Review on Celestron 44314 FlipView Handheld LCD πŸ”¬ Microscope (Grey) - Enhanced for Better SEO! by Jim Martin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good idea but not quite the execution

I was delighted but was quickly disappointed. In short, the screen is very bad - so bad that it is difficult or impossible to use in practice. There is so much grain/noise here that it's hard to even see what you're looking at. If you take a real photo, the quality is better and you can see the object you are looking at. But the quality of these images is still not up to par - they can probably be used for many purposes, but there's still a lot of noise/pixelation, which leaves something to be desired. Can't comment on the quality/life of the battery as after about 30 minutes I realized I'll be returning it. This is a fairly old product and screens and noise cancellation have come a long way so hopefully they can release an updated design.

Pros
  • Versatile ergonomic design can be used in three ways: by hand, on a flat surface with fold out leg, or with the included metal stand and ΒΌ-20 connector
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
