Hi I have been looking for a selfie stick with remote and bluetooth, and then I saw this one from wallmart. This accessory is on sale and I would love to buy this one however I have read negative feedbacks from other forums about selfie stick. I haven't read any bad reviews about the maker of this selfie stick pro but I still want to make sure that I am buying something that is durable and of great quality.
I am thinking about buying this one next week but before that, I want first to gather opinions and suggestions from other users. I would really appreciate any recommendations I could get from you guys.
Here's the name of the product by the way - Minisuit Selfie Stick Pro with Built-In Remote on Handle for GoPro, Apple & Android Phones.
Thank you so much!!

Looking for some advice on shooting video. I've been considering purchasing an inexpensive video camera for taking family videos of my son.
I like the price point of the Sony HDR-CX series but the professional reviews seem pretty negative. Other than an optical zoom would I get just as good results using my Gnex to shoot the video? I know there is a 1080 setting.
I also see the Hero2 and Contour ROAM2 seem very popular. I like the waterproof aspect but without any optical zoom would I really be gaining anything over my Gnex?
I wouldn't consider shooting videos using smartphones... personally I'm using Sony HDR CX130, purchased a couple years back and it's suited my need for family videos... with HD super clear, great at low light and stabilization while moving... Never regretted the purchase
But I think there's a couple of new model right now and must be with a lot of improvement... so do your research before grabbing one... But if you want the all in one solution maybe you can consider using your smartphones, but for me the dedicated video cameras will always be the best for that... at least I don't need to worry to get a phone call while in a middle of recording the moment
Hello all,
I have became curious about this technology and wanted some feedback and recommendations on which one is best for our phone, my main use will probably be, movies and a little of gaming.
Thanks...:good:
Howdy,
I bought a cheap 20 Euro VR headset and also the Homido VR headset which cost me 80 euro and I ended up selling the Homido! simply because the screen is placed way to close and it's horribly pixilated which I was soooo disappointed about :crying:

Go for something like this, not much pixelation and cheap to buy :good:
The Homido VR did have better FOV and overall was of better 3D quality due to it having nice Optics for it. I would go for something like I showed you but find something with good lenses for an overall better 3D experience ^^
Thanks for the suggestion.
I made the Google Cardboard one to see if I would like it before I invest in it and I loved it so I will be buying a more advanced pair. I saw some on Ebay that had bluetooth remote for $28 free shipping

I got a cardboard V2 and it works very well
I picked up the View-Master goggles (like Cardboard v2 but plastic construction) when they were on sale for $20 a week (or so) ago. I'm using them with my Zenfone 2 with good results.
A couple thoughts though:
- I'd recommend Bluetooth headphones with this - the headphone cord will be pinched by the closure if you are using wired. You can also hear the built-in speakers through gaps in the case, but you lose stereo effects.
- It is a bit heavy on the nose - I find it is more comfortable pushed up higher on my face.
- They are really cool & I do recommend them.
I went through (and discarded) a few movie apps before settling on "VRTV free". Some of the others had more difficult controls and didn't seem to get the spacing right for the 3D effect (very obvious on text where it was "double vision" instead of 3D). VRTV has a virtual theater mode for 2d movies and then 180 & 360 modes for 3d files. It also has a "re-center" command which is important since I am getting some gyro drift (in fact I came here looking for some sort of calibration app).
Long story short I wanna buy a tripod for my HTC 10 and maybe use it with a DSLR that I m going to buy later this year. Any suggestions?
I bought this adapter: https://www.teknikmagasinet.se/till...nBr_9vmvRkgNdqJycjY6yYwBLXX30l54lIaAoL48P8HAQ
And now I can use the phone with any regular camera tripod.
I personally have the Gorillapod Hybrid from Joby along with the same "adapter" as @ro_explorer is using. Works great, can fully recommend both of those products.
But if you wish to use a full blown DSLR on it as well, you'd probably want a beefier Gorillapod, maybe the SLR Zoom or even the Focus.
The Hybrid one can support 1kg of weight where as the big boys can do 3kg and 5kg respectively.
Here's a nice flow chart of the different models they have available
Joby also has their own smartphone adapter, the Griptight and Griptight Pro. The Griptight isn't anything to write home about (about same as the one I have) but the Pro one looks much better.
If you end up buying a Gorillapod, I'd recommend you to buy another one of those quick release adapters so you can have one quick release adapter on the smartphone adapter and another one attached to your DSLR.
And do make sure you buy a Gorillapod which has the ballhead, makes lining up your shots so, so much easier. Hybrid has an integrated ballhead where as for the SLR Zoom and Focus they are optional.
Coming from the M8 & M9, one thing I really miss is the IR blaster which I loved to use. After a while of searching, I found some attachable to the 3.5 mm headphone jack but most of them had bad reviews and were like hit or miss, sometimes not working at all on some devices. After a while of searching I found two with very few reviews but positive overall:

https://www.amazon.com/M-Way-Universal-Appliances-Controller-Dust-proof/dp/B01HGNFRKG
However the companion apps look pretty ugly and not even well translated and I don't know if these could be detected by a better app like AnyMote. Have you guys bothered on looking for something like this? Any suggestions on these or better ones? I just need it as a remote for some TVs
There are many posts but no real examples and feedback after purchases... Can please someone post stock vs Moment samples and share experience is this worth to spend money for case lens etc.?
What I have understood that this lens trend is downhill at moment and new cameras are making them obsolete.
I'd be curious to see some comparison photos as well. But this isn't because I'm interested in purchasing one (and I don't feel that many folks here are/were interested in purchasing them either). But I would be interested because after a 'Moment' (ahaha) of googling these things to see what they even were, I discovered that the setup would cost around $200!!! Yikes!
I feel like a case and camera lens that costs 1/4 - 1/5 of the phone's launch price better allow the user to take some dang good photos for it to be worth it, haha. So, if anyone took the dive, please share some comparison photos if you can! I'm curious to see the difference - because at that price the difference better be significant!
Thanks in advance!
I bought a slighly cheaper but "good" lens and it was terrible cant remember the brand but its one of the better brands with good reviews. Was 60dollar on sale and it was 59 dollar to much. Maybe moment lenses work on certain phones where its perfectly adjusted to the lens on the camera but i would avoid without testing first.
Phone picturres "aren't bad", but since I had a lot of money tied up in my d-slr over the decades, I'll stick with that. The best camera, is the one you have with you, but, if I purposely want to take photos of something, I just grab my camera backpack.
