- Flex Drawing Tool - Camera Lucida Drawing Accessory for Painting - Drawing Projector for Artists - Artistic Aid - Drawing Tool for Artist

Excellent product; I use it all the time. Easy to put together, easy to store, I've accidentally dropped the glass several times and have had no issues, so it has been sturdy. The only drawback I can see is that you need perfect lighting conditions to obtain a good, traceable outline. I've tried using in open sunlight, a lighted studio, but the best results I've had is to use a hand-held floodlight so I can obtain the perfect tracing image. I use the floodlight and adjust the lighting as I trace. So far, after tracing over 50 images, I've not had to use any of the filters. I've traced directly onto paper and cotton painting canvas. With the aid of a handheld floodlight, I've been able to use this device in any lighting, dark or bright. I wish the flexible cable was offered in a longer length. Excellent product for the price. I would purchase it again and recommend to someone. Once you get the hang of it, it's a great tool.

This is the first time I have bought a camera Lucia and I'm happy to say that the LUCY turned up well packaged with all the working parts needed. The instructions are a bit of a mess, but nobody needs them to be honest. Although the build quality is made from cheap looking plastic that houses the mirrors, after using it a bit I realise that it has to be light weight so it doesn't dip down or bob around. So it's perfect for what it is intended for. The filters work well and improve the different lighting conditions I have tested it in. The clamp is the only part that is a little stiff but over time it should improve. The arm is the best part to be honest - as it quickly lets you adjust the image position without too much hassle. A straight metal arm would not let you clamp onto different surfaces. A Camera Lucia is not an easy tool to use and I can see it being hard to master, but it works well. I look forward to getting the hang of it. Overall the LUCY is a good package for the right price for an artist looking to experiment with the classic ways of image making.

Difficult to use. Watched videos and read directions-clumsy and not the effects I was expecting. Definitely not worth the money.

I'm very frustrated with this product. There is a basic manual that comes with it, but it includes a QR code to their website. In order to watch the "detailed instructional videos" referenced in their miniature manual, you have to register for their site. To do so, you must have a valid credit card number. As it was my minor child who intended on using this first, they could not gain access to it. That's a completely crappy business model, in my opinion. If you're going to give the consumer something for free, it shouldn't require a credit card number that will get charged when your free trial expires. I can understand wanting to sell supplemental services, but this just feels really sleazy.

If you think that buying this will turn you into a Dutch Master, then you are of course in for a disappointment. However, it is sturdily made, easy to use, and has clear instructions. I definitely draw much better illustrations when I use it than when I don't. What it does not do, of course, is make it easy to do photo-realistic art or anything like that. If you have realistic expectations about what it is possible for a device of this sort to do, though, you will be quite happy with this one.

The contraption is a pain to use. The image it reflects is not that great. I wish I had not wasted my money. I'll keep using it but it is annoying at best and I would not recommend it to anyone. The reflectors are weird and maybe I just don't know how to properly use it yet, but it shouldn't be that difficult.

Worth every penny. Great for learning to sketch

Many people do not truly understand the Camera Lucinda. If you are not an artist this object will remain a mystery. If you’re an artist then you study proportion. You will use tools to determine proportion and perspective. Well, here is where this tool becomes a time saver because you can mark off perspective and proportional guidepost and your art work will look fine. It can help in portrait, but only to get the over the head shape, eye placement, etc. You do not draw with the camera Lucinda! I say this to those that think that a Camera Lucida is a drawing tool. More like an aid for proper placement. This particular model has a few great advantages over other cheaper models. The first is the superb sturdiness of the supporting gooseneck. This baby stays where you put it. It also supplies two filters to gain better contrast. This item would have received 5 stars but for one minor improvement. It is a time waster to change a filter by totally unscrewing a bolt. The filter should should just have a U slot with a wide head bolt and prest, you unscrew bolt partially and insert filter. Despite this minor flaw, the quality is above par and again, the head stays where you put it.
