Clamped to desk, inserted post into socket on the clamp, tried to flex the lamp position and the spotwelds that attached the post pivot piece popped off. Very poor spotwelding. Have a replacement on the way.

Depends on what your are looking for. You can get a plug in (non battery) Monolight for less.
This one with the battery power and the supposed TTL for Nikon and Canon has some features that seem interesting.
I see it comes with the remote. But, I believe, you need an AC adapter to run it from wall power.
Most Monolight users are going to be using light modifiers such as umbrellas, gels, boxes or ???
Be sure what you have (or want to use) are compatible with the mounting system.
All the Best,

I noticed that too when viewing on an iPad.

More selections appear, including a 16 cell only pack, when I view on a PC in Firefox. Weird...

$29.99 with Prime and a extra 15% off extra savings coupon

Not a super deal, but still worth a look if you are still using a spinning HDD.
$40 for 256Gb, $55 for 500Gb.
An SSD will breathe life into an older system. Win10 sucks on the HD something awful and can really slow down a system.
An SSD is like air conditioning, once you have it, you can never go back.
Need lots of space? Put the OS and apps on the SSD and those Terabytes of videos and music on your old spinner.

Well, surprise me. I was just delivered an Amazon purchase of a couple days ago supposedly by USPS….on Sunday?
That was a first! It was an anonymous vehicle and the package was left at the front door, not in the mailbox.

Yep

Received my SEIVI Rechargeable AA Batteries today —- Bag had a hole in it — 6 batteries MIA — that’s the great part about Amazon —more on the way

Interesting to see that they’ve changed the blade deployment hole shape… maybe to help avoid copyright infringement? Because the original Ganzo G729 looked like a total clone of the Spyderco PM2. Of course, with axis-lock instead.

$43 shipped… not a bad price for that!

That’s what I thought too. It goes for 20% off on rare occasions I saw, but 15% off was still enough of a discount for me to go for it. I don’t regret a penny of that purchase, either. Especially since it comes with the 1100mah 18350, and lithium cells aren’t exactly cheap to just go and buy separately whenever you want.

It’s a really fun light, good for checking things out at night without worrying about spill. I don’t think I could get much use myself out of a LEP besides just a little fun, and maybe some unwanted attention. I already have several lasers and use those sparingly enough as it is.

not a regular starter kit,
but a Super Starter Kit
for $30.

It’s a very handsome looking flashlight too. Thrunite did a great job. Nearly 600 meters is seriously impressive for that size. I just wish they’d given the body a touch more girth to support 22430 cells. I agree, for the most part LEP is a novelty. You need binoculars to make out details at the distance it throws.

3 for $12

Looks like a decent deal.

Doesn’t seem to be $30 anymore :frowning:
Things like this tickle my old electronics hobbyist itch. Of course, I’d be more inclined to get the “mega ultimate starter kit”, (its called that in one of the comparison tables, although it doesn’t seem to be called that on amazon)

yes,
Amazon sometimes, but not all the time, uses “dynamic pricing”.
in other words, if the first price is too popular, the price goes up.

I saw it when it was on sale. It was a lightning deal and it had a timer.

here is a weird one
(to me, anyway):

blow your Christmas gift budget with a Gesture Controller…$200

Reminds me of the failed Nintendo Power Glove.

It’s back to $30, lightning deal for 9 more hours
