i also been using it as a general flash light at times ,, and it great to provide a flood light effect if you need to more aound in the dark in the house on blackouts and being out side at night too ..
and even to search for things in dark scary places ,, it works well .. to scare the ghost away ..

more power , and got on deal of day
on July 17, 2020
Posted by: Controler
Verified Purchase:Yes
with my $10 reward , i got this for $25 ,, i now have 3,, but this one is more powerful to heat ,,, and has a temperature setting where my other 2 insigna only do power level setting ..
i travel with these to use in hotel to perk morning coffee and cook soup, or whatever in a pot .. lot easier than other methods ..
i like these with timer to shut off ,, after a while of use ,you learn what value to set and just let it go and not worry about burning or over cooking ..
my 2 original purchase a few years ago was primarily for summer cooking that it does not heat up the kitchen , ,and now with 3 of these i can cook more item at same time ...
these single units are also better than a dual cooker unit ,, where i seen reviews of them that you can't set both dual cooker to max at the same time ... but with separate one you can ,, your limit then becomes the circuit breakers of your house wiring ..
very happy with all three of my insigna brand units , especially summer cooking and outside deck ,,, and traveling ..

if your display is 17" ,, your laptop case width is not .. but this briefcase fits my dell just barely at 16" inside ,,,
this case is nicer that it expands wider with 3 gussets to add trackball and mouse and and extra keyboard and other stuff ... which is a better buy than the 2 gusset other samsonite ...
straps and shoulder strap and material and zippers all look good quality as typical and got mine on bestbuy sale ,, i jumped immediately

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.
Overall
4 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.

The advertisement claims the complete accessories, but the actual package is missing a couple accessories, blade oil and cleaning brush. I returned it and got another one from a local BestBuy and same issue. Why the package is not as advertised?

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
