Look, I'm going to make this short and sweet... This is the one you want. I did a lot of research and bought two of these and they have only exceed expectations.Exceptional document camera, great clarity, and as easy to use as they come. I use them from scanning TCG cards and playing remotely (spelltable) and it is clear I have the best setup of my friends.These things are also durable, I have knocked them off a high table at least a dozen times with no noticeable effects to its function and quality.Finally, I was forced into utilizing one of them temporarily as a webcam to film some YouTube videos as my typical camera (OMSO 4 action) was away from repairs... now I know the OSMO is much better for action applications than studio shooting, but I was shocked at the significant quality improvement by using this document cam instead. Now I have since upgraded to a real Lumix primary camera setup, but "misusing" this document cam as a webcam was the inspiration from the upgrade.

Wird sowohl vom PC als auch vom Activboard direkt und ohne zusätzlichen Treiber erkannt. Gutes Bild. Stabile Konstruktion. Beleuchtung allerdings schwach. Zusammengenommen: sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. (Ich habe knapp über 50 Euro bezahlt). USB Kabel hat eine Länge von zirka anderthalb Meter.

It works well if you have enough light in the room. The camera will focus on its own. But if you see it on PC monitor not very clear, you can try to refocus by press the button in the center.The image quality is so-so, well you don't need that high resolution anyway to read doc. The image pixel seems unnoticeably moves while reading, perhaps it is the nature of EV camera. You will forget about it after reading over 5 minutes. When you focus on book content, it is only a small minor thing.While other products have app to read the docs in which you could tune the image a bit. But not this one, and in my view, it is all right. Because when I read, I just want it to be very simple to use by launching your PC camera app, you are ready to read. But if you are sensitive to ISO, or changing it to warmer color etc, then you might have to think again.

J'ai récemment acheté cette caméra pour document et je suis satisfait de mon achat. La qualité de l'image est exceptionnelle, avec une netteté et une clarté incroyables. La caméra est également très facile à utiliser, avec des fonctionnalités intuitives tel que les lumières l'inclinaison et la stabilisation, qui rendent la prise de vue un jeu d'enfant. J'apprécie particulièrement la fonctionnalité de stabilisation d'image, qui me permet de prendre des vidéos fluides et stables . Dans l'ensemble, je recommande vivement cette caméra à tous ceux qui cherchent une solution de qualité à moindre coût.

I was excited to see this product when I was looking for a second doc cam recently. It is half the price of the one I had previously, but it performs just as well. I've used it for teaching online for a month. I like the fact that it has an included light to illuminate the desk, which helps eliminate the shadow from the camera due to my overhead light. Image quality is sharp. It functions well with the doc cam software that I have. Construction is solid. It's a little bulkier than others I've seen, but this also means it is sturdier and I find that it really doesn't clutter my desktop significantly because the weighted base is quite small, while still heavy enough to keep it stable. The camera swivels 180 degrees horizontally plus has built in electronic flip and rotation. It also allows me to point the camera easily at different places on the desk by swiveling in the vertical plane, a feature my previous doc cam doesn't have. There are buttons for autofocus and to adjust brightness. Has a USB-A plug and comes with an adapter for USB-C. I'd say this is a definite improvement over my previous doc cam (even though I didn't have any complaints about it previously either). A thoughtful feature is inclusion of a screwdriver in the base to tighten the joints, although so far I haven't need to use it. Overall, the design of this unit seems to be very carefully thought through, and I highly recommend it.

As a Document Camera:Great for capturing documents, images, or objects in real-time. I use it for an educational setting, as it allows me to display all the materials my students require to see/experience in real-time.It can capture high-quality images with clarity and detail. This is especially important when displaying small text or intricate diagrams. This camera comes with its own light, its 2nd level works best for me because it doesn’t create unwonted reflection.The adjustable arm is sturdy and yet flexible, so it allowed me to adjust the angle and height of the camera for optimal viewing.The best quality is that it is very easy to use. Just plug and play. I use it on a MacBook pro. and works just fine with Zoom as a 2nd camera. It has quite simple controls for adjusting the focus, zoom, and other settings.I haven’t try it with a variety of software and operating systems, but i'll post and update as soon as i use it on windows.Portability: It is best to store it or transport it with care.Overall, this is a a valuable tool for educators who need to display documents, textbooks, and other materials in real-time. Its easy to use, flexible, and has a good quality image. Its built-in microphone works as advertised, although I prefer not to use it as a mic.

Bought this almost two weeks ago after doing some online research to find a multipurpose camera suitable for different use cases. Build quality is sturdy and feels well-made, however, they could improve on cable management (a minor gripe) as the embodied hooks do not grip the cable really well. Hope in their next design iteration they will make cable enclosed within the body of the stand. I am happy with the purchase and must say that in this price range, you cannot find a better device than this one. In my opinion, it is a no-brainer and if you are lucky you may get a discount that Amazon offers from time to time.The versatile design allows its use at different angles. Even though it does not have auto-focus functionality, however, the auto-focus button resolves this issue and if you are not changing the camera position, you will not need to worry about pressing the focus button again. Dual microphones are sensitive enough to record the audio, although you may prefer to use a better external mic while streaming or recording. Its maximum height is 15.5 inches approx. (measuring from the base of the stand/desk to the camera facing downwards), wish it was 18 inches or more so it could share a larger area.If it is of any help, I am adding the different camera modes supported in Windows 11 below as I was unable to find these details before ordering it.Video Resolution supported:- 1080p 16:9 30fps- 720p 16:9 30fps- 2448p 4:3 30fps- 1944p 4:3 30fps- 1200p 4:3 30fps- 480p 4:3 30fpsPhoto Resolution supported:- 2.1MP 16:9 (1920x1080)- 0.9MP 16:9 (1280x720)- 8.0MP 4:3 (3264x2448)- 5.0MP 4:3 (2592x1944)- 1.9MP 4:3 (1600x1200)- 0.3MP 4:3 (640x480)It does not come with a software application, however, it is 'Plug and Play' and videos recorded using OBS were smooth, and pictures taken through the Windows Camera app came out good with plenty of detail. I would strongly suggest having good lighting before you intend to use it. I have not yet tried to live stream, however, I will get back and add further info once I get to do it.Hope this helps :)

I teach online and I wanted to buy a document camera to help me in my teaching. I did a lot of search for a good product with a decent amount of money. Luckily, I came a cross THUSTAR which is the best buy!! I used the built-in camera app in Windows 10 to record videos using it. To use it as a second camera on zoom I shared screen using the advanced options (using second camera). The picture quality is great, and found the led light very useful. The mic sound is crystal clear and its heavy weigh makes it stable. It has a key to tighten or loosing the arms as well. The auto focus is fantastic and all what you need is to just choose the suitable distance you wish to use and press it once. Same goes if you want to rotate the picture 180 degrees. All in all a great product, and I totally recommend it. This is like the updated version of OKIOCAM S with a better Camera but this one is only $54!! It worth every penny!!Four months update! I am SUPER HAPPY with my purchase!! 😁🙌🏼
