Review of the Justice Visions Portable Scanner
Barry Brahier of hughsung.com has published a review of an innovative scanning solution that uses a camera to capture the images. The Justice Visions Portable Scanner is a camera mounted on a foldable arm that fits in a small bag for transport. The documents (or books) to be scanned are placed on any flat surface to which the scanner is attached and the scanner, which is essentially a copy stand, takes high resolution images. To get all the lowdown on this scanner check out the review.
There is actually a better way, but this page was interesting. I’ll keep to my portable PVC copystand with 5.2 MP digicam. ALL which is a lot cheaper.
