Should have bought a NOATAK

I was very excited about recieving this gearslinger but when I receieved it... I was sorda let down to be honest. I was expecting something a little bigger, but i liked it enough to keep it and use it for my tablet and other accessories. When I purchase my NOATAK Gearslinger i'll probably just give this one to my son so he can begin his Maxpedition journey.

I have a Toyota Venza and the vents are angled; one towards the driver and the other towards the passenger.  I tried to mount it on the vent facing the driver, but the windshield wiper stick was in the way.  When I tried mounting it on the other vent and angling it back towards the driver, the ball and socket connection wouldn't hold.
Actually this is why I only gave it 2 stars since even when I just mounted it towards the passenger, if I hit a small bump, the navigation would pop off.  I have a Garmin Nuvi 250, so small and light.  It seems the ball isn't manufactured to the exact right fit so ends up being pretty useless.
When I wanted to return the unit, they wanted me to pay both shipping and a restocking fee... and for a $6 product, I would end up losing money. Pretty poor of Blue Proton in my view.

I needed more space as My 256GB Samsung 840 Pro wasn't enough so time to upgrade.  Two years later it was worth seeing if I could get a performance improvement as well.  I read review after review and decided to shoot the works and I bought a new Toshiba OCZ RD400 Series Solid State Drive PCIe NVMe M.2 512GB drive.  My motherboard was compatible and it was time to see what one of these babies could do.  Some new reviews claimed it was fast for gaming.  So I bought, installed and tested - and I returned it.  I saw zero improvement in everything.  Booting, loading, whatever -even with Toshiba's custom driver.
But I still needed more space so I bought this.  It boots faster than my 840 Pro and the Toshiba and seems to match or exceed them slightly with everything else.  Don't throw your money away with these expensive NVMe drives.  The 850 EVO is fast and priced very well!

I was really excited to have found a large format scanner for my artwork at such a great price.  I thought I'd give it a shot and see for myself.  When it arrived I quickly plugged everything in and loaded up the drivers.  The software to run this scanner is TURRIBLE.  I began a Google search to find a proper scanner driver and maybe some scanning software that would be compatible with the Mustek.  I finally came across a scanner application and gave it a test scan.  It scanned like a dream, the only problem is that it was not freeware and the scan came out with a watermark.  In order to get the full program, it was an additional $40.  No thanks.  It's a shame a company makes a product like this that isn't even functional. Some people were able to load it up right into Photoshop but I don't use any Photoshop apps just yet.  I mostly use Sketchbook and Manga Studio.  I returned the scanner.  Too bad, was looking forward to getting more work done but now back to shop for a scanner.

Good thing it didn't cost much because it looks like it will be a waste of money. The SATA cable and the power Y cord are very cheap. When I was hooking up the power connections, wires and pins were falling out of the back of the larger plug. I got those both hooked up and the orange and green lights on the device were both lit up so I know I had power to both the device and the IDE drive. I installed it, powered up the computer and and the new drive was not found. I opened the computer case and found that the SATA cable had come apart. Part of the plug was still in the device and the loose end had the copper connections sticking out. Luckily, I had a spare SATA cable of better quality.
So now it's hooked up. Very difficult because the device it too long and the connections stick out the end making it longer. This was a second hard drive, not my main drive with Windows 7 on it. Now the computer would not boot. I did all kind of checks with my recovery disks and through the BIOS. Nothing worked and I wasted several hours. I finally pulled the SATA cord from the mother board and plugged it in a different SATA connection. The computer booted just once and the IDE drive wasn't showing. I carefully opened the case and made sure all the connections to the device were still solid. They were.
While I was looking and thinking, the computer decided to shut down and then again wouldn't boot. I took out the converter device and all the associate wires and removed the drive. NOW my computer turns on and works just fine again. If you buy one of these anyway, buy a new SATA cable with it and get one with a right angle bend on one end. It will save some space and keep the cable from being so bent when you try to install the device.
I have just one other idea (before I throw this thing in the trash). The IDE drive I am trying to use has no jumper on it. It worked fine in my old computer (with IDE connections on the mother board) with no jumpers, and it works now if I hook it up to my computer via a USB cable. I would THINK it would work with the converter with no jumpers, especially since the instructions don't specify any jumper requirements when using an IDE drive on a SATA mother board.
...and before you ask or wonder, yes, I had the SATA cable plugged into the correct connection on the device.

I am away from home a lot due to my job on the oil rig. So a time capsule for my apple products seemed like a perfect solution to my woes. However I was thoroughly disappointed when my Apple Time Capsule arrived, due the mere dimensions of 7.7 x 7.7 x 1.4 inches, hardly enough space to fit even one apple, let alone the small bag that I usually stock in my home for my nutritional needs. However, undettered, I chopped up my apples, opened the time capsule and removed the stuffing inside (which is such a waste, straw or plystyrene wotsits would do the job just as well), and stored my apples. After a 3 month stint on the North Sea, enduring tempestuous weather and hard graft, I came home, excited for some apple nutrition, only to find they had moulded. Didn't work at all. Hardly worth the 250.

For $49, I expected a much more substantial product. I contacted NGS for a spare part (foot plate) which is EASILY dislodged, and they directed me to Tundra, which does not exist. All sites referred me back to NGS. I call FOUL.

I used to spot animal and photograph them, but the resolution is not great as the more expensive model. So I returned and I will save money to buy a FLIR Scout III.

I used this on a 3 month backpacking trip with the Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus battery pack as my sole source of power for cell phone, camera, headlamp and gps. It does work. However, I also just bought the Nomad 13 and I don't know why I would have been so stupid after my experience with the Nomad 7. The attachment loops are held in place with a small amount of adhesive and cannot support the weight of the panel, 2 of them pulled out shortly into my hike. On my new Nomad 13 3 pulled out the first hike I took them on. The Nomad 7 and 13 are constructed the same way, they both suffer from this fatal design flaw. It is misleading to show the panel attached to anything on Goal Zero's website because the panels are simply not designed to be attached to anything. The panel weighs .8 pounds and I have it attached at 4 points, it is not very much weight for each attachment point to support.

This drive held only my OS & nVidia drivers since apparently there is no way to get nVidia to install anywhere else. I stored everything else on a separate hard drive. I guess the incessant Windows & nVidia updates wore it down. They certainly wear me down.

Skips too many metric sizes to be useful for me.  Better off buying a metric kit or individual pieces from a local shop.  YMMV.

Something made by HP and reviews seem OK. I had a China dash cam I got off Amazon last year for $50 with a little LCD display and it was ok. Did not have GPS, well anyway the heat FUBAR'd it. I am in South Florida, so heat/humity....anyway I got this one.....well......
I thought good.....something that would work good, with GPS too. Price for my second one was going to be more, so this cost me $179/Amazon and I got the 2 year Squaretrade warranty. Figured if it screwed up, they will replace it.
NOW, today, Sunday 01/26/2014 I put it in my truck (a 2011 F150 2WD 3.7L V6 SuperCrew) and went to the store. I figured I would look at the video when I got back home BUT I had already downloaded a view for Windows from a Russian guy that works on Windows. (The program that comes with this camcorder SUCKS, does NOT WORK. PERIOD. I have a iMac but can dual-boot into WIndows 7 Ultimate that is up-to-date. And the program, "SuperCar" from HP just sucks. Doesn't Work..figured that out yesterday and looked and looked for a Mac program but none are there BUT this one from Russian (in English) works with Google maps,Yahoo, all of them including Nokia{go figure})
Anyway NOW to the V-I-D-Ooooo.........IT SUCKS JUST AS BAD!!
The camera BOUNCES ALL OVER THE PLACE. Who cares if it is 1080p HD.....IF IT BOUNCES ALL OVER THE PLACE WHO CAN WATCH IT?
All the other video shots you would see on youtube came from Russia/Europe and it 'appears' like they either have it stuck to the dash itself or superglued the whole thing together to make it "less" shake....don't know, don't care.
I am in AMERICA, and I have a low tolerance for bulls--t and it seems like I got suckered into spending $179 or something that honestly, may be worth $75-$100 bucks, but not $150 or more.
The only thing I can say is this....WAIT FOR THE GARMIN $250 dashcam that was introduced at CES 2014. If it's Garmin, who makes GPS's then I am sure they took the window mount into consideration.
The $50 one I had was ROCK SOLID being attached to my windshield and the picture/video was like watching normal stuff....not all shake and license plates or streets unreadable.
So this I will return to Amazon. I want a full refund for it and the 2 year warranty.
It is a P-O-S for the mount....other than that if it would mount correctly and the video was stable then it would be work 4.5 stars but as of right now 1.5 but I have to give it 2, but it is only really 1.5 stars.
Buy a CHEAP ONE that works........save your money until the Garmins come out.

I wish I liked this product, but it wasn't worth the hassle of getting my dog to use it or the cost.
Pros:
App worked fine
Easy to connect to wifi

Cons:
Takes up a LOT of floor space!
Really crummy camera and weird angle
Dog preferred her bowl
Cleaning is annoying - you must take out the entire wheel, and since it's extremely important that it dries all the way before putting it back in, I was nervous that I was going to break it one day when I missed drying a spot.  For that reason, it was impossible to use with wet food.  For almost $200, why isn't there one tray filled with individual bowls you can remove and clean separately?

I returned the product after about a week of use - luckily that was easy.

If you need to give your pet timed meals, please consider just buying a $20 meal dispenser and using an old smartphone or tablet as your camera (there are plenty of free apps that will do this for you, ex. Presence), which will give you a much better quality image.

I wanted some good flashcards that would kick-start my Russian studies. How disappointing! I should have taken the advice of other reviewers. (1) The vocab isn't arranged in any logical order  (2) The 'audio' component is AWFUL - accent isn't authentic and the audio speed is ridiculously fast. I have a Kindle Touch and couldn't find any way to slow it down. It's like an auctioneer speed read! (3) a lot of the 'pictures' didn't appear on my Kindle either. (4) If you are just a beginner to learning Russian, then 101 words is not enough. There are other better options out there I'm sure. In the end, I just used my normal word processing unit to make my own flashcards as pdf and uploaded to Kindle documents section. It works very well and the bonus is you get to learn the vocab as you create your own flashcards :)

When I saw this I realised I had made a terrible, terrible mistake. Over the last decade I've wasted almost exactly the same amount of money seeing all the penguins species of the world. Across to antarctica twice, galapagos, sub-antarctic New Zealand, South Africa, when you tot it all up.. I could have bought this tv set instead. I wouldn't even have had to sort the colour out, as penguins and ice are just black and white. I feel such a fool.

My fault for not reading the fine print BUT it is absurdly idiotic for Garmin to consider Alaska part of Canada and add insult to injury by forcing ignorant buyers like me to then pay a $60 ransom to get Alaska.

Linux users should investigate competitors as there is no support for Linux and the winblows install and upgrade is unnecessarily onerous and assumes you're going to always be doing updates from the same machine.  I went through the same nonsense with Garmins' heart rate/pedometer products and will look EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE else before buying anything from Garmin.

I regret buying this cooler. I think I paid WAY too much. My Coleman works as well for 1/4 the price. Even my Styrofoam cooler. (You can by a LOT of ice for $300, even dry-ice). I recommend the good old light-weight polystyrene beer cooler. It's just not worth it.
