One thing to note is that the 7" version of these microscopes can output HDMI and the built-in screen simultaneously. The 10" ones can not do that, the built-in screen turns off when HDMI is connected. I bought an AD246SM and quite happy with it.

@andrew_koala2974You are absolutely incorrect. You don't capitalize on/off within a sentence when referring to switching. They are capitalized on switches because they are labels. Provide a reference for this assertion.

I'm looking for a digital microscope for both smd workflow and photo microscopy. My first questions are about artifacts and what file formats the scope can output preferring RAW format. Since the sensor is only 4MP it's a pass for me. I would be interested to see a stepped gradient from black to white to see it's dynamic range and how it deals with contrast. This is the first video I've seen of yours and the depth you go into is more than I usually ask for and entirely enjoyable. Thanks.

I have the Tomlov DM602 PRO. I bought it to inspect phonograph needles for wear or damage. The D lens works very well for that and is a bargain at $200 for that level of magnification. Thank you so much for revealing so much about the scopes and posting a video about it.

Thank you for the very good review and confirming that they don't really provide a high pixel sensor. One thing that i would have liked to see is a delay measurement. For working (soldering) directly under a microscope, having even a small delay can be pretty annoying. I think the test could be very simple, take a LED flashlight and switch it on, and see how long the difference is between the switching and the image on the screen changing. If you use a digital camera in high frame rate mode, you should be able to measure the delay down to a few milliseconds. I currently still prefer optical binocular microscopes for soldering, because the first digital ones i tested were lagging way too much, but maybe the newer ones with more powerful processing have less image lag?

What functions are done by the remote? Can any of the remote functions be done by the buttons below the screen? And are there any functions that can be done only by using that remote? Thanks.

I recently found your channel, And have been wanting to upgrade my setup that I do repairs with. Do you have a recommendation for 600.00 or under ? I currently have a Andonstar but not this model. But I can tell the zoom is horrible when I am trying to work on things. I use an arm for my scope, modified. Also if it could run HDMI out while showing on its screen that would be a big plus. Hope you catch this question.

Very interesting video, thank you. I have been looking into the various models and brands lately when I came across your video. I read that the Tomlov DM201 Max claims to use a Sony IMX CMOS sensor so it would be interesting to find if that is actually true and if it actually improves the image quality or not. I have not come across any others that make that same claim.

@EvilmonkeyzDesignz Жыл бұрын

I still have the DM201 that I reviewed in the first comparison video. I thought I wasn't going to be able to open up the microscope without destroying it, so I wasn't able to confirm what image sensor was inside. I'll have to give it another try and see if I can confirm. I'd be willing to bet its only a 4MP sensor as well, not the 16MP sensor that the DM201 claims.

@Riyame Жыл бұрын

@@EvilmonkeyzDesignz Seems YT ate my comment. The base and other special editions of the 201 use the older 4MP sensor I believe. Only the "max" version uses the Sony one. If you search the big rain forest for tomlov dm201 max it will have 25 MP in the description. Not likely true 25 though, but maybe with interpolation.

Hi, thank you for these detailed and informative videos. I saw your other comparisons, but I'm not sure about one thing, how does the TOMLOV DM201 compare to those 3 microscopes here? I'm interested in the image quality and detail, I know it has a smaller screen, but the price is similar and from the specs it seems to have a higher resolution, but those have the 3 lenses, and should be more versatile and achieve various magnification levels.

It's still probably worth getting a good bifocal Amscope that is set up with lenses that give you needed magnification and enough clearing to work under it and just get the camera adapter for the scope that sits in the eye piece that goes into a pc via USB. I know the price difference here is steep but if you take care of the scope I have a feeling that you could always resell it used for a fair amount of what it cost you to buy. You would also have the option to change lenses and use the same scope in many configurations just buying additional lenses from Amscope. The video out from the camera adapters going into the pc just like a web cam and the software included from Amscope would give you lab grade tools to do analysis on the video and you could output the image onto anything you can output video from a pc too.. so anything pretty much. The image clarity from looking directly into the optical configuration and with bifocal lenses would be high and give you depth, something that make a big difference on being able to accurately work with anything under the scope such as electronics work. These things is probably why you see these scopes in labs around the world and technical workshops everywhere.

@EvilmonkeyzDesignz Жыл бұрын

It's a tie for me between these three microscopes, since they are all identical. It really seems like they used all the same exact pieces they just have a different name or firmware on them. I can't say that will always be the case between the brands in the future, but for these three microscopes, you'll basically get the same thing no matter which one you get. :)

@EvilmonkeyzDesignz 9 ай бұрын

Thanks, I appreciate that! It's funny you mention the wifi, because there actaully isn't any mention of the wifi in the manuals. It's clearly built into the microscopes, and can be enabled in the software, but the manuals and websites don't specify a specific app to use with it. It's possible that it might just work with some of the apps available, but it's no guarantee.

Also got an old MacBook logic board that needs repairing. I liked that you also did a tear down to confirm they were identical clones & not just a review without proof of what’s inside.

I was kinda interested in the 4.3 inch Tomlov. (the DM4S) Something with a screen (which also gives a non-inversed, or de-inversed, image), seems kinda tempting ...but not if it's fraudulent. Granted, don't need 1000x ...and after discovering that my cheap Chinese loupe is also lying about its magnification, it seems that maybe 30x-40x, or 30x-50x, would be enough, for my purposes...
