Toys and Games Reviews of Eyeclops Bionic Eye Multizoom, Green

Customer Review: Very satisfied
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a very educational toy. Obviously, it's not meant to be a scientific instrument, but it functions very well. I'm sure that van Leeuwenhoek's first microscope would not be considered a "scientific instrument" today, either. It functions well. Just read all two pages or so of the manual, pop the batteries in, plug it into your TV with the RCA-style connectors (included), and you're ready to go. Couldn't be simpler. I read some of the reviews before buying, and it looks like a few had trouble getting it to "work" or to "focus." I have no idea why these people had difficultly with it. Maybe just not understanding optics? It has a fixed focal length for each power, so start off at low power, securely hold the viewer in your hand (while resting it on the table), position the object in the center of your field-of-view (TV screen), and very slowly increase or decrease the distance between the object and the viewer until it's in focus. Not difficult in the least. This was well worth the 40-something dollars I paid for it. My 5-yr old daughter loved it, and it really helps getting kids interested in science without scaring them away in the process by being overly complicated. Just remember that it's not really a little kid's toy, and you should help your children use it correctly. It's not a here's-your-transformer-now-go-play-in-the-other-room-while-I-check-facebook kind of a toy. It requires interaction with your children, but it is extremely rewarding.

At a Glance

Ages: 6 and up
Requires: 5 AA batteries, TV with video input jack
Magnify Your World
The hand-held EyeClops magnifying "eye" is made of brightly-colored, lightweight, durable plastic and features an ergonomically shaped handle that fits comfortably into small and large hands alike. To operate, simply insert five AA batteries into the "Brain Case," attach the video wire to your TV's video input jack, and turn on the power switch, and you're ready to go!

With the easy-to-hold magnifying lens in one hand, you can focus on any number of everyday objects, such as coins, fabric, your pet's fur and even your own hair and skin. The images will appear on your television, and a zoom dial offers either 100x, 200x or 400x magnification. The EyeClops comes with a focusing lens, a viewing dish and a tube to enable your child to explore a variety of everyday objects safely and easily.

Contagious Fun for the Whole Family
The excitement of seeing objects in your child's everyday world magnified to up to 400 times is contagious and sure to be a hit with whole family. With no software to upload and minimal set-up, the EyeClops can be put to use almost instantly.

The hand-held magnification "eye" is fun to hold and makes it easy for your child to explore their world. Viewing the magnified images on your TV screen in full, vivid color encourages your child to take learning into their own hands and provides numerous opportunities for parents and children to play fun and educational games together. And because the EyeClops is powered by five AA batteries, your child can enjoy several uninterrupted hours of exploration without the need for recharging or replacement.

Although the EyeClops is extremely easy to set up, it does take a little practice to make things come into focus. However, with the aid of the simple focusing gauge on the I.R.I.S. lens that surrounds the magnifying lens, this initial awkwardness is quickly overcome.

On the lowest setting the LEDs occasionally proved to be too bright for viewing lighter-colored objects, and these images could not be seen clearly on the TV screen. On the higher magnification settings, however, this did not seem to be a problem and textures and colors came through flawlessly.
