Would be good if you could do a side by side with a flagship phone camera with microscope app. I use a galaxy z fold 2 and works just as good as what you've shown here as far as magnification goes. I can't justify spending more money on another device.

Thanks I also agree with you I have the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the camera and zoom is amazing and great quality. However while it's good for recording video etc for me it's not great for working on as ideally I want to have it looking top down so I can't see the screen. The microscope has a much bigger screen. Also I don't want to be interrupted with phone calls etc in the middle of doing a job. I could get a second dedicated phone perhaps but the cost of my phone is over £1000 so the microscope is a fraction of the price and it's also better for youtube eith the HDMI output for recording

Price-wise, it's not far off entry-level trinocular microscopes. Wouldn't that be a much nicer solution to work?

[@JFIXX1]

You are right but the money wasnt too much of a consideration. I think the only benefit would be to gauge depth while soldering etc but unfortunately, I do not have very good binocular vision. I also like the idea of being able to glance at test equipment like multimeter or oscilloscope at the same time as looking at the screen. This was the best spec microscope of this type I could find. I will see how it goes over time and look at other options if I struggle.

@@JFIXX1 I hope this works for you, then!

Thank you for the review. Can the optic be tilted upward? If so, can the screen be tilted in orden to remain vertical? Does it have a photografic stand screw inlet?

[@JFIXX1]

Ok it doesn't have any camera mount screw. The stand does rotate 45 degrees but the screen and microscope are attached to each other they can't move idenpenditaly

In your video, the microscopic image is not sharp, it is a bit blurry.

[@JFIXX1]

I have not used the scope yet for any work I still need to play around with the focus and height to get the best possible image. I will see how it looks when I attempt some repairs

Good morning, I've just seen your video on the Elikliv EM4K Microscope, a very nice video. I would like to ask you a question: how do you recharge the battery? And can I leave the power cable on all the time? Thank you in advance for your feedback. Best regards

[@JFIXX1]

Thank you for your comment the battery is charged via the USB-C cable that can be left attached all the time which I plan to do. The battery life I would estimate would be maybe 3 or 4 hours
