OxyLED 2nd Generation Solar Light Review





This super bright LED solar light from OxyLed is an amazing addition to a dark spot on your yard.



PRODUCT LINK: http://amzn.to/1KWBYg2

PRICE: $12.99 Prime Eligible



As you watch my review you will see that it took me a few minutes to figure out how to actually turn this light on. Make sure you read the instructions!! There is a small pin included in the package that you need to use to turn on and set the correct mode of this light. The two models are either a constant on mode when it gets dark, or the lights comes on when it detects motion.



But once this bad boy comes on it we blind you! There are a boat load of LED bulbs that are very bright.



The bottom half of this light is plastic, as is the mounting bracket. The upper half where the large solar panel is is made from brushed aluminum. Its a good looking package over all, and is very well built and sturdy. It should provide years of service.



The light does a great job in illuminated the side of the house where I mounted it. I set it to come on at sundown. So far it seems to be running great after several hours of it being on.

OxyLED SL30 Bright Outdoor LED Review





OxyLed makes really great solar products for the home. The are sturdy, weather proof, and work as advertised, and are a really great value.

PRICE: $12.99 Prime Eligible



This light is definitely no exception to the previous lights I have reviewed for them. This solar yard light has 8 bright LED'd powered by a large solar panel collector. There is the ability to set it to come at night or to act as a motion sensor, turning on the lights when motion is detected in the area. This light works great in both modes.



The light throws a really bright beam, and I am using it in a very dark area along the side of my house. The light has a pretty compact size, and is very easy to install. There are just 2 screws needed, and they are provided in the package. There is also a large piece of double stick tape included if you want to mount it that way.



All in all, a great product from OxyLed. A definite recommend from me.

TRONFY 1080p DIGITAL LED PROJECTOR REVIEW





I love this TRONFY 1080p DIGITAL LED PROJECTOR! It is a truly solid product in a small package that is truly affordable.



PRODUCT LINK: http://amzn.to/1N7a8hj

PRICE: $99.99 Prime Eligible



First off... I think this projector does a really good job at what its designed to do... and that is to project images onto a screen at a high resolution. And this projector does that.



I use this projector perfectly with my Google Chromecast dongle. It takes about 30 seconds to get setup, and I am watching Netflix on a wall in my house at about 100 inches. All you need to do is to adjust the focus, and adjust the viewing angle. Both very easy to do.



There is also a very comprehensive menu system in this LED projector, so you can tweak settings as needed to get a picture you want.



This projector has a output of 1000 Lumens. This is just fine for a home environment with the lights off in the room. Which is how I tend to watch movies anyway. So again, no issues with this box.



There are multiple input sources for you to get your video on the screen. Again, I easily use a Chromecast dongle. Sound on this projector is OK, and you can add a external speaker if desired.



The remote control is great, and is very responsive. It makes setting up the menus much easier.



All in all a really good product for under a $100 bucks!

Anglink Compact Selfie Stick Review





Anglink sent me this newly released compact selfie stick to do a review for. 



PRODUCT LINK: http://amzn.to/1IC3JGK

PRICE: $21.99 Prime ELigible



So, to start off... The packaging is great. I really like the design of the product and the concept.



The handle of this stick has built in Bluetooth shutter controls. You unfold the rest of the handle, and there is a spring loaded "X" that opens to hold your device. It held my iPhone 5 just OK. I was not 100% comfortable with the safety of my phone in this cradle setup.



Additionally, the extension part of the "pole" is super shaky! I wish it wasn't, but I could not hold the phone steady to take a good picture or video.



Bluetooth pared easily with my phone. I was able to take pictures easily and effortlessly with the Bluetooth paired.



All in all... a great concept, but this selfie stick was way to shaky for me to use regularly.

Getron Universal Car Holder Review







Getron provided this nice universal windshield cell phone holder for me to review. It is a pretty solid device that works as advertised.



PRODUCT LINK: http://amzn.to/1IInCR4

PRICE: $10.99 Prime Eligible



This Getron Universal Car Mount is a pretty solid deal for the money. It accommodates large phones up to 5.5 inches (it held my Galaxy Note 4 just fine). The suction cup to the windshield holds really strong. The vise that holds the phone does a really good job. It is easy to release your phone with a click of one button.



You can achieve pretty much any angle you want with this car holder, and there are various locks built in to prevent your phone from easily moving around. Watch the video to get a much better overview of this product.

Arespark Premium Selfie Stick Review







Arespark has always made really good products. This monopod is no exception. 



PRODUCT LINK: http://amzn.to/1TLVcsQ

PRICE: $19.99 Prime Eligible



This is a really heavy duty selfie stick that has 3 sprite adjustable sections that lock into place securely. There is a built in small mirror that helps setup your shot if you are using your phones rear camera.



The package includes a small Bluetooth shutter device for doing the picture taking when your phone is mounted on the stick. It works great, and paired easily.



My only real complaint was the the phone Mount was really shallow in regards to the arms that actually grip the phone. I did this review using a iPhone 5c,with an Otter Box case, and it would not hold the phone. I had to remove the case in order to do the review without damaging my phone. This kind of sucks. But, if you are gonna use this selfie stick with just your GoPro or sports camera this stick will be a great asset. Or, if you phone does not have a case in it, this won't be a problem for you either.

Lavievert Tablet Neoprene Tablet Sleeve





Lavievert's Neoprene Rubber Tablet / Laptop Sleeve
Protection.

PRICE: $13.99 Prime Eligible

This is a nice cover for a 10 or 11 inch tablet, or a small
laptop (Macbook Air). It offers basic protection from spills, bumps, and short
falls. Unfortunately I probably would not really rely on this for a maximum
protection solution.

Putting your tablet or laptop on and out of this sleeve is
relatively easy. There is an incorporated cover that keeps your device from
sliding out.

The case is lightweight, and the material does seem durable
and should last a while.

There is also a built in pocket for a power cube, mouse, and
other assorted accessories. You can also use this sleeve as a mouse pad.



So, in summary, this is good inexpensive protection. I do
not feel that it will adequately protect a device from a drop from a table top.
I also do not think that the cover does a great job of keeping your device from
sliding out.
