Hi Everyone,I received this USB document camera within 3 days of ordering it, so the delivery was fairly quick. I tested it thoroughly with the different modes that it supports in Microsoft Windows 11. It is plug-and-play for a quick and easy setup and no software installation is required. I have used it with the Windows Camera app, OBS, and Wondershare Filmora to record videos and took some pictures too. The video quality in good lighting is great and the pictures taken were crisp too.Just remember: Good lighting is of great essence :)The maximum resolution in photo mode is 5MP and the maximum video resolution is 1944p. The supported modes are given below:Video Modes:- 1080p 16:9 30FPS- 720p 16:9 30FPS- 1944p 4:3 30FPS- 1536p 4:3 30FPS- 600p 4:3 30FPS- 480p 4:3 30FPSPicture Modes:- 2.1MP 16:9 (1920x1080)- 0.9MP 16:9 (1280x720)- 5.0MP 4:3 (2590x1944)- 3.1MP 4:3 (2048x1536)- 0.5MP 4:3 (800x600)- 0.3MP 4:3 (640x480)Flicker Mode: 50Hz & 60HzThere is a mono microphone on the tip of the camera head which does the job, however, for better audio quality I would recommend using an external mic or a headset if you are recording or streaming online. For the price, it is a versatile document camera that can be used in different positions due to the flexible design of the stem connecting the camera to its base.It has a 3-stage brightness LED that comes in handy when you need it. Also, a 5-step brightness exposure control is given at the base along with autofocus and a left-to-right image shift button. The autofocus capability is present however, I would suggest using the dedicated button to make sure the picture is in focus, especially when the camera position or distance to the object is changed.The cable length from the USB plug to the base of the document camera is approximately 54 inches and the maximum height of the camera from the foot of the document camera when placed at the desk is 15 inches. It also comes with a USB to USB-C dongle so it could be used with modern laptop models as well as a PC.At this price, one cannot ask for more but from a product improvement point of view, I recommend a mechanism to stretch the height of the camera, as of right now it is limited to capturing A3 documents at 15 inches while placed on the desk. An Increase in height would allow capturing a bigger area i.e., A1 size, and sharing the whole desk possible.Hope it helps :)

As a teacher, I regularly use a visualiser. I use visualisers to guide students through annotating texts and to mark work for demonstration purposes. I've used a number of different visualisers in recent years and this one is the stand-out best.The Pakatoo is robust, has a stable platform, is simple to use, has excellent autofocus, has a dimmable light for varied illumination and the neck is stable and easy to adjust. I highly recommend it.

The media could not be loaded. We have visualisers at work, but I was told they were "expensive", so I wasn't sure what to expect from the PAKOTOO Document Camera given how affordable it is. However, I was absolutely delighted with the video quality; it's vastly superior to the visualisers we have at work and is now my main way of making maths videos from home. The mic audio isn't quite as good as the video in my opinion (check out my video), so you may want consider using another mic with it if possible, but the picture quality is great.

Not only is this a very reasonably priced visualiser, the light is a very useful feature. With some other visualisers, classrooms with halogen lights is an issue, as the flicker is captured. With this one, the lights minimise this. It has a good picture quality and the auto focus adjust is useful. It is reasonably large, I was able to read a double page spread with students thanks to this. All in all, a good purchase!

This is a great little device to help my students to see my working out during tutoring sessions. The flexible and portable stand means it can be manouvered easily around the table. The light and the autofocus help the students see even my scribbley hand writing in full clarity! The camera function is really handy and allows me to capture my pencil workings for future use. A very handy, inexpensive device that can be easily stored due to its small size.
