Good portrait angle, so-so low-landscape angle
341776
I wanted a case like this to have a portrait-angle option and this works great for that purpose.  The low-angle landscape mode is not as good as other cases, though.

I too saw the good reviews and bought this accessory for my LUMIX LX-3 as I generally do a lot of landscape and interior photography. I was not expecting it to exhibit Leica optical quality and am generally pleased. Buyers of the LUMIX LX-3 are mostly experienced photographers so this will be oriented towards that audience. STRENGTHS: Good build quality + semi-decent optical quality. WEAKNESSES: Barrel distortion and chromatic fringing at the periphery. BEST FOR: landscape photography, interior group shots of people, macro photography, ultra-wide-angle fun. NOT GOOD FOR: Architectural photography, 8x10+ enlargements, true Leica-heads. If you bought the LX-3 for its fine Leica lens and expect few optical compromises, this accessory is not for you. If you want an inexpensive aid in getting a truly wide-angle view, and can live with modest flaws, this does the trick handily. Plus the macro feature alone is worth the price and does not exhibit said flaws.

Some documents have mixed portrait/landscapes formats, unfortunately there is no longer an option to rotate an individual page to make it easier to read!

Great angles of views, nice slim frame. I use it in a dual monitor setup with an iMac. If you need very dim lighting, you might be out of luck with this one. It cannot get very dim without turning down contrast separately from brightness.

Everything about this if very well built with exception to one small area... there should be some kind of catch when it is tilted in landscape mode. It tends to slide down and down and down until it's flat and doesn't stand up on it's own during use. *Minor* detail, IMHO.

Good quality housing, daylight and night operation mode deliver very good, sharp picture. Very small view angle is disappointing. You have to install this camera high and in some large distance from object viewed othervise you have very detailed view of "nothing" - I mean, you see clearly a button of the tuxedo but where is the tuxedo?

I've had 4 copies of this lens. 2 out of the 4 had the typical left side de-centering issue which is very noticeable at 28mm f/3.5 on today's Nikon DSLRs. If you do get a good copy, I'd still only give this lens 3 stars. On 10MP and lower, this lens is 5 stars, but when you get into the 24MP, 36MP, and especially on FX sensors this lens left much to be desired...Just not all that sharp. Not bad, but not great. I tried AF-fine tuning and all that mess to no avail. The lens does shine when it comes to distortion and contrast though. Also the build quality is quite good with it's metal mount and 9-bladed diaphragm. Also, F/4.5 @ 105mm is nice too. In all honesty if you can't afford a pro 24-70mm f/2.8,then this lens is the best alternative for the money. It's compact and not horribly slow and does have a handy macro feature, but there is compromise in the optics. Overall a good lens, but over-rated in the internet community in my opinion. At this price point I would also look at the old non-BIM Tamron 28-300 XR Di Ld. This is also a good small, versatile and affordable lens, but a bit slower being f/5.6 @ 105mm. The 24-120 VR f/3.5 flat out sucks and the new 24-120 VR f/4 is way over-priced. I would also recommend the 24-85mm VR, more distortion than the 28-105 D, but a very sharp lens with great contrast.

I'm rating this case rather low for two reasons: although it is made/sold to function as a portrait stand (for ebook reading, etc) as well as landscape stand, in portrait mode it has a severely small angle of inclination, making it difficult to read comfortably and then if you barely touch the screen, the stand collapses flat, in part because of the small angle and also because the slot or trough for the edge of the tablet is too shallow.

I like it.  It's not a 100% true free rotate thing.  It does rotate but on an "oblong" path.  So...for my bars on my ultra classic...I can't quite rotate this enough for me to see the screen at the angle I wanted....but it's OK - it puts the phone up front, exposed where I can see it at least, even if I can't tilt it to read for maps.

The optics are clear, the mount and tripod are solid. The motor alignment is slow, very slow, and seems counter-intuitive in its deployment at times, slewing through 200 plus degrees of sky when slewing the other direction would make so much more sense. Setup  becomes quicker with practice and alignment comes pretty close to the selected object. Fine control of centering is tricky, too. But, for the money, its a good deal.

This worked well on an older tripod that has a small platform. I then found a better more professional type tripod that happened to have a larger platform on it. Because this mount is short in height, there is difficulty in getting the phone to look straight on without have the tripod platform angled down about 20 or so. Because of this I can not use the tripod to take a "PhotoSphere" picture completely. It will not let me aim the camera/phone all the way up (pointing straight up at the sky). It's great for taking pictures and video straight up and down and in normal use. But if you need it to be able to spherical panoramic photos and your tripod has a larger platform, then this will not let you aim the camera very close to straight up. On my tripod with the smaller platform, this mount does allow me aim the camera straight up in the air.

Overall this is a very good mount and it holds the phone very securely in place with it's rubberized grips.

I use this, but wish it oriented in landscape direction instead of the tall, portrait way. It tends to tip when propped on my lap or a pillow - if it went the long way, it would be more stable. Also, it sometimesslipsdownwardsince all that holds it up are the little white ridges of pleat her which aren't high enough to grip more firmly.

Pluses:
  Enjoy the flexibility of having the display held in both landscape and portrait orientations
  Excellent value for price

Minuses:
  The case fits almost too snugly

I was excited to try out an iPad case that can be used in portrait mode, not just landscape like the other cases I've used. Unfortunately, the portrait mode is of limited usefulness. Other than that, it's a very nice case.

No negatives in normal, landscape use. It protects the iPad well, the buttons work easily, and it has a quality look and feel to it. Unlike some cases, the ridges that support the bottom edge when using the case as a stand are deep enough to hold the iPad fairly securely.

In portrait mode, however, the angle of the iPad is such that it's not particularly convenient to use it that way (it's not vertical enough). I understand why this is the case--the geometry of the case is such that it would require added complexity (some kind of slider mechanism, perhaps) to enable a more useful angle. I'll attach a photo of the iPad in its most upright position in portrait mode.

Other than that one issue, the case is very nice, and perfect for use in a landscape configuration.

This is a great portable background for taking head shots, but isn't tall quite tall enough for most full length poses.  The white side is more of a light gray and typically photographs as a blue-neutral gray unless you use a background light.  The wrinkles are a bit of a problem.  If you get them out, once you fold it up, you get wrinkles again.  The wrinkles are large enough to where you have to put 15+ feet between the subject and the background to blur them out with DOF adjustment.  A fairly simple fix in Photoshop, but would be nice if the fabric was more wrinkle resistant.  Tough quality thick fabric.  This won't tear or snag easily.  You'll need a background stand if you don't have something stable to lean it against.

Easy swap,  Functions well but it is a little convex so it distorts the image a little.

I bought this on recommendation from a couple fellow photographers.  While it is by far better then some of my previous ones, it's not quite perfect.

Pros:
- Quick attach/detach of camera
- Super quick to reorient thanks to the action grip
- Ability to change from handle grip to pistol grip
- Adjustable firmness for grip itself (not the grip on the ball, but the movement)

Cons:
-  Does not grip 100% on portrait mode..slips, which is disappointing.  Noticed the slip with my D300 and a 18-200 VR lens...should be able to hold that easily.
-  Have to use handle facing forward or you cannot orient the camera up more then 10 degrees...put the camera on with handle facing front and you you have much more vertical control, though you have to reach around to move it.

It's a decent middle of the road ball head, but it's definitely NOT the same quality as a Really Right Stuff ballhead.  But for who had $500-600 for a BH-55. :)
