all good

I have been using this for nearly a year and have been very happy with it. I use it for hobbyist micro soldering and its great. I have no trouble seeing what I am doing. The extra lighting options are nice, but honestly I basically never use the worm lights on the side. Nice to have them, but if you want to save a few dollars you can get a model without them and you almost certainly won't miss them. My kids also like using it from time to time to look at things up close. This isn't the type of microscope where you can see cells, as I saw at least one questionable review stating, but it certainly works to see all the little details of insects or see the grooves in your finger prints. My very young daughter saw a speck of dirt one time in those groves on one of her fingers and now like to look at her hands after she washes them to see if they are really clean. It gets quite a bit of use around here. I would recommend keeping it plugged into power. If you are using it for brief periods like inspecting a circuit board and turning it off it will last for an ok amount of time, but drains pretty fast so if you are working on something more in-depth like recapping a retro console it might run out of power on you. It certainly has for me. I have not tested the recording quality on a larger screen, but looks the same to me playing back on the on-board display. It's not really a feature I use. The navigation is also a bit finicky getting between photo and video recording and then getting into the saved files the time I tested it. I have used the HDMI output briefly, and that worked fine, but did not see any value in using it. The 7" screen has been fine and created less of a disconnect in my head moving my tools around the board I am looking at when working on repairs. I would absolutely recommend this.

This works great but wish I had bought the 10" screen model.

I bought this as I already do small soldering projects and other small projects where I need to magnify things significantly. I have an older very expensive Bausch & Lomb stereo microscope but I have to shove my face against it just right and it's very awkward, needless to say. That and an LED-lit magnifying glass but that's a fixed magnification and not enough to do some of the really small stuff. With this unit, there's a nice display - and if I need a bigger display I can hook up a larger monitor to it via HDMI (even includes the cable!) Records video and stills to the included SD micro card as well. Heck, it even includes a remote so you don't disturb the unit trying to take a picture or video! The display itself is nice and clear, the extra little lights help plenty but the camera is pretty good about adjusting to brightness on its own. Focus is super easy to do and gets plenty clear enough for me to do my work. Geared riser works excellent and can give you an overall big picture or get down pretty close. Very helpful for soldering small surface mount electronics or working on watches. Runs off USB (doesn't include an AC adapter but I bought myself an extension cord/surge protector that has some USB outlets on it so I don't need a wall wart.) The ONLY complaint I have (and it's extremely minor) is the bolt used to tighten the geared riser is extremely tough (without a wrench.) I designed and 3D printed a simple knurled knob that gives you enough leverage to tighten/loosen the bolt without a wrench. That way I don't have to go run and dig in my toolbox for a wrench just to adjust it (if even necessary.) I will say that the base where the lights are has it's own battery, so you'll have to charge that separately (again, cable included at least!) but it's something you'll need to be aware of when using it. Best part is, I was able to show my 9 year old how to solder and he took to it like a pro after watching me do it on the microscope.

Great product! Great for checking coins.
