Monster Bluetooth Adapter Manual

First off, it is an adapter. It's not perfect and will not perform as well as native Sony glass. Having said that, it is working remarkably well with my Sony bodies (Sony A1 and AR3) and adapted lenses (Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VR II and Nikon 300mm f/4 PF). It is performing slightly better on the A1, which is to be expected, but even on the A7R3 the AF is quick and accurate and VR works well. Again, not Sony native glass quick but certainly useable. I had (still have but retired it) the Commlite Pro adapter and consoled myself with that one to just shooting static subjects, with plenty of manual focus tuning to get close to subject focus before letting the AF handle things. With the new Monster adapter paired with the A1 and 300mm f/2.8 it tracks very well when locked on and has a decent hit rate. The 300mm f/4 PF is not bad at all, tracks well but just isn't as quick focusing as the f/2.8. It's just so small, sharp, and lightweight that this adapter is breathing new life into two of my favorite lenses from my Nikon days. The adapter is well made and really like being able to remove the tripod mount. It works with teleconverters (Nikon 2X Version III, Nikon 1.4X Version III, and the Tamron 1.4X APO) Surprisingly, the Tamron (which reads the aperture the same as though no TC is attached...I believe it did the same on my old Nikons...D3, D3S, D4S) focus faster and better than the Nikon 1.4X and 2X and is nearly identical in sharpness but with more vignetting and color fringing. All in all, this little Monster was a great purchase and has met my needs for an adapter...for my particular Nikon lenses to my particular Sony bodies. Mileage will likely vary on different lens/camera combos. I'm giving this one 5 Stars because...for an adapter trying to translate Nikon's complex algorithmic language to a Sony body...this one does one heck of a job! Nice job Monster. Good Monster!!-)

FCPX is a monster on this one.

If you don't mind manual focusing, this adapter is reasonably priced, seems well made.

You may want to consider a Bluetooth adapter for your headphones rather than this. They are harder to loose and more convenient.

Awesome little monster

Very useful adapter for laptop w/o Bluetooth. Easy to install, and works great.

Ive only had the camera for about two weeks and havent had much chance to play with it, but the little that I have - and reading the manual, it is very impressive.  I loved the SX700 that I had before until the screen broke.  This is even better. (Wish it used the same batteries as the old one though, because I have seven of the old batteries and two chargers).  The layout of the controls is better than on the SX700, the zoom is longer.  It is a little thicker than the old camera, but still fits in a pocket.   The Bluetooth function is a disappointment.  The Camera Connect software didnt recognize the camera as easily as it should have.  Once I did get it working I found that it has limited functionality.  It can zoom and take pictures, but if you want to add GPS coordinates to your pictures or any other functions it switches to wifi.  The manual warns you that having Bluetooth enable set to enable on the camera will use battery power even when the camera is off.   The case that was included is too tight for this camera.  You have to squeeze it to get it closed.  Im using the case that I have from a previous camera - although I dont usually use a case at all, just for travel when it is in a backpack.    Very pleased with the camera.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve been experimenting with settings on the LG Sound Bar for about a week. Some of this was done blind because LG, like many companies, includes one page of very basic instructions. I found days later (in tiny type) it was my responsibility to download and print a user’s manual. On the remote some buttons are poorly labeled, others are not labeled at all, and we couldn’t find how to adjust sound up or down until I printed the manual. A black-on-black button (not helpful in semidarkness) which I would use probably more than anything else needs to have a color like other buttons. We tried using both optical and bluetooth connections, and there is a tremendous difference in what those options offer. With bluetooth, you use the TV remote to “accept” the sound bar prompt and can adjust sound up or down using that same remote. It also shows the sound level numerically which is helpful. With optical, it automatically turns on the sound bar when the TV is activated, but adjusting sound is done using the LG remote which has that black-on-black button, and no numerical level is displayed on the TV. Our preference is using bluetooth as it’s fewer remotes to deal with. In terms of sound, there is a huge difference between what we had before and the LG. You can adjust settings for more or less bass, and you really hear the difference with increased bass. It adds richness that is wonderful. Acting dialogue is crisp and clear. When music is played during a movie the symphonic effect is incredible. The range is terrific too. Having great sound brings another layer of enjoyment to watching movies. Since I just printed the manual yesterday we haven’t fully explored everything this sound bar can do yet. However, at this point, I would recommend the LG Sound Bar for the amazing quality of sound that it delivers.
