Geek squad protection is a must for me! Any products I buy from Bestbuy that this warranty is offered I always make sure I get it! The option to protect my expensive purchases is not a question and I’m happy they offer this worry free option!

Technical expertise is a good opinion on a product and not the final decision maker, the manufacturers warranty is sufficient. The technical repair aspect of the product and the communication between the manufacturer and the customer are critical transparency.

When purchasing a GoPro one knows that you are going to use it in some rough conditions, i.e., on my motorcycle, on my paddle board, etc. So, I decided for my GoPro Max I would definitely need this protection!

This is a protection plan for my Go Pro. Because the minute you don’t have a protection plan you will drop it and break it.

I was charged $89 versus $79 to put insurance on my camera. I went to the store to get it refunded and they told me that I will have to contact support or it will be refunded in a couple of days.

Great video quality, self leveling, bad ergonomics
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Loving the Panasonic HC-V785K camcorder for Full HD Video (did not feel the need for 4K and larger files to edit on my Windows PC) quality and the larger sensor size.
The auto-leveling feature shows a small icon and as long as you are within a few degrees of being level the video is digitally leveled automatically.
I like the fact it accepts 49mm screw on filters so I bought some Neutral Density (ND) filters to reduce light in bright sun to avoid using smaller apertures (like F22 or F33) which can reduce sharpness due to diffraction.
For those reviewers complaining of poor performance in low light, the word photograph means to paint with light. As a photographer for decades, I always control light by adding flash for photos (even outdoors when photographing people) or continuous lighting (bought axillary lighting for the included cold shoe) devices for video. This camcorder has a built in light which is decent for short distances of about ten feet....use it, it is better than nothing. Most image capturing requires the user to control the environment as much as possible, change shooting position, adjust aperture, use backlight setting, add light.
The only issues I have are ergonomic.
.1. Why is the auxiliary mic input only usable with the screen folded out? This prevents the user from closing the screen to put the camcorder in power off mode. Seems the mic input could have been placed near the cold shoe mount area or the headphone out area .
.2. Why is the SD card only accessible from the bottom where quick release plates for tripods interfere with removal? Seems the SD card could be located near the hand strap.
.3. Why is the battery release button only accessible with the screen open? With the quick power option enabled where opening the screen turns the camcorder on, the camcorder is on when disconnecting the battery which is not a standard convention for electronics (turn off, then remove power source).
There are sun shades to put on the screen to help the user see it better in bright sunlight. Accessories matter.
