U50

I have used this in my school and now that i am working remotely, I am pleased that I could get my hands on one that was used. It was almost half price and I jumped on the chance to get it at that price. If you can get one of these it is a fantastic multifunction unit. Easy to install and no need to get your tech people involved!!

I love this item! It has completely changed my teaching life! Now I can easily show students how to solve problems using manipulatives without having to find manipulatives online. Also, students can read along as I read aloud. The uses for this are unlimited! This is a sturdy piece of equipment with many special features that the other models do not have. I can zoom, write, take pictures and take videos with this. It is amazing and I can never teach without it again. Highly recommend!

Works great. Wish it has an adjustable zoom. Didn't think to look for that feature when selecting it. I use it in the classroom so I do spend time waiting for it to stop moving once I manually adjust it. Easy to connect.

Works very well. I had another brand before this one and the cheap arm broke, but this one works well so far. I use it with Skype to tutor students online in math and the kids like it much better than my older one.

There's a lot to like about this document camera, but I'm currently looking for a replacement. At the beginning of the school year I was gifted a new Aver U50, yay! Things I don't like about it. 1. Is has to be connected to a computer and the computer has to be running the program for the camera to operate. It's a pain because it adds a dongle and several cords (oh come on, cords can't be that bad. right?). 2. Because of how I have to have it set up, the computer moves a lot and so do the cords. Now the dongle doesn't function because the connectors have been over stressed. 3. It lags a lot to function. 4. The arm isn't very conveniently designed. The buttons on the head are exactly where you'd grab to move the thing around, so it constantly takes a picture which then takes 30-odd seconds to process. 5. Colors don't show up very well. I teach Kinder, and the kiddos get a bit confused when I show and tell them to color a certain thing orange and it looks like it's red. Just my experience with it. Maybe if you've got good cable management skillz and/or it can connect to a desktop instead of a laptop, this will work for you.

Photo with soda can for scale, folded. There is no optical zoom, the zoom is digital and through the software. It works as a plug and play camera on Windows 10. You don't get any fancy features with that, but it does work. You do not have to install the software. As a document camera this works well. I can show students how to solve a problem step by step with this rather than trying to balance my webcam on a jury rigged system. The base is stable enough that you can bend the arm pretty much any way you want to show what you are doing. The built in light is helpful although I really wish I could adjust the intensity on the lamp, sometimes it is too much for shiny textbook pages. It folds up for transport. Very sturdy. Not great as a webcam, hard to get the camera pointing at you correctly, and just generally not great for that. You can use it in a pinch, but it is not really designed for that use. Colors are not accurate, not awful but not exactly correct

Works well for distance learning with my home PC.

This was so easy to set up and the answer to every teacher's prayers! Thank you!!

El envío rápido e impecable. La cámara funciona como scanner, toma video y tambiėn graba audio. En mis clases de pre escolar es de gran utilidad y la resolución es bastante buena. Si tuviera un switch para apagar el micrófono sería genial, aunque esto se hace directamente en la computadora sin problema, pero cuando se tiene interferencia con otros micrófonos sería más rápido apagarlo con un movimiento y no tendría que entrar a configurar el apagado, lo cual lleva dos o tres minutos. En general, excelente producto.

Excellent.

Es un buen producto, es de mucha utilidad para presentar material didáctico en vivo y hacer la clase más personalizada.

Lo guardé el producto unos meses. Ahora que lo abrí para usarlo, no sirve. No lo detecta mi computadora. Fue un desperdicio de dinero.
