VP83F LensHopper Camera Mount Condenser Shotgun Microphone with Flash Recording
Posted by: Samson
from Ohio, USA
As I get more and more into videography and vlogging I keep meaning to upgrade my microphone. I have been very happy with this so far! It fits in my Sony perfectly and the setup was simple. Even the audio controls seem intuitive and I’m not an expert. Best part of this has to be the flash recording. That is what makes this stand out from all the others. The ability to record the audio separately makes this an easy 5 stars and should be on everyone’s wish list. I like that it has its own power supply and doesn’t draw from the cameras battery. It uses AA, everyone with a camera bag has some of those in their bag!

I’ve used Lorex in the past so I am familiar with the setup and use of these cameras, but even without my past experience this is a good set for the beginner. The only part of the setup that takes any time at is running the wires. I have literally 0 experience with wiring anything, ever... besides these cameras. That’s it... Once those are run you’re up and running in no time. Installing these and running the wires shouldn’t deter you, think about where you want to place these and your hard drive before hand and map it out. You’ll realize if you have any limitations pretty quickly. I’ve had these running for a few weeks now and haven’t had any issues at all. I do notice a significant difference in the new 4K camera compared to my old 1080 cameras. Very happy with the quality of the set and the 2TB storage! That’s a huge plus that I don’t want to overlook. I highly recommend this set, it’s cheaper than the comparable wireless set, and the wiring isn’t bad!

Thins thing is bigger than I expected, it’s definitely meant to be used in a office setting which is perfect for me. I set it up at my office, and powered it up and connections were a breeze. Easily connected to WiFi, but the black ink cartridge did NOT want to stay in. I’m not sure if I didn’t install it correctly or what, but the instructions were a bit vague on that. The color cartridges were fine. I finally got the black cartridge seated correctly, and went to install the paper, ok sounds simple enough...put the paper in the tray... and could not get the tray all the way in. But the tray was sticking out an inch or two.... but the screen on the printer said it was in correctly and even printed a test page correctly! I kept trying to get this paper tray seated and finally had to tilt the printer onto its back and force the tray in. It worked! I believe that was my fault, I don’t think it sized correctly for my paper. Now the tray goes in and out like normal, no issues!
The problems I had were not a big deal and most likely user error.... I won’t knock and stars off for that! I love the performance of the printer, it prints SUPER fast, and HP+ and the HP app are nice additions.

I’ve had several noise canceling, over the ear headphones from a few different big name brands, so I was skeptical of these at the price point they’re at... I was impressed immediately. The finish, the storage case, the fit and how they felt after wearing them all day... wow. Very impressed, and I admit I wasn’t expecting that. Sound quality was very good... seriously. Nice and loud and the bass and treble sounded just right! So far I’ve used them while at the gym working out, working in my home office (8 straight hours), mowing my lawn, and around the house. No complaints and frankly I’ll put the comfort up there with some headphones that are 4-5xs the price. Unreal. Only downside I can find is they are hot when working out... but so are my other over the ear headphones. Nothing you can really do about that. I may not wear them for my heavy days at the gym, but other than that these will continue to be my “go to” set of headphones.

The most powerful, intelligent cordless vacuum¹ with a laser that reveals microscopic dust. Engineered for whole-home, deep cleaning it has suction power, run time and tools designed to deep clean your whole home. In Auto mode the Dyson V15 Detect intelligently optimizes suction and run time based on dust level and floor type. A piezo sensor and Dyson DLS technology automatically sense debris level and floor type to adapt suction for the right balance of power and run time when you need it. The Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head reveals hidden dust on hard floors and the High torque cleaner head with anti-tangle comb adapts to all floor types. The Dyson V15 Detect calculates and categorizes picked-up particles, showing you on-screen as you clean. It also, displays run time countdown, power mode, and maintenance alerts.

Ive had the opportunity to use several brands of vacuums in my home, but none have come close to the power and quality of Dyson.
I have hard wood, tile, fluffy carpet, and even Berber carpet in my home. My existing Dyson is 13 years old, so I am due for an upgrade. My first thought was “How on earth can I clean my entire home with a cordless vacuum”.... well I stopped worrying about that after my first use. I was able to sweep every single room with hardwood and tile with the slim hardwood floor head. The laser beam on here is pretty cool. It actually does show dust and debris that I would not see otherwise. Kind of eye opening to see how much dust you have on your floors that you never knew was there. You have the option to turn the laser off, but I like it on. It helps me ensure I get everything. Then I threw on the carpet attachment, and was able to finish my entire house with battery life to spare. The carpet head sucked up a ton of stuff my existing vacuum missed. Ok, I’m impressed.... I know technology has improved over time but wow this is nice! I also have the option to put the vacuum into eco mode (longer battery, less power), normal mode, or a turbo mode ( more power, less battery). I like that for when I’m doing some heavy cleaning. It also has a digital read out that tells my the size of the dust particles I’m sweeping up, cool to know, not a deal maker/breaker. The dust bin isn’t huge, but I only had to empty it one time before I was finished sweeping the whole house. The vacuum did seem heavy at first when I was putting it together and carrying it around my house, but as soon as I set it down to use and used it as it was intended, I didn’t notice the weight at all. So don’t worry about that! That said, I’m still impressed. I’d buy this in a heartbeat.
Bottom line is this is a powerhouse of a vacuum that more than delivered and beat even my highest expectations. I have no hesitations about throwing out my old vacuum and using this one as my new vacuum. Even without a cord!

This is a true studio quality microphone that produces crisp sound, with no distracting back noises. You can connect it using USB-C,
USB-C to USB-A, or XLR cable. For most of us, all you’ll need is the USB-C. When I plugged it in, it was really plug and play. It worked right away with no issues.

It does NOT come with a stand... but frankly I didn’t expect one. This isn’t a cheapy all-in-one microphone... this is truly a professional grade microphone, so if your buying this, you probably already have a stand or boom to attach it to, and if not, you’ll want to pick one out that suits your specific needs. You’ll feel the quality as soon as you take it out of the box.... you can feel the quality of the parts and the look of the matte black is really beautiful in person!
I wish this had a LED or some sort of indicator light to let you know if you’re on mute. It’s not a deal breaker by any means, but that would really make this a perfect product! All that said, what you get for the price is a great professional piece of audio equipment. An easy buy to instantly up your audio quality in zoom meetings, live streaming, or broadcasting. This is an easy 5 stars.

I run a business from my home as well as work a regular fulltime job. I needed a laptop that can handle my day to day activities, as well as be my workhorse for the business. This one ha been flawless as I’ve put it through these paces the last few weeks.
The form factor of this machine is great. It’s a truly beautiful piece of technology. Its that perfect size of being large enough to use as your work computer, but still able to throw in your bag and hit the road or take a flight with it. The keyboard has been great so far, its nice and big and gives nice feedback as you type, and I LOVE the backlit keyboard… one of my pet peeves is when the keyboard is not backlit, this one is great! The screen caught my eye one I turned it on… crisp and bright, colors popping off the screen. The previous laptop I used was a few years old, and I didn’t realize how much the technology has improved since then! The screen resisted fingerprints and smudges pretty well, there were still some left on the screen, but I’ve come to keep my expectations low in this area. It seems like you can only do so much to keep prints off, I keep lens wipes in my bag. Once I turned it on it continued to impress. It was fast and programs loaded quickly, I’ve been using it to conduct my work video calls, while keeping programs running in the background and it has been flawless! No lag, no choppy video or freezing, even when having multiple programs running that tend to suck the performance out of other laptops.

I have been wanting to replace my original home theater projector from 10+ years ago. I was happy with that projector for a long time, but now it’s outdated, the light is dim, and with the new technology out, it is well past time for an upgrade... But I didn’t know it would be THIS much of an upgrade... It completely blew me away...I had no idea what I’ve been missing!
Setup was a breeze and easier than I expected it to be. Hardest part of it was finding something the correct height and distance from the screen for this to sit on! It’s packaged well and once I got everything out of the box, the fun began. This thing is pretty, and heavy! It looks so much nicer than my existing projector, not that important, but I expect it to look nice and it does. I set it up the recommended height and distance from the screen, plugged everything in and turned it on. I started the calibration to make sure it fit my screen correctly and it was simple and quick. Maybe because I had it the proper distance away from, and below my existing screen to start with? I think doing that step first and not rushing through it paid off! But either way it calibrated with ease, and I’m no expert. The feet are adjustable up and down if you need to get the exact height right, or if you’re on an uneven surface, like mine is. I’ll say that the menus and setup was very intuitive. Turning it on and setting everything up only took a few minutes, which I was pleasantly surprised with!
Ok ok, once we were up and running the first thing to watch had to be an action movie, and the kids picked Spider-Man... WHOA! Yes, the 4K was a huge upgrade from 1080p, ok I expected that. But what really stood out to me was the brightness and clarity/crispness of the movie! For me, it’s the 4K and brightness combination that made these movies so crystal clear!!! It’s advertised at 4000 lumens, and I’m not sure what my old projector is but this is what I am the happiest about! Game changer! In my experience, The only negative about having a projector over a standard tv is the brightness. Not anymore!!! This exceeded all of my expectations, every detail and color pops brightly and clearly. There was absolutely 0 blur on anything or in any scene! Even super fast moving scenes and action sequences. I can see perfectly fine in well lit rooms, unlike my old projector. Again, this is huge for me. My room is naturally bright, I have blinds and shades, but they don’t completely black it out. Now I don’t even have to close the blinds. Seriously, It’s that much of an upgrade.
Biggest regret? I wish I got this in time to watch the Super Bowl on it! Oh well, maybe next year. I can’t wait to watch football games on this. My home theatre is back!

I have been a frequent user of kettlebells for over 10 years... I use them for everything and have used several different sizes/weights. I was attracted to this because of its space saving feature, and the fact that it’s several different weights in one. I’m slowly putting together my home gym and this has been a welcome addition. It is built well, and feels sturdy in the hands. I was worried about the weights feeling as if they were loose or a going to slip off while swinging the kettlebell, but I was pleasantly surprised the didn’t seem to move at all. I feel very safe using this. I don’t like that there is no charging block included with this, that’s just silly in my opinion. Also, I’m worried about the bottom of the kettlebell and the base holding up over time... when swinging kettle bells, I have the tendency to “set” them down hard at times. I need to be conscious to not do this on the base.

These are my first experience with “open ear/bone conducting” headphones and I’m really blown away. The fit and finish is top notch, they fit me surprisingly well (I have a big head), and have been comfortable to wear for extended periods. Whether I’m sitting at my desk, exercising, or doing yard work these things sit on my ears and don’t move. No matter what I do they stay put and stay comfortable. The sound is great and was odd at first without having something in my ear, but I was used to that after 1 or 2 songs! Sound quality is also impressive, they can get plenty loud!

Improve your audio experience with this Samsung three-channel soundbar. This unit, which has a built-in subwoofer, channels high-resolution full-spectrum sound and eliminates the need for an extra bass speaker. Use 4K pass-through to connect your Blu-ray player or other UHD device to the Samsung three-channel soundbar for stunning multi-channel audio and a clear picture.
The soundbar comes with the wires to connect it right?
It comes with an optical cable to connect it to a TV, but supports connectivity via Bluetooth, Wi-FI (Samsung only, certain models), and HDMI cable (not included). I used Optical cable and it works perfect.
