Bottom line: I have no connection to the company that makes these and I was a skeptic when I first saw them, but this item worked better than advertised and has basically become essential to more uses than I thought when I purchased it. We are a small non-profit with no paid employees, so we have to watch our pennies and get the best value. This did not disappoint! It is portable, versatile, and very easy to use. It takes great quality images of both pictures and documents to the point that my rather expensive flatbed scanner is likely going out the door. The only shortfall for this item is that it DOES NOT do OCR for documents. That can be covered if you have good OCR software. OR.. you can do like I did and ALSO purchase a CZUR Aura Pro book scanner. I also bought the black mat and the "Portapack" travel case I easily store both in. While not essential, the black mat really takes the scanning to the next level by removing backgrounds and helping the camera auto focus and crop on the actual document or object. I use these for a lot of research both in my home office but especially on the road to libraries, Courts, etc. They both fit easily into the case. When working the Pro Book scanner (portable) make quick work of volumes and volumes of documents while the Fancy S Pro is ideal not only for the images, but when I do video calls with other researchers and others. I use the Fancy S pro as a webcam then focus it on the documents or objects we're talking about to collaborate in real time. This really cuts down the coordination time and makes the experience a lot more interactive. In addition to using the Fancy S Pro to look "down on documents it is great for pointing at presentations to capture the images, slides, video, etc. A "must have" for researchers, teachers, students and a myriad of other applications. Any regrets? yes, TWO: 1) I did not find this and buy it sooner; and 2) I didn't just "jump in with both feet" and buy the ET18Pro!

I received the device, unboxed it and was pleasantly surprised by the small size and how small it folds up. It comes in a protective foam case that is small enough to fit in my backpack, which is great for when I travel. It was easy to get started. Basically, you just take it out of the box and plug it into your computer. The plug and play to use the device as a camera works seamlessly. The most complicated features on the device are the buttons on the top. I had to get out the manual to know what each one does. I am still not sure I am 100% on these but I feel that if you use it consistently, it will become second nature. Once I got the device connected, I first opened Zoom, which automatically chose the device as my camera. This did not work so great when I had it aimed at a paper on my desk, however, when I turned it to record me, it worked well. I could use this as an additional camera on myself for video conferencing, especially if using my laptop and want more control of what the camera shows. The device is adjustable in many ways, allowing the user to get the image they want. I then downloaded the Czur Visualizer software for the device. This was easy to do and simple to learn. I have the Aura Pro, and the software for that took me a little bit longer to figure out but there are also more features. The software for this device is simple. There is a display, scan, and file tabs. From the display I was able to record a video of myself writing on a piece of paper and pointing to things on a document. I think this feature will be useful for recording videos for my online students especially when I want to share something physical on my desk. The scan feature works pretty well. It takes jpgs of the image in the camera. The quality is not nearly as good as the images taken with my Aura Pro, but I don’t feel this is the main goal of this device. I was hoping I could use this device in the archives to scan documents, but I think I will stick with my Aura Pro for that simply due to the quality. However, this device will work well if I need a quick image or a camera to capture moving images. Overall, I think this is a quality device at a good price. The flexibility of the device makes it ideal for giving the user more control over what is in the image. I am happy with this purchase.

Love this design, since I have 2 monitors side by side on my desk I can put this in front of the border & flip it up when I'm on a video call so I'm looking more or less at the camera. Here are my pros & cons: Pros: + clean design with flexible positioning + good resolution Cons: - CZUR software crashed twice within several minutes - Power light stays on whenever it's connected -- doesn't indicate when camera is active (power light is also facing away from camera) - No physical shutter - Software permits pan/zoom, but only when viewed in their software -- no apparent way to set appropriate zoom & framing for video call (previous Logitech webcam I used let you control pan/zoom/exposure as seen through all other software on device) - Light is very high color temperature -- fine for documents maybe, but people will look too blue - Camera not very sensitive, will be pretty grainy when subject lit normally or underlit (software exposure control range is limited) Sadly, may end up trying to mount someone else's camera on their stand, since I'm more interested in video call use than doc scanning/sharing.
