A perfect small, flexible tripod for a full-sized DSLR with a large, heavy lens. It’s 6.6 lb. capacity allows one to safely take a long exposure, or a group photo, Nice Ball Head, with a quick release plate that fits base of any standard camera. Would recommend.

If you don’t need a built-in speaker, this is the Alexa to purchase. I have it hooked up to a wired speaker and it sounds great. I use it for music (Amazon Music Unlimited), shopping lists, weather, alarms, timers, and tons more. Very useful.

Compact, well-made, there is some cushion/protection. However, I can, just barely, get my Sony RX100 into this case. Which is great, because I don’t want to add bulk to a pocketable camera. But, that also means there really isn’t any room for a spare battery, SD cards, etc. I kept the case anyway, but I’ll be looking for something a smidge larger. Btw, I own a RX1002 and a RX1004, and they both do fit, but no extra room.

I bought this remote to specifically interact with my Harmony Hub (which allows this remote to control all IR and some Bluetooth electronics in our house — and Alexa/Echo seamless integrates with the Harmony Hub, btw). I now tell Alexa to “Turn on the TV” and she turns on the receiver, Tivo, TV, and sets all the appropriate inputs. This is due to the great interaction between the Harmony Hub and Amazon Alexa. This remote does not come with a hub and must be purchased separately (we already had a hub from our Harmony Touch, now discontinued, from years ago). Ergonomic design is not great, as the primary playback controls are on the very top of the remote. I have no idea why the designers would have done this. Otherwise, the touch screen is nice and, since it’s a Harmony, it pretty much can control everything you throw at it (if it handles IR commands).

My son plays highschool football with an average 2hr game. Is there a 3hr or more flight and video battery option?

No, a battery only lasts about 24 minutes hovering and 27 minutes moving, at best. So, you'd need to swap batteries multiple times. And, I don't think it's realistic to expect a drone to fly 3+ hours at a time. Better to buy a nice video recorder and put it on a tripod to record the game. Much quieter, too -- the other fans will appreciate that!

Yes, any 3.5" or 2.5" SATA drive will work.
