"While I cannot speak for the configurations of other users, I can confirm the following: Using this cable on a Samsung KS8500, I can confirm that this cable supports: UHD 4K HDR Content. 4K 30Hz 4:4:4. 4K 60Hz 4:4:4. I am attaching a picture of the chroma test as well."
"Please do not waste your hard earned money on overpriced HDMI cables in the name of picture or sound improvements.

Reviews
"When I got my drone, it flew itself into a wall within the first couple minutes of flying (because I didn't know I had to calibrate the gyro (what I talked about above)) and one of the motors got all screwy. I wrote them with hopes that they would maybe send a new motor to replace that one, and they wrote back in a few hours saying "We'll send you a new drone."
"I was surprised to get a call on a Friday night at 7pm from a local number in La Puente, CA (626) 465-7134. He states he will be happy to send me a new drone and transmitter, if I could "help him out" by filling out more reviews. Then, he states he will email me a link to the Holy Stone company website, where I can post a review about his excellent customer service. I emailed him back, b/c all the links he sent me were to Amazon's website, none to Holy Stone's. I told him I revised my original 4 star Amazon rating to a 5, based on customer service thus far. He said he thought we agreed that if I posted excellent reviews, then he would ask his "finance" dept to send me a new drone and transmitter. Honestly, even if he does send me a new drone in good faith --> I am revising my review to 1 star based on the fact that the product stopped working after 10 minutes in normal flying conditions, and because the customer service, while promptly responsive, was geared solely on getting as many 5 star reviews for their products, regardless of whether they were bonafide, genuine, ethical reviews or not."
"Minor things to note would be 1) winds do disturb this little guy, but it is that - little and light weight - so not a real surprise. One could argue that the commoditization of gyros and brushless motors would lead an intuitive economist to expect prices to drop to the levels of this toy, but that same person could argue that with the commoditization and the increasing demand for these products, that performance would be employed as a differentiation strategy...but I digress. I'm not sure where to go with this experience for my own benefit (attempt to return it to Amazon, hope that the manufacturer takes note, etc). But I feel it is my responsibility to notify you, the readers of this product review, of this issue - and hope that you pay attention while charging, lest you discover a small incredibly brilliant fireball alight where you tiny LIPO battery once sat."

"In daylight, a GoPro with protune is actually surprisingly comparable to a dSLR (I do aerial cinematography for film sets). But if you already own a version of the 3, and just film things for fun....save your money for adventures :). ==TWO==. If you do decide to upgrade (or this is your first GoPro), you have three good options BESIDES the Black: The $130 barebones HERO: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NIYNUXO/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00NIYNUXO&linkCode=as2&tag=todmedblo-20&linkId=6RGQWHRXFRZSLFPY. The $300 HERO3+ Silver: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F3F0EIU/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00F3F0EIU&linkCode=as2&tag=todmedblo-20&linkId=74K5GFVCEONUONTG. The $400 HERO4 Silver: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NIYJF6U/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00NIYJF6U&linkCode=as2&tag=todmedblo-20&linkId=UMGB6UAI466WOP6K. The GoPro website has a huge spreadsheet comparing all their features... but here's how I think about it: If you're using the GoPro to just capture memories, save your money for the memories and get the HERO. If you /think/ you're interested in using your GoPro to make more serious footage (but don't have any experience yet), pick the version of the Silver that best suites your budget. And if you're already a heavy GoPro user (or filmmaker in general) with paying customers or past successes, get the Black. If you have a once in a lifetime trip approaching, and you have deep pockets, you might also consider the Black - but, for a lot of people, there are more meaningful things you can do with that extra money :). ==THREE==. Especially if you're filming in 4K protune, you're gonna want the fastest card you can get your hands on."
"Considering my satisfaction with the hero3, picking up a hero4 was inevitable. **UPDATE: Took off a star for questionable issue: While i haven't come across any major glitches, it does seem to hiccup here and there (my hero3 did the same), the heat that comes off it can be more than warm, but it seems others are experiencing rather hot temperatures. While not entirely reassuring, i've heard some folks have positive experiences dealing with gopro on their overheating matters. What i like about the hero 4 black: -4K at usable framerates (hero3 could only do 15fps). -Sweet 120fps slow motion at 1080. -More wireless connectivity(some hiccups, but can work). -More slowmotion. -Sharpness is satisfactory. -Lowlight is decent enough. -More manual control. What's not to like? Yea, it's odd and i would have much preferred the flagship get the screen, that being said, i've gotten along very well with my screen-less hero 3, because i have a cautious understanding of the angles it can capture at narrow/medium/wide settings. heat wears electronics down, reducing their life, if this thing's average temperature is 130degrees, how long will it live? The 4k from the hero4 looks pretty satisfying, maybe not as sharp as bigger/professional cameras, but this is a tiny actioncamera, and i don't see it reasonable to hold it to quite the same standards. Bitrate: 4k gives you up to 60mpbs, which may sound low, but other more expensive cameras use a similar setup and get nice results, and the gopro does pretty well here as well."
"I travel allot and do crazy adventures and having this go pro has been great to help me video tape these moments I wouldn't be able to with my iPhone or video camera."

Reviews
"I bought the Roxant Video Stabilizer out of curiosity, more than anything else, to understand how it works."
"The only two pieces of plastic on the unit are two non-critical plastic tension screws that could be replaced with a 5-cent wingnut if they were to ever break or get lost. I eventually found the sweet spot for my counterweights and repositioned the handle to the front position. I see so many people on Youtube who would vastly improve their videos if they would start using a stabilizer. You won't be able to do that with a larger stabilizer because a lot of the units extend 2-3 feet below the camera. This stabilizer is considerably lighter than my Opteka unit that kills my arm after using it for 5 minutes, not to mention the Roxant costs 1/3 the price and works equally as well."
"The company emailed me to let me know they have an online video tutorial on how to balance the rig (which is a great video) and to make sure I was happy with my purchase."
"The Steadytracker was too heavy and too big(i would bump the legs into the wall or furniture or even my own legs on low shots) and it was extremely hard to get gimbal type of smoothness. However, using the steadytracker did teach me how to move with a stabilizer so I was very happy to see how smooth my shots are using the Roxant. I will say even though it's not perfectly balanced on my G7, I am still getting smoother shots with it than I did with my Canon on the steadytracker."

Reviews
"Short Review: If you are in the market for some accessories for your new GoPro, don't hesitate to buy this product! I am brand new to the GoPro, and I, like many others I'm sure, was overwhelmed by the number of kits on Amazon. I was growing tired and on the verge of giving up on the "perfect" kit when I discovered LifeLimit. It's professional enough that I would take it out in public but also cheap enough that I won't be sad if I leave it somewhere one day. I opened it up to find the parts seperated into Ziploc bags, nice touch. The suction cup mount is really strong and will make for some great shots in "awkward" places like your windshield or elsewhere. The miscellaneous pieces including screws, mounts, and adhesive pads all work. It is sturdy enough that I'll use it and trust it with my GoPro, but I won't be holding it off the edge of the Empire State Building. It does have a strap that you can put around your wrist for added safety, which is a nice touch."
"I usually use the camera mount that came with the camera, and attach it to one of these object mounts."
"Suction cup plastic build arms are a bit cheap in feel and build as well as the tightening screws and nuts don't seem to snug secure like the OEM. Other than that, the rest of the pieces are great!"
"GoPro accessories are really expensive."
"So many options for connections and wearing options for the GoPro in this kit."
"Not the most durable (I snapped one of the mount brackets because I am a dumb oaf, but there are plenty of them so it wasn't an issue."
"The selfie stick is literally the exact same stick as the one I have for my phone."
"Ive also used a quite a few suction mounts over the time to realize that it won't last a super long time."

Reviews
"This is (was) my first drone. That said, this does fly well for a $100 drone. However one of the motors burned out after my 2nd day of use."
"After reading countless reviews in search of a quad with a camera, I settled on the Holy Stone F181 and so far, have been quite pleased with it. The initial problem I had with researching was the numerous quads with 5 star reviews were from customers who were given free items in exchange for their reviews. Many reviewers have pointed out their exceptional customer service however I didn't think I would need tech support as I am an experienced flyer. I was able to fly this higher than any other quad I own that was in the same price range. All in all, for the price this one is hard to beat for beginners and even more advanced flyers and Holy Stone customer service is outstanding!"
"revised review: after 1st time out getting some video, copter worked fine, downloaded videos and every one was apparently corrupted."
"So I wanted to get the feel of flying a drone....I read many reviews and watched many YouTube videos.....and finally decided on the Holy Stone F181 RC to practice with."

Reviews
"With the Capture app, I can pay attention to the shot on my 5" phone screen while guiding my arm. The smooth plastic, large touch screen, and heft give it a quality feel fitting to the price range. I recorded a 2-hour once-per-2-seconds timelapse on a single battery and was able to immediately wirelessly transfer it to my phone and share it. - The water-tight housing (allows it to go much deeper in water) bumps up against the record button and takes a bit of a squeeze to get it on. Verdict. - The GoPro Hero 5 Black is a great $400 action camera intended for a very specific market of videographers. Throw this tiny camera in your bag, go skiing, surfing, traveling the country, and when you're all done, put together something worth sharing. What you don't get with video quality you in return get not having to hassle with lenses, extra batteries, external chargers, equipment bags, and the like, which all get in the way of the action."
"Aside from the obvious disappointment of the camera's failure and its effect on ruining countless photo and video opportunities for me and my family, GoPro's response when I contacted them about the failure has possibly been even worse. The bottom line is that if you are planning to use your action camera in the water (as so many of us are), you should spare yourself from the flawed Hero 5 black and, even more, from GoPro's terrible service. Overall, my disappointment in the failure of the camera remains and my disappointment in GoPro as a company has grown. Since I have invested in GoPro mounts and accessories, I will continue using this camera until it fails (again), but I will look elsewhere for future action camera needs and will not patronize GoPro in the future. Moreover, I would recommend *against* any of GoPro's add-ons like GoPro Care or GoPro Plus since the company clearly sees them as nothing more than a revenue enhancement and does not actually follow-through on the coverage."

Best Professional Video Microphones

Rode VMGO Video Mic GO Lightweight On-Camera Microphone Super-Cardioid
style: VideoMic GO. High quality directional microphone.
Reviews
"All in all, a great device to capture better audio for Instagram, Snapchat or Facebook live, not to mention just recording memories on you device. I totally recommend this if you're in the market to increase the audio in your videos on a budget."
"Reason for 3 stars is because the sound quality is definitely an improvement from the internal mic of the camera, but there are a lot of issues (mostly minor). The static can be minimal to completely removed using noise reduction software that comes with probably every video editing application. With WiFi enabled on the camera, the static I mentioned before passes the point of editable and the audio suffers greatly. You will most likely have to edit all audio unless you don't mind a hush crackling static sound."
"I got this as a gift for my girlfriend so that she could improve the audio quality of her videos as she likes to film using her phone."
"A great start for someone just getting into video, good sound always helps the final product."
"I invested in this bad boy for future projects and this audio is literally fantastic."
"It was ripped up and didn't feel new but when I was testing to see if it worked perfect, all I hear is me talking and a really loud static noise in the background."
"Well, as I type this I am editing a video and and losing minutes of content because I have to cut out so much of the popping noises."

Best Lighting Reflectors

Neewer 43-inch / 110cm 5-in-1 Collapsible Multi-Disc Light Reflector with Bag - Translucent, Silver, Gold, White and Black
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging. This reflector fits any standard reflector holders.
Reviews
"As one commenter helpfully pointed out, "the reflector folds up into a 16" diameter carrying case that is roughly 3.5" (but can be compressed to about one half that)". The versatility of this little reflector is excellent - you can use it for almost any situation, and I find myself switching from silver to gold to translucent within the same shoot, because we all know that changing an angle outdoors can completely change your lighting! OVERALL. Would I buy this again? Out of all of my photog friends, not one can pick this out as a budget reflector, and several have been converted. You can either order from Papa John's this week or get an excellent Reflector...your choice."
"This reflector worked great on my senior photo shoots!"
"I am outdoor photographer and these shades are perfect to help me on a sunny day, they work brilliant under bright sun, i never thought as this could actually make my life this easy. The material is really fine and the stitching is very neat, it has a small bag in which the 45" frame can be folded and kept, the wires around are very flexible can be twisted making it small in size and easy to carry, very rough and tough, i have travelled with it to my photoshoots and each time i open it , use it in sand, muds and otherwise leave it down on the mud, i have to just dust it and its as good as new. You can easily switch from gold, to sliver to translucent as you need it and its right there handy for you. Its definitely a steel deal for the money the quality is impeccable and i intend to recommend it to my photographer friends around. Rare to get such good performing light reflector of such fine material at such low cost! Cons: Honestly non for now i could find and share as quality and performance wise this is beyond my expectations, my photos are really coming out very good i am happy with it."
"To put it away into it's pouch, just hold opposite sides in both hands and twist one hand in one direction, the other hand in the other."
"Unzipping/zipping can take a minute or two, but you just need to be patient .... except when you are quickly trying to get that perfect shot and realize you need a different reflector."
"It is very thick and sturdy and it is super easy to fold and put back in the case for small storage."

And as the highest resolution any 4K TV currently on the market can produce is 3840 x 2160 at 30fps, even if you found a $100 cable at your local BestBuy that claims it can transmit much more than that, it doesn't matter as you are limited by your source (i.e your cable box, Xbox, PS4 e.t.c) and your TV's hardware capabilities. Hence, if you do happen to own a TV and another device that both have HDMI 2.0 ports, any AmazonBasics High-speed rated cable will work perfectly fine with it."
"I don't know that I could tell the difference in performance of a basic vs some kind of "superior" HDMI cable but there is one thing about this product you might need to know.. the insulation makes these really thick.. maybe about double size of other HDMI cables."
"I needed to run an HDMI cable from a conference table to a wall outlet and it needed to run across the floor, inside of the rubber conduit cable keeper."
"With HDMI cables, you don't have to spring for the $200 diamond plated cables or whatever like other companies would have you believe to get the best picture."
"These cables work perfectly for my Roku ultra and my Samsung 4K TV."
"My old one supplied by cable company was causing picture issues and they suggested a new HDMI cable."

"Worked perfectly: all the detail and the clarity from the computer screen shows up on the tv (Panasonic Viera) with NO data loss."
"I use this at work and in the hotel room also."
"The second monitor is on a table next to the arm of the chair and when I get up I set the laptop down on the coffee table in front of the the chair. But better for the cable to fail than the motherboard on my laptop."
"I bought this to go with my Apple Lightning to HDMI adapter to sue while traveling."
"The HDMI cable which came with an android box I purchased would not fit through the bracket slot of the tv stand ."
"I even replaced a perfectly good older HDMI cable that was about 3/8" diameter and was comparably huge and stiff in comparison to clean up my desk."
"Just the right product."
"I needed a longer HDMI cable for my video rig; one that was thiner and more flexible than a regular HDMI cable."

Reviews
"After working perfectly for two days, the light started coming on and going off randomly. I returned it for a refund hoping to get an exchange as it was purchased on sale. I was very pleased with the customer service and looked forward to installing my new light. My guess is that the second light I returned was fine and that the first one was right on the border of light sensitivity for coming on and going off. If you have some light coming through a window or light shining into a dark closet from a lit room, they may or may not come on."
"I could have spent a lot less money on a light if I bought one that required me to turn it on and off manually."
"He loves the light and is no longer scared to go to the potty when it’s dark."
"The round cylinder shape lets it roll around, and since the back side weighs more, it's always rolling on its back and ends up facing upwards shining in your face."
"Rural home, no street lights, so really dark here, plus near Seattle so this time of year days not very bright either."
"Great idea with cheap battery. Update: customer service contacted me to try to fix review, then promptly told me this light is better used as a night light and not a main light."
"The light quality is pretty unappealing."
"Charged battery pack for a great deal of time on 2 separate occasions."

Reviews
"So, in short: Pros: - Works well as described. - I even tried S1, S2 modes which also works well (In S2 mode you can use the wireless trigger to trigger the shutter of the camera & the camera’s flash will trigger the AP-N1001’s flasher). - Great wireless trigger when connected to the camera. - Good battery life. - Comes with the batteries for the wireless trigger set (but doesn’t incl. I’m very happy with the wireless trigger too, cos I can use it to trigger the camera (especially when I set the AP-N1001 flasher to S2 mode (slave) so it’ll go off as soon as it detects the camera’s (Nikon D7100 in my case) flash goes on. I have a very cheap wireless IR trigger I bought for the D7100 but it’s not very reliable, sometimes it’ll shoot as soon as I press it, but sometimes I need to press multiple times. But this wireless trigger (when connected to the camera) triggers as soon as I press it."
"The included User Manual wasn't the easiest to figure out in terms of tweaking for perfect photos - at least not for a newbie, but the controls of On/Off are simple enough and it wasn't tough to quickly figure out the settings even without the manual. The ability to soften the flash with a plastic diffuser (included) and by user settings, was great. NOTE: Photos included with this review are without any flash, with diffused flash and with the flash and no diffusion (the brightest with a setting of +2 on the flash)."
"I have used the flash on the camera body for several years."
"It's very simple and easy to use and unlike more expensive flash kits, it recycles quickly."
"Most of my shots are of athletes and parades and needed a good reliable flash for your Nikon 5100 and have been VERY happy with the results."

Best Complete Tripod Units

AmazonBasics 60-Inch Lightweight Tripod with Bag
Size: 60-Inch |. Configuration: Tripod Only. Weighs 3 lbs; Extends from 25 inches to 60 inches when center post is fully extended; Carrying case included.
Reviews
"I absolutely LOVE this tripod. I have no clue how such a versatile tripod can go for so low...but hey just one more reason to LOVE Amazon.com!!"
"Two different bubble levelers, one for the base and another for the camera, an independent crank riser for additional height, multiple tightening locations to keep your camera in place, and the ability to hold your camera in both landscape and portrait. Since receiving this tripod, I did a "test" where I installed my camera and left it alone for almost five days with the legs fully extended and positioning locations locked / secured."
"The few bad reviews seemed to concern the tripod being shaky when the center tube extension was cranked up and/or the total lack of instructions.I think the two issues are related and Amazon could eliminate 5 of the 7 bad reviews by including instructions. It's not hard to figure out but don't clip your new camera into the quick release mount until you are sure you know how to remove and replace the mounting plate and FULLY lock the cam lever. It's not really quick at all if you don't have a second mounting plate and need to unscrew the plate from the camera and screw it onto the scope. I bought this tripod for my second digital camera, which is about half the size of my first one. Who knows what cameras will look like 5 years from now, but I bet they will have a screw mount in the bottom and a tripod will still be a good idea."
"All in all, this is a fairly sturdy tripod for the money and it comes with a nice carrying bag."
"I used this tripod for a shoot on top of the Blue Ridge Parkway in icy temperatures with a very strong wind blowing, and it did not even budge a little bit."
"I bought this tripod for a photo shoot I did with my roommate and we did a fairly good amount of walking and this tripod did not feel heavy or burdensome to carry at all."

Reviews
"I have a much larger external battery, which works when I might have a long time in between outlets, like international traveling. The flashlight is pretty good, and I wouldn't feel so stressed about using it for an extended period of time."
"My RAV had been fully charged a couple of weeks ago so I grabbed it and plugged in the Fire Phone. The RAV was now showing red when power level was checked (by pressing the button once) but the flashlight still worked like a champ even after pumping all that juice into my phone."
"My kids like to use their phones more than they like charging them, so they end up with dead batteries when they are leaving the house to go to a friends or somewhere else that I want to be able to get a hold of them."
"I originally had stated that the button to turn on the flash light is easy to activate and with the device roaming in my purse, the button could easy get pushed and run down the battery."
"The charger comes with a micro USB cable to charge it and it charges from empty to full power in 4 hours maximum."
"I will be charging RAVPower from Sinewave and then charge iPhone, etc from RAVPower."
"and when on, a light informs you if it needs charging (usb turns red) and if its charged (usb turns green), and I'm still learning what other colors mean."
