not powerful enough.2008-11-25
I travel through the mountains each time I go to Florida. This antenna was not big enough to handle the hills and vallies.
I recommend this for easy install and use.2008-10-06
If you have a small car, such as my Mazda, it is easy to install and route to the CB. I have mounted mine on the trunk, and it can be removed if necessary. The magnet is of good strength and works well. It has also taken a few knocks from my oak tree that branches out over my drive way.
So far, I am pleased with its performance.
Would never purchase2008-08-01
Base loaded antennas are not worth a damn! center loaded like a Wilson trucker 2000/5000 or top loaded like a Firestik II will out perform this antenna 70%.
excellent antenna2008-07-13
well engineered antenna for CB use. Requires knowledge of SWR for optimum assembly and use. Stable platform.Reasonable pricing.
Great Antenna, Durable, and Range is Amazing!2008-02-25
So I purchased a handheld CB for emergency purposes, and I also purchased this antenna. I must say, this antenna is amazing in quality and range. It allowed me to talk to trucks from my university campus all the way across the river, out to US-22 where the Lehigh Valley mall is. That is some incredible range considering it is hilly with lots of large metal buildings around.

Anyways, I recommend this antenna to anyone with a CB, even a handheld. I know many people purchase a handheld CB for emergencies in the car, but many people don't purchase external antennas. Note to all of those people...having the CB in the car will diminish the transmitting range to almost nothing. Besides, if you have an emergency, do you really want to stand on top of your car and call for help b/c your manufacturer supplied antenna is a piece of junk? While pulled over you could set this antenna on top of your car and call for help. Or, whenever you are driving on a long trip, put it on top of your car ahead of time. It's also great for killing time and talking to people. I also purchased the Cobra telescoping antenna for true emergency purposes if I am separated from my vehicle and far from the high-way, I need to reach someone etc.

Overall...good to have...and it works on highways going over 80mph!

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 ...
