MUSTOOL G1200 Review - A Great Budget Digital Miscroscope for Circuit Work

[@KerryWongBlog]

Please turn off "Stable Volume" in the video playback setting (the first menu item after clicking the gear icon) as for some reason, this new KZbin playback feature made the video much noisier than usual.

[@stevenspmd]

The real time video is probably the most useful feature when compared to other low end usb scopes.

Fantastic review, editing and narration. Well organized and approachable in range from the hobbyist to the professional. Well done!

[@KerryWongBlog]

Thanks Glenn!

[@FordSeniorMaster]

Kerry, Love your videos man! You do an EXCELLENT job of explaining all the features etc. Also, you have a very professional speaking voice and that makes your videos all more enjoyable to watch. Keep doing what you're doing! You help MANY of us. ;-) Patrick

Thanks Patrick! Really appreciate your encouragement!

Gadgetreboot did a modification of one of these where you could raise it twice as high and he added an electric motor.

[@tariqkamal4200]

I am using 32Gb 10 speed micro SD card

[@Blaszow]

I have the same model and after I record some videos the image has kind of grain effect and despite I set resolution to 1080FHD it dosen't look like 1080 after I watch the file on PC, you know what can possible be the cause of this problem?

[@namename8986]

Bad quality camera nothing you can do

[@Blaszow]

Yeah whatever I bought Andonstar ad407 and it's way better than this camera on the video

[@KasperKnas]

Is this one any good for bugs and other nature stuff?

[@KerryWongBlog]

I have recently reviewed a couple more of these digital microscopes kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJmteHWhqNmon7s kzbin.info/www/bejne/laXIpIybgp6sf68 and they may be more suitable for your purpose.

Great video, usefull, please keep it up.

Technically not a Microscope, but a *stereo-scope* . Microscope-specimens are lit from below and need a transparent mounted speciment -a *Slide*. Stereo-scopes speciment are of solid nature, not mounted and are lit from top

[@CastleMisha]

Ok, so if a high-end digital microscope like this is (almost) a necessity in your work. Please tell me what is an ABSOLUTE necessity in your work?

[@butwait]

A solder station

[@MrJinXiao]

Doesn't happen to have HDMI out, right? Do you know of anything worth the money in this price range that does?

[@CornelisJoh]

It does not have HDMI out, but you can connect the microscope to your PC with the USB cable, and display the image taken by the microscope in the Windows 10 Camera app.

i bought it g1200 , and used it for a month , and i regret it , the image quality is very bad , it never gives good balance between light and dark areas , the light is refleced directly to the camera when working with cicuit boards or electronics repairs , cannot see the parts clearly and the colors is not clear too , cannot tell if there is some thing dicolored or burned , and after a month or so of usage , it died , it doesnt turn on , i opened it and tested the board , i found the circuit board to be shorting on the power area next to the charger port , and its poor design seems to have failed in short time because it generates lots of heat while it doesnt have and proper cooling , its one of the worst microscopes in the market and no matter what price you pay for it , doesnt worth it never buy this model , you will end up throwing it in trash

[@brucekowalski3763]

@Technigeek what microscope did you end up using?

[@mr2000jp]

@@brucekowalski3763 i suggest you invest in a high quality microscope , if you do maintenance regularly , its worth it , since you will be using it for many years to come , i use optical lab mixroscope , i found used one in a shop

[@brucekowalski3763]

@@mr2000jp I am not a professional. I need magnification probably like 5 times a year. And since I don’t have a microscope, those gadgets/PCBs that need repairing end up collecting dust and at the end i buy new gadgets and throw the old ones away. So, 50-dollar microscope is actually already expensive for me. But sometimes those gadgets are too expensive to throw away. That’s why I thought this microscope would be ok for me.

[@mr2000jp]

@@brucekowalski3763 i see , so its just for little use , there is many options you can use , that doesnt cost much , big magnifier glass with a stand can cost about $10 can do the job , or you can buy a cheap digital microscope that works , and doesnt die in a matter of few hours of work , my friend bought TOMLOV dm201 , its a chinese cheap one but it works , and it have descent quality image

[@brucekowalski3763]

@@mr2000jp I already have a big magnifier glass with a stand and it is useless for me because i already have good eyesight but I need something for smd soldering. Of course TOMLOV dm201 is to expensive for me. So I was wondering if g1200 would be ok for smd soldering 5 times a year?

[@Mighty_Mik3]

I have this microscope with 10" screen and what I can tell you it's typical Chinese product.. fake resolution. It's says 1080P but its not native 1080P, but IMO upscaled 720P. You can clearly see it after taking photo or in realtime when you zoom on small detailed thing like coin etc. that artefact typical for low resolution are visible which means fake resolution. I've seen real FullHD digital microscope and the picture on the same size screen was superior sharp to this one. Better products are Andonstar AD208 for example.
