Its a good machine , I took it out on the beach and found gold !

The "handle" of the machine on the ball support is a little uncomfortable. some small difficulties in taking vertical photos if the tripod is not level, in that case it is necessary to adjust the height of the legs to make the camera go vertically, if the "bracket" that connects the sphere to the machine support base had been a little longer should not have been very precise in placing the tripod level. in any case, I would buy it again for the ease of use, the versatility, the weight and the results I have appreciated so far. up to 2 seconds of exposure with light camera breeze upside down and paws placed in the bed of pebbles in a stream the photos are perfectly still.

This set up gives some great options for run and gun photography..

originally bought another adapter to attach a cannon lens to my Samsung camera but it didn't fit. So I tried this one and it fits perfectly and snaps in place easily. It's not electronically powered, so you'll have to shoot manually, which isn't a problem once you're used to it. This is great for being able to expand the lenses for Samsung cameras as they are limited in choices and sometimes a lot more expensive than looking for a used gun lens. I have not used this item extensively as the gun lens I bought is an old 300mm lens and I currently prefer a different lens. Hopefully in the future I can find a gun lens I like and be able to use this adapter again.

small, easy to use, has everything I need

This product would be fantastic for small children or anyone who is just getting in to metal detecting. Unlike the full stand-up versions, this detector needs to be within 1 foot of metal in order for it to detect anything. I burried several objects of different sizes at different depths to test it out. A penny directly under the surface of the dirt, measuring tape 6" under the dirt, a metal staple gun a foot under the dirt, and a handful of coins 1.5 feet under the dirt. I noticed it never detected the handfuls of coins and only detected the other items if I moved slow enough over them.
I thought maybe the coins were too small so I buried the staple gun 1.5 feet under the dirt and it still did not detect it. Videos that you see of people on the beach sweeping back and forth will not work with this product. You must go very slowly. Otherwise it won't detect anything. The flashlight that comes with it is very bright and works great. I will be taking this out to Riverbank in the spring to try it out underwater. Right now we already have snow on the ground so I'll have to wait a bit.

Once I get the hang of handling the background, I know I'll like it better. I use it for golf

This was bought for my wife. She's the classic selfie generation and I'm the photographer. We have another auto lens which is a bit smaller (I think 30mm) and gave great easy portraits but it wouldn't give the blurred background, sharp foreground effect and once in low light it struggled. No problem for the 50mm lens, tap the screen where you want it to focus, give it a second and beautiful clear clear images, with a blurred background. Anything over 1m behind the subject and it will start to blur. The lens works great in low light conditions. The woman wanted to keep some Christmas lights in the dark and the lens didn't even sweat. I was really stunned. In addition to close-up photos, the lens deals well with distant subjects and captures clear images. The only downsides I found with the lens were that the standard zoom required the photographer to be a bit further back than another 50mm lens I've used. This can be a little awkward when in tight spaces (a small house). The lens doesn't do well with night traffic or moving lights in the background. We were taking photos with the Christmas decorations in the background, whenever a car was coming or going, the lens would try to overcompensate and forget what to focus on.
