Solid little monopod
I do a lot of wildlife photography and when trying to get the right shot of birds you end up standing around a lot. The heavy cameras can be a bit much on old hands and wrists but this monopod takes the weight Sony RX10 easily. Some monopod reviews talk about weak connectors that fail to hold the camera safely but this one seems plenty tough. I like the lever action releases instead of the twist models, and as a tall fellow I really like the extension available on this model - plenty of length for me even if shooting on a side hill where the foot is below me. The combo foot with steel peg or rubber pad is handy for different surfaces. It packs easily to a compact size that will fit my backpack, and it is plenty sturdy for use as a walking stick. Excellent value in my book.

Incredible bargain
Great camera for an AMAZING price. I have no problems with the focus speed (maybe since I'm not shooting action?). I primarily use it with the EF 50mm f1.8 and the Fotodiox Pro adapter (100% success with this--note that the Fotodiox has the correct non-circular shape inside to prevent strange light effects). I also have the 22mm f2 and the 18-55 kit lens, but I rarely use them (especially the 18-55). The other lenses take clear photos, though the 18-55 isn't as clear as the 50mm. I also bought a yellow Ape case cube, which has been fine, so far. Color has been beautiful. I would not invest in the M3, especially with its lackluster performance with some EF lenses. Also, with this camera, the menu system is the genuine EOS menu system, which was important to me. RAW bracketing works but could be more straightforward, though I imagine that experience is identical with the entire EOS line. Battery has been fine, in my experience. I'm not shooting zillions of shots per day.I wish the wireless supported live shooting direct to your computer. In my opinion, it's silly that they hobbled it this way to differentiate it from its bigger cousins. Also, you can't connect to the device directly over WiFi with the "EOS Utility" that downloads photos from your camera. This fundamental feature would make the WiFi so much more useful. I wish they'd enable this in a firmware update, but it seems Canon isn't interested in this camera--not firmware updates as of now, and with several newer models, I doubt the trusty, excellent M2 will ever see a firmware update.

High resolution, ok videos
I bought the Wolfang 420 after side by side comparisons with the Akaso Brave 6 plus. The Akaso shoots smoother and better looking video during active motion such as walking or running but the Wolfang is generally better with overall sharpness, especially close to the camera. The videos from the Wolfang 420 look very good when shot on a tripod or when camera motion is smooth and well controlled. The Wolfang is waterproof and the audio is good without the remote mic and will be suitable for fishing, water sports and wet weather. For a dry weather action camera, the Akaso Brave 6 plus would be my choice.The Wolfang 420 does have some glitches, the stability function sometimes vanishes from the menu and it requires a reboot before it shows up again (reset camera to default settings). The touch screen is very sensitive and it is easy to accidentally switch to photo mode (single shot) while trying to shoot video. The shutter button and power button take a fair amount of pressure to activate which can be difficult with gloves on or cold hands. Generally the controls are good but limited, EV adjustments are in full +1,+2 or -1,-2 stop increments, half stop would have been better. Time lapse settings are good, ISO settings from 100 to 3200 and auto but the video quality suffers in low light. High speed-slomo shooting is up to 240 fps at 720p resolution and looks ok (no EIS) and up to 120 fps at 720p with image stabilizer on.I'd like to see support for extra rubber lens covers ( I lost mine already), their battery charging kit is currently unavailable (1/23), and improved electronic image stability would be great if possible with a firmware update.

Easy Setup and Solid Performance
This WingHome Trail Camera 630M is a solidly performing cam that produces good images and rarely misses anything that moves either night or day. One of the best features of this cam is that it is so much more simple than most cams I have used so a novice can work with it and set it up with the fast start guide and the user manual which is written in very readable language and font. The cam doesn't produce images with the severe curvature so common with wide angle lenses. The Leica lens is of exceptional quality and the cam is a good value for what you get. It is, as one would expect, waterproof. An unexpected bonus is that at night it doesn't blast the moving subjects with a blast of bright light which can draw attention to the cam. There are higher resolution cams out there but this is certainly a lot of cam for the investment.

Amazing durability and great video.
Great action camera amazing durability and video quality. Sound isnt the greatest but I edit my video with music.I have purchased 2x from this seller both came in original packaging and perfect condition.I fly fpv multirotor quads primarily in bandos and have crashed both cameras minimum 30x each. One I did crack the shell on a massive crash but contacted runcam and got a new shell and lens glass for $15. Still works perfect. The other I crashed and fell into a 4ft hole with a foot of water. It sat there for 10min before I could retrieve it. After opening it up and drying it out with a hair dryer it works flawlessly. The runcam5 is not waterproof but it is the most durable action cam I have purchased. I recommend getting the squaretrade protection plan as well.

Really great action camera
I evaluated a number of products specifically for SCUBA and IDPA. Competitors has filters that you add onto the lens depending on the depth while this has a diving mode.Did a good number of dives on wrecks off Moorehead North Carolina at different depths (Nitrox) , a submarine included. The picture quality is outstanding regardless if you are at 30 or 120 feet and the colors are amazing. I had a top of the line film camera with strobes but it never delivered the true color of say angel fish down at a depth. This product does and you can effortlessly transfer via WI-FI to a laptop to edit.Also have used it for IDPA competitions and the image stabilization is great.I highly recommend you at least trying the V50 out, the price is very good, plus you get every accessory imaginable.Very happy with it.

Very happy customer
Definitely agree with all of the reviewers here. This bundle is just perfect and even beyond expectations. This was my first time buying something that has been refurbished so I was really unsure. Good thing I listened to what everyone else said about this specific bundle. Every pieces was carefully wrapped and look very new. You really can't tell the difference from a brand new camera. This is such a great deal. Trust me, I spent a great amount of time on my research of the pricing and such. This is probably the most bang for your bucks deal. Very pleased that I don't have to shell out more money for a carrying case, lens caps/hoods, and a strap. So pleased that I am even writing a review (I usually don't bother). Great seller---Secondpity.

incredible features for compact size
bought this with low expectations for the price. I have bigger field cams that are twice the price and have half the features. the two best features are the front facing screen so you can actually see exactly what the camera is seeing without guessing the right angle. that alone is a hit. next, you can review your pics on the screen without the use of a card viewer or taking your card back home. If thats not enough, there is a feature for continuous recording, so that if you run out of space, it will rewrite over oldest pics. Thats a big deal if some caterpillar gets on your lens and causes a thousand useless pics and then runs out just when you need it. Overall, the menu options are very comprehensive, the size is easy to conceal, uses only 4 AA batts, and amazing features. 5 star

GoPro Hero 9 is PERFECT for Vlogging!!
I am an aspiring YouTube content creator. I do vlogs, tutorials & product reviews. I started out my channel vlogging with the GoPro Hero 7 Black and absolutely loved that camera. It was my very first GoPro and it was such a beast of a camera. I told myself I would never upgrade to another GoPro unless they added a front-facing screen and GoPro really came through with the Hero 9!! It is my favorite feature of this camera and every time I pick up my Hero 7 (yes, I still own it) I find myself wondering how I ever got along without a front-facing screen. It is so incredibly useful for framing your shot when your camera is mounted, for taking selfies and especially for vlogging. Combine that along with the plethora of resolutions, framerates, and FOV lens options, and lets not forget the incredibly mind-blowing Hypersmooth 3.0 electronic image stabilization. All these features make the GoPro Hero 9 the perfect vlogging camera, not only for action sports, but for travel vlogging, food vlogging, family vlogging, hiking & camping vlogging, and even general day-to-day vlogging. And obviously the Hero 9 is right at home capturing your surfing, snowboarding, skiing, sky-diving, snorkeling, scuba diving, cliff jumping, trail running, water skiing, jet skiing, and whatever else you throw at it, epic moments. This is definitely THE BEST Gopro you can buy to date. I was on the fence when the Hero 9 came out about upgrading from the Hero 7 but I am definitely glad I upgraded, this thing is amazing! For anyone interested in seeing how well the Hero 9 functions as a vlogging camera, I went on a day trip to San Francisco using the GoPro Hero 9 for a full day of vlogging and uploaded the video on my YouTube channel. Search my channel name, "Dennis Mina" and GoPro Hero 9 Vlog. I hope this review and my YouTube video helps you out. Thank you!
