I recently started running to keep in shape. There is a park near-by my appartement, so I decided I would buy one of these to keep track of my steps, calorie burn and distance.

This item seems to keep pretty accurate track of steps and distance. I used mapmyrun.com to measure how much distance I would run by jogging the perimeter of the park. It told me it would be 2.3 miles. I put in my stride length as per the instructions and went off and ran around the park. When I was done the Omron told me I had gone 2.15 miles. That’s pretty close! Well over 4,000 steps to do it.

So as far as accuracy is concerned, as long as you correctly enter your stride length the Omron will be pretty close.

Every time since I have used it on the same path I get consistent results.

It has nice features as well with the clock and daily tracker history for 7 days.

As long as I dont loose it, it seems like it will work well for a while. (It comes with a clip that sometimes has popped off my belt, but there is also a ’safety string clip’ you can attach)

And it was cheap!

This HDMI cable is definitely worth trying out. I mean, sure, there are better cables out there and sure enough, sometimes this cable doesn’t work. But when you’re comparing $3 with $20, or even $100, it’s hard to buy the more expensive one.

Even after reading all the other reviews saying that this might not work, I decided to try it. Why? Because the other cables or so expensive! I bought this to accompany my new monitor and if it doesn’t work, I still have the VGA cable that it came with and I’ll just go ahead and buy a better cable. But if this cable works, that’s $10 that I didn’t have to spend.

Oh by the way, when I set my computer to output 1080i, the computer screen got smaller. Until I found out that you have to set it to 1080p. Just thought I’d post it.

This tripod is the perfect accessory to the Flip Ultra Video Camcorder. I only wish I had ordered it sooner. It is an incredible value and greatly expands how you can use your camcorder. On this video, which is less than two minutes, I show you the tripod and how it can attach to various items. Then I let you see it work in action as I use a tripod for the first time. It will especially appeal to novice vloggers (like me) because it is so very easy to use!
