I compared the Hero 8 Black with this one before I purchased. I don't think you would go wrong with either. The Hero has warm colors and the Action more subdued maybe 10-20%. But in post I believe you can do LUTS easier with less than toning down more. Besides the front screen on the Action (I don't really do vlogs though), my ultimate decision was the Action's replaceable lens. The Hero 8 is now not replaceable! Crack it and it's back to the factory. I own the Pocket also so I have a matching pair. And DJI is the king for consumer drones. I have my older Hero 5 also for alternative shooting. I repeat, though, you won't go wrong with either . . . until you scratch the lens.
Another thing that helped my decision, Best Buy ran a special for $259 WITH the battery charger and two extra batteries and I couldn't pass up a $140 savings when the Hero package was at $400. Since I already had all the GoPro mount kits and pieces, they work with the Action also.

You cannot go wrong with Samsung. This was a replacement drive for a failed Seagate SATA drive on a Dell AIO box which was grinding and not booting. It was much smaller than the cavity but a little velcro will keep it in place. Although at present the machine only has Win 10 Pro and the timed boot up is 15-20 seconds even with the BIOS. My main desktop has a similar drive and with many more programs, it boots in 40 secs. So far, it's a winner!

The unit looked as good as new right out of the box. What was nice was the reinstalled OS was free of all the HP bloatware! Runs great but this is a heavy computer with a power supply almost as big as the computer! Slight exaggeration but not by much. But as a stationary or desktop replacement, it's a good deal.

You can get more bangs and whistles for a few hundred dollars more but I caught this package on sale for $600 around Christmas time and gave myself a present! It had shot up to $800 as was eyeing it for over a year. With the appearance of the DJI Mini 2K Fly More pkg @ $500, when I stumbled on this for $100 more and 4K, I hit the "Buy Now" button. With a 6-gang $30 charger you can keep the 3 batteries and the control charged along with your phone/tablet with an extra slot available. It has "Smart" batteries so they regulate themselves.
My virgin flight was in the hills of TN with 20 mph winds and in the 30's. She performed like a champ and I got decent battery times even in the cold. And I had another two batteries to fly on.
The bag which comes with the kit is basically the "drone only" case sewed on the top of this with ample room for everything you see above and room for cables, extra props, paperwork, etc. Self-contained and easy to transport.
One warning: if you want to add accessories like prop guards or leg extenders, neither will fit the compartment as designed. It's a "put them on and take them off" situation and anyone who has purchased the feet will know that is not "quick release" for a certain type that is advertised as such. A modification would be necessary.
But it is a very functional system and fun to fly while getting near professional footage/photos. And does not require an advanced degree! The Mini avoids registration for it weight. But for $5 registration and $100, you get 4K and a few other features. You decides.

Albeit many other cameras already contain wifi capability built-in, perhaps the minute size of the Pocket may have something to do with it. It's a fine camera either way. As it stands, you now have to spend $60 to add wifi then another few bucks to be able to hold this with another 3rd party product which comes with a 1/4" tripod ferrule. DJI could have easily provided the ferrule on their Pocket holder but did not either. So 3rd parties are making those dollars instead.

Is this 2 more batteries as shown (with another one powering the drone) or just 2 total in pkg? I assume the latter. Nice deal either way but 3 would be excellent!

This iLive wireless audio system picks up clear AM/FM signals for convenient radio station selection.
How long are the speaker wires and gauge? Can you add on speakers?
16 or 18 gauge. Add? No. Only two slots. However, the speakers on this unit are bad. They are removable, though, sliding up and off. My old system was failing in the tuner section. So, I snipped the speaker connectors off the new speakers and spliced them on the old speakers and the difference was amazing. Otherwise I was going to return this unit. Worked out with better sound!

Will this CD player connect to Bose Wave Radio? Or are the accompanying speakers only choice for audio?
At the risk of sounding rude, if you have a Bose System you shouldn't even be thinking about this. I've had old pocket transistor radios that sounded better than this!! I bought this unit to replace our small showroom shelf system ($99 when I bought it 10 years ago) for low level atmosphere music. The old unit's remote was torn up and the radio randomly switched channels when adjusting volume, etc. After I replaced it with this unit, I was sorely disappointed with the sound quality. The speakers were awful! HOWEVER . . . the old system had the bare wires while the new system had a wired plugs. I cut the plugs on the "new" speakers and spliced them to the old speakers. It made a world of difference! It sounded just as it had before. (By the way, the speakers on this unit ARE NOT permanently attached. They can be removed merely sliding them up. They immediately went to the trash can!)
This unit only has an audio-in jack 3.5mm. BUT YOU DO NOT WANT TO PLAY anything through these speakers! There is no CD output you could hook up to your Bose!
Something like this is probably what you'd want to go with. Just make sure it has an audio-out or headphone jack and you'll be better off with your Bose. (I'm sure it has a headphone jack though I couldn't see it. Your Best Buy agent can help you choosing the correct interface cord and power supply don't want just battery power!)

When taking video in 4K / 60 it over heated . Request you to take video in 720 . So what is the used of buying camera if we can not used the features. and switch display i am confused when you recording video we have to stop and switch and need to start
What is the ambient temperature in your region? In my area right now (Southern U.S.), we're running over 90 sustained during the day. Because of the processing power needed to record all those pixels, I think you would need more than a $400 camera! One that could house heat sinks and maybe a fan/cooling system. These cameras were not designed to be invincible to temperature extremes. What you could consider is is buying a couple more and switching them out as they got hot. Doing that would be much cheaper than spending 1000's of $ on cameras designed to tolerate the heat systematically.

HP - ENVY Photo 7155 Wireless All-In-One Instant Ink Ready Inkjet Printer with 5 Months Instant Ink Included - Black
Upgrade your home office equipment with this HP Envy all-in-one printer. Its dual-band Wi-Fi support lets you print sharp, borderless photos directly from your mobile device, and the 2.7-inch color touch screen lets you configure options for printing, scanning and copying. This HP Envy all-in-one printer increases productivity as it delivers 14 ppm of black and white documents.
I have tried 4 times to print a 23 page document. It pints 19 of the pages, then the printer jams up. When I try print something else from a different screen, the won't let me. It starts printing the 23 page all over again.
This is relatively normal for multiple page printing. You didn't state which version OS you have, but simply in Windows 10 if you hover your mouse over your printer icon in Control Panel>Devices and Printers then left clk there is a "See what's printing" choice. Your document(s) and/or multiple tries of same may be stacked up in there. I would suggest you cancel everything and start anew. It might take a few minutes to clear the queue. Jams can sometimes be illusive, too. One little torn piece of paper can stop printing. Get a bright flashlight and inspect every door, slot, paper feed, etc., on the machine. Before you try reprinting, make sure the paper you're using doesn't have creased corners, properly aligned in the tray or isn't too thick for your model printer. Worst case, a plastic or metal piece of the mechanism could have worked free, too. The Geek Squad was conceived for these types of problems. And warranty returns, too. Good luck!

What is the range this Drone can reach, meaning distance ?
Discussing wifi interference as a general cause of fly aways and loss of transmission/control in another post, that is the fly in the ointment. You have the mfg's specs which seem to be calculated in vacuums then you have reality! Since the law requires "line of sight" restrictions (and they keep piling on other things!), can you see your drone 500 ft away? And can you afford the fine past that if you can't?
I try to follow regulations but for those who are adventurous, doing a scenario can take your drone to half the max the battery can do then the Return To Home will kick in automatically. I've seen in videos the Anafi do a couple of miles and almost not making it back. Video transmission suffered after 1500 ft (I believe) but she kept going to the limit before returning home . . . just barely. Better hope your telemetry readings are reliable!
DJI's Accu-sync system refines that "wifi" signal to a super wi-fi which can extend those video transmissions considerably at the price of $800+. Maybe the Autel, too. But you pay that price for the privilege. Add the DJI Smart Controller which doubles the price with their proprietary enhancements which probably contributes to the system's efficiency, you can increase the distance . . . again for the price.
Two years from now, the efficacy of even the lowest systems WILL improve possibly reaching out more miles BUT where will the Law be? That is the question. We all want to go faster, higher, farther . . . but will we be allowed? I doubt it.

Am I missing somthing because in the specs it says wireless range is 13000 ft but how come it starts cutting out around 1000?
If you were in a vacuum with no other Wifi signals, power lines, etc., you should get better distance transmissions. A YouTube droner in Hawaii regularly posts "distance" videos often for different drones trying to maximize interference by not flying over "high signal" areas. He gets better results from that. Flying in high population areas would be decidedly different.
Manufacturers tend to publish "Best Case Scenario" info with the "Your results may vary" tag line. The particular brand of phone/tablet you're using may also have an effect. Keeping your antenna pointing directly toward the drone at all times also. But if you are flying near homes with routers, other people with cell phones, industrial complexes, cell towers, etc., that somes nowehere near "best case scenarios."
DJI's Accusync system optimizes their signals into a "super wifi" for lack of a better term and seem to be able to achieve closer to those distances out of the box. Maybe with some aftermarket enhancements (antennas, boosters) added, you might get better results. But I always point out the legal restriction of "line of sight" anyway so why risk the violation? You can buy cars that go over 200 mph but can you avoid the ticket?
I agree the "13,000 feet" seems like false advertisement just the same.

Does this drone have a return to me .. or return to home capability?
Yes. The Anafi is a very controllable, fun drone to fly. It has a "RTH" feature. While you are launch hovering, you can set that as the "home" spot. It DOES NOT link to the controller or your phone/tablet like some other drones will. You will have to manually land on the new spot.

Do you have to specifically buy the thermal Anafi to have the Thermal imaging? Or is an in APP purchase? Is the Parrot Skycontroller 3 the controller that comes with this package? Is there an extended flight controller, "signal booster" that is sold sep?
My experience with Parrot is they offer their packages "non-upgradable." I have the straight Anafi and wanted to purchase the new FPV glasses. I have the Bebop 2 FPV also and always preferred the #2 style glasses which are more compact. They refused to sell them out of the package deal. Likewise, the Anafi FPV Glasses 3 are not available separately. (But I have recently found an "identical" off-brand pair online and with slight modification will operate just like theirs.)
My point being, Parrot is not interested in allowing users to "upgrade" their drones by selling other than repair parts. I could only assume buying the TI cam from them would be impossible. It is not an "in-app" mod. I believe the camera and software for that purpose are built in to their singular product and will never be for sale separately. That's not to say a third party won't come up with a solution but I wouldn't waste my time begging' Parrot for it!
