Monster Cable
2008-11-19Is a good item if all of the plugs you are using stand upright and are standard sized. I got it to sit against a wall for sideways plugs. Holds plugs tightly so you'll have to push a little. No problems with it so far.

The thing fried
2008-10-01After a few weeks the thing just fried. All devices plugged into it went off. The rest button did nothing. Exactly the same as what Douglas Schifter wrote in a previous review. No damage to any devices but I don't even thing there was a power surge. The lights (plugged in elsewhere) did not flicker. The thing just burned out. That's not very "Monster". I've replaced it with a surge/power strip made for computers (3000 joules protection) that was half the price of the Audio/Video Monster version (1400 joules protection). Monster is overpriced and inferior.

One heck of a cord
2008-07-26I don't know what some of you are talking about when you say that this is an inferior product. Monster is a really good, quality brand. The outlets are tight, so you don't have to worry about your cords coming out and losing power. It might be a bit much, but it's not that hard to get in. Someone said they had to put their full weight into it to get plugged in, they must be a wimp since a small guy like me was able to easily push it in with a little force. It looks a bit fruity, but it works really well. Plus the long cable is nice to have since none of my outlets are near my computer desk.

A LITTLE "WEAK" IN ENDURANCE !!
2008-07-18After a year, the unit started shutting off, the least little touch of the rocker switch would bring it back to life for a short time !! Monster said they would replace it--$4.75 to ship back and would have to buy an interim unit !! But, hey all things wear out, but the Monster reputation takes a hit with this one !!

A Piece of @#$&*
2008-07-16That's what this so-called power strip is. Like others have mentioned, I could not fit ONE plug of any of my electronic equipment into the outlets. Not one! To those who gave this product anything other than a 1 star you must not have purchased the same product because unless you want to damage the plugs on your good audio/video equipment this strip is a piece of expletive-deleted!!
I was initially attracted by the brightly color-coded outlets which match my living room decor but after trying it out and finding not one well-fitted outlet, I consider myself out of $13.00 cuz you can't repackage this piece of expletive-deleted and send it back.
I got a better deal from a 99cent store. Monster ought to be ashamed of themselves for selling such a piece of expletive-deleted.!!!

The types of camcorders
If you are planning on purchasing a camcorder, you should be familiar with
the types of camcorders and how they can benefit your specific needs. The
formats of video cameras include, VHS, VHS-C,
8mm, Hi8, Mini Digital Video (Mini DV), DVD and Digital 8. Each format has
its pros and cons
VHS
The VHS format is the oldest type of camcorder. This type of video camcorder
is fast becoming outdated, because you can only play back
the video on a VHS VCR system. VHS
camcorders are not nearly as clear as digital
video camcorders that offer clear video with 540 lines of resolution,
VHS video cameras only offer 240 lines of resolution. They also weigh more
and are much more bulky, that dv camcorders. You can only find these video
camera used because their technology is now outdated.
VHS-C
The VHS-C format offer 240 lines of resolution, just like VHS. These analog
camcorders come in a smaller size that the VHS camcorder models, but use
the same technology. The video tapes u ...
Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc.
There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder.
Technology
It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
