Opteka CS-300B Digital SLR Full Camera System Cyber Backpack (Black) Review


This is a very large camera backpack. I was able to get my Digital SLR with 2 extra lenses, large external flash attachment and a 15 inch laptop. I also added extra batteries, a charger and two lens hoods. The backpack comes with several dividers that you can arrange to custom fit your camera equipment. It is well protected from the elements with flaps over the zippers to keep out rain. This is a heavy backpack due to its size and padding, but I believe it is worth the extra weight to get the protection that I have for my camera equipment.

Antennas Direct CLEARSTREAM4 Antenna Review


We live, between two sets of television towers. One set is 20 miles to the north, the other is 60 miles to the south. To make things worse, we are also surrounded by low hills. This has made it difficult to recive television and radio signals. We rent, and are not allowed to have a mast antenna, which our location requires. After testing several other antennas, we discovered the Clearstream. Due to our rental restrictions we have to somewhat hide the antenna behind wood fences. It still works great. We aim the front of the antenna at the towers 60 miles away from us, and the back faces the towers which are closer. Except for one low power UHF station, we get great reception without having to physically rotate the antenna. If we want to watch the low power station, all we have to do is rotate the antenna towards it.

SVAT GX5203 Wireless Portable Video Security System – 2.5-Inch LCD & Outdoor Night Vision Surveillance Camera Review


I purchased this product after I read reviews here. The camera and monitor work well with AC adopters rather than batteries.
I put front of entrance and inside of my house to see outside of my front yard.
Last year neighbors had three thieves I decided to put three cameras.
I am thinking another one to outside of garage.
Yesterday I tested with 9v batteries for cameras and AAA batteries for monitor.
It was working for a few hours but it lost views.
I adjusted contrast and color but it did not change.
I replaced batteries to AC adopters and all got views again.
I am using extension cords to cameras.
Night visions are really good to see outside and people's faces.
I recommended this camera with monitor at my private blog, because it is so easy to set up , foreigners can do this.
