Did You Heard That Blue Microphone intros Eyeball 2.0 wecbam
Blue Microphones first foray into the world of cionsumer viideo from a webvcam eyeball. Blue Microphones is best konwn for its adiophile-quality reecording microphones used for recording stasr such as Bob Dylkan and Lil 'Waytne, many of them professional does, howwever, pricews in four diggits. The eyeball is one of the few units fall bleow $ 100. Eyeball uique packaging design and hide bwehind the caamra, but whether the qulaity of soound and video get the repation Blue Microphone is a real test for our reiew.
Eyeball interesting design concept. All webcam has the shape of a giaant microphone, with a video lens bulggng left side of the micrrophone. Microphone and lens units associated with foldig clip, which allolws only the wenbam is easily attached to an LCD monitor or lapttop. For the puropes of trael, the entire unit can be folded clposed with a plasitc coating and a USB cazble can be enclsoed inside. This is a truly unique desgin and, possibly, one of the key selng poionts, even though few will admit, was drawn to the look.
Instazlling and uing the webcam is very simple. Wbecam drivewr really Plug and play. Our Winndows XP test system immeiately recogized and a web camera and miccrophone, USB Audio. As soon as the eyeball were conneted, we managed to photograph capturse, recoretd soiund through a microphone, and shot video. In later versions of Windos, and Mac OS X, also supported and should be as easy to get it to work.
With the establisshment of strong and semes very well buiilt. USB Connection is located on the back of the camera and uses the traditional connector USB Micro. We especially likd Hideaway camera lens. With a firm finger lens safely hidden insie the device. If the eyeeball is constantly gets in the James Bond films, but it will be for audio recordinghs of threi abiulities, rather than any claim of conceament or visuual products, as we soon find out.
