Plugged into my Nikon D750 and worked fine. Good sound quality and seems to be well made. However shock mount seems a bit delicate.

Sound great, as far as I can tell at my ears' age.
Noise canceling seems to work great.
Three drawbacks:
1. the enclosed quick start instruction stink. Download the real manual.
2. uses a proprietary cable that is a bit tricky to connect. I'd prefer a non-locking generic cable.
3. I find it a bit tricky to tell if the phones are on or off when using the cable.
That being said, be cognizant that there are voice instructions only when using the Bluetooth. When using the cable, the noise canceling is on when the phones are on, off when the phones are off.
Also, the app is pretty rudimentary

Seems to be OK. It's supposed to be "ruggedized" so as to record and re-record many more cycles than a typical SD card. I guess I'll find out in a few months.

Geeni - Wi-Fi Light Switch - White
Automate your traditional light fixtures with this Geeni TAP smart light switch. It requires only a Wi-Fi connection for convenient hub-free setup, and it provides flexible control via its built-in button, with your smartphone or by voice through Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Microsoft Cortana. Set operating schedules for this Geeni TAP smart light switch via the companion app.
Does it need a neutral wire?
Yes it does. If this helps: My house was built in 1959. All the light switches have only two wires attached. But when I looked in the box the switch is in, sure enough, it had a common wire that is unused. So I was able to hook up this switch, and it works great. Good luck.

Connect up to 4 devices to the coaxial connection from your cable or indoor/outdoor VHF/UHF/FM antenna with this mini drop amplifier. It works with the DC power provided by components, or with the AC power provided by the included adapter.
Instructions for hook up
im a little confused how to hook this up. I'm not seeing a difference therefore I'm thinking it's not hooked up correctly.
You ALWAYS put a signal amplifier at the source, in this case the antenna. Signal is lost from the antenna to the end connected to the TV, and thus there is more "noise." You want to amplifier the strongest signal you can, not the weaker, "noisier" signal. Therefore, the amplifier goes at the antenna, not the TV.

Insignia™ - 15,000 mAh Portable Charger for Most USB-Enabled Devices - Black
Provide ample backup power for portable devices with this two-port15,000 mAh Built-in Cell Capacity Insignia USB power bank. This 2.1-amp Insignia USB power bank charges two devices simultaneously and with optimal speed. Performance will vary based on settings and environmental conditions, and will decrease over time and use.
Does this contain a Lithium battery? Can it be carried onto a plane? Can it be carried in luggage?
Oddly, the box and the instruction sheet do not mention what type of battery it is. However, on the battery itself it does say in very small print "Li." So therefore, it is a Lithium battery. You must not put this in a checked bag! It must be carried on board with you. This is a safety measure in case it catches fire.
