Susan..this is the best price you will get for a single balloon...also I have personally used both balloons and their quality is great! Your best bet though is the 600g balloon as it is capable of reaching a higher altitude

I ordered these balloons (the seller was Party Explosions). There were 6 (nice) balloons, and they did only cost 48 cents (plus $3.99 shipping). Hope this helps!

I believe the issue is that Amazon sold out of them (this seems to be a very popular camera), and the third party sellers are charging a higher price due to the demand. It's not anything Amazon's done, $999 isn't their price.

It's not weather sealed lens. Terrible! It's deceptive. Sale for a weather sealed camera, but with a non sealed lens. So it's not a sealed camera wholly. So do not sell it as a sealed camera. It's liar.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but yes, I'm afraid you did pay too much. Amazon has links to brand new ones for $149. I got a used one for $35 a while back. Honestly, I'm not even all that thrilled with the product. Since mine is used, it's possible it doesn't work quite right, but the fan barely blows air and the speakers don't make much difference in the sound or volume either. I was disappointed. Glad I only paid $35.

I'll recommend getting it from more reputable sellers like B&H photo actually. Please read comments on the product details that i have given in my review.

If you go to Beach Camera, who sells through here, you will get detailed info. I had bought the sx 160 from them and got a Dane Electro 16GB card (although a San disk would be preferred), 4 double A batteries, the wall charger which also gives a car adapter for it, a card reader, lens cleaning kit and a mini tripod. I sent the camera back because the images it displays on my computer have grain that shows up on the zoom. It goes down to 100 ISO while my old Canon A200 is goes down to 80, if that matters. My old one has cleaner images, otherwise the sx160 has good features and controls. ...And a carrying pouch as stated in Tom's post.

We've launched a dozen or so and they last about 5 minutes. As for coming down in a grassy field, it's kind of self-correcting: as long as the flame is lit, there's heat that keeps it at a good altitude. Only when the flame goes out does the balloon come down. Nevertheless, any responsible/intelligent person wouldn't launch one of these things in drought conditions. By the way, do consider the metal ring that forms the base of the balloon. I expect it's kind of annoying for anyone who finds one of those things in their yard. The balloons can travel about a mile, depending on the wind - so take that into consideration, as well.

Honestly... send it back. Save your money and buy the OEM. You, I'm sure, have a nice camera... don't attach cheap 3rd party gear - especially when you're talking about connecting to sensitive electrical components. I learned the hard way - you get what you pay for. There are other 3rd party manufacturers that produce good gear, but IMHO you shouldn't go to them for anything above a lens. And yes, I did buy one of these grips, and I returned it because it broke. Happy shooting!

I also used the videos online. Ultimately the tent broke during this process. I got charged a $12 restocking fee for returning it. I wasn't offered a replacement either. Be careful with it.

The tents are offered by different sellers (not Amazon.com) so the question would need to be addressed to a specific seller who can tell you about the tent(s) that they personally have on hand to sell. The one I got was Eureka. I also wrote a review here which may give you more information.

Hello. There is no fly available. I had to double soak it with a water wicking spray. Also during expectations of heavy downpour I cover it with a tarp as just about any tent would need to be. I wasn't impressed at all with this tent. It is clearly not a 4 season tent. Well it is IF a season doesn't have wind driven sheets of rain. It does well in snow however. Summers are hot without use of a tent fan. Just my two cents worth

I don't know what amazon is doing here it is very confusing to buy. I think i'm just gonna go to the gopro site and buy it there plus it is way cheaper from there. http://gopro.com/cameras/hd-hero3-black-edition

Hey guys, I am joining this conversation late, but I am looking for a VAD-HA for my H20 but the only one I found is one listed here on Amazon for $239. That seems steep, I've looked on ebay and other camera websites and no luck. If you know where I can find one let me know, thanks!

It used to say February on the Canon website until they changed it to "Spring." I too am waiting on this camera. Hopefully it will be released at the end of Feb., but if I were you once March rolls around (and REALLLY REALLY need HD video of the event), I'd go ahead and get the HF100 so you can capture your girl's birthday. The cheapest I found it on the net is $375 from Digital Future.Very tempted to get the HF100, but I'm trying real hard to hold out for the HF S100.
