Bysameyee4K 3840x2160P Wireless Digital Microscope, Handheld HD USB Inspection Camera Endoscope 50x-1000x Magnification, Compatible with iPhone iPad Android Phone Tablet Windows Mac (with Stand)

Full disclosure, I've only had this item for a couple hours, but I already am very impressed!I'm new to 3d printing and I'm struggling to get all the little maintenence items for just working on printed projects (debur tools, x-acto blades, loupes, calipers etc). I struggled with some of this (again, new to printing, not really sure what I do and don't want just yet), but of all the printer-y-things to arrive so far, this one is my absolute favorite!My experience was painless. I pluged it into my PC, opened up a USB camera application (in my case the built in windows camera application) and BOOM - instant success. The URL for the site on the instruction manual actually worked, and took me to a place I could actually download software, with actual instructions on how to do it (if I wanted to - for example windows camera tool doesn't provide proper measuring tools, so if you want accurate measurements from the digital view, you'll want to download one of these apps - after watching a YT video I'm confident I could put one in play with ease, but didn't see the need just yet! Still, good to know the apps are there and there's a few downloadable software options available!In addition to this microscope, I also tried some different "classic" style loupes. I didn't know what to expect as I've never used a loupe prior to this. My eyes could barely see through the lenses! Additionally the loupe LEDs were either blinding on them or downright didn't do their job (one of them was very finicky and won't stay on without tapping the LED itself to get it "just right" and it'll remain on for at least a little bit). but when it comes to honing in on "what the hell actually happened" with a 3d print, This guy is going to be a lifesaver!It's rare I leave a review, especially for a product I havent' had in my hands for that long... so I may revist and update this review at at later date, but for today, right now, this thing is awesome value and I'd reccomend picking one up if you were "on the fence". I'd read that "99% of them are the same thing with the same low quality image sensors" and looking aroud, I saw that to be pretty true. In forums I found posts with really crappy quality images from some of the other digital microscopes, so when I finally found one that appeared to use a different sensor (4k, different body form-factor, etc) and had some decent reviews... I figured it was worth a try. I haven't used the other microscopes, so I can't attest to them, but I'd wager if you are looking and ended up here - This is probably the product you are looking for!I included a couple images showing what one of my failed prints looks like from the perspective of a post-it note via cell-phone, versus through the lens of the microscope. It's actually crazy how well it does the job. The "way zoomed" picture is actually just the first zoomed picture, but cropped just to what I could fit on my screen at 100% when viewed in a browser. Little bugger does a good job!

I have now had some more time to work with this 4k microscope, it's not perfect, but it suits my needs for extreme close up soldering work on an amplifier circuit board. I looked around extensively for an overhead magnifying glass with an LED light, I found many listed here on Amazon, but nothing seemed to quite fit my need. I just could not visually get in close enough to see clearly if I was soldering each component correctly. I previously had a digital microscope that was similar to this unit I purchased a few years ago to look at coins. The end result was not what I hoped for, the resolution and detail was just not there. It is however with this camera!The GOOD stuff.This camera microscope has a resolution of 4k (3820x2160) plus it's wireless, the instructions say once fully charged it will run about 4 hours. What's really nice is that it runs on wifi, instead of Bluetooth. There's no lag as you view your image. The LED light brightness and the focusing are adjustable. If you have an iPad or iPhone, download the app, turn on the camera, select the HD-Microscope-8c06 wifi signal, start the app and you should see an image in the software. Bring it close to the area you want to see, adjust the focus and the light and it works. You can even take a picture and record video if you like, nice. On a MAC, you connect the camera microscope via the micro USB cord to your computer. You view the image by using the Photo Booth software included with the operating system on a MAC, or as I discovered you can use Zoom, just select the HD camera in the video setting. The nice thing about this is if you have a IMAC or large external monitor, you can see the image produced on a large screen!Now the BAD stuff.*When I initially looked at the image on a Mac or an iPad, the image is backwards in Photobooth! It's really annoying!!! (I had to horizontally flip the circuit board images and the penny coin to see it correctly). They need to fix this somehow. I've also found that as you move the camera microscope around to view image you want to see, it's very counter intuitive. It doesn't do what you expect. You have to play with it a bit to see what you want to see, again it's a frustrating.The U shaped plastic holder piece does not hold the camera microscope very firmly in place, it has two thin plastic snaps that line up with the 2 grooves on the camera microscope unit. When you move the camera around on it's flimsy base, you tighten the wing nut on the base, unfortunately it still does not stay in place that well. Under the holder is a thin rubber piece that is practically useless. I modified this with a piece of thick foam rubber that I set the unit on, much better! The power button is a bit flimsy as well.As far as the magnification goes and the clarity and brightness of the image, for what it is it's pretty good. I looked around and could not find another 4k camera microscope unit in this price range that does what this unit does without spending significantly more. For what I'm using it for, it works. It lets me see what I need to see clearly and check my work as I go.*I have been in contact with the manufacturer, they told me to download Xploview for Mac. Once I did this the image appeared correctly and not backwards! The software also allows you to set the video to 4k resolution and also allows you to record hi-res photos and video. This was much better. I did this (I've posted some new images) I'm much happier and can see my soldering work more closely. I'm not the best at soldering, but at least I know everything looks correct. I still don't love their U shaped stand that's included, but they've sent me the Metal Microscope Stand and Carrying Case to use. After taking it out of it's soft leather case, it's made of solid metal, includes a hex key for adjustments and made well. Looking forward to trying it out! I'm upping my rating on this microscope by one star. If they would replace the U shaped stand that comes with this microscope unit, or make it stronger and more durable, then I'd give it a 5 star rating.

Takes great pictures and video with the desk mount
