Adjustable Microscope Arm 130x Zoom C Mount Lens Camera Light, 48MP 4K 1080P HDMI USB Digital Camera Industrial Video Microscope Mount Repair Soldering Stand Clamp (48MP Set)

The camera is a lot smaller then I expected, it is very well crafted, even the lens is well made. It all aluminum, the focus knob is nice to turn , it welcomes you to turn it .. it clean and very persistent.. I can’t give the words how happy i am with this microscope , Im up set I didn’t order long time ago ..

The camera works fine, but the boom arm is cheesy. If you keep the boom arm, throw away the plastic clamp and buy a metal one.

I only got it set up today and got to play with it for a couple hours.In the photos, you can see this 48MP microscope displaying an image of the Benchmark Tools 466514 through a Sceptre 22" 1080p monitor. (You'll have to pardon the clutter. It was an involved install process in tight quarters.)Really, I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. The focal length on this thing is amazing. You can see I'm zoomed in on the 1/64th marks on that rule without any added lighting. While the picture is a little grey, I can vouch that with added lighting, the colors get a lot more vivid. Plus that's just a black & white ruler on a black mat. And that's from a solid 18", maybe closer to 20" or so above my work surface.Some people complain about the price. Some people complain about the arm. Yeah, the arm's not the greatest. But you're not really paying for the arm. Right? You can nitpick anything. The remote didn't come with a battery. The power and HDMI cables could be a little longer. They didn't even throw in an SD card. All that stuff's pennies, but whatever. I don't have to try and manipulate parts under a Luxo binocular scope with a 3" focal length at the magnification I need any more.As long as it doesn't die in like a week, I'm happy as can be.

The quality of the arm is horrible

I was able to complete my work with this setup but not without annoyances. The arm for this is really weak and the camera is constantly bouncing around from light movement on the desk. Just the action of my hand slighting moving as I solder had the camera shaking with me constantly grabbing the thing to make it stop moving. The focal window is also very small with this camera so if it starts moving, you go out of focus easily. I found myself constantly needing to refocus this camera. You either need a desk that has literally zero movement to it or this needs to be mounted to something off the desk or it's going to be bouncing around while you're working.My second complaint is the lighting. This is advertised as having great, non-reflective lighting and it doesn't. The lighting is cool white LEDs instead of being warm white as they appear in the photo. These types of cool white LEDs have bad reflection and makes everything look like you're taking a picture with the flash on. I don't care for the LED lighting this came with this and feel it often gets in the way of my work if I want to position it where half the board isn't in the dark. It be a lot better if there was an LED ring attached to the camera instead. This is something I'll look into adding.This is the only arm clamp microscope I can find on Amazon so I'll keep and use it, but there is absolutely room for improvement. Better lighting and stronger arm that doesn't move would make this a great purchase. One last gripe is there's no way to power it off short of unplugging it. A power off switch seems like something pretty standard so I didn't consider it. Unplugging the power from the camera itself is a bad idea, as you'll slowly damage the power port and cable. I have this unit plugged into a power strip for my whole workbench so killing the entire power switch to turn the camera off isn't ideal. I'm going to look into buying an AC adapter to give the camera an individual off-switch. I should not be looking into buying and constructing all these things when the camera costs nearly $200. The price is kind of ridiculous.

I bought this product for the 1080p video output, which as best as I can tell in the product description is both via HDMI or USB.HDMI works - USB does not give me a camera option. Not sure if the thing needs SD card to be plugged in before giving me a webcam option or not.Language change setting only works for the language change option, it doesn't affect the rest of the menu settings, so I can't read what functions I'm changing, leaving me almost entirely stuck with defaults.Outside of that, the performance is what I expected.

Ordered this to do console repair / mods. Was a bit skeptical because there weren’t any real pictures of what the detail looks like when magnified, but this camera & lens combo did NOT disappoint! You can zoom in extremely close and still be able to focus the image with the adjustable lens. The menu is easy to navigate through and it surprisingly offers many options for adjusting the image (frame rate, auto exposure, white balancing, etc). This is also relatively compact for what it’s able to do!I would ask anyone who is on the fence about this camera to use my review as a testimony of positivity!

Just fired it up. It is connected to a 27inch 1080p monitor. I am using this camera to solder small parts onto a PC board (SMD devices). At about 1 foot from the lens to the work it has the perfect magnification for what I need to do and compared to a couple of other cameras I have tried, this one has a very clear image. The boom is surprisingly sturdy. The clamp hold the boom securely to my work surface and it is fairly easy to move the boom. Sort of wish the HDMI cable was a bit longer, but hey, does the job.
