The xomi (?) brand is a good knock off. I’ve used mine quite a bit with the waterproof case and good. The go pro is better obviously but the knock off gets the job done.

Thanks. I took a, uh, tumble backcountry skiing and am not quite ready to spend a bunch of money on a new GoPro.

Dispute trip report:
I recently ordered some ink to use with the calligraphy brushes I ordered earlier, and they sent me a bottle of blue ink that says "washable", even though I ordered black and the description said "waterproof". I disputed and sent them a picture of the package that says "Blue" while my order details said "Color: Black", and they refunded me 100%.

So, getting the wrong thing happens, sometimes, but at least in this case, the dispute system came through. I just hope the refund was not deducted from some poor worker's salary.

Yeah it would definitely get the job done. I think the 1080p one is probably $50 by now.

If you were really serious though the GoPro is the way to go.

ASK ME ABOUT MY AWESOME STARTUP IDEA


Pillbug
I got my I10 AirPod knockoffs in the mail yesterday. They aren't bad for $23, but they aren't great. Battery life is the best feature on this pair, about 3 to 4 hours of music at max volume, which I think is comparable to real AirPods

The bluetooth connection is choppy and the music will stutter at the beginning of each song (streamed over amazon music), but it smooths out after three or four seconds and will play fine. Only does that occasionally when I'm playing music stored locally on my phone. Also seems to be worse at higher sound volumes :iiam:

The Qi charger in the case only charges the earphones. You have to plug in to USB to charge the battery case.

There's ear detection for power so the earphones turn off when out of your ear, but the song won't stop playing until the power turns off.

Link to the ones I bought: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/i10....63ce4c4dd2VOaQ

tl;dr - At around $20, they are fine for kids or someone that is going to lose them, but wait till a later version if you want to use them for calls or something you really want to hear.

I got MY i10 TWS airpods yesterday too! I had a coupon so I only paid $18, same exact ones. Mine have not been choppy but they are definitely not mind blowing sound wise. Not sure how the charging works do I charge with the pods in the case? I don't have a wireless charger. If I can get 3 hours out of them on charge I'll be satisfied. I wouldn't pay $40 for them but for around $20 I think they are a fine buy.

Xiaomi is a really big brand and they make quality stuff, up to the point that you need to be careful you aren't getting knock-offs from ali. Everything that I bought from them has been absolutely top notch. I got their robot vacuum, phone, lights, router, wifi extender and earbuds, all are great and exceptionally good value for money. A buddy has their gimbal camera which also works like a charm for a fraction of the price of a DJI one.

I have the original Yi camera, it's good. Even survived being submerged in a fishtank without the waterproof case.

If you'll be using it professionally then sure get the GoPro but otherwise that camera or the 4K one are great value and in terms of image quality as good as any (except maybe the Sony RX0II with the much larger sensor). There's also this Seabird: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3U3bxrm9gk, https://www.banggood.com/Xiaomi-Mij...ur_warehouse=CN which seems to be cool but I haven't used it myself.

You don't use them for surgery (well you could if you wanted to) but they're useful for all sorts of other things (craft, first aid, fixing things in small spaces) with all the different shapes and precises edges.
I'd recommend at least getting a magill forceps, they're really useful and it's pretty easy to save your family member from choking with them too.
