Brush Cam from MicroMark

For only $80 you too can hang a big old honkin' magnifying camera on the end of your brush. What this thing does that a decent magnifier doesn't already do (for a lot less money) is beyond me.

I fail to see how this would help your painting surely it would affect the balance of your brush. Not for me, thanks.

Yes that was my immediate thought as well.

It looks a bit gimmicky to me - one of those things you might use once or twice until you quickly realise that it's actually bit rubbish, and you'd have been no worse off if you'd set fire to the money instead.

I'll stick with my trusty optivisor!

Would be handy if it magnified the figure while keeping the brush the same size...perhaps that’s the ‘deluxe’ version...!

Ridiculous product idea. I’m sure many won’t last long...at some point the thing will be dipped in water with the brush. But perhaps that gives interesting imagery.

The issue with these is the latency. It is around .5 to 1 second delay. So you do not get real-time images.

About as useful as boobies on a fish, to paraphrase an old saying.

Prost!

Looks pretty silly to me!

Actually, Its looks quite interesting.. I can seeing more clearly how I muck up the face painting... Has anyone tried this yet.. I would be interested to know from a true painter if it was another gimmick or a possibility....

Actually I could see this attached to a pair of mini clippers for trimming nose hair...yes I could see that!
