Is it better than DJI Osmo Pocket? No, it’s not, but it’s reasonable choice. This is a short review with the most important information.
Build quality and design
Plastics are well made. Design’s very similar to DJI Osmo Pocket.
I have updated it to the newest firmware version easilyYep, it’s very small. Fimi Palm on hand
Video quality – daylight
Daylight video quality is great. If you will add a little bit more contrast in Adobe Premiere (or any other software), then it’s even better.
Sample 1:
Sample 2:
Seriously, you can create pretty nice movies with this thing.
Video quality – night/dark
Well, in poor lighting conditions video quality is pretty bad – there’s a “grain” visible (automatic high ISO). If it’s almost dark, then there’s just a black screen! I think this camera should only be used in daylight.
Firmware update
It’s easy to update firmware. It’s very important to use the latest version (when I’m writing this review, then latest update is: 2020-07-17)! Here’s official Fimi website with firmware updates: https://www.fimi.com/fimi-palm-gimbal-camera.html
Pros
Pretty cheap (around 160 USD),
Good video quality in daylight,
Good gimbal stabilisation,
Good battery
Cons
You need to update firmware, because factory versions are not the best,
Bad video quality at night or dark evening,
Problem with connection between app and fimi palm,
Average audio quality
Basically if all you need is a good video quality in daylight and nice stabilisation, then it’s a good idea to buy it. I got it from here

Here is skilhunt H03 neutral white headlight review. Buying and testing various flashlights I came across the Skilhunt H03 model. This is an angle flashlight with a maximum power of 1200 lumens.
tl;dr: Great headlight, just buy it if you need one.
The specification is as follows:
Skilhunt H03 specs
The flashlight is packed in a handy box that contains all the accessories. After removing the flashlight from the packaging, you can immediately see its small dimensions 99.9 mm x 23.5 mm x 21.6 mm. When you pick it up it feels very light – without batteries it weighs only 44g / 1.55oz.
Skilhunt H03 packageIt has a magnet! Very usefulThis is a high quality headlight
The flashlight is very well made. The headband to which the flashlight is attached is very good quality. Headlight is firmly attached and the headband is very comfortable and has all the possibilities of adjustment to the head. Skilhunt H03 headlight has a wide variety of applications. Its specific construction – angular – makes it an even more versatile tool. Flashlight has built-in strong magnesium in the back, so we can attach it to any metal surface, metal cabinet, radiator, or any metal tool, knife, metal railing or road sign.
Switch can be turned on even when wearing gloves. Flashlight shines with a nice, diffused, neutral light. If we use a universal bicycle mount for the flashlight, we can stably mount the flashlight on the bike handlebar. Thanks to the low battery consumption and high power, the flashlight will light our way very well. The flashlight can be locked against unintentional switching on (keep the button pressed for 1.5 seconds when headlight is switched off). In addition to the blockade, the locator will turn on, i.e. a blinking red LED in the elastic band, thanks to which we will be able to find the flashlight even after falling into the grass.
I also tested the flashlight while running through the woods at night. Thanks to the low weight, even after running 15 km, my neck did not hurt, as it was when I used cheap and heavy flashlights, which in addition shined shorter and worse. I also ran when it rained and snowed. None of these atmospheric phenomena impressed Skilhunts. The flashlight even during a faster run, for example 10 km in 45 minutes, lay very well and did not change its position.
When I cleaned the garage (and there was a lot to clean) as the only light source I used the Skilhunt H03 flashlight. The light was so natural and strong that at one point I completely forgot that I had a flashlight on my head. I only remembered about it when the battery began to weaken after a few hours of use. In most cases, I used the second and third modes, in my opinion they are the best to perform any activities in the garage or garden or while running at night.
In summary, Skilhunt H03 is very good equipment at the right price.
A few photos from using the flashlight:
Four modes:
The third mode I use most often:
I think it is worth the price, i.e. about $ 30, its functionality, very good performance and long lighting time will surely be a great satisfaction for us during night work in the garden, garage, during a fishing trip, camping or in many other situations. I would recommend it.

This is a review of Lenovo E1 fitness tracker. Is it worth buying?
Box
Not the greatest beginning. The box contains typo.
Specifications and design
It looks like every new fitness tracker released in 2019. Nothing new here. It’s pretty nice though.
It weights 58-59 grams – plastic and silicone are light. 120×120 px screen size is 1.33 inches and it’s covered by 2.5D glass, so it should be protected from light scratches. Too bad it’s not a touch screen – you need to click on the touch button (long and short clicks). In my opinion that’s a big minus. Right now Lenovo E1 costs $40 and for that price it should have a touch screen.
In the back of device there’s heart rate sensor and charging plug with a magnes (which is pretty strong – good) like in every other smart watch.
Lenovo E1 is water-resistant (IP67), so it’s rain-proof and splash-proof. You can swim or take a shower with this device, but it’s not recommended, because it does not give your skin a chance to breathe (just dry it thoroughly after swimming and that’s it).

It’s just a standard set of functions in every fitness tracker. One interesting function is 24h heart rate monitoring, but it drains battery pretty quickly (1-2 days)! Also it’s very similar to Blitzwolf BW-HL1, which costs 20 USD (lenovo is for 40)!
There’s no auto brightness, the battery is not the best (without constant heart rate monitoring it’s alive for like 10 days), price is pretty high. It looks nice though.
I don’t really recommend this watch. My score is 4/10.
360 video doorbell (videobell)? Really? Is camera necessary? What about battery life? Is it wireless anyway? 360 Corporation has released new video doorbell that I will review now. Model number is: D819. Check 360 Smart Video Doorbell review out. As always I’m telling the truth about the product.
Package
360 Video Doorbell first see
Box contains 5000 mAh doorbell, mount with 3M VHB tape, guide sticker (so you know where you should drill (of course you can just use 3M tape)), base station (it’s WIFI signal amplifier and speaker), user guide, USB cable (to charge the videobell), screws kit and disassembly tool (like the one in smartphones for SIM cards). There was also EU plug adapter (sits very good, it’s not a cheap one).
360 Video Doorbell box content
Doorbell has pretty big chargable 5000 mAh battery and it’s waterproof. Quality feels Xiaomi-like – it’s very good. The length of doorbell is 15.1 cm, width is 6.1 cm and depth 3.2 cm so it’s not the smallest doorbell.
Then you need to register new 360 account, add new device (video doorbell of course), plug in base station and press the SET button to pair the device. Then just follow instructions to finish pairing base station with doorbell.
Pairing successfull
Doorbell itself can be installed using screws or 3M tape (the best height is 1.4 m).
To remove doorbell from the mount you need to use disassembly tool (or something similar like small screwdriver)
Functions
What does it do? Why is it better than normal doorbell without camera? Well, there we go:
Visitor identification – doorbell can recognize visitors. It actually works, but do you really need this? I don’t.
Lingering alert – when someone lingers at your door, you can receive an app notification – that’s pretty cool. Basically it records short videos (up to 36 seconds in my case) when someone walks or stays behind your doors. You can watch these videos (that are saved in encrypted cloud storage and MicroSD card) later using your smartphone. You can also share these videos (to Google Drive for example).
Visitor video call – you can see a person and talk with him using your smartphone. Yep, that’s useful. It’s like intercom with camera.
Disassembly alarm – when someone will disassembly the doorbell, then it will sound an alarm (very loud) and you will receive an app notification. You need to turn this off before charging your doorbell!
Live view – yes, you can watch live video from your doorbell (sic!) anywhere in the world using smartphone. You can use zoom in function in live view (it’s zooming in pretty good). You can also talk to smartphone and doorbell will sound with your voice (scare your neighbour! :D)
LED light around the button – it lights up when someone is near the doorbell or press the button. You can turn this off in options.
Video and sound quality
Videos are saved in cloud storage (only latest 48 hours is free! Good enough…) and micro SD card (inserted into base station (indoor)). It uses H.265 codec. Video resolution is 1536x1376px and there’re 20 FPS.
Video quality is very good at night and day. I think it’s equal to Xiaomi IP cameras or even better. This doorbell supports HDR and the screen automatically adjusts according to ambient light. It also automatically turns on night vision when it’s very dark. It has 162 degree lens – that’s really wide-angle camera. Picture has some distortion, but it’s more important to see more in doorbell cameras.
I will post some photos, but I have resized them:
Video quality is more than enough, seriously. The sound quality is very good (it’s like talking through smartphones). Sound in doorbell base is loud enough.
As I said before it uses great video codec which is H.265, so files should be small and good quality. Let’s see. Here is content of micro SD card:

1 minute of video is 4.8 MB – nice. 32 GB micro SD card (30 GB real capacity) is enough for 104 hours (a little more than 4 days) of video material (it’s recording only when someone is staying or passing next to doorbell, so I think 32 GB microSD is enough).
Disadvantages
Battery – it’s 5000 mAh, but I think it’s not enough. It’s 63% after 3 days! Maybe that’s because I was testing it and watching live view or saved videos pretty often. You can change settings to “low battery mode” (it will save battery life, but it may not record all actions (or it will record too short amount of time)). You can also change monitoring range (near (1 m) -> medium (2 m) -> far (3 m)) – I’ve had 3 meters setting when testing it. You can also disable “Human motion detection”. That should increase battery life.
GPS has to be enabled when pairing with base station – why? You don’t need to enable GPS while using application though.
Temperature range is -5 to 45 Celcius. It may be even -20 Celcius in my country, so…
High risk of theft
The doorbell is fair-sized (but how it can be smaller if we got 5000 mAh battery and good camera)
