Great product for a lower-end model!
354863
If you are looking for a gps hand-held unit that is a great price at a lower model range than this is great!  This is the first handheld model I have ever owned and it really gets the job done.  There are no real thrills about this gps, it's down and dirty.  I use this product mostly for geocaching and alittle light hiking.  I was alittle worried b/c I own a Mac Book Pro that I would have problems, but I haven't run into one yet. (only had for a month)  I haven't really tracked anything online or saved routes but I have downloaded waypoints and geocache information from [...] and it has worked smoothly.  I saw other reviews on this product that people had problems with the compass (there is no problem with the compass you just have to be in-motion for it to work!)
The buttons are alittle awkward to use with one hand but nothing you can't get used to and the menus are fairly easy to understand you just have to play with it a few times.
Don't bother with the directions, they do not explain anything clearly.
The device is very light-weight and easy to carry with the provided neck strap.
The only thing I would recommend is to purchase the extra maps (b/c the base-map has NOTHING on it).  I have not purchased any yet but plan on soon.

This is a nice upgrade for my Parrot 2.0, making it much easier to fly it in low-light environments.  The Parrot's flight control system uses the downward facing camera to maintain a constant position when hovering.  When this camera cannot see the ground below (because it is too dark or because the lens is blocked), the aircraft will drift around in one direction or another, unable to stay in one position.  This LED "Halo" is the perfect upgrade if you want to fly in poorly illuminated areas, because it provides enough light for the downward camera to keep the aircraft steady.  Of course, when you fly more than 10 or 15 feet off the ground, it isn't really enough to keep the camera happy.

It also looks cool!!!  The PCB that the LEDs are soldered to is aluminum, keeping them cool and making the product very rigid.  The amount of power this thing uses (0.12A @ 12.4V) is insignificant compared to the 8+ Amps that the Parrot itself is using to combat gravity.  That means that it does not reduce your flight time at all.

I do have a couple of minor complaints.  First, the soldering job is not fantastic, and a few of the LEDs are crooked or off-center on the pads (looks a little cheap).  Second, the Included wiring adapter that goes between the battery plug and the Parrot's power plug has wires which are significantly smaller than the power wires on the battery and the Parrot (20AWG vs. 16AWG), but they still have to supply all the power to the aircraft.  I WOULDN'T USE THIS ADAPTER as it comes, because there is a serious risk of the wires melting.  Finally, the included velcro patches which you are supposed to use to attach this thing are pretty useless.  It doesn't stick very well, so I ended up just using some other velcro pieces I had lying around instead.

I purchased this to replace my TCC-750 and it made a massive difference! It's not surprising since the 750 is a very simple phono-pre. Transients sound better, as to highs and bass. Midrange didn't seem to change much but switching out the 750 with the 640P eliminated the need of having to adjust EQ for most of the records I listen to. It sounds crisp and detailed and has brought a new life to my Shure M97xE.

The 640P uses both discrete components as well as op-amps to achieve amplification with its own AC/DC power section that offers a true bi-polar supply to the op-amps as far as I can tell. It can also be upgraded easily by replacing capacitors and the op-amps themselves. There are, however, already some higher end capacitors in some sections, although replacing the electrolytics with something better would be a reasonable (and inexpensive) upgrade path.

Though I have not heard the comparison with my own ears, I don't expect to compete with the high end phono-pre's out there, particularly if using higher end low-output MC cartridges. The 640P does support MCs but an expensive cartridge likely warrants an expensive pre-amp as well. Also the hum from the 640P was a tad louder than I expected. This may be attributed to a less than perfect ground, however. The turntable ground screw on the unit I received was not actually grounded. To remedy this, I am using a wire screwed into one of the screws holding one of the RCA jacks which I then screw into the turntable screw along with my ground wire from my turntable. Annoying, and I suspect caused by the fact that I ordered the (painted) black version.

The ground screw issue is the reason I gave this 4 stars. The standard silver version may not have this problem and I would actually recommend buying that one over the black version as a result.

All in all, it's a fantastic, easily moddable, great sounding pre-amp for the price-range!

This is a great product if you don't have the money to spend on a more expensive lens.  I bought this to take closer wildlife pictures, and it has worked well.  There is some color fringing in really high-contrast areas (see the customer image I uploaded), but under more average contrast conditions, they aren't noticeable, and I was able to fix this example pretty easily with photo editing software.

I showed the original picture to my wife and she didn't even notice anything wrong with it, but anyone who knows what to look for will definitely notice it.  A better master lens might also mitigate that problem, but I've never seen any color fringing on my lens without the converter.

Also, as others have pointed out, you need good lighting and manual focus.  I've still managed to snap some fast-moving subjects, but it takes a little planning and practice, doing it the "old school" way.

Do I still wish someone would buy me an expensive 600mm lens?  Sure, but I'm happy with this one for now.

This is an excellent card for owners of older or low end machines who cannot use newer PCI-E slots or AGP. I have a 3 year-old eMachine which this installed easily in and worked well with. Prior to installing this card, 3D games were jerky and nearly unplayable but this card fixed that up quite well.

Be forewarned though that it won't overcome the limitations of a sluggish or cheap processor. It will improve the look and feel as well as screen refresh speed. If you've got a poor integrated graphics chip which off-loads a lot of the graphics rendering tasks onto your CPU, this will help tremendously. It'll also reduce the possibility of overheating.

As a bonus, the card adds a video port as well as S-video (S-video is commonly missing from low-end PCs). S-video allows you to see your computer's screen on your television as well as interface with S-video devices (such as video capture boxes and cameras).

One note about installation though, you will probably have to disable the driver for your integrated video chip to get the card to function.

I felt the need to add a five star review to counteract the handful of bad reviews on this product.

I will list the two negatives first:
1. I will admit that the instructions are not what an average use needs, so find the other review that gave more detailed instructions if you're confused!
2. Only having 6 wall mount screws is ridiculous. Will 6 hold it if properly installed and used within the weight and size restrictions? Absolutely. Do only having 6 wall mount screws when you could easily have 8 or 12 instill confidence in the average user? Absolutely not. Add a few extra screws for peace of mind!

Other than that, I love this thing. The mount articulates very well from side to side, the included level is great, and the entire thing just feels sturdy. I mounted a ~7 year old 42" plasma (heavier than your average modern 55" OLED) and I didn't notice any bending in any part of the mount. It is also awesome that it comes completely assembled so all you had to do is install the TV rails and screw the mount into the wall! I will try to update this once I get a 55" TV on it in the next few months. If you don't see an update, assume that it still hasn't fallen off the wall!

A good little unit!  I like that it came with two tripod mounting adapters for varying clearance on the rear LCD screens of various DSLRs.  Unlike other inexpensive viewfinders that use magnetic frames to attach the unit; this tripod mounting adapter insures that the viewfinder is snugly kept in place with the help of the elastic band.  Sure, its lightweight plastic and not in the league of pro-grade equipment, but it's not hundreds of dollars either!  Keep in mind that if you are purchasing this and will be mounting the camera on a tripod, hand grip or matte box rod assembly, you will probably also have to purchase an extended length tripod screw to make it work, as the thickness of the holding bracket will not allow secure mounting.

I bought this as a low-cost temporary solution until I could afford one like the popular name brand that I'd had for 28 years that had cost $300 and was a work horse until its motor recently burned out. I also own a canister DD Breeze (without a power head) that I've used for those areas an upright can't reach, and it's worked well for about 5-6 years, so I figured I could at least trust the motor of this upright. After using the upright Dirt Devil Breeze once, I have decided that if it doesn't last as long as the upright I used to have, I do not care! lol! I would rather buy one of these every 5 years, if necessary, though at this point, I anticipate it having a longer life, if used properly. It sucks big time, as many reviewers have stated. After its first run over a carpet that hadn't been vacuumed for almost a month, and had built up with dirt and hair from two cats and my own knee length hair, it has proven itself extremely well.

Cons - The manual offers images too small to clearly understand; it does not include a lot of info and then again, includes info not relevant to the model I received. I struggled trying to figure out how to assemble it until I set the manual aside and looked at the picture on the box and used my common sense. The manual I received also mentions a way of turning the "Height Adjustment Knob" on the front of the head to lift or lower for different levels, but my model has absolutely no such knob (not a problem for me, as I will only use one setting on a med. high pile, anyhow). The cradle part that holds the hand held power tool was very difficult to clip on - that probably took the longest, but now it's on and it won't be coming off. The only other annoyance so far - the little clip that holds the power cord at the top of the handle so that the cord isn't dragging directly on the floor doesn't hold the cord very well (could be operator habits and can be resolved with new habits or a little piece of duct tape.)

Pros - The word is "easy"!  It's lightweight and easy to maneuver, even into tight corners. I used to pre-vac with my canister DD Breeze using the floor tool (no beater brush) to get the "stringy" areas like in the sewing room where there's a lot of thread strands some days,and by where I sit or walk a lot to pick up my lost hairs, so to prevent the upright's brush bar from getting clogged and locked up. With this DD Breeze upright, I need only to pull out the hose and give those areas a quick swipe before running over with the power head. After vacuuming the room, I had a full dirt cup that was easy to empty and the filters were easy to remove and rinse. Some long hairs still got caught in the bar, of course, but they were easy enough to remove, simply because it's light enough to easily turn over without issues and clip away with a scissors -- something, we with long hair, must do often or buy a lot of belts. ;-) (Suggestion to vac engineers: please build a model that has quick access for scissors to reach at each side of the bar where the long strands of thread and hairs accumulate - hope you're listening Dirt Devil.)

The price is so very right that even if this only lasted a short time, I seriously would think the price was worth it for just today's heavy catch-up cleaning - and I haven't even tried the little power tool yet! Look out sofas, here I come! :)

Works great so far! I upgraded from an M4A79. Re-registering all my software was relatively simple. The board itself is slightly shorter than the M4A79. I could have tried re-aligning three screw holders, but decided not to bother. The new bios software was very user-friendly and the manual made installation and preparation super simple. Very much enjoy the product so far!

Fantastic looking system with many great features - touch screen detachable front panel, USB/SD input, Bluetooth, rear view camera input, subwoofer output, clock and calendar display, etc., etc.. . A fantastic product for a really great price under $150. It's the perfect fit for my Suzuki Grand Vitara; very easy to install and requires no need for extra mounting kit or other fittings.

This kit was great for such a low price.  Looks and performs great! The box holes do line up contrary to some other negative reviews. Remove the stock tray first. The part with the cutout for the filer goes on top of the stock Tray. The other piece bolts in underneath the stock Tray.

I was very happy with the look and quality of this filter, considering the very low cost. Shipping was fast and with a very small amount of effort, I made my own cold air intake for my Cadillac SRX AWD. There was only one company making a cold air intake system, and the cost was nearly $300. So for well under $25, I made my own and now I can feel better HP off the line and a nice sound under hard acceleration. Even the final look is great considering the very low cost!

I bought this accessory for my Canon EOS 60D to give it a more professional look.  The low price had me concerned that I might have a problem with it.  But, I haven't had any problems.  I attached it to my camera as soon as it arrived.  It fit well and looked great.  There are a set of controls in the base that mimic that shutter release and other controls on the camera and allow you to hold the camera vertically but operate the camera as though you were holding it horizontally.  There is also a switch so you can turn off the controls in the battery pack to keep from accidentally taking pictures or changing you settings.  Overall, I am very impressed that such a low-priced "knockoff" can look like original equipment and function so well.  I haven't tried it with with AA batteries, but it is nice to know that if I ever find myself in a place where I can't recharge my camera battery, I will still be able to take pictures with batteries from the drug store!

Update:  I just tried to put AA batteries in.  Apparently I was wrong.  Use of AA batteries is not a feature of this nattery grip.  Still like it, though.

Ignore bad reviews of this product! Why complain if you're a cheapskate, I always say! :) No, I would not purchase the product for $60+ but given that I got it for $39, I am very pleased with it. It is super lightweight & very simple to assemble. I'm not sure if it self propelled but it sure feels like it. It seems to fly forward, hungry for dirt, lol. I tend to empty it at a minimum every other use, I find it helpful with the cheaper vacs. I bought this as a temp vacuum while I save up for something a bit nicer but I believe this one will last almost anyone a year of heavy use provided they are destroying it with cat litter, etc. (you should get a small brush dustpan combo to clean that up as much as possible before running a vacuum over it anyway, preserves the vacuum's life a great deal) Target also offers a replacement warranty for $4-5 when you order online, if you plan to use a cheaper machine like this for awhile.

Pleasantly surprised!  Very high-quality equipment

In the world of 1:43 collectors, this is called "low end."  But the careful assembly and quality detailing make it show well with much more expensive models, even my white metal ones.  This seller packaged well, mailed quickly, and did everything just right.  Many thanks!

I have some Pyle-Pro and Technical-Pro products. We normally expect a low quality product because even when the brand is not bad, they use bad plastics and wrong finish so you cannot compare with very good brand like Yamaha, Alesis, etc.

But the price of this EQ is very low (under 100USD) and I just want to give a try because in this days you cannot get yamaha, kenwood Eqs like in the past when this devices where pretty common. I was trying to get a decent EQ for my home theater or PC audio system with some kind of spectrum analyzer lights. I search and search and only see old stuff on ebay so I try with this one.

For my surprise, the unit is well constructed, the rack attachments are removible (you can use it for regular audio home component or for a rack), the bad color is ok, the number of RCA ports is great, the EQ sliders feels nice, the adjustments in audio frecuencies are acceptable and the spectrum works very well.

There is no weird noises when power on or switch between inputs in the front and the unit utilize very low power.

I can recommned this device. Resume:

Pros:
cheap
well constructed
good audio quality
great spectrum analizer
sliders EQ feels "good" with center mark
rack pads removables
great bypass function
lef and right input level controls
works great, just connect and go!

Cons:

buttons (power on/off, tape 1-2, bypass, etc) feels "funny"
bright led lights for input levels (I will even try to turn off this blue lights) - see personal uploaded pictures.
no leds in the EQ sliders

RECOMMENDED.
