I lost 2 days trying to make it work. On windows 7,8,9 and 2 different computer. The drivers do not work or camera is faulty. I read some reviews and I heard that other peoples have this issue. I will return it.

Warning: Do not buy this camera for use with Linux!
I bought this camera because it was one of the few where Linux was mentioned under supported operative systems.
I ordered the camera mid Februar, it was shipped the very next day, and I had it within a week. Quick and efficient.
The box contained the camera body, an 1.25" adapter, USB 3.0 cable and a software CD.
The camera body is of solid metal, of high quality machining.
Naturally the software on the CD primarilly is for Windows and Mac, but it also contains software for Linux.
The installation is a bit wierd as the usual distribution systems isn't used, instead the installation is a script containing a large blob. The installation must be run as administrator, and the root account must have a home directory (on my KUbuntu this was not the case, and the installation crashed).
The installation does not add an icon to the desktop or application menu (it does create an icon on the none existing root account's desktop).
The software on the CD did not detect the camera, neither did the software downloaded from the ToupTek home page.
ToupTek responded quickly to a mail, and sent me a link to a new version on Dropbox. Unfortunately this version crashed on startup, so did the two next versions.
For the last month ToupTek have not answered any of my mails.
The specifications for this camera is great, and I would love to try it on M3 or Saturn, unfortunately I do not have anything running either Windows or Mac, so for now I have this expensive paper weight!
Again: Do NOT buy this camera for use with Linux!
