This USB capture device uses the standard USB Video Capture driver that is included in most operating systems and should not require you to install the driver on the supplied CD.

Isabella E. ★★★★★

Plugging this into my telescope setup was way easier than I expected — the USB connection was rock solid from the first try. Finally got crisp, stable video of the Orion Nebula to share with my astronomy group without any dropped frames.

Nicholas ★★★★★

Finally got this hooked up to my Revolution Imager and the live feed is incredibly sharp. Being able to capture video directly to my laptop makes sharing moon shots with friends so much easier.

Benjamin ★★★★★

The USB plug feels sturdy, and the video feed from my telescope came through crisp on my laptop within seconds of plugging it in. I was worried about lag, but the capture is smooth enough to share real-time views without stutter.
