@OnionSoup@Zebra I dunno, maybe Meh is having an identity crisis. There are gag gifts like bluetooth speaker coffee makers (almost bought) and this, then there are things like my Incase backpack which I LOVE and got a great deal on.
@sammydog01 I wasn’t really trying to promote the product (I had clicked the Meh button — 30 sec. video clip limit is useless), but after looking for quality samples from my own research I thought I’d share my findings with others.
That said, I still don’t know what @Hanky was referring to, unless it was just a juvenile joke. (I’m fighting through a head cold so I’m a bit slow to pickup on things right now)
@sammydog01 I figured that’s what he meant. It just surprised me at its randomness and I feared I may have missed something within the videos, especially the playlist vids because I hadn’t watched them all before posting. I had to go back and watch/rewatch them all to make sure I hadn’t inadvertently posted something that I shouldn’t have. LOL I should have known it was just an attempt at a joke.
Got one last time. Sharp 5 mp camera the size of a pencil stub. Beats the crap out of those Chinese “world’s smallest” novelty cameras. I never use it on my glasses.
I coined the phrase “Some times you feel like Ansel Adams, other times you feel like Andy Warhol” for my book on using digital cameras. This tiny thing definately has a LOMO feel about it for those times when you wanna be Andy. Yeah, there is a higher res version, but this thing takes up no more space than pocket lint and (as long as you don’t strap it to your head) is practically invisible to most people. Just don’t take it to North Korea.
@sammydog01 I don’t do videos. I do stills, and it holds 100.
It is kinda wide and fixed focus and you can palm it in your hand. Fun for taking a photo of something absurd in a store for my site. The adapter on display that “turns your phone into a real camera” comes to mind. Or Walmart people (which I don’t do). There are just times when whipping out even a compact camera will not be appreciated.
@Fen_Star I’m also curious on this. I want to strap it to a rocket, but if it will only record 30 seconds before I have to push the button again it’d be totally useless for that.
@Fen_Star@GLaDOS Wow, that sounds pretty sweet! Just like in the video, I can douche it up bringing and attaching my fully charged up pogocam to record a whole three minutes of drinking fancy coffee or visiting the beach. Wow…the memories to look back upon and say, “My god, the resolution is so shit that I can’t make out a thing.”
@eeterrific We already have a real dog - a Siberian Husky. Chihuhua came from my parents. You know when old people decide to start downsizing and just wrap stuff from their house and give it away as presents? That’s basically how we got it…
Real Talk: What’s currently the best option out there for recording videos via sunglasses or similar? Snap Spectacles 2? Google Clips Camera? Go Pro glued to face?
wel, got mine a few days ago…and have to say I am pleased. The camera and charging case worked great and the pics aren’t half bad. You need to go to their website to really get a full understanding of how it works and all…but overall very saistified with my MEH purchase…oh, and don’t forget to take off the little sticky lens protector off the camera…here is a sample pic…
@susanrm and i believe there are two boxes in the envelope. one for the camera, the other for the glasses. sorry, i don’t remember more specifically, i ordered them for a friend and gave them to him before i opened it.
@susanrm sorry to hear that…let us know if it ever shows up…
BTW, the PO can do in internal scan as well…and they can tell you, by the tracking number, if it got delivered to someone else as the little carrier blue box thingy they carry records time and place it got delivered to…
@fastharry yes, they have tried that a few times but the only thing that shows up is that a big truck scanned it as arriving at their post office, but it was never scanned at their location. Right now the system just says it’s on its way. The post office doesn’t have any more info than I do.
Honest question for those that might own something similar. I own a small business that includes junk removal, such a removing furniture, appliances, garage clean outs. Would this be something that would seem worth it to invest in? I’ve thought about just setting up a tripod, the iPhone X shoots in 4K anyways.
@yerti For pretty much any business purpose I can think of (making time-lapse videos for marketing, recording work so that you have a record of what was taken and/or damaged or not), your phone on a tripod is probably a better option. The limited field of view and quality on something like this means it’s definitely more toy than tool.
I got these the last time Meh had them. Video and pics they capture are ok - which is to say what I expected. The controls are horrible though and the beeps are such a low volume the camera was really hard to use in my environment (driving).
The lithium polymer batteries…wonder what kind they are exactly. I take it they can be removed. So…
Glasses - $3
USB C cable - $3
Batteries - $?
If you know what the configuration of the batteries are, and they can be used elsewhere…plus the “smart case” has some kind of storage. Maybe the sum of the parts makes it worthwhile??
You really have to “think outside the glasses” and want to do still shots -no videos- to find these remarkable little devices amusing. My 1st 5 MP camera cost $1,200.
This website will be dead soon…this is seriously the bottom of the barrel. You could buy five of these p.o.s if you really wanted to from Ali or some other crap site. The Amazon numbers are just from backyard importers using those same sites and acting as a middle man
@msujp Actually, this is nothing like the real crap cameras on Ali or Wish. Just an ill-conceived concept. They probably should have housed them in a lipstick case or pen for people who like to take candids.
Shirley you’re joking! At 51% negative (1+2☆ reviews) and only 44% positive (5+4☆), this item is about 35% below my “buy” threshold. Now, if these were true X-ray specs…
The pictures do upload to my laptop but do not too 2 android phones after i downloaded their app it does not work , nice glasses but disappointed big time about not being able to upload to the phone
@RiotDemon cool, as long as they eventually see it. worried it was since i did it so late at night. offhand (& unofficially!), do you know what normally happens with lost items? Could Meh send a replacement at half-price or something? I was oddly excited to try this thing out for some reason
39% one star reviews…Go MEH!
Meh is on fire lately. First Bluetooth coffee makers and now this.
Not buying… But this is the kind of crap I want to see meh selling.
@OnionSoup
@OnionSoup @Zebra I dunno, maybe Meh is having an identity crisis. There are gag gifts like bluetooth speaker coffee makers (almost bought) and this, then there are things like my Incase backpack which I LOVE and got a great deal on.
Surprised it’s usb c.
@username Wow, that is almost worth the price itself. The rest of the package must really be Meh!
Here’s a sample video clip:

@Kerig3 You missed the money shot!
@Hanky ???
@Kerig3 That is kind of cool but the videos give me motion sickness.
@sammydog01 I wasn’t really trying to promote the product (I had clicked the Meh button — 30 sec. video clip limit is useless), but after looking for quality samples from my own research I thought I’d share my findings with others.
That said, I still don’t know what @Hanky was referring to, unless it was just a juvenile joke. (I’m fighting through a head cold so I’m a bit slow to pickup on things right now)
@Hanky @Kerig3 Thanks for the clips. I would giphy money shot for you but @Thumperchick would get mad at me. You can look it up on your own.
@sammydog01 I figured that’s what he meant. It just surprised me at its randomness and I feared I may have missed something within the videos, especially the playlist vids because I hadn’t watched them all before posting. I had to go back and watch/rewatch them all to make sure I hadn’t inadvertently posted something that I shouldn’t have. LOL I should have known it was just an attempt at a joke.
the most valuable / useful thing in the box is the usb-c cable.
Oddly, I need a pair of cheap sunglasses and I also like obsolete gadgets.

Does’t make coffee? not 220v? no Bluetooth? no WiFi?no Purple color? I’m out !
I’ve always wanted one of these because I’m an idiot. Luckily tonight I am also a broke idiot and will not be wasting $14
The sunglasses are $14, but the face punches will be free free free!
@hchavers Quick, someone call Nathan Phillips.
Am I the only one that bought these only for the sunglasses?
@silveropal3 You just talked me into it.

Got one last time. Sharp 5 mp camera the size of a pencil stub. Beats the crap out of those Chinese “world’s smallest” novelty cameras. I never use it on my glasses.
@radi0j0hn Have any photo or video samples you can share?
@radi0j0hn Pics or it didn’t happen
Did you notice that there’s a dog in that last picture?
I coined the phrase “Some times you feel like Ansel Adams, other times you feel like Andy Warhol” for my book on using digital cameras. This tiny thing definately has a LOMO feel about it for those times when you wanna be Andy. Yeah, there is a higher res version, but this thing takes up no more space than pocket lint and (as long as you don’t strap it to your head) is practically invisible to most people. Just don’t take it to North Korea.
@radi0j0hn An expert! Yay! Is 30 seconds really enough time to record anything? What do you use yours for?
@sammydog01 I don’t do videos. I do stills, and it holds 100.
It is kinda wide and fixed focus and you can palm it in your hand. Fun for taking a photo of something absurd in a store for my site. The adapter on display that “turns your phone into a real camera” comes to mind. Or Walmart people (which I don’t do). There are just times when whipping out even a compact camera will not be appreciated.
@sammydog01 If you have a habit of “whipping it out” in stores you’re gonna get arrested!
A USB-C cable AND a pair of sunglasses for 15 bucks? I’m in, I just have to figure out what to do with that other crap.
Just got notified that the package will be delivered today!! Here’s hoping.
@susanrm Yes! They found it behind a desk!
@sammydog01 let’s see if anything remains in the package, lol
And to think if only I didn’t buy Google Glass.
So it’s trying to be google glass? Looks more like google ass
@nolrak The price makes it Frugal Ass.
@nolrak @TBoneZeOriginal And the quality makes it cheap ass.
What were these selling for before? $30? I think I have been hosed…
@Dizavid $24 last time, just looked up my order
Can it only take 30s of video at a time?
@Fen_Star Who has the attention span to watch a video longer than 30 seconds these days?
@Fen_Star I’m also curious on this. I want to strap it to a rocket, but if it will only record 30 seconds before I have to push the button again it’d be totally useless for that.
@Fen_Star @SoCalChrisW Rocket, now there’s an idea. I was always envious of the old Estes still and movie camera rockets.
@Fen_Star Yup only 30 second recordings, 6 recordings at a time before filling up.
@Fen_Star @GLaDOS Wow, that sounds pretty sweet! Just like in the video, I can douche it up bringing and attaching my fully charged up pogocam to record a whole three minutes of drinking fancy coffee or visiting the beach. Wow…the memories to look back upon and say, “My god, the resolution is so shit that I can’t make out a thing.”
I bit, lol…Nothing better than a POS MEH camera taking a vid of the POS MEH drone delivered yesterday.
(Disclaimer…the drone isn’t that bad)
My chihuahua keeps pooping on the floor. Think I could shove this up his butt to know when his next poop time is going to happen?
@mexifinn
Have fun reaching in for the SD card …
@mexifinn Why a chihuahua? Couldn’t afford a real dog?
@eeterrific We already have a real dog - a Siberian Husky. Chihuhua came from my parents. You know when old people decide to start downsizing and just wrap stuff from their house and give it away as presents? That’s basically how we got it…
After reading the reviews, I would still be hesitant at 10 bux…
Real Talk: What’s currently the best option out there for recording videos via sunglasses or similar? Snap Spectacles 2? Google Clips Camera? Go Pro glued to face?
Remember to smile… When you do the creep.

Can anyone send me a photo of what your package looks like? Also general size? My local post office seems to have misplaced mine.
@susanrm Funny, most women don’t want anyone to send them pictures of their package, let alone tell them how big it is.
@cinoclav @susanrm guy that I’m with, hell yeah, send that to me.
Random stranger or mild acquaintance… Fuck off.
@cinoclav @riotdemon not helpful or funny. I’m trying to track down my lost product.
@susanrm to be serious, they ship in plain brown boxes or envelopes. Probably not very helpful for the post office to find.
Try meh.com/support
@susanrm if you go to https://meh.com/orders you can click on the tracking, then shipment info. It should have a size listed.
@RiotDemon That would be nice, wouldn’t it? But no. And I had thought of that. All it tells me is “parcel select.”
Trying to find out if it was shipped in an envelope or box. At least as a starting point.
@RiotDemon @susanrm mine came yesterday in i think the white buble wrap envelope…wrapped tightly around the box
@jaybird Thank you! That’s helpful.
@susanrm and i believe there are two boxes in the envelope. one for the camera, the other for the glasses. sorry, i don’t remember more specifically, i ordered them for a friend and gave them to him before i opened it.
@jaybird @susanrm yes, one of those white zip packs like the others have said…with 2 boxes…
@susanrm Here ya go Susan…Fished the bag out of the trash…Good Luck!!
{Photo removed for info}
@fastharry That’s awesome, thanks so much! I will contact the PO again tomorrow and let them know.
VAN GOGH! MANGO! TANGO! AWESOME!
@fastharry I can see your address, want me to delete the photo?
@RiotDemon yes please,
@fastharry done.
@RiotDemon thank you!
@susanrm here is one you can show the PO…without my address showing, lol…Thanks @Riotdemon
Well everyone, it’s well and truly lost… sigh.
@susanrm meh.com/support
@susanrm sorry to hear that…let us know if it ever shows up…
BTW, the PO can do in internal scan as well…and they can tell you, by the tracking number, if it got delivered to someone else as the little carrier blue box thingy they carry records time and place it got delivered to…

@susanrm ok…keep us posted…hope you get it…
Honest question for those that might own something similar. I own a small business that includes junk removal, such a removing furniture, appliances, garage clean outs. Would this be something that would seem worth it to invest in? I’ve thought about just setting up a tripod, the iPhone X shoots in 4K anyways.
@yerti For pretty much any business purpose I can think of (making time-lapse videos for marketing, recording work so that you have a record of what was taken and/or damaged or not), your phone on a tripod is probably a better option. The limited field of view and quality on something like this means it’s definitely more toy than tool.
@yerti I would just wait till you find one in a junk removal job. Seems pretty likely based on reviews you’ll find one.
@Aspirant_Fool @yerti unles you buy one which would make you a fool and a tool…
@Aspirant_Fool @fastharry thanks guys
@yerti “junk removal” is a harsh way to describe buying Meh stuff
@yerti The camera itself can only record six 30 second clips at a time before filling up. To be clear, it records only 30 seconds at a time.
Toys!
@blaineg I blew my toy budget yesterday.
@blaineg And… I just ordered a pair.

@jcauseyfd you wear it driving? Do you have one of those boom mic headsets on the other side of your face?
@johnnyflet I did not when I was trying it out last year. A headset would not interfere with the camera though.
The lithium polymer batteries…wonder what kind they are exactly. I take it they can be removed. So…
Glasses - $3
USB C cable - $3
Batteries - $?
If you know what the configuration of the batteries are, and they can be used elsewhere…plus the “smart case” has some kind of storage. Maybe the sum of the parts makes it worthwhile??
I really don’t need this, and my wife would say no. So I’ll have it shipped to work.

Shot with one. Unedited.
To be clear: this camera is only capable of video recording 30second clips.
You really have to “think outside the glasses” and want to do still shots -no videos- to find these remarkable little devices amusing. My 1st 5 MP camera cost $1,200.
Yay hooray, the package had its contents, and everything works! Late but okay. That’s an improvement over my Roomba experience, LOL!

Wow I don’t think I’ve seen something with so many bad reviews. 39% or 17 1 star reviews. Great deal but wow that product.

@lemonswithsalt they take a little while and don’t work weekends.
