Like a kid at Christmas!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this so I could dust off my coding skills, as well as learn how a computer actually works. Opening this up, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. Knowing what this little beast is capable of - I would LOVE to build the OctoPi! - and getting to assemble it all into a sleek, compact package? I couldn't be happier. An excellent value for the price; I only wish these were around when I was of high school age. Highly recommend.

I liked the 2nd gen WAY better...
on June 7, 2021
Posted by: Cicatrix
Verified Purchase:Yes
Was a big BIG fan of the Osmo Mobile 2; a year and a half after purchasing, the gimbal rotor began malfunctioning, so I returned it to my Best Buy in order to receive the Osmo Mobile 3 as the replacement (w/Geek Squad warranty which I purchased.) That process was seamless.
There is a bit of a learning curve with the OM3, if you're coming from the 2nd gen. The tripod being included in the kit is a nice change, as is the soft shell carry-case. (The OM2 did not include one.) The biggest innovation/change from the OM2 to the OM3 however, is the collapse feature, which, frankly, I'm not sure I'm that big a fan of.
When folding the arm towards the handle for stowing, you really do feel as if you're going to break your new toy. The secure tension grip is updated as well, but this too is not so much an "update" in my opinion, as it is a change. I found the OM2's tension grip to be much more accommodating than the OM3's. And of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that there is NEW companion software, which feels less intuitive than what I was used to.
In short, yes, it's a good replacement (as fulfillment for a defective item) BUT, if you have an OM2 that still works, I wouldn't rush to replace it. I'd trade the OM3 for the OM2 in a heartbeat!

This 6.6' (2M) charge cable - with USB-C connectors on both ends - is ideal for charging USB-C devices, and also supports USB 2 for syncing and data transfer between USB-C devices. To conveniently charge your MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro from a wall outlet, pair the USB-C Charge Cable with a compatible USB-C power adapter, sold separately.

This longer cable should be included with iPad Pro
on June 7, 2021
Posted by: Cicatrix
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this because the cable that comes with the iPad Pro is simply not long enough for usage whilst charging. There are certain things I won't risk buying on Amazon for the cheaper price (though that's almost a moot point anyway because of Best Buy's Price Match) and Apple products are one of them. You know you will NOT be getting a cheap knock-off.
In short, highly recommend for anyone who wants to use their iPad Pro on AC power, to save your battery a few cycles.

Must have tool for the serious artist and designer
on December 30, 2020
Posted by: Cicatrix
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this as a Mother's Day gift for mom, who is a digital designer and illustrator. She uses a MacBook Pro and Wacom Cintiq extensively, so this was the next logical step. Paired with the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil, this iPad (her first) has become an indispensable and irreplaceable tool in her artist's toolbox. Procreate is her favorite app, though to be honest, anything you wish to do with the iPad, you can do it well, even if it's just checking emails or social media. As I commented in my Apple Pencil review, I firmly believe that the Pencil should be included in the purchase (even if it means driving the price up further) simply because it is a MUST HAVE accessory to this incredible machine. If I could afford a second one, I'd buy one for myself.

Extensive options, blazing fast.

So far so good. Purchased both the Amazon Fire Stick and this after cutting the cable cord. Like the Fire Stick, it too boasts voice controls, and even includes quick buttons for Netflix, Disney+, Hulu and Sling, to make accessing your paid subscriptions that much quicker. If you're used to the Amazon Prime Video UI, however, or if you still have cable and are used to its interface, there is a tiny bit of a learning curve to using Roku. Adding apps and channels to your Home screen is simple, for the most part, except when you have to activate a code ("Select your provider") for PBS or other such channels, or create separate accounts (like Haystack) in order to get local news channels. I have enough accounts and passwords to remember, thank you. That said, everything is here, but as with most everything these days, not everything is free. Roku is like a vending machine - and for that matter, the Amazon Fire Stick is too - you can browse, but ultimately, you'll have to buy or be subscribed to get the most out of it.

The new Apple Pencil makes note-taking, writing, and drawing better than ever. It magnetically attaches to iPad Pro, charges wirelessly, and lets you change tools with a simple double tap. Apple Pencil (2nd generation) works with iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th generation); iPad Pro 11-inch (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation); iPad Air (4th and 5th generation); and iPad mini (6th generation).

Absolutely ESSENTIAL.

Bought this along with the 12.9" iPad Pro as a gift for Mother's Day. My mom is a digital illustrator and designer, and vacillates between paper sketches and working on her Wacom Cintiq. The iPad Pro seemed like the next logical step, and the Apple Pencil really should come *with* the iPad, as the experience simply isn't the same without it. It is an absolute must for the serious designer looking to get the most out of their investment. I haven't used it as extensively as my mom has (after all, it's her) but I can say that the Pencil is weighty, and feels more natural in the hand than any other writing utensil I've held. Charging is easy, it is incredibly responsive to the slightest tap/pressure or the angle with which it's held (important in regards to brush strokes!) and feels very sturdy. Again, even if it added to the iPad's price tag, the Pencil should come WITH it, as it really completes the iPad experience.

So far so good. Cut the cord on cable and now stream everything. What I especially like is the Fire Stick remote doubles as a universal remote, in that once you've set it up, you can use it to turn on your TV, the Fire Stick player, and a peripheral (like a sound bar and woofer) all with just one power button. Plus, voice controls make typing in a search bar obsolete. All apps are blazing fast, no buffering or freezing. Definitely worth the price (especially since it was a Black Friday sale item!)

BETTER than Zagg Shield + Luxe Screen Protector!
on October 28, 2019
Posted by: Cicatrix
Verified Purchase:Yes
When I first got my iPhone 7+, I ordered the ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass + Luxe Screen Protector, which has a matte finish on the portions above the screen and below, around the button, to match your iPhone color. That particular item was NOT case friendly; the edges popped up and ultimately weakened the glass and caused to break when I took my Otterbox case on and off (for use of the iPhone with a DJI gimbal). Once it broke, I looked for a different glass without the "Luxe Screen Protector", and found this basic crystal clear version. Easily applied, smooth as butter, high sensitivity, and I have absolutely NO PROBLEM popping either of my cases (Otterbox and Spigen) on and off when necessary. Highly recommend, your screen is too valuable NOT to protect it.

Purchased this card to supplement the internal storage for my DJI Mavic Air. Took a trip to Norway with three of these cards to make sure I had plenty of storage for both the drone and my GoPro - no issues, and transferring files is a breeze. Love SanDisk.

LOVE that this comes with an extra battery.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this initially with my GoPro Hero5 Black over a year ago; the charger was recently damaged by saltwater corrosion, and the indicator lights didn't always work afterwards. So I purchased another as a replacement. Compact, does what it says, and you get another battery. Considering the GoPro remote is $80, and this $50, I'd say this is at a more reasonable price point, (though I understand some would say that's comparing apples to oranges.) Like I say in my review for the GoPro remote, this is something you should buy with the GoPro right away.

Get moving with Commuter Series for the Apple iPhone 14 and Apple iPhone 13, the thin phone case that keeps your phone safe from drops and bumps. A silver-based antimicrobial additive is integrated into the case that helps inhibit microbial growth and defends the case exterior against many common bacteria.* Wireless ready, it works with both Qi charging and MagSafe (no magnets in case). Built to beat the daily grind, Commuter Series combines a pocket-friendly profile with robust defense and added grip to ensure you keep going mile after mile. Model 77-89646.
Is this two pieces?
Yes it is two pieces. The flexible rubber goes on first, followed by the hard shell. I just posted a review about this, and specifically cite how I'd prefer the flexible portion to fit much more snugly than it does. The material feels cheaper than Otterbox used to use, and it's noticeable.

I need a replacement for the zagg I bought a short while ago. It cracked at bottom. I need a replacement. Please let me know when this can be settled.
If you have your receipt, go to Zagg.com, create a profile, and register the screen. Then make a claim to have it replaced through their lifetime warranty. All you should have to pay for is the shipping (around $6 I think?) I haven't had to use this yet, but I began filing a claim just to test it, and it appears to be relatively simple and painless.
Hope this helps.
