provides a secure place for my memory cards
on August 24, 2018
Posted by: nickcal
from Evansville, IN
Verified Purchase:Yes
For many years I have carried my memory cards in my pockets. I know this is not the way to store them, but it’s usually what is most convenient and I’ve never found a suitable carrying case. The problem with just slipping memory cards in your pocket — aside from them getting disorganized — is that dirt, moisture and other factors could damage them. So, I’ve been searching for a carrying case that would not only protect the cards, but also be stylish and easy to slip into my camera bag or pocket. So, I turned to Pelican for my memory card storage needs. Fortunately, they have an amazing case called the Protector Memory Card Case.
The Protector case is a classic Pelican case. It’s water resistant (IPx4). The body is made out of a tough Polycarbonate resin and is a hard shell. The latch is made with a hard ABS plastic and creates a very tight seal for the inside of the case. The interior liner is made out of Elastomer foam and it absorbs shock as well as keeps the memory cards locked safely in place and organized. The Protector case can hold up to 12 SD cards, 6 Mini SD cards, and 6 Micro SD cards. The foam is actually set in a way that the Micro and Mini SD cards lay beneath the full size SD cards. Two additional features of the case include a silicon rubber O-Ring and nickel-plated brass pins that hold the hinge together.
The first thing to do with this case is to actually get it out of its packaging. It ships in plastic thermoformed packaging so you have to cut through it, which is a job on its own. The packaging was actually the only thing I didn’t like about the Protector case. Once you get through the packaging, the case opens at the latch, which is a very tight fit. The case opens and lays flat on a table so that you can view all the contents easily. Since the case comes preassembled and there isn’t any additional set-up aside from place the cards into their designated spots inside the foam, there aren’t any complicated instructions that accompany the case.
The Protector Memory Card Case is really ideal for me. It keeps the cards safe and secure and they are easy to access inside this case. I also really love that the Protector is only the size of a smartphone. When I hold it up to an iPhone X, it’s just slightly smaller, but it’s about 2.5 times as thick. At this size, the case can easily slip into a pocket and still keep the cards dry and free from extraneous dirt. Another thing I really like about this case is that since the cards fit into the case tightly in place so that when you open the case, you don’t have to worry about them just falling out. The Protector case is a really nice product and something I feel that any photographer should have to keep their cards safe. With a company like Pelican you can rest easy knowing your gear will always be safe.

Perfect for printing mobile photos

Verified Purchase:Yes
We bought my daughter a Canon mobile photo printer for her birthday so that she had the option of printing out photos whenever she wanted. The printer came with an initial package of photo paper that she ran through really quickly. So, we bought this replacement package so she could keep printing. It works great. It's easy to load into the printer and the quality of the pictures is above average. I can recommend this to others who have the same mobile printer.

Meant for a fun ride just about anywhere
on August 21, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
I’ve always liked to be on the move. I love taking walks around our neighborhood, riding my bike to a local park, and I’ve even done my fair share of skateboarding. With that in mind, I think it’s only natural that I felt drawn to the hoverboard craze that blew up a few years ago (no pun intended). When I first saw people riding them on TV I thought, “I could do that.” It was only recently that I got to try out that theory when visiting some friends on a family vacation. My friend Ava had a hoverboard and she was nice enough to let me try it. It was a blast and I decided to find my own. After some research, I decided on the Horizon App-enabled Bluetooth Hoverboard by Hover-1.
The Hover Board is an amazing product. It is meant for fun almost anywhere. I’ve personally ridden mine inside our house, outside in Florida, on tile, and on regular old concrete. I think the 8” wheels really make a big difference when it comes to how smooth of a ride you get with the hoverboard. I’ve not had any issues with the wheels getting stuck somewhere or caught up on a foreign object. That said, you should always be aware of your surroundings.
One of the biggest things I’ve learned since I’ve had the hoverboard is patience. For example, it takes time and effort to balance and learn how to move properly to get the most of out of your hoverboard experience. That takes patience.
The hoverboard is heavy to pick up and move from place to place. It weighs 24.5 pounds. The packaging for it was great. It was completely stable so that nothing was broken inside. I even transported it on a 900-mile road trip inside its original box. When you take the hoverboard out of its box, it literally shines. My first experience with the Horizon hoverboard was tricky but I soon got a hold of it. The first time I got onto the hoverboard I drove right into something. Even though I had a small set back, I got right back on it and tried again.
My favorite thing about the hoverboard is the getting on part. It takes absolute skill to balance and shift your weight to stay on top. The app is a nice addition to the hoverboard. It’s available for download for free and it allows you to customize your experience with the Horizon by letting you do things like changing the color of light on the back of the hoverboard. You can also monitor your speed and change modes between Beginner, Intermediate, or Expert. You even have the option to change your vehicle’s name.
The Horizon hoverboard drives smoothly and looks great. It’s moderately priced in comparison with other hoverboards, but I think it makes sense to spend a little more and get a good, quality product this hoverboard. I can recommend this for any level of users. Beginners will be able to learn easily with it and more advanced riders can start strong and do tricks with it right out of the box. I’m very happy with my Horizon hoverboard and if I had the choice, I would get it all over again.

All day coffee drinkers rejoice
on August 21, 2018

from Evansville, IN
Verified Purchase:Yes
I like hot drinks like coffee and tea. I find myself wasting my caffeine enriched liquid because I get lost in my computer screen and then the drink is ruined. I have recently seen more studies discussing how coffee is good for you but for me, it can’t get cold. I am just not a fan of iced coffee or room temperature coffee. I recently got my hands on the Ember Coffee Mug, a temperature controlled mug and my hope with it is that I can enjoy hot drinks longer at a temperature I set. So does Ember hold true to its claims? First, let me discuss what Ember is and how it works.
The Ember Ceramic Mug is packaged inside a box that is very similar to what Apple uses for its products. There are a few graphics on it along with some text. When opening it up, you will find a few paper information cards, the mug. It’s charging plate. and charging power cable.
My first experience was not so hot no pun intended. I pulled it out and started the charging process I set up my account with Ember and noticed a firmware update was available. I wasn’t able to update the firmware because my Ember Mug kept disconnecting. I thought I had a defective mug but after I powered it off and back on a few times I was able to get the firmware to update.
After that point, the Ember mug has been a joy to use. I do still, however, have random disconnects so that is something to note. I’ve used it with my evening cup of coffee or tea and my drink has held its temperature. I tested this out with the use of an infrared thermometer. The first drink I had was coffee. It was 130º when I started drinking it and when I was about 3/4 of the way done, the coffee was still registering 121º. The hot tea was a different story. It started out at 155º and ended up at 134º after about 45 minutes. It makes me wonder how correct the Ember is at showing the temp.
Even with my issues getting the firmware to update I had pretty good luck with the mug once that finally installed. I did still have a few instances of the Bluetooth connection getting interrupted, but that didn’t seem to affect the beverage’s temperature. I honestly don’t know what I’ve done without the Ember Ceramic Mug until now. With the Ember I can now take my time sipping my drink and am not limited to how fast my mug cools off. It’s made hot beverages enjoyable again for me and I’m looking forward to trying more of Ember’s products and might even get a second Ceramic Mug.
