Hello,
Ok I just played with the Magnus HD ZIP on my desk. Short conclusion : won't buy it.
The image quality is not that great especially when you zoom in.
The product itself is very good, simple, easy to use (the manual focus is nice to have), but not as good as I expected.
The good point is there is no delay at all, tested with my camcorder at the same time, the Magnus is faster, with the camcorder you can feel a slight delay. I still have to test with an iron if this is a problem or not.
Anyway, they have quite good binoculars in their catalog, might probably go that route and keep the camcorder on the arm for some usages.
He also talked to me about the Metcal soldering irons ... seems nice, next time he'll bring one for me to test.
Thomas.
