Customer Reviews
Outstanding improvement over the original Eyeclops!
I bought the original Eyeclops last year and bought this one mostly because of the discounted price and extra features. This is an amazingly good improvement from the first version. I especially like that you can switch between magnifications of 100x, 200x, and 400x. The original only had a 200x power. Honestly the 100x is the best and the easiest to get a good focused photo on. You have to have quite a steady hand and moderate patience to get a clear photo on the stronger magnifications. I love the portability of this model, the USB hook up option, and features (has modes for; video camera, pictures, slideshow, and galleries for photos and videos). It has a 2 1/4 inch diagonal full color viewing screen that rivals any current digital camera. The screen/buttons are very intuitive. My 9 yr old didn't even look at the manual and had no problem figuring out all the function options, including uploading the photos on the computer. You can see any shots/video you've made on the built in screen, or on your TV or computer through very easy hook-ups. Saving or deleting can be done on the BioniCam. I highly recommend this very cool and educational toy!
have a feeling it will end up at the bottom of toy chest
My kids 8 & 10 played with this for about 1 hour. They got bored. That is not the toys fault. It does work and it is cordless. The focusing does take a bit of practice to get the hang of it. I had trouble with it until my husband showed me how to do it. They might have a better time with it in the summer when they are outside more, not sure. Glad I didn't pay more than 20.00 for it.
I wish I had this when I was a kid!
This is totally awesome! A must have gift for any child interested in the sciences, and a gift that can spark an interest in science!
The hand held microscope works very well, gave it as a Christmas present, and we tested it right away. You have to put the unit right against what you are trying to view. Subjects are lit up by white leds (more could be better) and displayed at decent resolution on the lcd screen.
Saving photos are easy and they reside on the usb stick which is included. The unit is lightweight and easy to carry around.
This is an amazing toy that really gets kids exploring and learning about the natural world all around them!
The only cons I thought It had was that its in a weird shape of a gross eye (less appealing to girls?) and the focusing ring (the white part) should have been independent as when turning it at high magnifications can cause you to lose the subject as it has to be right up against the material.
