Video Sample, recorded using an LG G7 in manual video recording mode and no stabilization enabled.
My two cents about the product:
The product itself does feel solid with a metal construction and no plastic parts at all, but the actual product, as a gimbal, is not impressive, unfortunately. Sure, the result is better compared to a video recorded using the built-in stabilization that a smartphone can offer, but I was expecting something more. I won't even show the app that is provided with this gimbal because it is just terrible, I highly recommend to use it just to update the firmware if they (Hohem) are going to someday (mine is still running on the firmware that came pre-installed).
What I really liked about this gimbal is the possibility to charge the device using the built-in battery (basically a power-bank in your hands) but, in the same time, I can't recommend to use it since charging a smartphone while recording a video (or while doing any kind of heavy operation) will cause it to overheat unless you live somewhere with a really cold weather. I would rather consider this option for an Action Camera or dedicated Camcorder as long as it fits in the holder.
In conclusion, I can't recommend this product even considering the kinda affordable price.​

No HDMI-output is a bummer

For the most part I think MS did a great job in setting high-quality standards for their first gen phones and I'm very satisfied with my Focus. But the greedy power-nerd in me wishes the phones came with HDMI-output.
I'm a little confused as to why MS would leave this out actually. It is coming standard on a lot of high-end phones now. Unless they plan to use the Xbox 360 as an AirPlay-like streaming box (I don't know if you can do that as of now because I don't own one), how does MS expect to offer a competing video out feature?
I remember hearing a story about how MS was planning to introduce a USB-out feature and if they do that would be great because it would be cheaper than the ripoff third party HDMI docks. But I'm worried it won't be able to match up to HDMI's quality.
Anyway, I know this isn't a big deal and it shouldn't be at the top of the fixes/additions list for MS. But can you blame a guy who recently got a 50-inch? I want to use the damn thing for something besides football!
EDIT: I found the PocketNow article about USB A/V out. http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/report-microsoft-bringing-microusb-a-v-out-to-windows-phone-7
they miss a standard IO port for using external addons hardware too

More information
good concept if a bit ugly. The sample photos dont exactly sell it for me. Looks like your heavily sacrificing quality for range
You can get vignetting effect without using vignette
What if phone rings when using this?
Nice thought, but the photo quality looks bad.
I rather have a good quality picture than this type of photo (personnel opinion). But who knows, people might still buy them
You could just crop the picture and have the same image quality.

While in theory it's entirely possible to strap a zoom lens to a camera phone and get good results (i've seen some for iphone that work pretty well), i dont think this product achieves that.
If the photos on your adverts and website (supposedly taken by people familiar with the product and under ideal conditions) look blurry, dark and misaligned then what hope have the rest of us got. Seriously, those pictures look like they've been taken with one of those apps that degrade the image to look like a picture taken with a knackered old polaroid ffs.

A Case To Keep Your Phone Cool...

Since the dawn of the smart phone, these little power houses are crammed with more processor speeds and memory than a desktop computer.
All the while, these little hot suckers are totally dependent on 'PASSIVE' cooling.
Right now, i'm sporting a very stylish T-Mobile G2 from HTC. I use my phone for everything under the sun. I'm thinking about using it for frying my eggs for a meal, because sometimes, my little phone get so HOT while using it for navigation, and various other tasks that tax the battery and GPS, it's almost unbearable to touch.

I purchased a mobile phone holder for my bike (ON AMAZON HERE) which works EXCELLENT! Except, its not allowing my phone to breath. I like the fact it's weather proof, but at a price of a over-heated device.
I'm thinking about hacking this case, and installing a small CPU fan attached to a solar panel for power. Which I would have to drill holes in the front somewhere to allow the air to flow over my phone.
I wish someone can make a case out of heat dispersion technology found with something like what they sell here. http://thermapak.com/
Any links to another product or any ideas?

I used it! I think it very great Acessories!
I smell spam.
Yep, definitely smells like spam around here.
You are kidding, right?
There is ONE reason to use a mobile phone as a camera, and that is ... its small, and you always have it with you. No matter how good the camera in the phone is, its not as good as a real camera.
Carrying arount that gigantic piece of equipment totally screws up the idea of mobility. And every photograph that wants to make high quality photos with a zoom lens will buy a real camera for that reason anyway.
Its like buying an electric car, and because of its limited range, installing a fuel engine and a tank.

Yep, and a realy amateurish one. Posting 3 minutes apart, posters from the same country, both new members. Spammers arent what they used to be anymore.

[Version 4.0] Tronfy iwork mini 4.0 review

A bluetooth headset bought from Amazon - Tronfy iwork mini 4.0 newest version.
Here is the short video review for unboxing, which you can find its highlights like different pieces of earbuds, allow to connect with one more headset to become a common headset.
Good:
I have used it several days for listen music and receive phone call, the user experience is good. It's easy to wear and carry because its minimal size, the battery life is also long enough, the standby time is 150 hours, but I haven't to test it:dt880smile: In addition, the headset can paired with two device at the same time, there is another important point, the flash light of headset will disturb people near you in the dark environment, so the iwork optimized this function to get rid of flash light.
Shortcoming:
When you connect with another single earbud to become a common, there is a little different feel because different earbud style
