EyeClops BioniCAM Video Microscope $25!

[Brett]

Hey guys... was shopping at Wal-Mart today and was going through the clearance items and there were some really good deals in there. I saw this item:

http://www.amazon.com/Eyeclops-61081-EyeClops-BioniCam/dp/B00153C5KY

Normally $49.99, on clearance for $25!

It takes pics and video and works at 100x, 200x and 400x. It has a little USB thumbdrive that plugs into the device for media storage, which makes it truly portable.

Here are some pics I took tonight of a half dollar and $5 bill at 100x:

And 200x for the $5 bill:

And some video of a half dollar at 100x:


I would also like to mention that I significantly reduced the image sizes... they were 1280x1024 when before I reduced them to 400 wide. The video is untouched by me (youtube messes with it a little though, but it started at 320x240 @ 30fps and ended up basically untouched).

I got this for my son and I to mess around with... and while it's not the easiest thing to use... really what portable microscope is, right? For $25 you can't beat this thing... I think it's awexome

It even comes with a VIDEO-OUT cable and we plugged it into the 42" TV and the colors were much better than the built in screen... everything looked awexome! Best $25 I've plunk down in a while.

Wow! That is awesome! Might have to check and see if our local WallyWorld has those laying around!

Thanks for the info!

You're welcome Beetle, I hope some others get some benefit from this thing.

I was looking at that one too, but ended up getting an epix MM 640 digital microscope. It will zoom in from 26x up to 130x. I haven't played with it much yet but here is a penny that I messed around with. Picked it up on ebay for $25.

Yeah the 26x is nice because you get a farther away shot... this thing is really for looking up close. Here's a penny off my floor at 100x. This is as far away as I can zoom... the images are also reduced by 50%

Brett..you made me stay up past my bedtime playing with the microscope. Here is a barber dime with a B on it that I didn't know was there. Hope I got the pic sized right.

Headed to WallyWorld in the morning! Hope they have one or two here. HH

Here's a couple pics of my one and only 1914-p barber dime for comparison:




I hope you guys can get one!

Get some rechargeable batteries though because mine ate up 5 batteries in about 2 or 3 hours of playing around. They were cheap alkalines though that were laying around since about a year ago so who knows.

Thanks, now there is something else that I have to buy...
Those are sweet!!!! I wanna get one too!!!!

 

[Lowbatts]

Geez, you boys and your toys, heading there in the morning!
Thanks for the heads up Brett!
Gotta get some hidey holes to slide that thing into.

o boy looks like i got to get me one! willy.

 

[Brett]

For anyone local to me, if you can't find one let me know... my Wal-Mart had at least 3 more or so.

 

[allen]

way to go on that great deal....

 

[kimsdad]

Hey Brett, you lucky dawg! I checked the WM in Rolling Meadows. Still $59.00.

Anyone else find them on clearance?

 

[treasurefiend]

They are $49 out in Northlake.

 

[Lowbatts]

There's two models, one states it's for TV use, the other has a USB plug in. They were several aisles apart in the toy section at Wallyworld here. The one you got Brett, cost 35 bucks here. Now I'm playing with it too.

 

[lairmo]

Big Lots, (if you have one in your area), has them for $19.99 (the video-out models) No USB.

not every store has them discounted :P
