Here’s what users are saying

"Having recently used the Orbit Recast, it is a fantastic tool to add functionality to existing document cameras. I attached my Solo8 to the Recast and it has been a fantastic addition. Using the Recast device has given me the flexibility of movement. My students were working on an art project that I was able to direct using this tool. It gave me freedom to move around and share other examples from students without them having to move. The Orbit Recast is intuitive in its use. I did not have to read any directions and was able to use it without much effort at all."
