Good product to trace drawings. I searched in the internet sketches I liked, for trace using the drawing board. This equipment helps me managed to trace/draw a shade of a Tiffany lamp style sketch. I follow instructions attached. Is very easy to assembly and un assembling. Item doesn’t comes assembly. I tried equipment using iPhone 7 plus and results were as expected. Trace obtained was almost the same from the original sketch, is great that you can draw nice object without knowing so much to draw. This product gives you the idea for start drawing and help you in hand coordination while you’re tracing. Good product. I used with adequate light on. Comes with a app that I never used, I will download later, I think is a app with some sketches examples for using, you can also search your own sketches like me.

I am a horrible drawer! This makes my life so easy. Tracing with this product is very simple. Its basically just a reflection and you can outline anything you want. Print it off and go for it. Great idea. I had no clue it would work this well. It does take practice though so dont thingk you are going to be Picasso out the gate!
This product is just too easy to use and a lot of fun. You do not have to be able to draw to enjoy it. I turn my smart phone upside down and place it in the slot. For me, and I am right handed, it is more comfortable to turn the holder where the image is shown to the right, rather than straight on in front of me. I have seen reviews stating people who use it are not drawing, they are merely tracing. So what? I do not think anyone who uses it intends to claim artistic greatness, nor will it will ever make an artist out of anyone who cannot draw, but it is fun to play with. One piece of advice: use a little piece of tape to secure the paper on which you are drawing so it will not slip, because, once it slips the least bit, it is very difficult to get your drawing paper back in the exact place it was when you started.

I thought it would be larger. I should have read the dimensions. It works for me for small sketches. The plexiglass needs to be a little darker then your item that you are copying will show up much better. I'll keep it.
A very simple optical trick, using semi-reflective plastic held at just the right angle. It doesn't project the image onto the paper, but instead it is a partially transparent mirror that both reflects and lets you see through it at the same time. You position it in such a way that you're looking at both the reflection and the paper at the same time allowing you to "trace" the image that appears to be floating above the page.
A modernized take on this old toy with a "cell phone stand" to use a phone as the original image. Could also double as an actual cell phone stand. Flat pack plastic easily puzzle-pieces together to form a sturdy stand.
This is a great little tool for tracing. There are a couple of awful phone apps that purport to do this -- if you position and balance your smartphone/tablet just so, preferably on a contraption you need to buy in addition to the app, or, as they suggest, atop a glass of water -- yeah, right. This physical object does it much better, and it also has an app with minimal features that edit an image in all the ways I actually need, with none that don't. I've tried it on a couple of images with my iPhone 11, and it works great. I'll try it with an iPad tomorrow, and I'm sure it'll be fine. It preemptively answers the question "What if I need a bigger image?"; it tells you up front to make sure the stand is level with the paper; and, if you haven't figured it out, here's a tip: the less ambient light the better you can see the projection on white paper, back lit only with your device's light. Also: close one eye, it will help you conflate the projected line with the line you are drawing underneath it on paper.
A great buy. I saw it first advertised by a fancy startup art supply brand for $49.99, and this one is exactly the same but without the brand logo. Even the app is exactly the same: I see the stock drawings from the app on the page of the fancy brand, which I like, so it shall remain nameless. I am very pleased with this device.
my little budding artist loves this "cool" thing to do tracing and sketching. With my help, she set it up with great enthusiasm and enjoys drawing all sorts of things when she has spare times.
So this was easy to set up and use. I actually really like the case it came in. keeping to keep storing in it when not using. Very nice. Then the pieces are easily put together and I can see my screen reflected fine and can trace. Can't do large items because it is only so big but that is ok. I also used not a device. You can't see the reflection of a photo if it is just there. But if you shine a light at your paper it reflects and then you can see it for tracing as well. So it works good for more than just phone, as long as you have light. I think this is pretty neat and easy to use. I actually got it thinking of my 5 yr old. He loves coloring and drawing and I thought he might like this too. He was excited when I showed him. He doesn't trace as well as I would but the practice is good!
My rating 5 star - I really like this item, really made me go wow you should get this 4 star- I like this item and it is fine, but didn't go wow you need this 3 star- this item is alright but has a few flaws 2 star- quiet a few flaws I would totally go somewhere else 1 star- junk no good don't waste your time.
The App that goes with this is not user friendly....it starts off as a free trial only (you don't know that until that time expires) and trying to buy the app, well I am still trying to figure out how & how much it is. Even though I chose English as my language once the trial period is over it reverts to a version of Chinese that I can't get it to translate for information. Regretting this buy.
The assembly was so simple!!! Came the next day in the mail! I was skeptical from the mixed reviews but figured for the price of it, if it worked I’d be super happy! It does exactly what it says! It holds my iPad without the case perfectly. Stand behind it for best results! I did not have scratches on the plastic plate, at all, it was in perfect condition! The case it comes in is perfect for storing it when not in use! I will be using this for cookie and cake designs. The possibilities are endless! I’m so excited and definitely recommend! Thinking of gifting to my kids who love to draw. Worth the purchase!
