Review on πŸ”¬ Handheld Wireless Digital Microscope – Compatible with Various Devices by Jonathan Abreu

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not quite as advertised - you get what you pay for

To be honest it's my fault for thinking this microscope was a good value at this price point. First, the stand is unusable and broke during assembly. This isn't rocket science. 1 bolt and 1 nut. The screw has a plastic handle and the screw moves freely in the handle. This means that you cannot tighten the screw. Second, I bought this to use on a Windows 10 PC and can only get a resolution of 1280 x 720 at 0.9 megapixels. Third, you need to put your own weights on the stand, otherwise the weight will tilt the scope forward until the scope falls on the table. I'll return it and spend more money for something that (hopefully) does what it says on the tin. Remember you get what you pay for. Update 1/5/21: After living with this for a while and installing and running it on my tablet, I can access and use ALL the features advertised. I still need to connect my tablet to my computer to upload images to my editing software. Image quality is excellent IF you can get the microscope to stay stable. I add 2 stars to the rating. Update 7/1/21: The product page says the microscope is 35mm in diameter, so I bought this stand for it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08639XZPB. /ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and found that the actual outside dimension is closer to 37mm. I wanted to return the stand but as it was inexpensive I decided to modify the stand to fit.

Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
