I regularly buy additional SD Cards to have around in case I run out of space and don't have time to dump to my computer. I highly recommend SanDisk as I have yet to have one fail (knock on wood).

I didn't expect these to sound like a component set or anything high dollar but they sound great in my vehicle. I was upgrading from the factory 2001 speakers so it definitely made a huge impact. Also make note of the frequency response range, much broader than comparably priced speakers.

It takes a while to get it fully charged however this thing lasts a very long time if you're using it for mobile devices. I was also able to keep my MacBook Pro from completely draining while editing some video on a flight recently. I typically attach this to my cameras while recording longer video segments.

This is a pretty good solution for someone who likes to have radio and bluetooth options but doesn't need a large component system. Digital tuning makes finding the station you want pretty easy.
Picked up for my dad and he hasn't had to call and ask for help once!

I picked this up so my father would have better wireless than what came with his cable modem. It expanded the distance greatly and he doesn't have to deal with buffering issues with Netflix anymore.
The quick setup is pretty easy for anyone to use as I helped him set it up himself rather than me doing it. He was up and running within 15 minutes of unboxing.

Rather than buying the Apple adapter for more money I opted for the Insignia item. As long as I haven't misplaced it or left it somewhere (another reason I try to save money on adapters) this little thing works perfectly!

I picked this up to use on an audio console that is controlled by iPad (Behringer X Air 18). It provides a nice range for the iPad, low speeds but for this purpose I don't need high speeds just quality connectivity.

Lenovo - L24q-20 23.8" IPS LED QHD Monitor - Silver
Experience a vibrant digital display with this 23.8-inch Lenovo monitor. Its QHD resolution is four times the pixel count of HD for increased detail and clarity when viewing photos and text, and its 4 ms response time ensures movies play smoothly. This Lenovo monitor has an HDMI input and a display port for flexibility with connecting external devices.
Will this monitor display UHD TV content? Like 4K streaming from Netflix or Amazon via fire stick or Roku.. Hdmi 2.2 compliant?
The short answer: Yes.
The long answer:
QHD (2560x1440) contains four times the pixels of HD (1280x720 or 720p) while UHD (3840x2160) contains four times the pixels of 'Full HD' (1920x1080). So, while it will display content from a Firestick or Roku, the devices will only display the highest capability of the display. Additionally, this display will require external speakers or headphones to be attached to it for audio playback.
In my opinion, if you want a 4k display for those devices, get a 4k TV as the price is similar to this Monitor. As a monitor, I love this one and use it daily at my desk as a secondary display.

Insignia™ - Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI Adapter - White
This Insignia™ NS-PD94592 adapter allows you to connect a computer with a mini DisplayPort output to devices with an HDMI input, such as a monitor, projector or TV, and supports up to 4K resolution at 30hz for clear playback.
Does this allow input into the computer from an HDMI device? I'm trying to set my camera up so it can record and display on my mac's screen simultaneously. My Mac isn't recognizing the camera when plugged in. Thanks!
Unfortunately, you can't input from HDMI into the mac via a display adapter - however there are some great products that allow this (albeit more expensive than a display adapter). If you need this functionality - I recommend the "Intensity" device from Blackmagic Design which is offered in Thunderbolt as well as USB 3
