My son received the spiderman 2 wireless video camera as a birthday gift and he was very excited. We followed the directions carefully and were very dissapointed to find out that we had a defective camera. It would not transmit to the tv. After exchanging the camera, we were lulled into a false sense of excitement as the second one did not work either. Undaunted, we called the 1-800 number listed on the package. Although very friendly, they were unable to help or diagnose the problem. Very frustrating. This is a very expensive toy and the frustration we felt was huge. I would not recommend this toy. In fact we returned it took the money and bought something more fun. I hope others have had better luck than we did.

I purchased the videocam for $99 and my 6 yr old said it best..."That was a waste of our money!" We could not get it to work at all. The setup was simple, but what good is that if the toy does not function?! We tried on three tv's and two vcr's. The best response we got was static on one of the tv sets.

My seven year old son saved the $99.00 for months in order to buy this toy himself and was so excited when it came. He was extremely sad and disappointed when it didn't work. The instructions were very difficult to follow and made you think that if you just put new batteries in it, that it would magically work as well as they claimed. That just wasn't the case for us. Thankfully the return process was easy and we were able to purchase another toy.

the camera was purchased for christmas from Santa. although simple to set up the lens in the camera appears to the installed backwards. the video picture transmitts to the camera but with reverse magnification. the sound is present but uninteligable. The only value we found was the teaching opportunity of how electronics relate and can work if designed properly. Thanks to the Polar Express movie the Elfs took the hit for not building carefully, and we still believe in Santa

We purchased this for our 9 year old who was very excited to receive his "very own video camera". After we found a screwdriver small enough to put all the batteries in, it didn't work. We could see change in light but no picture, like a part was missing. Thank goodness my son took all of this very well. Very happy about how easy it was to return. Don't bother with this camera!!!

I bought this item, for Christmas, for my parents to give to my son. Later I read some reviews on the internet. I asked my parents to try it out because of the bad ratings. Sure enough, my parents had the same trouble as most. When my parents called the company, the company did not even try to talk my parents through troubleshooting, they just said " you can get your money back", I feel(my opinion) that they know this is a defective product due to the fact that they were unwilling to even try to help figure out the problem. The company should recall all of these items and save the public the hastle. I can just imagine the poor parents and children over christmas. This item has been reduced to $50 from $100. They should be paying us!!!! I am turning their name to the Better Business Burea. I would suggest you do the same.

I should have listened when i read the reviews,but i didnt.I went out and bought this video camera for my sons and when we hooked it up nothing.The screen was static and i couldnt even get the remote to work.We returned the camera to the store the next day,my kids were very dissapointed.Dont buy this product,listen to all the reviews.

This toy simply does not work, and as it was a "Santa Claus" present, that made for a big disappointment in our house. Amazon made doing a return very easy, but that does not compensate for "Santa" giving such a shoddy product. In contrast, a completely non-electronic skittles set works just like you remember it from childhood. There's a lesson in here somewhere. . .

We bought this for my 8 year old for Christmas. He has been wanting a video camera and I thought this would be great! However, I cannot get it to work. I have tried 3 different televisions and 2 different vcrs in our house. We are so dissapointed! We are sending it back as soon as the post office opens!!!

I bought the Spider-Man wireless video camera for my six-year-old son for Christmas. He absolutely loves it! While it's limited to indoor use, my son enjoys filming himself and other family members in action. As for educational value, we can't take it to the t-ball park and later critique his swing technique, but it's useful for journaling science projects. The set-up is easy to follow: plug in the jacks, set the tv tuner, and turn it on! Our only (minor) problem was interference with other wireless devices in our home.
