Reviews
"I like this little slide scanner, it was great for scanning 35mm Slides and Negatives, and converting them into JPG photos! Best of all if used with a simple photo editing program like the free Irfanview program with its "Autocorrect" setting and it will adjust the brightness, contrast, lighting and color temperature, all at one time."
"I used this for converting slides, didn't try it on negatives yet, and it worked fine. I learned after scanning for awhile that you can get a little control over that issue by saving the scan before it completely scans the slide, but you have to experiment with it. You can plainly see when it is time to clean as you will see little specks on the screen with no slide installed. When you scan 12 slides you will then be required to save them to the computer."
"Loading was straight forward, and, if you read the instructions, the operations screen is adequate (it is not "obvious" what to do if you don't read the instructions). It seems most could use a tweak or 2 with a photo finish software, but some just don't reproduce no matter what I try."
"I've had a box of 35mm slides hidden away in my closet for over 30 years and in no time at all I now have them in digital format on my computer. It has paid for itself already just by saving me the time and effort to convert several hundred slides in just a few hours and now I am able to share them unlike before being hidden in a box in my closet."

"Here are a few of my thoughts: --------------------. Shipping. --------------------. I ordered the product on June 8th, it was shipped out the same day and I received it the next day, June 9th. --------------------. Construction Quality. --------------------. I was actually quite surprised by the overall quality of the product. The plastic construction of the camera/scanner was fairly decent and the rails that hold the negatives and slides were very durable. So, since I work with computers in an IT environment every day, my first thought was to search for an updated driver online. So after I uninstalled again, installed the new driver and rebooted (I think rebooting the PC is a big must in this situation), I was able to access the product with no issues. --------------------. Overall Thoughts. --------------------. This is a decent product ONLY if you get it on a crazy good sale."

Reviews
"I needed this paper for a beginning film photography class and my university was selling it for $169 a box."
"Photo paper worked great for my photography."
"Recommended by high school photography teacher for class use."
"Paper is working great."
"but beware about scanning this type of paper because you will get what looks like noise which i can suspect results from the pearl aspect from this paper; glossy prints scans effortlessly w/ more contrast as well."
"bought to use for a college course, so far paper is performing very well, at this point I don't think there will be any problems due to temperature concerns because I bought online instead of directly from a local store or shop."
"Now as a Photo student you learn to keep your box of paper closed until you get to the Dark Room."

Reviews
"I gave it 3 stars instead of less because I can see how this would work pretty well for applications where you don't need the audio or barely care about it. I've updated my rating to 4 stars, and suggest that if you have an issue with the audio you consider contacting them for a replacement."
"This is a tiny camera which shoots both photos and videos that it can save onto a micro SD card (not included) or can be used in conjunction with an iOS or Android device in order to take photos or videos or monitor whatever the camera is pointing at continuously through an app. The camera is small and cleanly designed with three buttons controlling functionality - one for power, another for Wi-fi, and another for taking pictures/shooting video. The camera charges via an included USB cable, but it cannot receive continuous power from the cable while shooting video so you can't set it up as a security camera as it will run out of juice after a few hours of recording (and the amount of data you can save will be limited to your SD card's capacity as well). The video is shot through a fish-eye lens and actually looks quite decent for this type of camera. The price point on this camera at the time of this review was about 20% cheaper than it's nearest competitor (a very similar camera in size and functionality made by Polariod)."
"This summer I hope to use it as a dash cam on our boat and catch some of our wild adventures(waterproof is nice)! Overall with a great picture and sound, the cost of this camera is very competitive and puts others in this category in a run for their money."
"This VicTsing® mini lifestyle action camera is so cool and it’s really small. I was provided a free sample of VicTsing mini lifestyle action camera for testing and review and was asked only to give my honest review."
"[Review for mini lifestyle action camera]. This camera puts an action camera into a very small casing."

Color Name: 12" Green. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.
Reviews
"I fixed this by plugging them into an unused power cable from the power supply (originally had them plugged into a fan), and boom! The stick on velcro pieces are alright, I doubt they will last long, so I installed mine with nylon zip ties (lightly)."
"For one the Molex plug that the kit uses was really bad quality, like I had to physically stop the connections from being pushed out the back. All in all this is a great kit with a couple problems with build quality, but you probably will only be installing it once or twice in a year so its not that big an issue."
"Use them for desk under-glow or accent lighting too- anything you can think of will look great."
"The hardware was kind of clunky, and the wires weren't quite long enough to give me the flexibility I wanted (I'd need 3 more inches of wire to put the lights in opposite corners of my big Antec cabinet), but the lights work just fine."
"That, coupled with a shiny, chrome PCI slot power switch that doesn't match nearly any computer and the bare, unsleeved wires, drops the appearance of the machine greatly."
"The only issue encountered was the strength of the bond of the adhesive used to adhere the velcro pads to the upper surfaces of the chassis - invariably after a day or so the velcro pad would loose its bond with either the tube or the upper inside sufface of the chassis."
"I purchased these as accent lights for a A-51 themed PC build."

Reviews
"I love how the power button can be used with a small touch and also if you press it for a few seconds it acts as a dimmer."
"Light shows pattern through computer paper with design and lightweight interface ironed onto back of fabric."
"Although t comes with a cable with Usb plug, there wasn't an adaptor or square end piece to plug it into with prongs to go into the wall outlet. I was on the kitchen counter where my cell phone with a similar cord was plugged into a wall adaptor into the wall outlet. There are two openings for USB cables in order to charge two different things and was currently it was charging my cell phone. ***. Ok."
"I believe the product to be good however upon receiving my new product it looked liked I received a used or returned item."
"Then when it was ready and fully charged, when I removed the plug, the ‘innards came out with the plug, rendering it useless."
"The only place you can see the cut lines is where my overhead lamp is shining downward."
"The button to adjust the brightness goes from the lowest setting to the highest setting in about 1 second, so getting something in between depends on how fast you can take your finger off the button."
"We bought this for our daughter in September, gave it to her for her good grades yesterday, 10-10-17, and the the plug connector inside the box was broken, it came out, it can not be fixed, contacted the seller and will post what ever the outcome is, hoping to get a new one, since this is trash, it can not be repaired."
