Awful... Feels like a hack, don't buy this one.
PostedDecember 29, 2011
Once I installed this I immediately regretted it. I agree with the others, it just DOESN'T WORK. The only positive thing i can say is the device "looks cool" . I see how they intended on this to work; Put a lens on the front of the Kinect that's like looking through a pair of binoculars the wrong way and viola!!!! The kinect now thinks you're further away! Ummm this didn't work as well as they hoped. What they don't tell you is, now you MUST play 40% closer. Now 6 feet away is almost too far while using the Zoom. Body tracking decreases if not completely failed unless you stand 1 foot away. There was a black halo around the viewing space in the kinect monitor at the bottom right of the dashboard... My kinect was scratched a little upon installation. Need I say more? This was a FAIL for Nyko, I usually love their products. I'm returning mine as soon as I finish typing this. Buy something else with your 30 bucks!

DEFINITELY WORTH MY $30
PostedDecember 29, 2011
We have a small living room, and large furniture, had to stand right up against the recliner to do anything. not good for exercising running, jumping, etc. Happened to see this thing in teh store and thought "Hey, worth a try." I don't know what everyone's problem is. THIS THING IS AWESOME!!!! Make sure you CLIP it on properly and MAKE SURE TO RECALIBRATE YOUR KINECT. Even before my hubby calibrated it it was picking him up and didn't have any trouble selecting options or anything. DEFINITELY WORTH MY MONEY, AND MAKE PLAYING IN OUR NARROW LIVING ROOM WAY BETTER! THANKS FOR SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT! (now we just have to get more kinect games :) we got the kinect for xmas and only have 2 games )!

Zoom works well
PostedDecember 28, 2011
My daughter wanted the Kinect for Christmas but my family room / play area is not very large. To play the Kinect properly as sold by Microsoft, all the furniture in the room (couch, side table, coffee table, lamp, etc) would need to be removed. So I purchased the Zoom. It works as advertised, but does require adequate lighting in the room for it to work well. A tip: do not have room lighting behind the player, but have the lighting to the sides and front of the player(s).
Installation was a snap (it is well designed) literally. Using it, I only need move the coffee table and an ottoman out of the way (we need to move the Ottoman for many Wii games as well).

Worked wonders for me
PostedDecember 27, 2011
I read all the bad reviews and was really hesitant about getting it but made sure I could return it if it didn't work. Well. I've got to say I was pleasantly surprised. I set it up according to its instructions placing it between 2.5-4 feet off the floor and then played my Zumba game. It tracked me perfectly the whole time and was never choppy. I'm glad I went ahead and bought it because it finally made playing my kinect in a small space enjoyable. I stand probably about 4.5 feet from my kinect when playing. I have nothing to gain by writing a good review I just wanted to post saying that it worked incredibly well for me.
