Sony LAV Microphone w/Bodypack Transmitter & Portable Wireless UHF Receiver (CH 66-69) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this microphone just prior to taking off on a two-week video shoot in SE Asia. I was a bit apprehensive about relying so heavily on a mic about which I wasn't able to get much information before purchasing. After having used the mic quite extensively for a couple of weeks, I can now breathe a sigh of relief and report that overall this is a very good microphone for the price. Its selection of frequencies and other user-changeable features are good, though its menu system is not intuitive and requires keeping the manual close by.
My main criticism is its cheap plastic construction, typical with Sony products at this price point. It only took a few days to break the "foot" on the shoe mount.
Overall, I am relatively happy with this purchase and would recommend this mic, but I would also strongly recommend a good hard case in which to store it (no case is included).

The Sony UWP Series Bodypack Transmitter with Omni-Directional Lavalier Mic for the UWP-C1 Wireless System comes supplied with an omni-directional lavalier microphone. This bodypack transmitter is ideally suited for news gathering, interviews, talk shows and conferences. Key to achieving stable transmission & reception is the use of a stable carrier signal to avoid interference with other frequency channels & to allow the selection of a preferred channel from multiple frequencies. The UWP series achieves this by using a UHF Phase Locked Loop frequency synthesized system, which provides the use of accurate carrier signal frequencies. This system is used in both the transmitter & tuners, so that a stable carrier is gene rated at the transmitter & accurately tuned in at the tuner. This PLL-controlled system provides highly stable, user-selectable frequencies in increments of 125 kHz. When operating a wireless microphone system, it is essential that the tuner not pick up carrier signals transmitted from other systems. In order to avoid this, the UWP series transmitters transmit a 32 kHz pilot-tone signal along with the audio signal. The squelch circuit of the UWP series tuners recognizes this tone signal and output the audio signal only when this tone signal is received. RF power output -30mW or 5mW (selectable) Audio attenuator adjustment range -0 to 21 dB (in 3 dB steps) Local oscillators -Crystal-controlled PLL synthesizer Signal-to-noise ratio -60 dB or more Power requirements -DC 3.0V (2 AA-size alkaline batteries) Antenna -1/4 wave length wire Pilot tone signal -32 kHz Frequency response -50 Hz to 18 kHz (typical) Audio input level -60 dBV (at 0 dB attentuator level) Audio input connector -3.5 mm (5/32 inch) diameter 3-pole mini jack Battery life -Approximately 6 hours with Sony AA-size alkaline batteries at 30mW output Unit Dimensions -Width 2 1/2 x Height 4 x Depth

Yamaha PDX-60BL Speaker Dock for iPod and iPhone, 1 Each (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the next generation of iPod sound docks! I own a Logitech and a Bose sound dock. They both have their good and bad points, but neither of them offers the capability of this product...namely, the ability to have complete control of all iPod functions, using the iPod itself, at a remote distance from the sound box. The remote controls on all other units serve mainly as volume controllers, with the user having to approach the sound box to see what's going on on the iPod's screen. And though this is obviously anecdotal, I would testify that the Yamaha's sound quality outstrips both my Bose Sound Dock II, which has the typical Bose "muffled," soft, basey, quality, and my Logitech PureFi II, which has very good crisp sound at low levels but rapidly loses quality as the volume goes up (and has other well-documented issues as well). The Yamaha appears to have a wide frequency range and the ability to hold the sound quality with increased volume. The Yamaha also offers you the option to plug your iPod directly into the sound box itself, as you do with other brands, and use the separate, included hand-held to control the functions if you prefer. All is not perfect. If I am not mistaken, the hand-held transmitter, which hold your iPod, is RF (radio frequency) operated, but responds in a line-of-site manner, akin to an infrared system. If you block the transmitter with an obstruction, even your own body, the sound will be disrupted. Still, this is a minor limitation, considering the complete control available. This was a gift purchase for my spouse, but it is so impressive I wouldn't be surprised to see one appearing for my own use in the future. Kudos Yamaha! (note that this product is only compatible with later generation iPod models which use USB connectors)

Audiovox D2010 10.2-Inch Widescreen Ultraslim Portable DVD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It all began after a few hours worth of use, the head began to jump and thrash inside the unit. Brand new player and a new DVD. I called Audiovox and was told that DVD was scratched or dirty. I repeated that I had tried several DVDs fresh out of their cases with the same results. OK, then the tech decided the head was dirty and I was instructed that I must buy and use a DVD head cleaner, a disc that looks like a false eyelash has been glued to it. I mentioned that this DVD player was brand new and nothing had been allowed to near the head. In the end, I bought a cleaner and the problem persisted.
The second call to Audiovox went the same, though I told them it happen when using brand new DVDs, the DVD must be scratched or dirty. Once we got past that, the head was dirty, though the unit was new and I had now used a head cleaner. Eventually this tech caved in and told me what to do to send the unit in for repair.
Over three weeks later we received a refurbished player tossed into a box without the batteries for the headphones and the remote. A quick call to the support department got me the watch battery for the remote, but they forgot the headphone batteries.
This one seemed to work fine, until the night we tried to watch Return of the King, halfway through... whirrrr... clunk... clunk... burp... clunk... whirrrr... (It really hates the transition point on dual layer DVDs)
Another phone call to Audiovox and the same response, "the DVD or the head must be dirty"... I gave up...
-----
As others have said, the sound really is weak and "tinny" and unless you can keep your head still for an entire movie, the wireless headphones are worthless. Plus the fact that you may be gambling on getting a junk player (If you do, save yourself the hassle and three week wait by taking it straight back to the store.) caused me to rate this player so low.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For the price, a pretty good product. Directions CLEARLY written in Chinese and translated to English, but if you can't figure it out, you shouldn't try this yourself anyway! Hardest part was taking the seat back off. 2 hours of trying, 30 seconds of actual removal! Pretty good item overall...

PYLE PLVWR1440 14-Inch High Resolution TFT Roof Mount Monitor and IR Transmitter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bad Amazon experience with this purchase. The unit worked for one day, but the polarity was reversed. It was provided by this seller as new, but it was used. Scratches on plastic pieces, and they should have cleaned the sneeze splatter off of the display prior to applying the "this should make you think it's new" protective plastic coating. Incredible. Don't get taken for over $100 like I did. Buy anything else anywhere else some other way, and you'll be better off than buying this unit from this seller on amazon.

Boyo VTL300C BLACK ALUMINUM LICENSE PLATE CAMERA CMOS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great product. This model seems to be very durable. The picture quality is way better than expected and is clearer than the factory rear view camera on our other car. Low light visibilty is also very good. The one complaint was it didn't come with the Allen head as pictured but regular hex bolts which is not exactly theft resistant. But overall very good product.

Hisonic VHF Single-Channel Wireless Camcorder Microphone, WM606 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Do not waste your money. This thing won't even send a semi-clear signal. The mic on the headset and the lav are a joke and must actually be touching your lips in order to hear a crackling version of the audio. I got this as a gift. It won't even work for your most basic set ups.
