Is It Okay To Use Cheap Lightning Cable

10 year old, loved it.

Okay, it cost a lot, so it should be "rock solid". I have learned in life that when you buy cheap, cheap is what you get, in most cases. I have had an aluminum tripod by Manafrotto for years, (which wasn't all that cheap, but in comparison to the Gitzo GT3543LS, it was), and it served it's purpose for landscape and macro. But I have started getting into heavy long lenses shooting birds and other wildlife, and I kept beating myself up for not getting that sharp image I wanted. So far, (I have only had it a week) I have only used it indoors, shooting through the window (which I do a lot), of finches, bluebirds, etc., with a prime Canon 300mm L f2.8 lens on a Canon 7D Mark II, and it seems to hold the load steady, and I can see an improvement on the sharpness of the images. It seems to be made very well, and I don't foresee me every needing another tripod. I just wish I had made the leap sooner!

Initially, I was not sure if I had made a wise purchase. Okay, it is a cheap, manual lens for my Nikon Z9. I already had a Nikkor14~24mm f/2.8 lens, but to use that huge lens with the FTZ adapter made the lens a bit ungainly for travel. But I was disappointed with the focusing of this new lens though the EVF. On the other hand, I learned by shooting at f/11 while paying attention to the distance setting on the external ring like early manual lenses, this lens works like a champ. Yes, it can deliver wide open but one has to be extra careful in focusing by whatever method you use. In any case, after getting the hand on how to focus, the results have surpassed my expectations. The clincher is the solidily constructed small size at a low price.

I shoot on a budget- Okay, I’m cheap! But it got tiring propping up the reflectors (or worse, asking your model to hold one). These make easy work of my 50 inch Westcott’s and I wish I’d gotten them sooner.

Cheap cable that will do the job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Belkin International - BOOST↑CHARGE™ Lightning to USB-A Cable works perfectly. A few days after obtaining the charging cable we went to Mexico and my boost cable worked perfect. I had no issues with charging my iPhone and the charge was unbelievably quick. I left my device was properly protected and the cable length is great. Finding the right cable these days for me has been a challenge but this Belkin International - BOOST↑CHARGE™ Lightning to USB-A Cable is sturdy, the heads fit the charging ports with no force.

EASY TO USE FOR CABLE STORAGE.

Use for extended cable runs.

Okay, perhaps an exuberant title - but, hey, the cable/adaptor worked out and I'm happy. I used this with my new BenQ monitor.

Okay, I don't think products like these lend themselves to rave reviews, but it certainly serves its purpose the way a USB cable should! I am willing to review to try to win $1000 gift card, and it really has served us well.
