AndonstarAD407 3D HDMI Soldering Digital Microscope with 4MP UHD and 7 inch Adjustable LCD Screen USB Video Microscopes for Phone Repairing SMT SMD DIY

I wasn't expecting a lot for the price, but was pleasantly surprised. I use this for electronic circuit inspection (and other random things in the lab). Has HDMI output and writes images to a standard memory card. The lights do get really hot if you leave them on, but they're very bright, and thus very useful.

I use this all the time. The video quality is awesome! The size is perfect for the repairs that I bought it for. It’s very versatile, use it with my kids to see textures of other materials. The magnification range is good and the ease of use is exceptional. The performance exceeds my expectations.

After months of agonizing over not having a better microscope and being unable to justify dropping over $600 on a higher-end interchangeable-lens/autofocus camera setup + a Barlow lens, I decided to buy this as it seemed to tick all the boxes for my needs a few of my wants. Overall, I was impressed with the picture quality, but part of me still missed the high-end optics and auto-focus.Then, thanks to another reviewer (props RCJad!), I decided to add the Xit XT30WAB 30mm 0.43X Wide Angle Lens ($11.40 on Amazon) and it's made the AD407 so much better. The XT30WAB lens brings a slightly wider to see more of the PCB and it has a Depth-of-Field (DoF) of approximately 1 inch/25 mm, making PCB requiring far less refocusing while you work! Now, I can see the PCB *and* my tools, tall components, etc. while I work. Now I can tilt a PCB to inspect it WITHOUT constantly refocusing or shifting the board up and down. I'd still love to have autofocus, but with this DoF, I don't really need/miss it most of the time. (Andonstar - You need to sell these or similar as your own so buyers don't have to research them on their own.)Keep in mind, even with the additional lens, the AD407 isn't going to compete for with a $600+ microscope with interchangeable lenses, a larger/taller stand and a camera with autofocus, but this is half the cost, a great formfactor for a workbench, has a very nice display built-in and it works really well for all but really large PCBs. Just get a wide-angle/macro lens and you'll enjoy it a whole lot more.Note: There are also mods that people do mount these cameras to microphone stands/arms to allow you to raise them higher or work on larger PCBs (large motherboards, arcade PCBs, retro computer repair, etc.). It does require some rewiring of the LED lights, however.

First: the screen and microscope are great. The controls might be slightly obtuse but it's good quality, low latency, and everything (including HDMI output - pair this with a BlueAVS capture card) works as intended.However, the stand sucks. It really sucks. It's not unusable per se, but it definitely gets in the way and doesn't work very well at all, and even if it did, it doesn't allow the microscope/screen assembly to raise high enough for less-micro work. The gooseneck LEDS are so-so as well. The one star off is for the stand.Get this, and when you're ready to upgrade away from the stand, mount this thing onto a mic arm and get a microscope ring light to go with it. It's way more useful and usable this way. Unfortunately there are no mounting holes; I chose to 3D print a mount and 5 min epoxy it to the back. If there were at least some sort of mounting holes on the back, I would've given this 5 stars. You can probably 3D print/mill/whatever a ring mount that secures it to the mic arm the same way as the old stand as well. Figure something out, because it's worth it to get it off the old stand.

I do a lot of tinkering with electronics. For decades, I’ve relied on my trust 10x eye loupe to inspect part numbers, color codes, solder joints, whatever. Trust me when I say - this digital microscope is the best thing since... well... 10x eye loupes. No more squinting. No more trying to angle the object just right under the desk lamp. This scope just works. The ability to photograph the image for future reference or documentation is just icing on the cake.If I had one complaint, it would be that the adjustable focal distance is not optimal. I quickly found myself wanting a wider angle of view — the lense allowed it but the vertical travel topped out too soon. I solved this by designing and 3D printing a 87mm spacer and buying two 100mm screws to lift the bracket off the plate enough to fully utilize the entire focus range of the lens. Not a necessary modification by any means, but worthwhile if you have the means and desire.

very good quality works great. Thank you

Very nice zoom for working on pocket watches looking at rare coins and for soldering. It doesn't come with an SD card what you need to take pictures and save them.

Overall, I am very happy with this product. The picture quality is excellent, the construction sturdy, and learning to use it a breeze. I would certainly purchase from this company again. The only complaint I have is that you do not have a range of magnification options. Although through adjusting the focus and height of the camera tower you can focus well, there is generally only one level of 'zoom' which works for each item. All other combos are completely fuzzy. It is not like a normal microscope where you can see something at 15x or 30x. You play around, and eventually, find the height/focus combo that provides you a clear image.

Item as stated

Très satisfait de ce microscope que j'utilise principalement pour de la soudure

Ich habe das Mikroskop für den Hobbybereich (Messer schleifen) bestellt.Das Produkt ist super verpackt, lässt sich leicht aufbauen und hat eine hochwertige Haptik. Der Zoom und die Bildqualität sind für meine Zwecke gut, und die Bedienung ist intuitiv.Für den privaten bzw. Hobbybereich kann ich das Gerät auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

Allt funkar och man får kanonskärpa med mjuka kontraster så man ser komponenter ordentligt för ytmontering. För den som har en stadig hand går det att montera resistorer och kondensatorer ner till 0402 storlek.

A great piece of kit for the price. I'm very impressed by the image quality and how easy it is to use.The mounting platform is a little limited if you want to do some work underneath the microscope lens. It doesn't really go high enough.I would've preferred a more simple wire loom. There's a lot of cables going everywhere.
