Slim, easy to see and read front panel buttons, versatile multi function software. It may be inexpensive but it works very well. Used primarily in the the "ScanGear" mode to copy black and white documents for work. Multiple modes include: Auto, Document, Photo, OCR, Stitch, ScanGear and PDF Editor.


Excellent on all levels. Exactly what I was looking for. Got the looks, quality made, highly recommend. I have limited space and needed to mount my 22" on something which I could move to the side when not used. I've looked at few products trying to judge their quality by pictures mostly. Ergotron stood out very quickly. The company seems to specialize in these kind of things, which is a plus. I was impressed by the detailed specifications they have of their products, including this one, on their web site. From the documents you know exactly what to expect dimension wise. Sturdy, tough, adjustable. I love it so much and the flexibility it offers to position the monitor at any height and distance so that it's just perfect that I will quite likely use it for all my monitors in the future. Watching a move and you want to have the monitor closer, done. Reading the web, so the monitor can't be too close (should be at arms length), just push it back.




I got this thing a while ago and still use it all the time. I have a gaming laptop so I wanted something to put it on off my legs, as it gets pretty hot. This has vents on the bottom to keep air flowing. If I am on it for a while I can plug in the USB fans, too. I am a big guy and wanted something adjustable. I can tweak this however I want it, and use it on the couch or in bed. The side mouse tray is adjustable and plenty big.












We transfered 30 old 8 mm 3 inch reels to digital in 2 days. Easy set up and use. Very happy with results.

Ten years ago I spent $400 on a scanner to digitize photos I had taken several decades back when preserving photos meant storing slides and negatives in a box. I installed software and fussed with the process over a period of several days, and digitized a few dozen before burning out on the process. Recently I pulled that scanner out and found that, since I've upgraded my PC, I could no longer get all the software and hardware to talk to one another. I sold my old scanner for about the same amount as this Magnasonic unit cost, and boy, am I glad I did! Using this device requires no software, no learning curve to speak of, and only a USB cable and an SD card to get scans to my PC. The process is an order of magnitude easier than before, and i'm screaming through my pile of pictures. I do have other software for cropping and other adjustments (I use paint.net, a freeware tool), but the Magnasonic scanner makes quick work of the critical transition from film to a .jpg file. The slide holder needs to be removed and loaded with each slide individually, but this process is easy to master. The film cartridge allows film strips to be fed in and pushed/pulled through to center each image in the screen. Flipping the image left/right or top/bottom is as easy as pressing a button. Changing the mode from slide, negative, or black/white is also very easy and intuitive. I didn't even need to consult the manual. if you don't already have an SD card, you will need one. The unit records the file to the SD card, and once you have done a batch, you move the card to your computer for final processing, renaming, and organizing however you wish. I do a few boxes of slides or rolls of film at a time this way. I wish I had this device a decade ago! It has paid for itself already. Soon I'll run out of film to digitize and may pass it on to a friend or family member.
