For what it costs, he does more than his duty!
PACKAGING The product is well protected from millebole in a box divided into two compartments.
LINKS. It connects easily to iPhone and iPad over WiFi, and connects just as easily to a Windows 10 PC and a Mac with the included USB cable. You can't connect it to a PC on WiFi, or at least I couldn't.
ENLARGES. This tool has great magnification as it can focus infinity and be used as a regular webcam, but can be up to about 3mm from the subject for noticeable maximum magnification. Unfortunately, as is always the case with instruments of this genre, it is misleading to quantify magnification as with an optical microscope, so I'll give a practical example. I connected this instrument to a Mac and photographed a precision micrometric grating for microscopes with an overall length of 1mm. I have a 2160 x 1440 resolution image where the grid is 1098 pixels long and the 10 micron gradation is perfectly readable. On PC and mobile, the maximum resolution for both photos and videos is 1920x1080.
IMAGE QUALITY. The quality is discreet, especially at the core. It tends to deteriorate visibly around the edges. Unfortunately, it only registers in JPG format and the compression artifacts are quite noticeable. But when photographing inanimate subjects (coins, stamps, etc.), you can achieve remarkable results simply by repeating the shot a dozen times and then taking the arithmetic mean of the images in Photoshop.
FLEXIBILITY AND EASE OF USE. If you do not have excessive demands, this small tool is suitable for all kinds of applications: electronics, entomology, botany, philately, numismatics...
It does not require a computer or power adapter, so it can work anywhere conveniently outdoors with just a cellphone to view pictures.
DEFECTSES On the iPad and iPhone 6, the real-time preview appears slightly squashed, but the photos and movies have the correct aspect ratio. All right instead of on computers.

A completely honest review from a 26yo guy
The only reason why im giving a 4 star review is because my package came in the mail a bit beat up (but still in good shape) and i found a cheaper on at Pepboys that looked even nicer out of the box. That being said, Performance: I installed this on my 2013 focus se with a snorkel delete. With the airbox cover off it makes a beautiful growl. With it on it's still nice. I do have lower rpms now at higher speed (nothing major just about .5-1rpm less than normal) and i do feel a smoother ride. Acceleration is noticeably smoother. Very Minor HP gain but still noticeable. I don't need to step on the gas nearly as much as before. It's not gonna turn your car into a speed demon but you will feel a slight increase. The best way I can describe it is like taking heavy boots off your feet and running. Nothing major but it feels a whole lot more comfortable and not so weighed down. I feel its worth the money but only buy online if you can't find one local. I hope to see mpg gains soon (I've only had it one day). Advice: have the right tools or you're gonna have a horrible time installing. It should only take 5 mins.

Most versatile phone holder I’ve ever had, two mo
The media could not be loaded.
A very efficient way to mount a phone and any vehicle at any angle you choose, attaching to air vents are so bad for phones, my case is to stack for magnetic so it Hass to be something like this. I do not often write reviews but in this case it is worth it, the one thing I would do is get extra adhesive and be sure of proper placement, as it is long and needs that support bracket or brace for the flexible line and then it needs to go against the solid surface so it doesn’t vibrate - actually perfect the way mine is set up as the button to release the clamps on either side of the phone after use is on the back when you push it against solid surface it opens up, actually the most convenient easy phone holder I’ve ever had by far. Going to order another one right now for my my mothers car and possibly a second for my GPS making three. That’s uncommon for me but it does work that good. Extraordinarily versatile for any vehicle been happy since day one, excellent design! For the adhesive you can simply reheat it, the suction works perfect but make sure you put the support mount exactly where you want it the first time and if you screw that up just get more adhesive double-sided tape at a hardware store. Literally going to order two more now.

Great value, good coffee, but one caveat
Great value and more coffee per pod (.42oz) than anyone but Starbucks (.43 oz) or Barista Prima (.46 oz). Only these three have sufficient coffee that I can make a 10oz cup of coffee that is sufficiently strong for my personal taste. On sale in 100-pod box it can be .30 a cup.Now the "but." In all fairness, I've been through over 500 Amazon/Solimo k-cups, so defective units are clearly a small risk. However a risk they are. Today I made a cup, and apparently the top of the pod was misapplied, although I can't be sure since I don't have a picture before--only after. Top seems to have blown open on one side spraying hot and wet coffee grounds all through the inside of the coffee maker. This particular model of Keurig has a removable pod holder assembly, so I removed and cleaned it easily. However there was coffee grounds all over the insides. See pic of some of the paper towels I used.Like I said, over 500 without a failure. OTOH, my wife will quickly offer that she's never had a failure with Starbucks K-cups. Worth the risk for half-price coffee? Only you can decide. Before today, I'd have given it five stars.

Feels like an internal drive
I use this SSD to backup my files from my macbook pro. It seems to mount instantly and is the fastest external drive I've ever used. My 2018 MBP has USB 3.1, so I seem to get half the advertised speed (500 MB/s = 4Gbp/s). It only took twenty minutes to back up 300 GB, compared to 31 hours using iDrive's cloud service. It was worth taking the time to format the drive. In Disk Utility: 1. Click View > Show all devices 2. Select SanDisk..Media devie (not volume), click Erase 3. Name your drive, select AFPS (recommended for solid state drives), keep GUID partition map 4. Click eraseAnother good thing about AFPS is it preserves Unix file permissions. I use rsync to do an incremental backup with hard links. It takes only a second or two to update the files each day:#!/bin/csh -fset list = `cd /Volumes/extreme/host;ls -d 2*`set last = $list[$#list]echo Found previous backup: $lastset cur=`date +%Y.%m.%d`if ($last != $cur) then rsync -avP --delete --exclude Library --exclude .Trash --link-dest=../$last/ /Users/username/ /Volumes/extreme/host/$cur echo Created new backup: $curelse echo error: Todays backup directory already existsendif

Coming 2 America is a sequel and it's fine.
Coming 2 America is a sequel and it's fine.It's like a family reunion, you really want to go so you can catch up with everyone, but you're not sure who all is gonna show up or if it's gonna be worth the trip? You wanna meet your new cousins and see beloved elders, but know it can't be as fun as the time Uncle Joe split his pants playing with cousin Khadijah's twins Michael and JJ, or Aunt Esther's teeth fell out at the barbecue and landed in Thelma's potato salad! It is a familiar, comfortable and necessary update, having been too long since the last time we all got together. It makes sense, mostly, logically, if not always humorously, transitioning to the new generation, or at least as much as we might understand the choices of them relatives we got from Florida or South Carolina.In reflection, much like a wrapped family reunion, it was good to see familiar faces, meet new family and welcome a few surprise guest appearances, all there to pay homage to Black culture, traditions, family and possibilities. If you didn't get it, that's okay, not everything is for everybody. Consider that if you want to judge the performances, script, dialogue, humor against other work, even the timeless original, which like any classic is a tough act to follow.

SEXY TIMOTHY OLYPHANT! LOL!
I'm a older woman who fail in love with Timothy Olyphant from the Dead Wood series lol! So when I seen this and read about it I had to have it when I seen Timothy Olyphant was the main character lol. OMG! I was not disappointed. Also Amazon had a 3 for 2 sale so it made it even better as for the price. But at full price it's well worth it! This is a great series. It's suspenseful and hilarious to the point it will crack you up! Lol! For those of you who have never been,lived in Kentucky there are actual people like some of these characters up in them there woods! LOL! You don't know what your missing if you haven't seen this series. They need to make more like this. You never know whose going to do what from one minute to the next. Yes it comes in a box with the disc stacked on top of each other,half and half in two different compartments that unfold. You just have to take your time removing each disc. I always when I finish one put it on the bottom of the stack and then when you get to the last one then there in order to start all over. I highly recommend this series. Hope I have helped and convinced someone not to miss out on a great show! Because you will hate yourself if you miss this one.

White Elephant champion
This christmas season I was invited to a white elephant gift exchange with a limit if 15 dollars. For 14.99 on sale, this fit the bill. I got it in the mail 2 days later, wrapped it up, and off to the party I went. I set it underneath the tree with all the other gifts, had a holiday feast with all my friends and overall there was nothing but good spirits in the air. That was until the white elephant began. First person grabbed the gift opened it up: a blanket. Next: Corny waffle maker. A few more corny gifts go by, I must say its hard to find a good gift under 15 so I appreciated some of the "haha" gifts. But then, the echo dot was opened up. And when I say "all hell broke lose"...I mean it. It started getting stolen immediately. Followed by fist fights for it. Then arguments about who went over the budget. Knowing I was the one who bought it, I kept my mouth shut and watched in horror. Remember that waffle maker? It became a tool of destruction and violence. That blanket? A suffocation device. After the 4 1/2 hour brawl was over...There was no echo dot left behind. It was destroyed in the chaos. All that was left was bruises and blood. 5 stars is an understatement for this product. A product so good it was worth fighting over. At 14.99 the price to performance ratio is simply off the charts. 6/5 stars.

Super bright! Maintenance free, Simple set up!
I Wanted A maintenance free solution to brighten up the front of my house. I purchased these solar pathway lights to replace a set of battery operated ones that were a hassle to deal with.These are Awesome!! They are bright Enough to illuminate my entire driveway and they turn on automatically at sundown. Just in time for me to get home from work.I love that you can adjust the angle of these depending on where you want the light to shine.I have one pointed directly at my front door so I can easily find the house key.The 3 different lighting modes are also really handy; I have one set up on brightest mode at The far end of my house for security reasons. A spot of my property that was completely pitch black is now completely illuminated~ provides a great sense of security!They hold a ton of power! These lights still shine bright even after 2 days of clouds and rain.It took me about 2 minutes to install them; Minimal assembly required. Really Easy Setup!they stay sturdily and Securely in place.The stakes are long enough so that I don’t have to worry about them flying out during bad weather.In use now for about a month and holding up really well.Totally worth the price.
