  • Sturdy equipment, easy to use, engaging toy that sneaks in all kinds of education opportunities!
I bought this to use with y niece (10) and nephew (8). I thought it would be fun to use first for making Lego movies, but later for illustrating math concepts. When it arrived, I just could not resist! (It's my camera, after all, right?) As soon as I started playing with it, I thought of dozens of ways we could use it at the nonprofit where I work, to create engaging social media mini-movies. Before it arrived, I was worried about how well it would hold up. Having played with it, I'm very confident that it will be a functional tool for both user groups for a good, long time. It is very easy to set up! The camera is very stable and the adjustable position gooseneck base is strong and holds its position fine. The focus ring is easy to adjust, too. I like that we can take the pictures by pressing the spacebar on the laptop if we want, which means I can let the kids move the pieces and I can take the shots quickly for them, to move the process along. We can also take the pictures with the button on the camera base, which is handy when the little guy wants to be in charge. If your kids don't know where to start, or if you want to explore a lot more about what you can do with stop-motion, I definitely recommend the book from the same company. Also, check out the company's website, which includes all kinds of great tutorials that make it all even easier. (I also bought the Square Trade warranty when I bought the camera. Now that I see how sturdy and easy-to-use the whole camera setup is, I doubt that we'll ever need that!) ... show more

  • Just what we wanted
After a few bumpy attempts to get this camera working, we couldn't be more pleased. The problem had to do with the USB connection as the PC (Win7) on which it is used had an internet access dongle attached to the adjoining port and apparently the two were crossing wires somehow or using too much horsepower. When the camera was plugged into a port on the back of the computer it worked fine. The software installed on the second try--the first problem may have also been due to the internet connection giving out because of the camera being installed next to the dongle. You do have to register the software online to get full use of it (otherwise only 30 day trial) and it's for one computer only. The software is very easy to use and intuitive so there is really no learning curve. We especially wanted this camera because of the shadow box we are using to film our 'movie'. In order to get the right lighting and angles we needed a camera with flexibility and this one does the trick. We can position it as we need due to the long flexible neck which then stays as it's set for multiple frames until we change its position. There are other extras in this kit, but nothing we needed for our movie. We just needed the flexible camera and the software and are very satisfied with both. Having not used other software of this type I can't compare it, but it seems to offer decent editing capability, allowing you to drop or re-position frames, etc. You can take the pictures via the button on the camera itself or the keyboard/mouse, which we preferred so as to not move the camera when we didn't want to. I'm glad it worked out because I didn't see any other options that didn't cost a fortune or were basically toys. Because of the shadow box where the movie scene is, using a camera on the computer itself wasn't an option for us. We are satisfied with this purchase. ... show more

  • Very Disappointed
Color: Blue Style: without Carry Case
To put this in perspective, I have two sons and the younger one received this for X-mas. The older one received all the parts for a gaming computer that we had to put together. We put together the gaming computer and had little or no difficulties. We did have one stick of RAM that was a problem but got that figured out pretty quick. On the other hand, this product has been a terrible experience. First of all, the DVC/CD that came with it wouldn't "auto start" on any of our computers. My only guess is that it is defective or won't work on Windows 10...probably the first. Shouldn't be a big deal, just download the software. However, unlike most places these days, you can't simply download the software. You need a software license. Figured out that there is a number on the back of the book that will allow you to get a software licence online. Did that, downloaded the software and figured I was good to go but no. When you load the software it asks for the license number again. Put the one in that i just received and wouldn't work. Had to contact customer service and get a "off line" licence number because they had a server down or something. But...you just couldn't put it in because the software won't prompt you for a "off line" license unless your computer is truly off-line so i had to disconnect from our WiFi to get that option. Did that and finally got the software after an hour+ worth of frustration. After all of that, I plugged in the camera and got an error message even though it is supposed to be plug & play. Tried it on three different computers and got the same message. Apparently the camera is defective. Spent another hour interacting with customer support via e-mail when it is clear the camera is defective. I saw this product working at a science fair and know my son would love it but really disappointed that the company apparently needs to study up on quality control and consumer software management. I will say that the support people have been responsive and I will update this review if we ever get a working camera. ... show more
