i got this for the price at best buy for about $10 .. how can you get a better price if it works. . which it did on my Magefesa Nova 6.3 qt pressure cooker ..
it was just a hair 1/16 smaller in diameter and not as tall about 1/16 inch too ,, so putting it on the lid ,, it does not stay ,, so i have to place the gasket on the pot first then put on the lid ..
but i did a quick test and it sealed .. so i have a couple whenever i need it .. and if it lasts ,,, it is a better value ..

i really like this and is my 2nd one with a ball head that i have .. but once i got a bigger zoom lens that puts the weight up to 13 lbs and up ,, there is a lot of shake and you need to hold it down to shoot .. or use a remote shutter .. otherwise ,, i have been using it all the time that i need or want to use the tripod .. for the price you pay ,, this is a very nice tripod ... if you want better you need to take a lot more out of your pockets ..

The advertisement claims the complete accessories, but the actual package is missing a couple accessories, blade oil and cleaning brush. I returned it and got another one from a local BestBuy and same issue. Why the package is not as advertised?

the one i purchased ,, all the accessories were in a sealed clear plastic bag ,, if you get a box with all loose accessories not in a sealed bag ,, i guess you now know what ..

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.
 

I have 4 TV's wired for cable & trying to switch to antenna. Purchased RF-G1179 splitter. Installed antenna & plugged antenna cable into INPUT, & connected power. When I disconnect first TV cable wire & plug into output can't scan any channels no signal??

it looks like you are doing a first time ota tv antenna , either indoor or outdoor ,, you may need to point your antenna to transmitting tower .. and get a signal ,, if weak , then the amp will boost the signals .. if you have no signal the amp will do nothing ..

 Canon - EF 16-35mm F2.8L III USM Zoom Lens for EOS DSLR Cameras - Black
Canon - EF 16-35mm F2.8L III USM Zoom Lens for EOS DSLR Cameras - Black
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM Zoom Lens:Take photos that are clearer and sharper than ever before with this Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 lens. Aspherical lens elements ensure less distortion in the corners of the image without affecting the centers, and a continuous f/2.8 aperture means this lens is fast. Rapid autofocus ensures this full-frame Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 lens quickly locks onto your subject.
 

Would like to use this lens to photograph the Grand Canyon. I am an amateur photographer with an EOS Rebel SL1. Would I be able to use this lens with this camera & have it on auto focus? Thank you for your time.

if your question is real ,, my personal = no ,, for many reasons ...you would not understand based on your experience level ..

if you can spend $2k lens with $400 camera ,, i would recommend getting a bridge camera like a nikon p1000 or p500 series ..
and have way more of a camera setup for your experience level to use and save you at least $1000 ...

if you just a lens recommendation , i see bestbuy has the Sigma 8-16mm as a better match for you level and camera ,, to just answer your question which is for the wide angle view and auto ..and save you about $1300 .. .

This 16-gauge Insignia extension cord has a PVC coating for long-lasting use, and the easy-grip plug is quick to remove.
 

wall outlet is a two prong is there any extension cords that will fit in two prong but be able to plug a grounded cord from a tv lets say

you are better off just changing the old wall 2 prong outlet ,, home depot -lowes or hardware store sells 3 prongs ,, swap out your old and connect the ground ,, and you are not just better off but safer too
