Holds a bunch of SD and MicroSD cards. The cards are very well seated and won't come out of there slots unless you really abuse the case. Lot's of peace of mind by keeping my SD cards safe. It has an o-ring seal, so probably water-resistant.

This was on sale for around $40 and was actually cheaper than a 64GB SDHC from a competitor. I like that it has the faster write speeds (UHS-3) which is nice in any device capable of 4k video.

I use this backpack to hold two Nikon D3400 bodies plus 4 lenses. Has sturdy pads that separate the components from each other. Lots of pockets for other accessories, I use the front slot to hold a Pelican case for my SD cards. The only improvement I can think of is the way the tripod is attached, the strap is plenty strong and holds the top of the tripod, but the bottom of the tripod doesn't attach to anything so it can flop around. To fix this, I stick one of the tripod legs into a side pocket, but that's not what the side pocket was designed for. Otherwise, I love that I can now carry two camera bodies and all the lenses I need in one bag.

This has slots for holding a DJI Mavic Pro w/battery, controller, 2 spare batteries, power adapter, spare props and miscellaneous other items. If you get the Mavic Pro with the extended flight package, everything fits in the case. I really like that the drone, batteries, controller and spare props have a specific slot built just to hold them, they are held in place tightly and do not flop around when the case is jostled. The shell is a hard plastic shell with lots of padding. Sturdy clips keep the lid on and there are two reinforced locking slots if you want to put locks on the case. It's plenty strong enough to use as checked luggage when you fly. It was very nicely priced too and definitely well worth buying to protect you Mavic pro. Highly recommended!

Works as described. Seems a bit pricey for the product, it's made from very thin plastic. I can easily see breaking the tabs that hold it on the drone and/or cracking the hood. I used it once, and not sure it helped too much. I'm sure it works much better if the sun were in a certain position in relation to the drone camera. If you want one, make sure to buy it on sale.

Purchased on sale. I have other WD portable HDs, but this is the biggest I have in terms of capacity. Too bad it doesn't have USB 3.1. Make sure the USB port you connect to is at least USB 3.0 or you won't see the transfer speeds that this is capable of.

Works as described, Made from light plastic, so it damages easily. I had the drone tip on its side on a wooden deck and that was enough to cause the prop to get damaged. If you're a newbie like I was, the props come as a pair and must be installed in the correct drone motor. There is a gray ring on one of the props, it must be installed in the motor with a corresponding gray ring. Attempting to mount the prop on the wrong motor will not allow you to lock it in place; this is what caused my initial crash on my deck, I had the wrong prop installed and it just spun off the drone.
There are some carbon fiber props that I've seen, they're supposed to be quieter and more efficient (ie. longer flight times) but have not tried them yet.

The Echo Dot is just as functional as our full sized Echo, but the speaker is not nearly as good on the Dot. We use it upstairs to control our Samsung SmartThings from our bedroom. The larger Echo is downstairs in the main living area where we can control SmartThings as well as listen to music.
A great companion to your existing full size Echo, specially if you find on sale (we paid $29 USD).

What an absolutely awesome drone! Light and compact but with tons of features. Definitely recommend you get the Fly More option, having extra batteries is really nice, along with the charging hub. I started out with a "toy" drone, but the 5 minute flight time and the fact that it couldn't hover in place made it very difficult to learn much. The Mavic Pro is no toy, this is a serious drone. The pics and videos are sharp, the flight time is long and the features are plenty. Highly recommended!

Overall a very sturdy case. Has lots of options on how to prop up a tablet. The case will wold up to a 10" tablet, but looks like it could also hold an 8". The only downside is it is quite heavy compared to other tablet covers I've seen.

NETGEAR - AC1200 Dual-Band WiFi USB 3.0 Adapter - Black
The NETGEAR AC1200 WiFi USB 3.0 Adapter with high-gain antennas provides 3x faster access than USB 2.0. Wirelessly connect your notebook or desktop computer to an 11ac network for applications such as lag-free, multiple HD streams throughout your home.
I live in a garage apt about 150 feet from the main house which has the router. Will this device allow me to connect to that router and have hi speed internet which I can stream movies on and send data on?
Wireless AC (which is what this device is compatible with) can span up to 230 feet. However, the router has to be AC also, if not, then the USB wifi adapter will drop down to either N (also 230 ft max) or G (170 ft max). Note that lots of things can affect the maximum range, if the 150 feet is clear of any obstructions (specially anything metal), then it is probably OK. But the more obstructions between your device and the router, the more likely it will affect the range. So make sure the router is at least wireless N (preferably it should be AC) and you should have a good shot at being able to stream.

JUST UPGRADED TO A 5 GIG ROUTER TO ACCOMMODATE HIGHER SPEEDS BUT FOUND I HAD A BOTTLE NECK WITH MY EXISTING NET GEAR WILL THIS ONE HELP INCREASE MY SPEEDS
Not sure what you mean by bottleneck. If you have a 5.0GHz wifi router, then yes this USB wifi device can help, but only if you can find a channel that isn't crowded with other wifi networks. 2.4GHz is very common for lots of networks, so having the ability to use 5.0GHz range (which your router AND this device can both use) will allow you to use a channel that has fewer other wifi networks on that channel.

I'm using xfinity hotspot for the Xbox one will this help my lag
Tough question to answer since the lag can come from any number of things. If you have a wifi scanner (plenty of free apps available for Android and Apple tablets), you can see how many other networks are using the same channel(s) your xfinity wifi. My guess is that it's pretty crowded, in which case changing the channel that your wifi communicates on will help. And since this USB wifi has both 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz channels, you have plenty of choices of finding a channel that has fewer networks using it. What you want is to have a channel that is free of every other network, so you have the best chance at getting the rated speed.

Just have a question, so at my job, there is a router, but the wifi is password locked for other people there. All i know is that there is a router but I have no wifi at all for my phone. Is this a device that can instantly make my OWN wifi? just checkin
This device allows a PC or tablet (any device that has a USB port) to communicate with an existing network. It will NOT allow you to create your own wifi network OR access the internet by itself. All internet traffic must go thru a router+modem, this device just allows you to connect a PC or tablet to the router+modem, but if you don't have the password for the wifi, then it's of little use.

Hello. When I bought my LG Model 42LB5600 from Best Buy, it was claimed that it was "WiFi Capable". Will this Ac1200 Adapter allow me to make use of it's WiFi feature? Thank-you, Jim Powers Port Huron, MI
On this particular TV, wifi-capable is a very limited. While you could add the USB wifi adapter to it, that does NOT make it a smart TV, it simply means the TV can be accessed by other devices on your network (ie you *could* theoretically wirelessly display your laptops screen on to the TV), but most likely you will need some sort software to make it work. You will need something like Roku or Apple TV if you want "smart" features like being able to surf the net, access Netflix, etc.
