Amazon Basics Double A Batteries Vs Duracell

This was a surprise to us when we got it. It is a much better purchase than the Amazon basics we have been using. Little larger but much sturdier. very pleased and it cost about the same as the Amazon Basic model.

I also wanted a case to carry it so I searched Amazon and ordered Amazon Basics Large Point and Shoot Camera Case - 6 x 4 x 2 Inches, Black which it fits the speaker and charging cable perfectly. Very Happy

Excellent construction. I like that it is rated to hold 35 pounds of weight. Unlike the Amazon Basics monopod the foam grip on the Leofoto is adhered to the mast.

I bought this to replace an Amazon Basics polarizer that degraded resolution for focal lengths 50mm. I checked the Hoya on a Nikon Z 24-70 f/4 FF and a 16-80 DX lens and there was no degradation observable. Slightly less transmission than Amazon but more accurate colors. As others have said, filter is quite thin so no vignetting at 24mm FF. As with all thin filters, mounting and unmounting requires a soft touch and careful alignment-just don't squeeze the filter or it will distort and get stuck.

Attached to the quick release adapter on my Amazon Basics tripod so I can keep my Arca adapter on my camera and have quick release on both my other tripod that has an Arca style mount and my Amazon tripod.

So for my needs this is a good solid tripod actually anything is better than my amazon basics tripod. The swivel head works well , pretty smooth. I got this on sale for $129 and it’s gone on sale to $109. Why? That’s to me is the only thing wrong.

I need secure power for two separate systems; mostly to save them the agony of power repeatedly going out and coming back on; for example - Texas storms. One's my desktop Mac system, which has some external SSD drives. It doesn't need much power, and I'd been using an Amazon Basics 400VA box. Which is what I was using also to power the other system, which is a Dish satellite TV recorder and some low-power stuff that needs wifi to communicate with the gate, which can be monitored and remote controlled from an iPhone app. The Amazon Basics UPS was small, low-cost and of adequate capacity and seemed to work well, but during a prolonged absence I discovered in wouldn't power back on again if it shut down during a blackout. Well, it would - but you had to be there to press the power on button; it wouldn't turn back on by itself despite the mains being back. Not a problem for the Mac, but a serious issue for the Dish recorder and the gate controller. So therefore this similar power APC product. Installed in both places. Better arranged outlets (especially these days, with wall warts a-plenty), almost as cheap, slightly more VA capacity. And it turns on when the mains supply comes back.

I use nothing but DURACELL if you want the best then get the best DURACELL your #1 with me there is no better!

No Watson AA Batteries I tried fit (too large, got stuck), yet Energizer and Duracell are best!!

I always use Duracell but these works just as good and are a little cheaper. But are very comparable. They come in packs of 4 and 8 as well. These are my go to batteries.
