Holds a charge while in storage longer than others

Verified Purchase:Yes
I use rechargeable batteries for photography, music and to power astronomy gear. These batteries are advertised as holding charge while in storage much longer than other brands. I agree with that...they do hold a charge significantly longer than others.

Will the Que Classic fit in this case? The Que is 6.5" x 3.25" x 0.25" If not, does anyone have suggestions on one that will.

The casrs are exactly fitted to a brand and model and not interchangable. ports and switches are provided for. Unless model is exactly what you have it wont work.

Control your Zoom H4n Handy recorder from a distance with the remote in this Zoom APH-4N accessory pack, which also features a hairy windscreen helps minimize noise when recording outdoors.
 

Is this compatible with the Zoom h4n PRO model?

No....the Zoom H4N uses standard 1/4-camera style mount (I have one myself and it is a great recorder by the way). The GO PRO uses a unique design of 3 "fingers" that match their own mounts. Actually the GO PRO has its own "standard" which many other action cameras use like my Garmin Ultra Virb 30.

Back up safely using this Garmin BC 30 010-12242-10 wireless camera, which transmits footage to your GPS receiver from up to 45' away. A frame rate of up to 28 fps ensures smooth video (actual rate depends on GPS, not included).
 

Does the lifetime traffic feature work with garmin 65lm

If the Garmin 65lm is paired with the bc30 which has the lifetime traffic feature, will the 65lm be able to use the traffic feature?
I previously reviewed this backup camera and stated that you loose the traffic alerts feature. That was information I was given by a dealer but evidently that refered to the older BC-20 or a earlier release of the BC-30. I originally returned the BC-30 because of the bad information I received. I decided to give it a try again and it does indeed maintain traffic alerts as well as the wireless camera as long as you use the new cable that comes with the BC-30. The box now states that it supports traffic alerts.
In any case it works quite well. I installed it on my Alfa Romeo 4C sports car. Wired it to the backup light which is easy to get ot on my car once it is jacked up. After 1 1/2 to 2 seconds the backup camera comes on. The image is actually quite good...not HD of course but more than satisfactory. It also has moveable lane alignment lines and distance markers that are very useful too. In the two month I have had it I have no glitches. On my car the backup lights are relatively bright so ;provide enough light at night to see what is behind you but there is NO built in IR or light source on the camera. I like that the camera is very small and inconspicous. And since my Garmin GPS serves double duty it saves having to put another monitor screen in the car.
By the way I tried to correct my earlier post but was unable to do so.

Carry your compact system or compact DSLR camera, 10" tablet and accessories on the go with this Lowepro Format 150 LP36625 backpack that features padded, adjustable dividers to keep your belongings safe. The side pockets make it easy to bring a tripod.
 

Does this camera backpack have a rain hood to go over it? Is the material that the backpack is made of either rain resistant or rain proof?

No hoods but water proof material...Wouldn't want to toss in a lake but no problem with rain. It is a nice little backpack hat is thick enough for a larger 35mm DSLR with a extra battery and side release option installed.

There is no rain hood for this backpack. It is fairly small but can hold my Nikon D 800 DSLR with the battery pack and side release which males the camera MUCH larger than a regular DSLR. At the same time I can also put a small lens or two in or my 80-200 ED Nikon Zoom lens. I have another large Lowe camera backpack which holds a lot but often this is all I need.

Logitech PRO Keyboard Folio Case for Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 and Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 Tablets: This protective case allows you to stand your tablet up and type on a full-size keyboard as if you're using a laptop. Lay it flat over the keyboard for essential wear-and-tear protection while browsing and viewing in tablet mode.
 

Lollipop 5.02 update - Has this problem been fixed yet?

I have read many reviews. It appears to be an awesome product but in light of the update, neither Samsung or Logitech want to address the fact that the update "bricked" the keyboard. Please only people that have done the update respond to this question. Is the unit operable with any of the new updates?
I upgraded my Samsung to 5.1.1 and the keyboard works fine...not sure about what you are talking about....is there a 5.2 version out...haven't see it as an upgrade option on my Galaxy 12.2".

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro - 12.2" - 32GB: Whether you're working on the go or simply enjoying your favorite streaming entertainment, this tablet helps you multitask effectively by displaying up to four apps side by side across its expansive HD touch screen.
 

Is the Galaxy pro user friendly for photo albums

I need to be able to download and upload folders and sub folders from my pc windows 7, android phone, camera as well an sd card easily.
Works great for pictures and albums. Just transfer from your Windows machine to the micro SD card or use a cloud transfer which I prefer. You can also get a Samsung port to female USB cord so you can plug int a regular USB flash drive and transfer pics back and forth. The included apps work fine for that although there are some other free apps that you might want to consider also that have additional features.

does the product have a warranty and how long

One year warranty. With any computer product that is going to see a lot of portable use you may want to consider the Best Buy extended warranty. Normally I NEVER get a warranty except on laptops and tablets. Over the last few years that has saved me a lot of money as they developed problems. Best Buy warranties are really good...the first year is through the manufacturer...after that they handle everything. If they can't fix it or not economical, they will give you all your money back to buy another one at Best Buy...that is how I got my Samsung 12". My old nearly 3 year old tablet developed a bad part and since it was an older model without current parts, they just gave me the full amount of money I spend towards the new one. Also...if you take it in right before the BB warranty is up you get a free battery replacement. That alone can save you a lot of money.
