COMPANION DELUXE
The COMPANION 3 DELUXE is designed as a portable, multi-functional low vision aid that is an affordable alternative to CCTV, which is easy to use, and contained in a useful carry bag with shoulder strap, and weighs less than 1.5kg, and is powered by an integral rechargeable battery.
The COLOUR COMBI camera comes with 2 cameras - the lower camera has very high magnification similar to the EEZEE READER or COMPANION 3 EEZEE READER 2000, and the upper camera has approximately half the magnification when resting on the surface. The design of the COLOUR COMBI allows small amounts of writing to be done under the upper camera such as cheques and forms.
The COMPANION 3 DELUXE comes with the same functions as a COLOUR COMBI, except that it comes with an 8.4" screen with a flip-out stand that gives 6x - 12x magnification, and can be used in either colour or negative mode. Ideal for use where space is limited, such as libraries, offices or in hotel rooms - the dimensions of the screen when set up on flip-out stand are width 8.5", height 5.5" and depth 4.75". Unlike the other COMPANION 3 models, the COMPANION 3 DELUXE is battery-operated, which means that it can be used almost anywhere, such as public transport, shopping or out on school field trips.
Alternatively, if you want higher magnification, we supply a SCART connector so that you can get the same magnification you would with a COLOUR COMBI. With additional cables, you are also able to view colour pictures from digital cameras, camcorders and even DVD players using the 8.4" screen.
The functions of the COMPANION 3 DELUXE are increased further when purchased with a FLEXIBLE STAND (see ACCESSORIES), which allows hands-free functions and variable magnification with the upper camera. The range of uses is too numerous to mention, offering more options than any CCTV, but here are a few:
* Crosswords and Sudoku
* Reading recipes
* Sewing or knitting, including threading a needle
* Painting
* Applying makeup
