No, that base is meat for the T3 and T5 models only. The Solo 5 has a weighted base and is very stable.

The Solo 5 only has a single camera so it does not provide picture in picture. If you have an additional webcam, the Hovercam software can be set up to display video from both cameras, giving you a picture in picture video.

The Solo 5 does not have an internal memory so it will save all images and video back to your computer. The Solo 5 needs to be connected to that computer to function.

No, the Solo 5 only has a USB port so it must connect to a computer. You can then connect your projector to your computer to display the image.

The microphone is something you won''t have to think about. It is built into the Solo 5, located near the camera lens. It is also always ready to go when you push the record button.

There is a wheel on the side of the camera head. Turning that wheel changes the viewing size from A4 to A3.

The Solo 5 has excellent video quality. It can rival much more expensive cameras. That being said, there are many factors that can affect your video quality, most notably is your computer. If the computer is running slow, the video may look slower than it should. You can also adjust the resolution of your video right on your screen. Higher resolution will give you a very high res image and slower video. Lowering the resolution will give you smoother video.

The neck is adjustable. It has two joints and can even extend a few inches in height, so you can adjust it to many different positions.

es, Solo 5 is the best document camera for artists, including comic artists. It allows them to do a "quick scan" and send the drafts of their art work to editors. You can also scan the work, and using a projectorm,blow it up onto the wall for a large painting / large drawing. It shows A3 size (even larger); has an incredibly small footprint (doesn''t take up much desk space) and is easy to move around or travel with. And, for comic book collectors, Solo 5 is the best way to make a digital archive of your comic book collection

The Hovercam Solo 5 connects to your computer through the included USB cable. No other cables are needed. Since it does not have a video output, it can only connect to a computer through USB.

Once your subject is placed under the camera and visible on your computer screen, you simply click the snapshot button on your screen and a few seconds later you have a scanned image thumbnail on the right side of your screen.

With the software in video mode, simply press the record button on your screen. It will then ask you to select the area which you want to record. Drag the box over the area of the image that you want to record and click record.

There is a small window located on top of the camera head that displays "A3" or "A4" so you will know with just a glance.

That mat is there to assist in scanning documents. It has marks on it for the camera as well as different sizes of paper. Once you are set up, you simply drop you paper within the marks on the mat and you know it will be centered in the screen and ready to scan.

Auto focus is a very convenient feature that automatically adjusts the focus to give you the clearest image possible. Anytime to change the object under the camera or move your hand under the camera, the focus will readjust. Sometimes you might just want to point to something or write on a piece of paper without having it readjust. You can press the AF-L (auto focus lock) button to keep it from refocusing. Pressing it again will turn the lock off, allowing the camera to refocus.

The Solo 5 can be used for everyday scanning, copying, email/fax solution for offices as well as schools. The Solo 5 is also a visual presenter, and it can be used in schools for interactive teaching and distance learning as well as scanning and archiving students work. Because the camera can flip up, and there is a built in microphone, the Solo 5 can also be used as a web cam for recording video, video conferencing, etc.

HoverCam has taken a radical, new approach to the document camera market. First, we took out the VGA connector. The HoverCam connects directly to the computer, not the projector. Not only does this result in cost savings, but with the growth of interactive whiteboards more and more teachers prefer using the computer to manage lesson delivery. The HoverCam uses the processing power of the computer to control the camera image. Another significant cost savings come from using a patent pending digital zoom process to deliver smooth zooming in and out up to 16X (optical zoom costs more).

There are no holes for mounting the camera to a surface. However, Hovercam has incorporated a Kensington lock slot into the base so it can be secured with a Kensington lock.
