Has anyone tried to use this for locating lost eyeglasses? What size is the transmitter and what size is the receiver?

No I have not but it would be too heavy for the glasses themselves unless you stick a clicker on the case and keep your glasses in the case when not wearing them

The receiver and transmitter are of similar size, about the size of a modern car ignition key that includes a car door lock/unlock transmitter. The receiver is too large to attach to eyeglasses, but could be attached to a glasses case. My wife is considering doing this since she lost her glasses twice in a week :-) but it would only work if the glasses are in the case.

I only used it to find my wallet. It didn't help but the batter can be used in some calculators.

Skyscout is supposed to identify objects in the sky. Mine was pretty useless, working only on rare occasions. I gave up on mine long ago.

The software comes on a disk so unless you can find a download version you probably can't use this eyepiece. It may be useable with other 3 rd party software, but I know nothing about that. God luck and clear skies!

Pretty compact. The transmitter is 5 x 1.75 x .5 inches. The receiver is 3.25 x 1.75 x.5 inches. Phottix makes a smaller one called the Plato, but it does not have as many features.

Don't use it much anymore. When I did, I tested it and found it doesn't make much diff. The thing is, it's field of view widens as it gets further away. So if you measure something that is very small from a longer distance, you'll get a bad reading. When I used it, I was measuring small packages 5x8 inches from a very close distance like 1-2 ft. Sorry I can't be more help.

Sorry for the late reply as I was on vacation. Answer is Yes. I could use the smallest one for my glasses. Also tried on watch and my mac . It worked well.

I have the original size. It doesn't bother me and I don't see it anymore unless I want to. The distance depends on how well your eyes focus.Are you near or far sighted? I am very happy with it. it clips on to the left earpiece of my sunglasses.

Just go ahead and get the package. The Amazon price is so good. Yes, you will end up with extra transmitters, but maybe that is good because they are cheesy cheap little things. I have six glasses/transmitters.

Think line of sight. You can't see it your video isn't going to be seen either. If the reciever was in the elevator shift and the transmitter is mounted outside of the elevator so they can see each other. That will work. Look up cloverleaf antennas you will need them cheap drones makes one for 25 bucks it is worth it get a 600 mW transmitter and you will be good no distortion or washout.

The glasses do not communicate back to the unit; they are passive recipients of the synchronization signal from the IR emitter. As many glasses that can be in range to "see" the IR emitter should work.

Yes it will work. All that is important is the diameter of the eyepieces. They are either 1.25" like with this accessory kit, or 2". Also look at reviews for other kits as quality varies. The eyepieces in this kit are not particularly amazing. Find a friend with other eyepiece brands or designs and see how well they compare. I would suggest buying two really good eyepieces than a bunch of cheap ones.

Have only used the unit on a tripod. Any surveyor tripod will work with I believe a 5/8" thread. Have no experience using with a target detector, so don't know if audible. Sorry.

If large readout is the most important feature for you then LOL, my local bike shop won't sell them. They have a box full of returned units that failed.I've had zero problems with my Cateye, If you need a bigger display Bontranger has some good models.

Its possible to answer this only for direct distance with no objects between them. What range do you need and what kind of walls/ how many r u planning to have between the transmitter and receiver?

Jim,THe internal dimension of the eyepiece holder is 1.215 inches.It is threaded on the outside of the tube which is very short and made as part of the spotting scope.This scope probably will not work for what you want to do.The eyepiece screws in on the external thread,however the tunnel inside the eyepiece tube is only .800 inches deep before you encounter the mirror.If you need photos (closeups)contact me at gaiginsteve@gmail.com and I will send you a series of closeups of the ocular area.Hope this helpsSteve

Dont know eyepiece diameter. I found the entire unit too flimsy to use...cannot keep it steady and it is jerky changing position... buy a better one!

I don't wear glasses so I don't have a definitive answer. I would contend though that it would only cause an issue with the fact that the eye opening and field of view is pretty small unless you hold your eye right up to the eyepiece. It's very much like a pair of smaller binoculars. I will say for a lower priced unit, it is doing the job well. It's deffinitley not as high performing as some of the generation 3 models, but for my law enforcement work in the woods at night, it has done the trick. Good luck!
