Scanything camera recommendations - GoPro??

Post by chadmjohn »

What camera(s) would you recommend for Scanything? Preferably something availably via Amazon here in the US if at all possible?

Could a gopro be used, assuming image stabilization was disabled?

I've had very good success with ELP cameras, such as this https://www.amazon.com/ELP-2-8-12mm-Var ... hdGY&psc=1
Even lighting is very important and these cameras don't have a built in light. I've found car LED ring lights work well as they fit over the lens giving a nice bright light with few shadows https://www.amazon.com/EverBright-Cotto ... 9tdGY&th=1

A GoPro probbaly won't work. They have onboard processing which delays the image. This latency causes problems for Scanything.
