Good Quality, some features good in theory, bad in practice.

I really wanted to love this Jacket, but I have a couple gripes.

1. The velcro in the breast pockets catch the inner material and make it hard for them to close. Not a huge deal, but I suspect that it will get worse as I wear it more.

2. Fit is large for a 4xl. I probably could have gotten a 3x and still been large. I specifically bought it to layer, so not too big of a deal, as I can fit two shirts and a hooded sweatshirt under it and still have room.

3. The pull tabs in the pockets to cinch the bottom is a nice touch, however, I can't put my keys in those pockets as I have snagged them a few times and it makes the keys difficult to get out, especially with gloves on.

4. Finally, the zipper for the concealment panel seems a little stiff. Might just need to be broken in, and I intend on practicing with it, but I found it faster to just lift the jacket over my firearm.

Aside from those things, the jacket is well made and should hold up well to the abuse I'll put it through. Quality seems very high. I really like the design of the inside pockets.

So it's a lot for the money, and that's good.  BUT, many of the pieces in here are poorly designed.  Many of the mounts aren't the right size.  It doesn't make them usable, but you have to muscle them together before you insert the screw.  Someone didn't measure twice when designing this stuff.  Anyways, I doubt there's anything better for the price.  The straps and harnesses are good quality.  The windshield mount was retarded.  I have to use two adapters and film upside down to film out the vehicle.  More so designed for filming the driver I guess, but that's probably because it's clearly a generic mount that's probably used for holding cellphones most of the time.  So overall a hodgepodge of generic stuff with a few quality pieces through in.

Overall, this is a very cool concept for a camera. It has a very nice little touchscreen that provides connected functionality that you just don't find on other cameras. It's great to connect it to Wifi and then be able to backup the pictures to a computer or post images directly to social media. It definitely has faster shutter speed and higher picture quality compared to an iPhone or Android Phone.

The only really bad thing about it is the build quality. After owning this camera for three days, the lens cover that is supposed to automatically open and close started getting stuck in the closed position. The cover itself is the thinnest possible metal (almost like a piece of foil) and isn't sturdy at all. It seems like a little thing, but it completely destroys the experience. It's no fun to prepare to take a picture, only to discover that you can't because the lens cover is jammed again.

We ended up sending this back to Amazon after a week of ownership. Overall the concept is still amazing, and if they used better materials, it could be a really great camera. Too bad they decided to cut corners on build quality.

The concept is good, but if you think you will be completely free of cords, think again. The video camera part needs to stay plugged in to an outlet.

CONS:
1) Appears to get "out of range" in a rather short distance of 25 feet or so. When I was upstairs, testing it with a family member who was downstairs and down the 20-foot hallway, the sound often broke up. It would cut out the first second or two of what they said, even though the family member was holding down the talk button for a second before speaking.

2) Sound doesn't work when you move the camera remotely.  That's right- you can be carrying on a conversation (or trying to, given that , but the moment you move the camera with the controls in order to view things at a different angle, the sound cuts out completely.

3)Video camera requires an outlet for electricity.

4) display is not nearly as colorful as the box would have you think. It's practically a black and white picture you see, with slight hints of color noticeable now and then.

5) Requires a micro SD card if you want to record any video. This particular one did not come with the card included.

6) Checking it from a remote location via Skype is smart, but the hoops you have to jump through to make that possible are rather extensive. The computer has to be on at home, with the software disk in it, and I think the program has to be running also. You will also need a wireless router if you don't already have wi-fi in your home.

PROS:
1)The camera is very maneuverable, and has a good wide-angle lens. Range of motion for the camera is about 120 degrees up and down, maybe 240 degrees left to right.

2)The picture quality is pretty good for a remote camera (if you don't mind it being nearly colorless.) I would "guestimate" it at about the same resolution as a 3 megapixel camera.

It could be marketed for SO many other things other than just a baby monitor.  It's an in-home intercom (as long as you aren't too far away from each other.) It could work as a security camera, but you would need to buy the outdoor model.  With SKYPE, you can check in on the camera while away from home- BUT you have to have your computer turned on, the software disk in it and the camera turned on of course to accomplish that.  Still it would be neat to check in on the pets or the kids when away.

The Good:

Sturdy Build Quality -- Stiching appears tight, Fabric is heavy Denier Nylon.
Rubber Lining on Leg Straps to mitigate holster play while on the move.
Multi-purpose/situational, fits all sorts of pistol sizes from compact to full size, and can be applied to new shooter/person w/out holster.
Pricing

The Bad:

Belt-loop attachment point is short, and hardly lengthens, which makes it difficult if you're tall (in my experience).
The clips are made of plastic, not metal, which is more likely to break.
Nylon Fabric is too-heavy in some areas, and the Holster system as a whole is quite heavy.
Pistol Retention Snap is clumsy, but that's more design than quality.

Probably would look elsewhere instead of purchasing again.

I wanted to like this camera. I liked the user interface -- all buttons, and easy to remember which button does what. Good quality stills and video in the daylight and underwater. Good sound. Some minor issues include taking too long to focus, the zoom is digital and unusable, it's hard to get the microSD out of the recessed slot, and you need a USB extension cord because the USB plug is too short.

I went snorkeling with it once, and flooded it. I'll accept that it's my fault, but for my uses the unit is too fragile. I don't know whether I dove too deep for its 16-foot limit or the accidental opening of one of its two doors totally flooded it, but salt water instantly killed the W300 the first time out. (I have a full explanation of what happened on YouTube, so search YouTube for "philip samsung W300" and you'll find a longer video with samples of the stills and video.) It works well during the day, not so well at night.

If you are going to use it in an environment where it's subject to weather and splashing, it's an acceptable unit. But if you're taking into the pool or ocean where it's subject to being knocked around, the latches on the two doors are not sufficiently robust to keep the doors water tight.

I spent a lot of money on this and it has a lot of flaws, but it also has some great features.

Like:
* Every one of my devices I have it knows about, and has detailed configurations for
* It has a nice "programming" interface that almost anyone can use.  You drag and drop actions into a sequence for each of your desired functions like "Watch TV"
* It has long battery life and is rechargable
* It wakes up when it detects it's been picked up

Dislike:
* Programming interface forces you to start with a base set of commands for some actions and you cannot add pauses between them.  My devices need pauses so I had to do some wonky workarounds to get the devices sequences to work as required.
* It assumes you are always starting from a specific state: e.g. all devices are powered off.  If one of your devices is on, then when it sends the power signal the device turns off instead of on, and then you are in a funky state and you have to send your devices a command to power everything off, manually toggle that one device and then start all over again.
* DON'T change the settings of a device without using the Harmony remote or again you will get into a wonky state and it gets confused, because it only knows the last state it told each device to be in.
* I know how to work around these idiosyncrasies, but it confuses anyone else trying to use it and frustrates the daylights out of my wife.

Overall, the sound quality is very good! The maximum sound volume is a little on the low side.

FM is great and FM recording works quite well.

But as I said in the title, the voice recording feature is quite poor - for two reasons. First - the voice recording parameters are set too low, presumably to save space. Second - the mic is of poor quality and does not pick up too well sound from even slightly distant sources. Sort of spoils it for me; I bought it to record lectures.

The armband is really neat, works well.

Battery life seems to be pretty good, as advertised.

Positive: Video quality is good on both cameras. It turns on and off automatically when it should. The controls and menus are intuitive and easy to use. Overall it works well.
Negative: The lane keeping assist and collision warning features are worse than useless. They frequently beep even when my care is in the exact center of a well marked lane or stopped at an intersection. I turned those off after a couple trips. The GPS receiver really should be integrated directly into the camera body instead of an add-on accessory; it connects with an extra cable which looks ugly and takes more space. There's no Bluetooth which is included even in some cheaper models.

My husband is thrilled with the distance at which the handsets work, but I have many problems with the base: echoing, problems with numbers keyed not being recognized for answering questions in automated systems (press 1 for...), etc. I tested many of the advanced features and they all seem to work well, but some basic features (like naming the handsets) are either non-existent or (paging) too much trouble to use.

Additionally, something about the technology in the handsets is identical to that of GSM cell phones and cause horrible feedback when they get near hearing aids. Now with half a dozen handsets and a lots of money invested in this system it appears I'll be shopping phones again. Ug!

Sound quality is not always great (very inconsistent for some reason).  Other wise, there are lots of features for the money.  In the end, I was expecting better.

Has a very good sound, but isn't as good as it could be. Here's why:

** Doesn't fit over my glasses. If I want to wear these headphones, I will most likely wear my glasses out.
** The earpieces are uncomfortable and slightly painful after only a couple minutes of wear, but only if not in a decent position.
** The manual states "If you feel the shaking of the headset, we recommend using silicone tension band," but no such thing was included (the preinstalled one is not in the right spot and is not adjustable or removable, so they couldn't possibly mean that)...which is a problem because it's incredibly difficult (if not impossible) to find the tension bands by themselves.
** Fits relatively low on my head, so I can't easily look up with it on. When I look down, the whole thing tries to move further down, unless I'm wearing a ponytail to keep it from doing so.
** The manual and a sticker on the device have two different instructions for pairing via bluetooth, and both are wrong.
** The mic is not the greatest. It's useable, just not as good as the mic on, say, a phone.
** It took me three hours to find a perfectly comfortable position for these headphones.

Some tips on wearing and using this thing:

1. If you need glasses, get glasses with thin earpieces.
2. Wear a ponytail to keep this thing from trying to slide down while you walk/run. If your hair's not long enough, use a backwards hat.
3. You will never get these to sit and/or stay in the right position unless your head is long and wide.
4. To pair via bluetooth,the manual says to hold the power button for two seconds, and a sticker on the device says to hold the power button for five seconds. The real way to do so is to hold the power button until the device is paired.
5. To turn the device off and on, hold the power button until you hear the thing make a little jingle.
6. That big play button does nothing with most PC apps.

The concept itself is excellent and is a great alternative for solving several needs that some customers may have. I think my product is defective and that's why it's not working but I think this chinese company needs to invest more in quality and making sure the product works fine. Bluetooth disconnects very often from my phone, though when I was able to have a stable connection, calls worked flawlessly and music played well. The device got disconnected because apparently it couldn't sync all of my address book contacts (which are over 400). The FM transmitter didn't work on my unit. I tried with almost every possible station and I could only hear static (barely heard music when playing it). Android works fairly ok and apps are fast to load. The DVR options work really well and video quality is good. My product will self reboot at times and the buttons and screen kind of flickered (I tried with 2 different power inputs and it happened with both). During daylight, driver can't really see because of reflection but copilot has good viewing angle. Despite all of these, if the product was manufactured with better quality, this would be a must purchase for vehicles without an advanced car stereo system.

Works ok because none of the dash cams in the market is perfect. This one has been rated positively by most reviewers and constantly ranks top 3. Certain things are not very reliable - the wifi on/off button does not work properly from time to time;cloud did not work at first but somehow worked later;need some patience for data transfer over wifi as it could be really slow; the unit gets very very hot; the cable came with will not be long enough for full size SUV; the rear camera is not full HD but blackvue is now offering a new model with that feature.
One major defect is the micro SD card slot. There is a very high chance of getting the card stuck inside due to poor design and workmanship even if you insert the card gently. I have tried on 2 units and both have the same issue. Instead of using a sharp tool like needle pliers to retrieve by pulling and risk damaging the plastic or the card itself,  you can actually push the tab on the side of top housing by using a small plastic pick or screw driver if you are careful enough. Once the tab has been pushed in, yank out the top housing and the internal components are exposed, including the card slot. Now you can easily take out the card. The problem is that the same getting stuck issue will happen almost every time because the slot is no good.
The plastic is not of top grade strength so the tab itself could be bent or damaged during this process.
So far, this model still offers overall good value and strong useful functions. I hope these bugs could be fixed and build quality could be improved.

The Good:
* Price
* Works with the auto on/off features
* Cutouts for speakers, camera, switches, etc.

The Bad:
* Fit is marginal (the rear microphone is partially obscured)
* Construction is marginal at best

Camera has a good picture, but it would not move up/down more than a few degrees. I think it was assembled in reverse and then forced back under the mounting bracket (there was a lot of grease all over the camera housing). I was able to move it back through to the other side, but now the picture has to be flipped 180 degrees or everything is upside down. The other problem is that there is a rotation stop right in the middle of the front logo, so you have to face the power and network connections forward if you want the rotation stop at the back of whatever you are viewing with the camera but now you see all the cables. The PTZ controls work well enough with the local network app, and the mic/speaker do work very well with plenty of range and volume.

Another downside is that there are two different apps for viewing on the local network and remotely via their cloud service. One app for both would be much more convenient, even if it was a separate section of the app for "internet viewing".  I have yet to find if audio works through the Amcrest Cloud application or if that is even an option since the Cloud setup information is extremely limited.

Overall I would have given this 2 stars, but the deal price was super low and the picture quality is excellent. Add on the PTZ feature and it gets 3 stars for being "Good". With better apps, better documentation, and the assembly issues resolved, this could be 4 or 5 stars.

I've put lots of hours on mine. Took it riding on the bike and on vacation. Handy size, good battery life, easy to use, reliable.

Here are a few things I have learned after a few hours of shooting and reviewing.
1. camera shake makes bad video, always pan smoothly and EXTREMELY SLOWLY.
2. the digital zoom ruins images, never never use the zoom for stills or video.
3. it's way too easy to put your fingers in front of the lens. Learn a safe way to hold the camera to avoid the finger.
4. sound. The sound quality is poor, especially when the mics are really close to where your fingers will be.
5. try to shoot when there are staggered distances of things near the camera
6. the software only runs on a PC, not mac. I have done simple edits with Quicktime pro on a mac. Do not add titles to your final video, it ruins the 3D and confuses the 3D TV.
7. this camera will not play videos from other sources, placed onto your SD card and inserted into the camera.
8. Low light = poor grainy video. This camera is intended for daylight use or well lit interiors.
9. not suited for sports events - too much panning action and the use of zoom ruins the video.
10. the output video is in SBS (side by side) mode which is compatible with modern 3D TVs.
11. you can upload the SBS video files to youtube, add the proper code to the tag line, and YT will translate into anaglyph for you thus preserving the video quality. Using the included software to convert to anaglyph ruins the video quality.
12. the camera can charge from about any USB port (kindle charger, computer port, ipad charger, etc.)
13. it's small enough and weird looking enough that many people don't realize they are being recorded by this device.
14. in the end, i have been rather pleased by the usability of this video cam, and the stills are decent too. The video quality is acceptable, but not very impressive. Search on youtube for "phoenix botanical gardens 3D" if you want to see a sample.
15. in sunlight the LCD screen is pretty much unusable.

If I could suggest some changes to the camera, I would add a ridge to the battery compartment door to help you grasp the camera and keep your fingers out of the lens area. I would add the ability to shut off recording audio from the menu feature since it mostly picks up sound of your hand grasping the camera. Make a version of the software for the ipad/ipod. Bring the lens glass out to the level of the case so those recesses don't remain lint collecting belly buttons. Remove the start-up/shut down sounds which blows your cover if shooting discretely and actually serve no purpose.

After nearly a year of use I retired this camera in favor of the Fuji W3 camera instead. The picture quality is much much better, although saving and editing was easier with this camera since I live in an Apple dominated household.
