you know it does have a giant instruction sheet that tells you to put the protective sticker on first. you didn't follow the product's instructions and now you're complaining about it...??
You are so fucking RIGHT!!!! My zoom was purchased last night!! Tried to get the tuner running and it just would not work. Said the hell with it, went to take it off and never the less!!! Got a scratch in my system!!
Hate it!! Doesn't work and will scratch your device!! Couldn't have said it in any better way!!! Great review video thanks, and I kick my ass for not watching this beforehand
This attachment distorts the immage coming through the kinect lenses and has a problem tracking body movements. If you are playing a game with an avatar like in Kinect Adventure the avatar will look like it is having a spasm attack even though you are standing completely still, it will not even be able to track your hand movement to select anything big waste of money. Luckily I was very carefull so I did not scratch my device. The lense protectors are impossible to put on even if you want to.
I just opened mine out the box d it did exactly what ur saying very poor product reduces sensor recognition and doesnt do anything near what it says it does on the box it actually makes it alot worse and less enjoyable ..IT Has Also Scratched my Kinect arghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!im really mad
exact problem here too. and don't listen to anyone else on what they think. scratched my kinect to hell. its not a big technical problem but it does make a great big eyesore. wish i woulda seen this before i bought this piece of crap. IGN can sucks it. tracking is horrible even after calibration.
My Zoom for kinect is terrible. I've followed all manuals, tried all angles, tried above TV, below TV, and the only effect I get is to get unrecognized 50% of the time. The game performance is poor, unresponsive. This is a downgrade to my kinect sensor. Even in a confined one-step-size playing area without your product is 100% better to play than with it. I'ts easier to play with my back stick to the wall than with zoom attachedt. That produt just makes kinect stupid.
The instruction says NOT TO SLIDE IT but NOPE, IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL... Should have seen this video before buying it...
Can't track shit even after calibrating it.. Anyone notice the difference in the image during the calibration green tracking screen? With and without the ZOOM.. Without it is much sharper and detailed but when the ZOOM is mounted the image is not sharp at all just fuzzy...
... the lenses weren't scratched so you shouldn't have made this video, and you probably didn't configure the kinect setting once you FIRST PUT IT ON.
Okay if you dont try to slide it on and rather clip it over at the lenses it wont scratch it. logical enough?
Mine was crap when first used with dance central; couldn't track my hand movements without a lot of effort. I CALIBRATED using the calibration card which comes with Kinect and most Kinect games and now its working fine! Still testing though.
it has not worked for me at all. it never tracked my movements. when i calibrate the kinect without the zoom i can clearly see what it is looking at, i can clearly see that my ceiling fan is a ceiling fan. with the zoom on everything is really messed up and everything looks bad, i can not tell my ceiling fan is a ceiling fan it looks more like a blocky object. i cleaned the lenses and it did nothing. personally i do not think this i a good buy. got it at bjs for 1699 after rebate.
the same exact thing happen to me on my kinect it scratch it, the first time i used it , and with the zoom on nothing worked well even do i did the calibring and everything, the kinect is better without DO NOT BUY
yeah i have this device and i had the same issue. it will scratch the kinet. i just doesnt work well with every game. i give this product a 6/10. not worth the money
Yeah it definitely scratched the kinect sensor plastic. i believe it even got my lenses. it sucks i paid 160+ bucks for my kinect and this thing has damaged it after nit even a day. i will be complaining to nyko. i want a new device. i am a little ocd. i like to keep my things nice looking even if it is 'purely cosmetic '.
someone made a good point to me so i retract my last statement and sorry for being an a hole but in my defense i will say that you shouldve checked otherreviews u might wouldve found the solution to your problem but again sorry for being an a hole cause for the simple fact i to wouldve been pretty ticked for somone saying what i said sorry for insulting u as a father also you might probably are a great father least u bought a vieo game to play with ur kids so iam appoligise for being an ass
@NOPOSFINEST Apparently I am not entitled to my opinion thus the numerous complaints about my video below. Anyways, for me it did not work. I placed it above and below my tv along with calibrating the Kinect Sensor again, tracking was better without the Zoom. It also scratched my sensor and while people can complain it was my fault the scratch happened after removing it 1 time. The instructions state to use the protector if you plan to remove the Zoom frequently.
@metagamers thank you for your opinion. i feel bad for your kinect though. this is a big flaw for nyko. they should have changed the instructions. i probably wont buy it because i dont want to put a sticker over my kinect. thank you.
I just bought a Kinect and a Zoom for it and mine works perfectly fine. You like the hundreds of others who have given the Zoom are just Technologically Challenged. It's ok. This is God's way of saying you shouldn't handle electronics. That's to include TVs, Video Games, etc. it's alright, maybe you should be Amish.
its good but it needs to be 2-4 ft off the ground and under ur tv it does work ive had no issues with it when done correctly but you dear sir have a case of the dumb asses for one u made it out like ur lenses were scratched but ur just a fucking moron i feel srry for ur kids cause there dad is a dumb ass and mine hasnt scratched shit it u and putting urself in retarded situation
@warlord19kilo and @FatedScythe777 just cause he sucked at the review or dident have it 2.4 ft off the ground under the television does not mean you can be mean to him. Just cause he did not do this stuff does not mean you go boss him around for not doing that stuff. Think if you were him and someone said your review sucked or your an idiot/moron for not putting it up 2.4 ft under his television! How mean are you guys?
Your review sucked dude. All you did was bitch about how it scratched the Kinect. And it didn't even hurt the lenses. I haven't found a review yet that actually talks about the effects the Zoom has on the Kinect.
Thanks for the warning I like the idea of thins other people say it works for them and theres plenty of people mentionong the damage doesnt come from the lens adaptors it is a fitting removal thing. NIce to see the 'Ive got nothing better to do than write negative comments on everybody elses videos squad' is still alive. I say thanks for the warning, and if your not happy with the 'review' do your own! Again thanks for the warning.
Ok sorry to say but in your video you stated that you did not use the screen protector, and then you complain that it scratched the Kinect, I got to ask were you surprised ....? Ok
i think fairplay to you, although im not bothered about scratching the plastic cover ( im sure the kids or dog will break it anyway) im more keen to find out if it works in a small room!
Clearly you did not read the instructions because it tells you to place sticker on kinect sensor, because they were aware of this happening, so don't even try to complain. Plus alot of people say the kinect zoom didn't work, but by looking at other videos, it worked perfectly because they took their time to calibrate it correctly...
Trust me you do not want this product. It scratched up my kinect all bad and it is not even that effective. Yes It does let you play closer but it reduces it's accuracy by a lot. It only works great with kinect adventures but that's it.
1 i dont usually comment on videos that often but it said to put that protective guard on incase you go to remove it and 2 did you make sure the light lit up through the light on the zoom? 3 did you calibrate it after you put it on then turned the system on? and 4 did you have it more then 4 feet off the ground/ i went to the website and it made a bunch of points on there and i have it my rooms big but long so i needed this and it worked
I don't understand why people are blaming you for not applying the protectors. The scratch is on the outside people! C'mon! Besides, the film's gonna wear off the first time you detach it anyway! Nyko, you could've put rubber rings on the lenses! I believe China would've made something using only plastic.
the zoom just blurs and ignores all corners and sides of the lense so it just focusses on the middle part...(supposedly where you should be) and it should work its just shitty and crappy if ur not living in a basement or a 2x2 m room :PP
You didn't installed the scratch protector and now you are complaining about a scratch? The instructions are very clear and the risk of scratch is very obvious. I can understand a complain where the is no advice about a possible damage, but in this case there is an advice and also a way to prevent it.
iCarbonsDOTcom make some really nice high quality skins for the Xbox 360. I emailed them about a skin for the Kinect and they said that they releasing one. Just a FYI if you want to use a skin to cover the Kinect sensor and protect it from future damage.
Btw, we got the Zoom on release day and have found that the Kinect works better without it. We should have waited for some reviews but We were sure it would work.
This is an F'in retard learn how to take it on and off and that wouldn't happen. And you do reviews on a regular? Not worth watching if there anything like this waste of two minutes of my life, four now cause I had to bitch.
Since so many people seem to have different opinions on this for those of you who do not have this product do you want me to do a giveaway of it? I only have one and the entry is simple, once you get it do your own video review. Thoughts?
@metagamers Excellent review! Thanks for pointing that flaw out. I've been to a few sites like amazon and newegg to read reviews and they are very mixed like you said. My new xbox slim came in so I swapped my kinect over to the new system. The tracking is much smoother then my elite (of coarse the slim was made to not necessarily out perform but handle things better). With that being said i was wondering if you or everyone else who are having issues with the tracking are using the older system?
@Dae19832454 But again it says "If the Zoom will be attached and removed regularly then place the included clear protective sticker over the front of the Kinect sensor as shown in Fig 1." I did not plan to remove so therefore I did not attach the sticker. Manual says to attach it IF the Zoom will be attached and removed regularly.
I'm not mad or upset about it just sharing that 1. it did not work for me and 2. they really should update the product so it does not do damage so easily.
@metagamers Still... common sense would probably tell you to maybe use it in case. If it can damage it by moving it on and off regularly then it can scratch it the first time. I think this review is a little harsh.
@Dae19832454 The damage is on the outside, and not the lens... imagine what would it do to the sticker even if you put it on... is it gonna wear off!?
They should probably soften up those lenses and offer more protection than just that film, but really... The fact that your kinect is scratched is your fault. Furthermore, you purchased this for your kids stepping out of frame, not because you have too small of a space to use the kinect in...
So you give the product a bad review for not fixing an issue that it was never designed to fix and for scratching your kinect when you didn't use the protection it provided you. Pretty terrible...
@blackorb1456 Regardless of why I bought it the fact is it still did not work even when I tried it. Also, and I quote from the instruction manual "If the Zoom will be attached and removed regularly then place the included clear protective sticker over the front of the Kinect sensor as shown in Fig 1. The Protective sticker will prevent potential markings on the front surface of the Kinect". Continued in next post...
@blackorb1456 The point is the manual clearly states to use the film IF you plan to remove regularly. I planned to put the zoom on and leave it on but once I found out it did not work I removed it once and the damage was done. They either need to 1) redesign with a soft foam around the lenses or 2) edit the manual to state the film is ALWAYS required otherwise you run the risk of damage. A well designed product should 1) work flawlessly & 2) not do damage under normal use. The Zoom does neither
Gees, that is horrible. I was thinking about getting one, but read some other reviews about issues with it. Thanks for the review, you saved me some grief.
you know it does have a giant instruction sheet that tells you to put the protective sticker on first. you didn't follow the product's instructions and now you're complaining about it...??

@Dae19832454 The damage is on the outside, and not the lens... imagine what would it do to the sticker even if you put it on... is it gonna wear off!?

They should probably soften up those lenses and offer more protection than just that film, but really... The fact that your kinect is scratched is your fault. Furthermore, you purchased this for your kids stepping out of frame, not because you have too small of a space to use the kinect in...
So you give the product a bad review for not fixing an issue that it was never designed to fix and for scratching your kinect when you didn't use the protection it provided you. Pretty terrible...

@blackorb1456 Regardless of why I bought it the fact is it still did not work even when I tried it. Also, and I quote from the instruction manual "If the Zoom will be attached and removed regularly then place the included clear protective sticker over the front of the Kinect sensor as shown in Fig 1. The Protective sticker will prevent potential markings on the front surface of the Kinect". Continued in next post...

@blackorb1456 The point is the manual clearly states to use the film IF you plan to remove regularly. I planned to put the zoom on and leave it on but once I found out it did not work I removed it once and the damage was done. They either need to 1) redesign with a soft foam around the lenses or 2) edit the manual to state the film is ALWAYS required otherwise you run the risk of damage. A well designed product should 1) work flawlessly & 2) not do damage under normal use. The Zoom does neither

I had one for 2 days then returned it. Did not work. Rendered Kinect useless. I don't think it scratched my Kinect.

they should put rubber lining or at least microfiber lining on the inside of the lenses to be easy on the kinect sensor
