Ascend Fitness Tracking App

Series 6 health features are worth the purchase price alone. Watch does it all including fitness tracking.

Does the job. Gets notifications and tells the time. Don't use the fitness tracking so can't comment on that. Battery life is kind of disappointing. But still lasts about 10 days

I am so pleasantly surprised with the quality and the comfort of the Pro; the graphics are superb! I use it for the Supernatural Fitness APP and also Red Mattr 2

I only recently became aware of the out of ear style headphones and became familiar with Shokz through a promo on my Garmin fitness app. So I decided to give them a try. Very pleased so far. The sound is great! The fit is pretty good-I shave my head so that probably has a negative impact on that part. They are easy to set up and use.

I have been wanting a watch with gps tracking because I’m getting into hiking. I enjoy the features of the connect app and the Garmin Instinct.

[Disclosure – Received a mocopi unit for free] I am a huge fan of the mocopi since its so easy to set up and use out of the box. Since its so lightweight, it is a lot less stressful compared to other alternatives for full body tracking that works with VRChat. Although the quality of tracking is not as stable as I'd like, new app updates have made resetting pose (which fixes the calibration issues in vrchat) a lot easier - it still needs to be done every 15-30minutes but its still not too much of a bother and very worth it to see your silly little legs move in VRC! I also like the compatibility with other apps such as warudo for vtuber technology - I think its a great step towards the future for VR and vtuber stuff. I also think its quite cute, design-wise! I love that they give you straps for each piece as well included in the package, as well as the box for the trackers which is great for storage and charging. The design is really well thought out and I'm looking forward to future app updates to make it even better overall and for VRChat!

I mainly got this because I roam remote areas alone, sometimes without a cell signal. I like its tracking ability, although I have a tracking app also on my phone. My friends can view my whereabouts on either MapShare or the tracking app, which I like. I use my phone as a topo mapping device, with downloaded maps so phone signal doesn't matter. I carry the little Mini-2 everywhere. I am still on a learning curve using the Explore app, but getting better.

Just the upgrade to the Explorer app was worth the upgrade, I can control almost every feature as far as tracking, messaging and saving data from my phone. I essentially pair the device to my phone, turn it on and stick it in my pocket. Everything else I do from my phone, Much improved.

I bought the Ascend to use as a travel tripod when I need to carry it on an airplane and/or on a backcountry backpacking trip. It is the most rigid travel tripod that I have experienced. The long version is tall enough for me to use without having to stoop down and the legs are standard RRS quality construction without any limitations. I have just started to use the tripod and need to really see how the integrated ball head works. On first glance it seems very capable for the size and weight, but use in the field will test the point.

Summary: It is lightweight, great height, fits in carryon and works great. Long version: I have had several travel tripods. First the Gitzo GT1542T that I sold to get the RRS TVC-24 - as it was more stable but not much more weight. The TVC-24 was great as a single tripod to have - but I wanted a taller and stronger tripod for bigger lenses/car travel (600mm f/4, etc.) and a slightly lighter travel tripod for airport travel. And at times it was too short. So I sold the TVC-24 for two different tripods: RRS TFC-14 (lightweight air travel tripod) and a TFC-34 (everything else / car based travel, reasonably tall). The TFC-14 was great but the height was a little too short. And then the new RRS Ascend 14 Long was introduced. I bought one with an integrated head. Subsequently I have also bought the Ascend platform center column from RRS which makes the tripod same as the ASCEND-14L-PF. So I am in position to write reviews for the Ascend 14 long with either the platform column or the integrated head. I used it for a European vacation and found it a dream to use because of it's height. We had traveled carryon bags only during this trip. I can fit the tripod in a 21 inch wheeled carryon if I remove the center column with the integrated head. Interestingly I do not need to remove the center column of the Ascend 14 long with the platform head to fit it in the carryon bag size. I use the Ascend 14L PF with an RRS BH-30 ball head - which is a great combo. This is essentially what a long version of the TFC-14 would have been - more costly but comes with a center column. I personally do not see myself using the center column, but it is available to use and it does not take up any space due to its triangular design.
