Easy set up and user friendly
I love how it folds up to be stored to take up minimal space! One photo is darker on purpose to show the difference of using the little flashlight that’s built in. It has 3 levels of brightness. I am a teacher and I am looking forward to using this in my classroom for different things we do like reading books or showing off student work. The camera quality seems great! I can’t wait to use it with my new students.I also took a video and the quality is great. I pushed the little lamp button a few times so you can see the different levels of brightness. I love it!

Concept is similar to the classroom projectors of yesteryear
This projector feels like the equivalent of the projectors of yesteryear. Schools have long gone to media and large screen displays, so this real-time magnification of objects is not common. Still, for the ability to do so and project from a computer is an added capability for teaching. Recommended for utility.

Class saver.
I use this document camera in my classroom every day. It is easy to use with and to connect to the smartboard.

Perfect for teachers
I purchased this to replace an old Doc Camera that was laggy with movement and poor color. It couldn’t keep up with real time writing or coloring. Also it was very bulky with large cords. This camera solved all my issues. Only one cord and a simple software to be installed. Great value for money.

Does Not Work As Stated
Unfortunately I ordered this camera in 2021 and can not return it. Just now needing to use it for online teaching. Apple will not allow the software to be downloaded because it states the developer is not an Apple Developer. Wish I had tried it out earlier–my loss of dollars.

Decent camera, but it has some quirks you might not like
In general this product is a good idea if you want to have video of a document, book or other small object. You can see my sample pictures of a raspberry pi, a small microphone and an AA and AAA battery as examples. All these were taken with the camera about 6 inches above the table, so the camera has no problem focusing close up and producing a 4k image (these were all cropped from 4k). I was able to plug and play the camera with OBS software so it should also work fine with Teams, Zoom…etc. Autofocus works well with minimal hunting. The arm articulates in 3 places and is pretty easy to position over anything you want to photograph, you can also turn the camera to face you if you want to use it in a video conference.Unfortunately, that is where the good stuff seems to end. There are a lot of things about the camera that are just not designed well.First off, the built in light is dim, and I mean really dim. At it’s brightest setting in my office I could barely tell that it was on! There is no excuse for this, I have a similar sized desk lamp that is much brighter. It really provides no useful light for taking pictures. All the pictures I attached were taken using a small hand-held camera light. About the only thing the built-in light does is create unwanted reflections because the light is so close to the camera.Second, yes it is a 8mp 4K resolution camera but at 4k it only does 15hz, to get 30hz video you need to drop down to 1080p resolution. The product listing doesn’t really mention this.Third, the base is a bit too light. If you stretch the arm at a 45 degree angle, the whole thing will fall over very easily. The overall design of the base feels like a cheap plastic desklamp.Fourth, it uses a mini USB connector? When was this designed? Almost nobody uses those anymore. Should be USB-C or at least micro-USB.Finally, the included software needs work. The picture-in-picture function didn’t recognize my other USB camera. The OCR (basically converting a printed page to text in a computer document) works but the workflow is pretty clumsy. You have to take a picture of each page in one part of the software and then do OCR on each picture. The OCR function would be much better if it just took the picture and then processed it.Basically, for the price I was expecting something a bit better designed than this. To get good photos with this you are going to at least have to add a light. By the time you’ve done that you’re almost up to the price of buying a 4k 30hz webcam, tabletop stand and light separately.So basically the camera itself is ok, but everything else needs work.

Works mostly well, with some quirks
The unit itself is well made and fairly easy to set up as far as the hardware, but it gets a bit trickier from there.First, I could not get it to work with my MacBook Pro – which is primarily where I wanted to use it. So I set it up on an older PC in my office and that was fine.Then, getting it to the correct position where it was useful was a bit of a challenge. It does swivel and turn in just about any direction, but getting it to stay there AND get a good capture was tough. Once I did, it worked very well, but it took a while to get there and that might be a problem when you are trying to be efficient.As far as picture quality, that was good – the autofocus was probably the best feature and that worked flawlessly. Again, that did take a bit to get down, but once you figure out what swivel etc works the best, you simply work around that going forward for your scans.Overall this is a good product, but you’ve got to bring your patience to use it effectively.

Çok şaşırdım, bu fiyata çok kalitesiz bir ürün gelmesini beklerken inanılmaz bir ürün geldi. 2 tane almıştım keşke birkaç tane daha alsaydım. Ürünü kendi kutusundan çıkartırken kaliteli bir ürünün sizi beklediğini anlıyorsunuz. Bu alışverişten çok memnun kaldım. Harika!

The document camera is easy to set up and use. It has multiple light brightness settings which can be very useful! The image was clear as well. It is not too heavy, so it is quite portable.
