THUSTAND 8MP Visualiser/Document Camera, Webcam 4K with A3 format, LED Light, Image Invert Function, Fold, Dual Microphones for Mac OS, Windows, Zoom, OBS work (black)

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 30fps Photo 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 am beyond impressed with this visualiser's performance. The high-resolution video and versatile features have enhanced my online teaching sessions significantly. It's incredibly user-friendly, allowing me to focus on delivering engaging content effortlessly. The adjustable arm provides flexibility in positioning, ensuring the perfect angle every time. This visualiser is a valuable asset for educators and professionals alike. I can't recommend it enough!. I currently use it as just a personal webcam. It’s great quality and very clear. The flexible arm helps alot

Bought to replace my scanner when a Windows 11 update caused it not to work. Easy to get going, plug into pc and open the Camera app (you will need to switch camera by pressing the button below the X close button in the top right, if your pc has a built in webcam). Once you’ve set it to the unit, Windows uses it as the default. I’ve set mine up to take a picture of a full A4 sheet in landscape mode. It’s tricky to get the arms at the right position so that the page is square on, but worth the effort. I recommend marking the position of the arms at the joints when you get it in the right position, so that if you knock it or fold it up, it is easy to reset. The built in light gives sufficient illumination and the controls to rotate/flip the image work but seem to reset when you turn the power off, meaning you have to press them again. The arm whilst sturdy can move slightly when pressing these flip/rotate buttons, hence another good reason to mark the position on the joints. If you can leave it in position permanently (like I have) it is a very simple job of placing the item under the camera and a single click and you have a picture instantly on screen to save/email/edit as desired. Not used as a webcam so can’t comment on this feature.

Ich bin als Honorardozent bei verschiedenen Bildungseinrichtungen tätig und unterrichte in der Post-Corona-Zeit wieder vor Ort. Dafür ist es mir wichtig, dass ich meine Geräte (Laptop etc.) rasch einpacken, transportieren und woanders wieder aufbauen kann. + Die Thustar-Dokumentenkamera ist für diesen mobilen Einsatz ganz vorzüglich geeignet, weil sie ein Leichtgewicht ist, schnell ein- und auszupacken geht und sehr gut verstaut werden kann. Ich nehme sie einfach in meiner Laptop-Tasche mit. o Super wäre, wenn es noch eine exakt gearbeitete Transporttasche für die Kamera zu kaufen gäbe, wie das bei einigen Wettbewerbsprodukten der Fall ist, dann muss man sich nicht mit anderen Taschen etc. behelfen. + Ich nutze die Kamera ausschließlich als Visualizer, indem ich sie an mein Notebook anschließe und auf dem Lehrerpult meinen A4-Block beschreibe. Dieser Text wird durch die Kamera über Notebook und Beamer an die Wand projiziert. Das funktioniert mit der Thustar super. + Der Standfuss ist schwer genug, damit die Kamera nicht umkippen kann. Insgesamt empfinde ich die Kamera aber als leicht genug zum Transport. + Die Thustar wird bei Windows 10 einfach an das Notebook angeschlossen und über das Windows Kamera-Programm gestartet. Fremdsoftware benötige ich nicht. + Die Bildqualität finden meine Schüler/-innen gut, auch Autofokus via Tastendruck und die Beleuchtung sind nicht zu beanstanden. + Natürlich kann ein solches Gerät nicht mit einem Elmo verglichen werden, aber Leute: Ihr kauft hier eine Dokumentenkamera für 55 bis 70 Euro (je nach Aktion). Ich finde das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis klasse und für Lehrer ist es viel vorteilhafter lesbar auf einem Block als an Flipchart, Whiteboard oder Kreidetafel zu schreiben.

Ótimo para a sala de aula. Podemos mostrar exercícios dos alunos diretamente do caderno. Camara ao vivo e muito fácil de utilizar. Compramos dois para a escola mas vamos comprar mais para ficar sempre na sala de aula. Liga-se diretamente ao computador por usb, e se o computador tiver ligado ao projetor aparece diretamente para o projetor. Qualidade incrível de imagem. O vendedor foi incrível! Personalizou a fatura com o NIF português

Dato il periodo ho deciso di acquistare tale prodotto dato che lavoro con questa fotocamera come insegnante (lezioni online) e sono stupito di come tutto funzioni semplicemente. L'istallazione è rapida ,una volta inserito il cavo USB istalla il driver dopo pochi secondi. Dopodiché, tutto funziona come precisione inoltre non occorre un alimentatore tutto tramite cavo USB. La fotocamera è facile da trasportare anche in uno zaino stretto. La qualità dell'immagine mette in ombra tutte le fotocamere per documenti con cui ho lavorato finora sopratutto anche quelle più costose . Un altro punto di forza che tale camera può essere ha la possibilità di posizionare nel suo insieme come desideri e ti è più comodo lavorate, esso poggia su una base solida. Posso dire che si tratta uno dei miglior acquisti che ho fatto quest'anno. Altamente raccomandato, soprattutto per chi lavora online(un investimento utile)

My daughter uses this with her math tutor. It is easy to use once I showed her how and we have no issues with it. I loved that it comes with the adapter for usb to usb c

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.
