The Logitech LITRA GLOW
Premium Streaming Light with TrueSoft 360 degree rotation has a multi-LED panel that is a little over 3.5" square that can extend to about 14.5 inches high and weights under one-half Pound. It fits on the top of very monitor that I own. It comes with a standard USB-C to USB-A cable for power that is almost 5 feet long. Windows® 10 or later, macOS® 10.14 or later and a USB 3.0 port are required for full functionality. It has variable output up to 250 Lumens with a Color Temperature Range of 2700K (warm cast) - 6500K (daylight) with a CRI of 93. This spread is great for streaming in almost any lighting environment. It uses a Precision Sculpted Optics Lens along with a Proprietary Frameless Diffuser for soft, even contiguous lighting. It works with the Logitech G HUB Software for On/Off, brightness, color temperature, presets and G Key assignments providing easy control. It has a standard ¼-20 thread mount that works with most tripods and many other accessories. This means if you use it with a power bank it makes a great Blogging or Vlogging light source.
This is a very well made portable, attractive and durable light source. This is one of those WOW items.

Unleash the power of the Samsung 980 PRO with Heatsink for next-level computing. With a PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface, get up to 2x the data transfer rate of PCIe 3.0¹ while remaining compatible with PCIe 3.0. ¹Results are based on a comparison with Samsung PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSDs and SATA SSDs.

The Samsung 980 PRO Heatsink 1TB PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.3c Internal Gaming SSD M.2 for Laptops and Desktops is a reasonably future proof SSD upgrade. It is FAST and at a minimum increased the transfer rate on my Gen 3.0 buss by about 20% for both read and write speeds. The best part in addition to increased transfer rates is the mitigation (and in my case the elimination) of throttling (due to the HEAT SINK) combined with a reduction in internal case temperature compared to my Samsung (MZ-V7S1T0B/AM) 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid-State Drive with V-NAND Technology. The Samsung wizard shows even more impressive results. With the dramatic increase in buss speed, I expect to be very happy for 3 plus years. I will probably go with 2T or more for increased storage. I find it to be great for intense gaming and for video rendering. I also used it successfully in an external Thunderbolt 3 case on a MAC! NICE!

The AG952 Odyssey Neo G9 49" mini-LED Curved QHD G-SYNC/FreeSync Gaming Monitor has a very wide 49” 1000R Quantum Matrix HDR2000 curved screen with a super-fast 1ms response rate and a 240hz refresh rate, G-Sync and Premium Pro support, and customizable Odyssey Infinity Core lighting for RGB type effects. It was easy to set up by following the included paper instructions (full installation instructions are available on the web) and required about 10 minutes for assembly. It is W I D E and deep. It wraps well to my peripheral vision. The stand allows for ample swivel, tilt, and height adjustment. The large number of mini-LEDs grouped in zones adds great control over blacks and also brightness levels. I have experienced no dead pixels. It allows for easy connection to computers, with 2 HDMI, 1 DisplayPort, 2 USB-A and 1 USB-B ports. The built-in control interface is intuitive and allows for great flexibility in configuration. It looks very massive and cool. It is easy to work or play on all day long. I have experienced no eye or neck fatigue. This is an awesome display. fyi - I am running it on a maxed out desktop gaming PC. I love this display!

Webroot's Web Threat Shield is an additonal defense against cybercrime, it protects you while browsing the internet. It warns you about unsafe websites before you click, and automatically blocks bad ones that are trying to install viruses and malware on your computer. It does this through up-to-the-minute data about website reputations and provides real-time protection from high risk phishing sites. It also helps protect you from threats by showing a warning message.
Web Threat Shield along with Webroot's cloud intelligence is great at isolating you from internet sites that contain malware payloads. The protections is real-time. You will find installation and setup easy. I have had no security issues since I started using it.

The Ninja Foodi XL Pro 7-in-1 Indoor Grill & Griddle with 4-Quart Air Fryer, Roast, Bake, Dehydrate, and Broil showcases Ninja's 500F grill grate (with a surface of more than 12x8 inches). You get direct, edge-to-edge heat (which is important for uniform cooking without hot or cold spots). So sear, sizzle, and crisp! With the hood down you get cyclonic air, while with the hood up you get very intense high-heat searing. It has an awesome smoke control system that also mitigates grease spatter and helps prevent grease buildup in exhaust vents. All but the base unit are dishwasher safe (the grill plates are ceramic coated and VERY non-stick). The air fryer is as good at producing crisp food as a dedicated air fryer. 7 functions that actually work – amazing! This is my 4th indoor grill and the best one! Easy to use (intuitive for cooking, and easy to clean).

Coffeehouse Versatility meets Pod Convenience with the Ninja DualBrew Pro Specialty Coffee System. Included 12-cup, double-walled thermal carafe is perfect for both hot and over-ice beverages, with an ergonomic handle and spout allow for easy control of pouring. Tackle grounds and pods with 9 grounds brew sizes from small cup to full carafe, and 4 pod brew sizes from 6 to 12 ounces. Brews a coffee pod faster than a leading Keurig coffee maker upon startup. With Thermal Flavor Extraction DUO technology, perfect flavor for grounds and pods is delivered with even saturation and precise temperature control for ultra-flavorful coffee. Separate from the coffee system is a dedicated hot water line. Using a separate line eliminates flavor contamination and delivers clean water. 2 temperature settings, hot and boil, allow you to make tea, hot cocoa, instant soups, and oatmeal. Brew a super-rich coffee concentrate that you can use to create delicious lattes, macchiatos, cappuccinos, and other coffeehouse-style drinks. Use the built-in, fold-away frother to transform hot or cold milk/milk-alternatives into silky-smooth froth in seconds. Top your Specialty brew with frothed milk for a coffeehouse-style drink.​ The frother is also removable for easy cleaning. Choose from one of four different brew styles; classic or rich for a traditional hot cup of coffee, over ice for an iced coffee that's never diluted, or specialty to make a cappuccino or latte. Clean function, dishwasher-safe parts, removable Ninja pod adaptor and frother allow you to easily deep clean your unit.

The unit is very simple to operate. It is easy to store in the bathroom (not needing a charger), so it is very accessible for use, I do not have a problem with using batteries (they are great for travel) although plug-in capability would be nice. It glides well and vibrates at a level that is comfortable. It cleans easily. Cleansers, serums and moisturizers seem to absorb better and more quickly than when I apply them manually. It feels good to the face. All said, over the long run, it should improve my facial circulation and lines based on my current experience.

Can you connect them to an audio Bluetooth player, such as an iPhone, to listen to music when not using them for conversation enhancement? If so, what is the audio quality of the music? Do they compare to the similar looking Bose around you neck earbuds.

They are connectable to Bluetooth players like the iPhone and provide great audio with low noise. Yes - similar to their other around the neck earbuds.

Best way to get clear low light shots with action

What is the best way to achieve good motion shots in low light on this camera? I am frequently trying to capture images or video in poorly lighted gyms or auditoriums. Is there a recommended preset that handles these conditions well?
Use the highest ISO you are comfortable with digital noise wise. Preferably 3200 or above. Shoot at the widest aperture preferred setting 1.8 at 28mm if possible. This will give you the fastest shutter speed possible. Last but not least pan with your subject. - good shooting!
