If you~re filming or taking photos, there is nothing worse than a full memory card in the middle of a shoot. Transfer and back up files with the Platinum PT-AFACS USB-C to SD and microSD Card Reader. With a USB-C and USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface, simply connect it to your computer or device and quickly transfer data with 5 Gbps. It~s compatible with iMac, iPad, Windows and USB-C devices to help keep your creativity flowing without having to pause and delete unwanted files. A blue LED blinks to let you know when the UHS-II SD memory card is in and that files are being read. A compact design and included braided 100 mm cable mean you can take it wherever you go without adding weight or clutter. Follow your creativity and never let a full memory card stop you again.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Just bought a new computer, and the show selling it showed a SD slot on it, but when I got it, no SD slot. Doing some photography I needed that SD slot, as cameras use them.
Well, my computer does have USB C, which this SD card reader uses. And talk about fast. My new computer is very fast, and I expected this reader to be a bit slower, but no, you drag and drop and pow, done.
I was transferring 18 GB of files, was going to plug the computer in so the power wouldn't be interrupted. By the time I was done it was too. With an SD card! If you have USB C but no SD reader this is the reader you need.

Your first friendly neighborhood Spiderman

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was shopping for discs at BB, saw this one and grabbed it. Last one.
I had completely forgotten this franchise that became a trilogy. And I had forgotten how good it was. The 4k transfers are really great, as is the Atmos redo. For 35 bucks this set is a bargain. And they ended this version of Spiderman because the last movie made a "disappointing " 900 million?
Good grief. Anyway my favorite spidy.
Get it if you can find it

A trip to the future in the sixties

Verified Purchase:Yes
Saw this during the holidays and had to have it. Just got around to watching it. Three steel books, one for each season.
The refurbishment of this series was well done, the new effects are quite well done and don't interfere with the nostalgia of this series. The new soundtrack is dynamic, with the Enterprise flying over your head.
Menu's, layout, all first rate. A must for Trekkies. Or anyone else really.

Classic 80's Burton

I had this on laserdisc "back in the day", the colors and design of the movie were amazing. Great story, really something different. Of course this 4k version outshines it. Alec Baldwin looks like he's twelve years old. Haven't seen it in quite awhile so it was fresh. Worth a look.

I don't know why this movie didn't do better than it did. I thought it was great, as nd when I saw it at Best Buy I grabbed it. Story of one of the most important naval battles in history. It's also a great demo disc for my 7.2.4 system.

James Garner played easy-going ex-con/P.I. Jim Rockford in this popular 1974-80 NBC detective drama created by Roy Huggins (InchThe FugitiveInch) and Stephen J. Cannell. Whether it's an insurance scam, a missing persons case, or a police investigation gone cold, Rockford-with help from his dad (Noah Beery, Jr.), ex-cellmate Angel (Stuart Margolin), and Detective Dennis Becker (Joe Santos)-was the man to turn to to solve the Inchunsolvable. 120 episodes on 22 discs. 102 hrs. Standard; Soundtrack English Dolby Digital mono.

Best detective show ever
on July 24, 2022
Posted by: steve
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this on spur of the moment. I already had the DVD version, which I watched not too long ago. So I havent seen this one yet.
This is from Mill Creek, known for their cheap production with cardboard sleeves, etc. Thats on DVD. The bluray version of "That 70's Show was quite good. Quality through and through. And that's what this set appears to be. Also more compact, with several cases, two discs per case. A very good presentation of my favorite detective show. Looking foward to watching it again. And again. And again

Another great job by Kurt Russel
on May 9, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
Havent seen this one in quite awhile. Lot of action, great acting, and very accurate historically. Not the Kevin Costner version.
Picture was great, you forget in this age of 4k just how great Bluray is, but I would buy the 4k , I like this one that much. Might want to pass on it if you're squemish, but Val Kilmers performance had Oscar rumours and Dana Delany just lights up every scene she's in. Not the best Western but its up there.

What ever happened to musicals?
on May 8, 2022
Posted by: steve
Verified Purchase:Yes
Don't know why I waited so long to see this movie, it is really something special. Not exactly Macbeth but a very entertaining story. Vertigo is my alltime as far as picture quality, and this one's very close, just a tad overstaturated, but otherwise an amazing picture. But Vertigo wins, the two years spent restoring it shows. But that is nitpicking, the technicolor on this one stands out. With 4k and HDR these old technicolor moves look better than ever. But you'll forget all of that watching this one, its a classic. I just wonder if Gene Kelly knew when he was doing "singing in the rain" ( the song) that it would become one of the most iconic scenes of a movie of all time. A hundred percent movie, not even close. As fresh as the day it came out

A movie that's like an old friend

Verified Purchase:Yes
I must have seen this a zillion times back in the seventies, I lived in Alabama and this was our world. When they were filming Hooper my buddy worked in the hotel where Burt and Sally were staying, as much as I begged he would not let me sneak in and get a look at them passing through the lobby. Anyway this is a great movie, better times. Two words as to why it was so funny, Jacky Gleason. His comedic genius really lights up this movie. And the picture and sound of this 4k presentation is first rate. A must have

I mainly use this to save old home brew DVDS to bluray. Had these in my closet for years. Saving some to HD, but for things that I don't want to trust to the nature of cheap usb drives I burn to a more stable type of storage. Watching the occasional movie on blu on my computer is nice also.
The double cable is a bit of a drag but not really a bother once you get started. No problems so far

Posted this review before watching this, and could not believe the picture quality of this set. From Millcreek of all people. They really stepped up their game on this set. On my OPPO it looks 4k. Very good

Can this be read to a smart tv?

You would need a USB to USB C adapter, This reader is USB C and I know of no smart TV with USB C. Not yet anyway

Is this compatible with an IPad 11 Pro?

If it has usb c, as a matter of fact it says on the box "for Apple products" although I use it for a windows machine

Relish the immersive audio experience created by this Klipsch Reference II subwoofer. The spun-copper injection-molded-graphite subwoofer and built-in digital amplifier provide high-volume bass free of distortion, while its 29 to 120Hz frequency response lets you enjoy an extensive range of sound. The 12-inch height and brushed polymer-veneer finish on this 400W Klipsch Reference II subwoofer enhance the look of your entertainment setup.
 

Will this sub work hooked up to turntable accompanied with a pair of Klipsch ref. 4 in. 35 watt 2-way powered monitors?

Sure, but I would place it some distance from the table. My Rega III was not affected by it at all, its on the other side of the room {12 ft).

Experience high-performance audio with this Klipsch Reference II floor-standing speaker. The two 8-inch injection-molded graphite woofers provide deep, distortion-free bass, while the 1-inch aluminum tweeter and Tractrix horn produce clear, crisp high notes. This Klipsch Reference II floor-standing speaker handles a continuous 150W with a peak of 600W for powerful, earthshaking sound.
 

Can I combine this with my bose surround sound system

Bose makes great small form factor items like soundbars, radios, etc. I have the Wave radio and a blutooth speaker from them. But for large scale applications I would go
another way, just not their area, also its not a hard and fast rule but your speakers in your system need to be from the same manufacturer, something called timbre matching,
so that when sound moves from one speaker to another it won't change, like a truck moving from left to right.

How long will these be on sale?

They were on sale for 650$ a pair when I bought them, but were back on retail a few weeks later. They have been as low as 500$ a pair. Just keep an eye out.
In my humble opinion they are worth retail, the cheapest B&W floorstanders are two grand a pair, after all.
