At $29 it's a relatively inexpensive IP67 Waterproof Borescope; connects to your phone via wi-fi. It worked great when we pulled additional ethernet cables through the attic and fished them down the wall; it took all the guess work out of finding obstructions or what the cables could be hung up on. It doesn't have the best optics nor resolution, but for the few times I'll use this thing, it's more than enough.  |

Great resolution and very useful! |

 Just got this Sony a7R mk.2, and only 1,000 clicks on the shutter and 6 month warranty. Will run my EF Canon Glass perfectly with my Sigma MC-11 adapter. Takes the same batteries as my a6400, and I even have a battery grip for it because I had a previous a7 camera. I spend less money on this than the 1DX Canon I was looking at. Much newer, way better camera, and still fits my eco system. |

Much newer, way better camera, and still fits my eco system. I started down the slippery slope in 2015, buying that body when it came out and using the Metabones with my Canon glass. I used the Sony for whatever didn't move and Canon for what did ... until Sony caught up with the a9. Sold the last Canon lens in 2019 (500nn f/4) and the migration was complete. But the Canon glass does work with the Sony bodies and that a7rII was a nice one. And really, shutter doesn't matter so much as you end up using electronic most of the time. |

Basically I will not ever pay the ransom for the Master glass, some of the other glass sure, but mostly will fly L lenses from Canon since most of my ecosystem is Canon. The Sony made the most sense as I have the a6400 and many of the 50w batteries and the battery grip from a previous a7 I had. Also the focus system on the Sony is better working on EF glass than Canon's own cameras. How about that!

We sell our stuff to KEH when we trade up or change systems ... you can find good used stuff over there. |

They describe each item individually and the picture shown is of the actually article they will ship you. In the past 12 months I have purchased two lenses and a grip for my Nikon D500, all rated "like new" and indeed they were, down to original packaging, all accessories and warranty cards. In most cases you can even read the actually serial number in the pictures. Useful if you prefer to buy US-market used gear (in my case, Nikon has a no-repair policy for non-US market, grey market gear, even if you would pay for it) |

I use MPB and Used Photo Pros mostly. KEH not in years. I have been happy so far with both MPB and Used Photo Pros.

Sold the rest of my Ring Cameras, so I purchased these 2K 30 FPS cameras from Ubiquiti. I went with a wi-fi cam to monitor the dog as it's only needed when we leave the house and put him in his crate for his safety; it's connected to a smart power plug, so I can turn it on / off when needed. Garage Cam - G5 Flex  Dog Cam - G4 Instant  |

Our previous label maker stopped working, kinda glad as the labels never truly stayed on for long.  I ended up spending a little more than I originally wanted, but this Brady M210 Portable Label Printer appears to be more versatile than what we previously had, so fingers crossed these labels stay put. Plan to tackle the network closet and AV gear next week; wife is already labeling her stuff and so far so good...  |

Just read a review on these by Andrew Robinson when he was writing for "HomeTheaterReview" in 2008 and he noted that one of these weighs 360 lbs!!!  I sure hope you already knew where these would sound the best in your room!!! I'm noticing from the pictures these are the original version, so I'm guessing you bought used? If so, and if you don't mind, just curious what you paid for your twins? They sure look nice! |

Beautiful! The only thing I know for sure is that it's got lots and lots of optional accessories on it! Everywhere you look! And I haven't ever seen those wheels before either, very unique. Just can't figure out the year. 2007/08 maybe? |
