Questions & Answers

Nancy B : Does this doc camera work with Google slides?EGL B : Sry, I can't answer this question, cuz I have never used Google slides and I don't know what they are. However, I can say as a doc camera, I have found this one works very well for my live written on paper presentations. The resolution and image size allows me to write out detailed solutions to problems on 8X10" sheets so that the entire sheet is presented in one high res real-time motion picture. I have been very pleased.

Perfect doc camera for lectures on mathematics on paper.

I am a professor of mathematics. I have found that this doc camera allows me to present detailed solutions and explanations with pen & ink on 8X10" sheets of paper, in real time, so that the image of the presentation is clear and can be learned from. I am very pleased with this doc camera. I found that I needed to add weight to the base of the doc camera to anchor it and add stability, this was no problem. The small foot print of the camera facilitates easy storage behind my computer and quick retrieval for my lectures.
