### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for miniatures
*by F***G on January 9, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Camera
*by K***A on January 26, 2026*

Great camera for live streaming

### ⭐⭐⭐ Zoom is awkward to operate
*by D***S on November 11, 2025*

I had hoped to jury rig servos to remotely control the zoom and brightness of this lens, but the design is just to poor to allow for that. If you change the zoom, you have to change the focus. However, the ring on this lens that controls the focus, has a set screw locking the lens into position. Effectively, the zoom capability is almost useless due to the need to loosen the focus ring set screw, change the zoom, get into focus, and finally re-tighten the focus ring set screw. The sad thing is, I have another zoom lens that is built properly where zoom, brightness, and focus, each have their own adjustment ring. My only problem is that the mount diameter is too small. I need an adapter. Alas and alack! When used like any other fixed focus lens the 16MP camera picture quality is pretty good, hence the three stars.
