This extra battery came free with a special promotion and I was very glad for it. Thinking of buying yet another. The DJI Mavic is a really great drone with exceptional battery live for long flight times (~26mins!!), but you can never have too many spare batteries to do a quick landing, battery swap, and back in the air!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Face it, you'll have some fun flying this drone but it's not very stable and your pictures will be very jumpy. It's cheap so maybe a good place to start, but you won't be very happy with the photo and film results.

Both the Paddington movies are great but I think this is actually the best. Even my teenage daughter who doesn't like movies thought this one was very good. They don't make very many quality movies anymore. This one is an instant classic.

This software is a lower tier solution than Norton or McAfee, but it does the trick at a basic security level. Primarily just for an added level of safety browsing the web. Mine is a 90 day trial so I'm not sure yet if I'll pay to keep it since I like McAfee better. This is fine for what it is.

 Apple - Pencil (1st Generation) - White
Apple - Pencil (1st Generation) - White
The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Don't get me wrong...this is a total luxury item for 9/10 people include myself. You don't really need this handy thing to get the benefit of most iPad features. Really comes into play if you're an artist using it as a drawing utensil. I use it to remotely sign documents for my business and love having it. Keep in mind though, it's a pain to store safely and conveniently so get a good case that has a holder for the pencil.

Major upgrade from my old Gen2 iPad so basically everything seems and is better, but truly this is a great tablet. It's pricey but worth it. I like this size as the larger 12' just seems too bulky to me.

shut off

when i'am watching a movie or a video the rear speakers just shut off with no one breaking the beam between the two units
Having personally never had this happen after 1 year of use, I'd say your unit is defective and should be exchanged.

How can I control the volume with a remote if I hook transmitter directly to the TV?

Does the transmitter connect to the red and white audio output jacks in the back of the TV? I don't believe these are controlled by the TV's volume control. Therefore I cannot control the volume on the wireless speakers by using the TV's remote control.
These are best connected to a receiver so you have full volume and power control. These are "unintelligent" speakers w/o a controlling receiver. They do have a manual volume control knob but that's only for sound level balancing with the rest of the system's speakers.
