Verified Purchase:Yes
i wanted to use this to see if i could hold my sphone more steady while taking pictures .. and it is really hard if you want to zoom or do macro shooting .. it helps little and makes it little easier .. but at least now i have an option instead of just my hands .. got this because of the low price ,, i also bought different heads that screw to hold the phone ,, i did not like the spring squeeze since i have a large phone ..

even though i have the large breville ovens ,, when i found this ,, is the perfect size to free up counter space and cook smaller meals .. . primarily broiling and it does it well .. i line the tray with foil and use a smaller grill in the tray .. as you see in my photo . .and clean is real easy ... most frozen pizza are not 12" anymore ,,, but 10" so they fit perfectly too .. frozen fries have cooked well too ... lastly another oven makes cooking several items at same time is convenient ..

i am surprised seeing negative reviews of not lasting .. i first bought a set from another retailer and my trail cam has been working for over a year with same battery set .. all thru winter too which was one reason i got lithium .. my trailcam takes only pictures , but captures about 2000 every 2 weeks ..
the next thing is the long shelf life ..so i decided to store up and best buy sells with my BB membership an additional $5 off .. BB pkg show 25 years , ,where my other retail purchase shows a 20 ..

when BB put this on sale big discount ,, i jumped .. and essentially very happy ,, 1TB is tons of storage for my camera to store .. although it is not the fastest ,, it has not been any problem with the canon body it is in ,, for photo and video ..
this big 1tb lets me do way bigger dumps to my backup hard drive in one shot ,, when it starts to fill which saves some aggravation when the time comes.. i been only a sandisk buyer and never hada problem with all of them ..

a win - win for me

Verified Purchase:Yes
look at my photo, i have 2 of these, the new one from BB is hooked up and working just a good as my first one that is 3 year old and still working great .. it cools my bedroom and can the whole 2nd floor of 4 bedrooms, you need to add a fan to push the cold out of the one bedroom ,, i plan to rotate use of 2 each summer now ,, so as to reduce wear and tear to each to last as long as it can ..
here are tips if you look at my photo and read further, i made a stand so the ducts are as short as possible,, for best efficiency ,,
tip #2 get 1/4" foam insulation and wrap around the hot exhaust tube with duct tape to hold,,
tip#3 i made a wood window mount to screw and silicone the outlet connectors for a solid mount to easily install and remove..
tip#4 -drill a hole in stand for tubing to a pan under it for overflow water , but so far each summer ,, none has dripped out ,, since all condensing water is blown out the exhaust tube.
Tip#5 before storing after summer ,, unit backwards to make sure the standing water inside is dumped out easily with the stand ,,

Step up your photography with the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV body. It has a 30.4-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and a 100-32,000 ISO range that lets you take large photos that are sharp and bright. The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV body is ideal for shooting action photos with speeds of up to seven frames per second.
Overall4 out of 5
4 out of 5Overly priced, not what i expected
By tess73

Not for beginners confusing options in the menu it may be the same with the mark III? You really have to know what each thing does or what it doesn't do, it maybe easier for someone who has worked with pro level cameras before? color is not the same as most canons (lighter not as vibrant) and that is one thing I wish they didn't change cause I loved canon's color .It was said in a review you rarely miss shots with it , I found I miss just as many shots as I do with my 6D and my T6i and that is using a center focus point, I also used the auto focus and moved focus points and it missed shots. I think people would be better off with the mark iii until the price drops on the IV unless you feel you need the extra MP's and it would be worth it to you paying the higher price. It's not a terrible camera but not worth the high price tag in my opinion.

I was searching for a remote control to do some self-shoots with my husband. Technically this works, but you must point the remote directly to the IR sensor of the camera, otherwise it will not be recognized. If you don't want to have the remote in all your pictures you will (depending on your camera) possibly need a firmware update or add-on to get a delay between pressing the button and the actual photo.
The biggest issue I had was finding out which cameras are working with the remote control. The internet isn't helpful at all and even the QR code on the package itself leads into nowhere. I can at least tell that it works with my (old old) Canon EOS 500d.
So, with some minus points still a working accessoire.

Connect up to 4 devices to the coaxial connection from your cable or indoor/outdoor VHF/UHF/FM antenna with this mini drop amplifier. It works with the DC power provided by components, or with the AC power provided by the included adapter.
I have 4 TV's wired for cable & trying to switch to antenna. Purchased RF-G1179 splitter. Installed antenna & plugged antenna cable into INPUT, & connected power. When I disconnect first TV cable wire & plug into output can't scan any channels no signal??
it looks like you are doing a first time ota tv antenna , either indoor or outdoor ,, you may need to point your antenna to transmitting tower .. and get a signal ,, if weak , then the amp will boost the signals .. if you have no signal the amp will do nothing ..

Aspherical lens elements ensure less distortion in the corners of the image without affecting the centers, and a continuous f/2.8 aperture means this lens is fast. Rapid autofocus ensures this full-frame Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 lens quickly locks onto your subject.
Would like to use this lens to photograph the Grand Canyon. I am an amateur photographer with an EOS Rebel SL1. Would I be able to use this lens with this camera & have it on auto focus? Thank you for your time.
if your question is real ,, my personal = no ,, for many reasons ...you would not understand based on your experience level ..
if you can spend $2k lens with $400 camera ,, i would recommend getting a bridge camera like a nikon p1000 or p500 series ..
and have way more of a camera setup for your experience level to use and save you at least $1000 ...
if you just a lens recommendation , i see bestbuy has the Sigma 8-16mm as a better match for you level and camera ,, to just answer your question which is for the wide angle view and auto ..and save you about $1300 .. .

Double your camera's battery life without adding a lot of bulk with this Canon battery grip. Vertically positioned controls offer easy access to the camera's shutter release and AF controls. Compatible with the Mark IV DSLR camera, this Canon battery grip offers room for up to two Li-ion battery packs.
I thinking of ordering Canon Mark IV 5d body only. Before placing order include a free Canon BG-E20 Battery Grip-black. Do you know if batteries is included in the grip. Please advise Thank you.
Charge small appliances with this Insignia extension cord. Its 9-foot length lets you run the lightweight cable around the room for versatile placement, and the three grounded outlets provide extra charging points. This 16-gauge Insignia extension cord has a PVC coating for long-lasting use, and the easy-grip plug is quick to remove.
wall outlet is a two prong is there any extension cords that will fit in two prong but be able to plug a grounded cord from a tv lets say
you are better off just changing the old wall 2 prong outlet ,, home depot -lowes or hardware store sells 3 prongs ,, swap out your old and connect the ground ,, and you are not just better off but safer too
