Anticipated returning, now I want to be the company spokesman.
Absolutely amazing! I honestly expected to hook this up and be unhappy then return it and spend more on a better one. I was absolutely floored with my purchase. The incredible quality of the image, the depth of field of all three lenses, and the durable craftsmanship of the multi-adjustable frame are nothing short of amazing. I did three different micro soldering jobs that I had been putting off because I was unable to see the tiny circuits. I sharpen knives as a hobby and that was one of the biggest factors in me purchasing the digital microscope. It works spectacular for both the soldering job and inspecting my finished Edge on my knives. The price to value is off the charts. I thought i would have to spend double the price to receive this quality.10 out of 10. I will update my review with images.

Having purchased it, I have no idea how I did without it before.
Purchased on recommendation this digital microscope is perfect for soldering small SMB components and electronics repair. Since that's my only application, I've only really used the "L" attachment and haven't tried the other lenses. This is fairly easy to put together with comprehensive instructions, the end result is very sturdy and has multiple degrees of adjustment making it easy to focus. The two flexible lights provide well needed detail and are bright enough once you find the correct angle. The ability to record video and take screenshots is a nice feature but one I've only used sparingly. That said on the few occasions I've tried it it's been easy to use and transfer to my PC, and surprisingly high detail. There are some projects that I wouldn't have been able to do without this microscope, and some that I would have but this made much easier. This now stays plugged in on my workbench and sometimes I find myself just flipping on the lights even when I don't need the magnification.

Must Have for Modern Board Repair
I trained as an electronics tech in the Navy many years ago. Back when many devices were still using vacuum tubes. Miniaturization completely changed the game for doing component level repair. Most parts are now too small to be able to repair effectively without some sort of visual aid. It wasn't my intention to get into doing component level repair on modern devices after retiring. But the fact that we've had a number of devices around the house fail, and that many can be easily and inexpensively repaired at home gave me an incentive to get back into repair work. Step one was obtaining an "electronics" microscope that would allow better viewing of the work. Chose this Andonstar device after watching a number of videos reviewing it, and after reading a number of reviews about the pros and cons of different types/models. It has the majority of features that I needed, and the added benefit (for this model) of having interchangeable (and included) objective lenses for other types of microscope viewing. Assembly was simple, and the various parts fit together well Adjustments are, for the most part simple, and the 'scope stays put once set and doe not creep out of position. The entire microscope head can be positioned as needed vertically and horizontally (for closer or further from the front edge of the base). The mount arm can also be tilted out of vertical for those situations where it may be necessary. The stand is plenty heavy enough to resist tipping in normal use. Included adjustable LED lamps do a good job lighting the work. There's also an included transmitted light unit for viewing microscope slides, as well as a set of sample prepared slides. Focusing is accomplished via a large knurled sleeve on the microscope barrel. The 7 inch LCD display is bright and sharp, and can be easily adjusted via buttons on the panel or via the included remote. The display can use an SD card for recording from the microscope. The 'scope can also simultaneously output via HDMI connection to a large monitor. All necessary cables were included. So far, I have tried out all the lenses and find them adequate to purpose. As with any 'scope, the choice of subject dictates the choice of lens, and each subject/lens combo will likely require adjustments be made to the many possible positions of the microscope with respect to the subject at hand. I reduced the Easy to Use assessment by one star primarily for what seemed to me to be an odd choice in the positioning controls: lack of a rack and pinion style vertical position adjustment for the microscope head. While the fine adjustment of vertical position DOES have a rack and pinion adjustment, the coarse overall adjustment does not. This means that moving the head up and down requires more fiddling. The head has to be unlocked, then pulled or pushed into position, and held in place until it's locked once again. A rack and pinion type adjustment would be much easier. Once positioned for use in board repair, the 'scope functioned very well. There was plenty of magnification for good visibility of SMD components, and enough range of adjustment in focus and fine vertical position of the 'scope to view larger components without having to make coarse vertical position changes. This let me easily desolder and replace a couple of failed electrolytic caps on one of our home automation controls. A lot cheaper to replace what was literally about $0.20 worth of components rather than order a replacement device (at over $75). Once I've repaired the other two or three items around here that have similar failures (cheap capacitors are electronic death sentences) I'll consider that the 'scope has paid for itself. Recommended! Andonstar has a number of other microscope models available, at a variety of price points/feature sets. I'd consider any of them to be a safe choice and useful addition if the features appear to meet one's needs.

Motsvarade helt mina önskemål, snabb leverans! Ett fantastiskt mikroskop med 3 olika objektiv. Klar och tydlig bild, lätt att ställa in fokus. Kan även koppas till TV eller datorn. Bra belysning som kan ställas in i olika positioner. Fick den levererad direkt till dörren. Skall användas till kretskort och lödning men även andra uppdrag väntar då den är lätt att använda.

Een heel mooi apparaat voor de gevraagde prijs. Het is natuurlijk niet bedoeld voor professioneel gebruik. Maar voor de semiprofessional. Je kunt er prachtig gedetailleerde foto's mee maken, die je vervolgens op de bijgeleverde sd-kaart kunt opslaan. Het is tevens mogelijk om op dezelfde manier te filmen. Ik heb zo al een printplaat (pcb) kunnen repareren, door de smd componenten optisch te vinden, die kapot waren en met het blote oog gewoon ok leken. Ik zal deze scoop met name gebruiken voor soldeer en desoldeer hulp, en ben daarom blij dat de afstand tot de printplaat en het objectief voldoende groot kan zijn, om meetpunten, soldeergereedschap enz ruim onder het objectief te kunnen gebruiken. Met bijgeleverde petridishes(?!) kun je tevens flink kleinere objecten bekijken van microscopische omvang. Deze glazen plaatjes bevatten enkele objecten, die je zichtbaar kunt maken via een meegeleverde onderliggende led verlichting. Ik heb een foto gemaakt vanaf mn beeldscherm met mn smartphone om een idee te geven. ( Anders had ik de sd-kaart uit het systeem moeten halen en op een pc moeten uitlezen 😁 Ik ben ook erg blij met de hdmi aansluiting, waarmee je ook het beeld direct op een monitor kunt plaatsen.

Ottimo articolo realizzato con buoni materiali. Una volta fatto l’unboxing ho provato ad assemblarlo senza guardare le istruzioni e devo dire che è di un’estrema semplicità. Come accennato prima i materiali sono dimensionati nel modo corretto e difatti non traballa ed una volta posizionato resta immobile. Gli ingrandimenti sembrano corrispondere a ciò che è descritto e la risoluzione è pulita e nitida con tutte e tre le lenti in dotazione, anche se al massimo degli ingrandimenti e’ normale che si debba prestare un po’ di attenzione alla corretta messa a fuoco. Ho trovato molto utile il cavo HDMI per collegare un ulteriore schermo anche se quello in dotazione ha già una eccellente risoluzione (io ho optato per quello da 7”). Anche i braccetti flessibili per l’illuminazione consentono di illuminare gli oggetti in posizione ottimale senza che ci siano zone in ombra. In totale ne sono contento e lo consiglio.

El microscopio se nos entrega en una caja muy bien protegido contra posibles golpes. Se entrega semidesmontado, solo has de colocar unas pocas piezas que lo haces mirando una guía rápida que se incluye o si eres menos hábil, puedes descargar unos videos escaneando unos códigos BIDI que se incluyen en el manual. El microscopio es una verdadera pasada, no sé porque he esperado tanto tiempo ha comprarlo y he seguido usando una lupa con luz para mis trabajos en electrónica. Con este microscopio, es la noche y el día, lo que antes me costaba Dios y ayuda soldar/desoldar ahora en unos segundos está realizado. Dispones de tres lentes diferentes para tres usos distintos, desde lo que es trabajos de electrónica, pasando por mirar hoja, monedas hasta otra lente para poder observan esas cosas tan pequeñas como son las alas de un insecto o sus dientes. Todo un mundo en miniatura por descubrir. Su manejo es sencillisimo, con un enfoque muy preciso y las luces que tiene a ambos lados hacen un trabajo inigualable. Para poder sujetar los PCN dispone de unas pestañas para atrápelas o bien giras todo lo que es el microscopio menos la base y sigues trabajando con el en tu mesa de silicona térmica. Puedes sacar fotos o grabar video. Tambien disonéis de una salida HDM para que lo puedas conectar a un monitor, con las pulgadas que tu quieras, y te aseguro que se ve de lujo. Trae una tarjeta microSD para guardar los videos o fotos, os he dejado alguna capturas hechas con él. Tambien dispone de un zoom digital 3X y apenas mete ruido. Una maravilla, de verdad. De verdad, tanto si eres aficionado a la microelectrónicas, fotografía macro, entusiasta de los sellos/monedas, o de todo lo que el ojo no ve, no lo dudes, compra este microscopio que no te vas a arrepentir. Yo he tardado mucho tiempo en dar el paso y ahora me arrepiento de no haberlo dado muchísimo antes. Un microscopio 💯 recomendado. Espero que esta reseña te haya sido útil
