Review on 🔬 Leanking 4.3 inch 50X-1000X Magnification 720P LCD Digital Microscope Camera by Megan Knoll

This is a great little microscope and for the price I wasn't expecting anything this good. I had to go back and write a review because I remember being afraid of bad reviews and I love mine. So, I'm going to talk about the good and bad sides of the device now that I've used it for a while, but first I'll get to the point - if you're on the fence like me but find the price attractive, as long as there's one workable scope, buy it, I think you will be satisfied. Quick Overview: The viewing angle of the screen is fixed and has a poor up/down angle, requiring you to be above the screen to see the image. This is the biggest problem, but you can plug the oscilloscope into your computer and have its own screen, so depending on your purpose, that might not be a deal breaker. The maximum magnification is around 50:1, which is a far cry from the stated magnification. Pros: It has an unmentioned feature. Above a certain magnification it becomes an infinity lens so you can use it like a telescope (that allows me to resolve the image across the whole room) but even better if you put it on a longer neck you have a bench. a soldering iron with a very decent magnification that you don't have to worry about how much it costs. It can record movies from camera data card (not included). It has a good picture and the built-in LEDs are quite bright. Detailed Check: INCREASE Claimed increase is incorrect. I measured the apparent size on screen by the size of the object and calculated a magnification of 60:1 under very favorable conditions. So I'm going to assume it's actually a 50:1 magnification microscope. I'm not deducting points for that because it serves my purpose and I'm glad I paid $50 for it. It also has a hidden feature that I described in a quick review - infinite focal length at a given magnification, making it easy to use in a larger build. Test conditions: To measure the screen, I used an electronic caliper with an accuracy of 0.03 millimeters. the size of the object at maximum magnification compared to the actual size of the object (the mosfet I cut open to see the transistor chip). I detached the block from the base, I was generous with the size of the image on the screen, and I erred in measuring the size of the object on the page too small (which would give a larger magnification factor), and so am I Object bumped over the lens protection film that prevents you from getting closer when the microscope is fully assembled, giving more magnification than you can achieve in normal operation. I found the magnification limits to be such that beyond a certain distance the visor could no longer resolve the image. ASSEMBLING THE MICROSCOPE The assembly that comes with the sight is fully functional, but tiny and too small to be of any real use as an electronic sight for circuit builders. or jewelry that requires soldering and fiddling. The platform measures a few inches by a few inches, it's not a decent work surface at all. I don't deduct points for this because I can make my own build and everything but the base can be used in the rebuilt build. I bought a nice metal gooseneck from Goodwill on an old lamp and can 3D print the fittings to make a decent microscope by combining the neck of the microscope assembly with the gooseneck. I wasn't expecting great construction, and it's actually well made, albeit small, so it exceeded my expectations in that sense. The downward viewing angle of the screen is limited (like most LCDs on the market today). So unless you're looking directly at the screen, you can't see the image well. This is the biggest complaint about the device, but again I'm not deducting points because I don't expect the screen to be great at this price point and that's more than enough, especially when it's on my gooseneck and I light it can adjust corner. Also, being able to view it on another device (it behaves like a Windows webcam) means this limitation can be bypassed when it counts. It would have made a lot more sense for such a microscope to make the optimal viewing angle horizontal rather than vertical and it's a shame they didn't realize that. Overall, I'm very happy with it, even with the limitations. This review was 100% my honest opinion, I hope it helps you in your decision! The image is really sharp and well suited for my purposes, i.e. for soldering small parts. This fulfills the task of a soldering microscope very well, albeit with different equipment.
