An awesome tripod and grip for smart phones, point n shoot and small DSLR cameras. Maybe a light Canon Ra mirrorless series with a small lens. As camera weight goes up usable extension goes down with less control and swaying. Here are some weight numbers to play with. I use an iPhone 14 Pro Max (240g) and a Canon G7 X (304g) at full extension. An older Canon Rebel SL1 DSLR with 24mm EF-5 lens (532g) with 4 and with a heavy 18-135mm EF-S lens (857g) 3 extensions. Go with a Zhiyun Smooth 5S Gimbal with iPhone 14 Pro Max (865g) for 3 extensions.

Outside with the full 62 inch extension in the wind smart phones and even GoPro cameras will move around some. Think about ropes to secure it if you need the height for a shot or lower the extensions for a more stable platform. Indoors with a robust tripod I have no fear putting the most expensive iPhone ever made on it.

As weight goes up the weakness is the 180 degree control head with a smooth locking surface. As tight as possible this can slip with heavier loads especially with a motorized gimbal moving around. The solution would be a control head with a geared locking surface and even better a metal version that would eliminate any slippage as well as no worries when adding accessories to the setup.

Maybe next year Eucos will come up with a 'Pro' version having an improved gear locking head for a little more cost. If not maybe they could provide a removal control head so we can replace it with a Manfroto version. They have already nailed so many issues we look for in a tripod as with strength and durability in such a small reasonably light package especially running around a mountaintop with a backpack of camera gear.

For now with light cameras this needs to be in your arsenal of tools making great videos when an expensive gimbal takes time to setup while this can do a lot of the same movements as you are the gimbal. It is so very well balanced forget all those other grip solutions for a smart phone or whatever you use. Go with the best tripod and grip at the moment then make great videos.

really love this LED Light personally! When purchasing, I was just looking for an LED light for me to take better pictures in dim lighting conditions. But after receiving it, I immediately fell in love with it! IT IS SO CUTE! The package is like a tofu and I really like the design: big text on the back, and the orange-yellow knobs on the side. The knobs have clear feedback at each location and I can really see all the different light that I easily control! I was also surprised by the 21 interesting lighting effects. They are so vivid! I kept playing with it for an hour and the joy it brought to me was way more than just an LED light. It made my day!

Photography is the art of capturing light and sometimes the scene's lighting isn't what you want: too dim or too harsh or...

Flashlights can be very harsh, even when reflected off the ceiling. This enables you to reflect natural light onto your subject, or make the sunlight from a window etc more diffuse. Detachable covers enable you to add a golden yellow tint to the light, have a shinier but - because it's not entirely flat - textured reflection, or use it to block light instead.

I am amused at the instruction manual which only tells you how to get the opened reflector back in its bag: it's the classic 'twist into a figure eight, then compress into three circular layers' method for things like this and folding flying disks and hair catchers and...

You'll get it wrong the first few times, but it becomes very easy with practice.

This is a solar powered security camera. The app to download is called Ubox. The app is easy to set up.
The solar panel must face the sun to keep the built-in rechargeable batteries fully charged. The installation process took 20 minutes as I had to drill holes in a concrete wall. I used my own reinforced screws as the screws provided by the seller are only suitable for stucco and wood. It's a bonus that the camera didn't need to install power cords or ethernet cables. The only cable that needed to be attached to the wall was the one from the solar panel to the camera. The camera pans and moves from the phone and a second camera is not required to see the front of the house. The pan and tilt functions are definitely a plus, as is the built-in intercom. Using the phone app, I can talk to anyone in real time, standing in front of the security camera. The camera automatically records every move to an included (another bonus) 64G microSD card (up to 128G but not included) or cloud storage that's only free for 7 days. Overall, this security camera is a good option to add some security to your home. The video quality is good and the camera is worth the money.

The picture quality was great making it easy to see what you are looking at. I was worried that the camera would only see right in front of the lens but I could also see further out and the light was bright enough which was a big plus. The side view lens helped seeing to the side if needed while moving the probe forward. I bought this Endoscope camera to help me put in a light running electrical wires from ceiling to wall on a two story house. Cutting small holes in drywall and looking before drilling holes saved me as ABS piping, and wiring were in the wall and could of become a major job and added cost if I had drilled thru them. After using this tool I only cut where necessary with smaller holes in drywall which makes it easier to patch. One thing I noticed when inserting the probe into the wall you didn't know the rotation of the image you were looking at. I used tape and marked the tape with a line so when I inserted the probe into the wall I knew left was left and right was right. Very happy with the way this job turned out. I also used the Endoscope to look at the jets in my inground spa. I wanted to find out why some of the jets were not working so I wanted to remove them for cleanout if necessary. I wasn't sure how the jets were to be removed so being able to see inside the jet tube I could see that a plastic nut was there and could be unscrewed. Crazy how far back the jet were in the tube but knowing your not going to damage anything and again could be costly for the DIYer if you cannot see what your doing. This Endoscope is better than the one my buddy got and paid more for. Very happy and glad I got this item. It has already paid for itself.

Most scopes come with much less snake-light length, this camera is water tight and reaches more than 15 feet. I'm remodeling a kitchen and this scope has come in handy for both electrical and plumbing. I do simple electrical stuff like adding a switch for my disposal. But, when things should be easy and aren't I get frustrated. I should have been able to fish a wire 3' up the wall but there was a horizontal block in the framing. Instead of struggling to figure it out the scope clearly showed me what was in the wall, and once you can see what's what, then you can deal with it. great tool!

Although there are numerous choices for video lighting; a larger ring diameter still produces a unique effect unmatched by a smaller unit. It does have a electrical quirk: the "off" position of the power button leaves a dim light rather than a truly off state, requiring one to use the socket switch instead.Overall the Neewer unit represents superb value: a comparable name brand product is easily multiple the cost.
