Better than I thought.
Had seen some reviews on YouTube. When unpacked, it looked a bit cheap. But functionally better than I thought. The amazing quality with the 12Mpix camera and lens isn't too bad either. The construction is simple and feels cheap, but in my first picture it doesn't compromise the functionality and quality of the image on the screen. Haven't gotten the videos and photos on the PC yet. It also works with a rechargeable/mobile battery bank so nice and versatile and a mobile setup is possible.
The magnification with a sharp image is so good in terms of resolution in combination with the lighting that, in addition to electronics, it is also suitable for biological and photomedical applications such as viewing and enlarging the skin. That surprised me a bit. The camera and lens can also be removed from the stand and can therefore be carried on the go. The image is more stable under a stand than in the hand, but solutions to this can also be devised with some Macguy pens.
Software is basic but the instructions in the manual are easy to follow.
The wiring was designed to be a bit awkward, but I understand the reason and functionality behind it. I think this could have been partially integrated with fewer cable hassles and vulnerable ports. But from a simplistic cheap architectural side I understand the logic.
I sometimes find the light too white. A warm white color would also have been nice to see true colors. The white light is sometimes overexposed. The light is strong, but it can be adjusted and the microscope ranking is dimmable.
I find all kinds of settings icons on the screen very annoying. It distracts from the picture. I haven't found a settings function to turn this off.
Points for improvement:
Actually pretty good for the price.
1. Mobile crafting with fewer cords
2. Warm light option for true-to-life images.
3. More megapixels. The more details are visible. The lens magnification is good but can optionally be a notch higher as a mountable accessory.
4. Software option to hide settings and clock and date from the screen.
5. Slightly more robust wheel. so I can make better micro adjustments with the focus/focus point of the lens. Things are going a little rough now. I believe this is due to the coarser plastic grooves. Perhaps a metal rail is a better option.
6. visible buttons on the screen. The function is plastic, so black on black, and therefore no contrast. If it was colored white, it was more visible. More contrast.
