Are you using a microscope camera as a webcam? Can you make a video about that? Or if you already have can you link it? I'm talking about the microscope camera that's on a tripod at 4:07. Thank you
Awesome video! I just ordered a simufocal amscope to replace my entry 400z and I had a bunch of questions regarding the camera setup. This video is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!!!!
Hello, can you somehow check that it really provides 60 fps at 1080p over HDMI? I've checked a lot of youtube videos recorded at 60 fps where cameras in similar price category with same sensor are connected directly over HDMI and set to 1080p@60fps, but in reality they all provide 30 fps, only cameras for 400$+ with similar sensor were providing 60 fps...
Hey bro, please if you can tell me The size of this spacer - is it a 5mm spacer? The exact name would really help me out. I’m a diamond setter and have bought a camera with scope recently , the spacer is so crucial and I need to know 🙏 thanks
It comes with the camera If not, get it here: www.injuredgadgets.com/c-to-cs-spacer-adapter-for-1080p-usb-microscope-camera-5mm/?acc=3d2d53e5abcd70e24cc444935b88e6ac21
I have rf4 6565 pro and the camera is rf4 2k . I can’t get the same view in the camra . Samera view is too small like a half. I want full view as like in microscope . Is that a camera falt or lenz. I using 5x pro lenx under the camera. Any idea about fixing the view?
Good video. AaDo you advise me to buy a Dx 4K mini camera or a Sunshine M11 camera?. Or any other camera you recommend? please. I want to mount it directly to the lens
Great video friend, I'm looking to buy one through Aliexpress, I would like to know if this camera supports "Mount c" lenses with a 25mm thread? Thanks.
Question on the 4K HDMI capture card. Should I get it even if I don't currently have a 4K monitor? Will the capture card work anyways with my 1080P monitor? Thanks!😀
Have you found a pdf manual for the camera? Or can you tell me if the 16:9 is the correct setting in the menu? Also, how do you get the max resolution as in OBS there is only default and custom. Other than that it is working great and your set up instructions worked beautifully. Thanks.
@@VCCBoardRepairs Ok, thanks. I was curious as I watched another video from Phonefix where the guy chooses 3840 × 2160 resolution from the OBS menu. My video capture card does support 4K as that is what I have it running at but was going to try the higher resolution if it was available. Or is that the default? Thanks.
The remote and camera have buttons indicating record and photo. There is also an SD card slot on the camera. However, I can't get it to record anything and don't have any options in the menu for format or anything like that. Do you know if it is supposed to record directly or are those buttons left over from another model that uses the same housing?
Ok. I think I got it half working anyways. If I hit the record button on the remote twice, it starts recording. I can't watch the video back on the camera though. I have to remove the card and put it into a PC. A manual or link to one would be nice Mechanic! Let me know if you have ever found one.
Those price is perfect starter for me to learning do repair those iPhone, ipad etc like your job that I am motivation will wanting order those camera that you show this video.. i can’t wait buy one of those on next month when I get my check.. I am patient and I just already ordered one of your hoodie black shirt. It will shipping here at my hometown kenai Alaska next week.. I can’t wait wear it and enjoy with your cool logo, awesome, I am drooling want buy one of this camera, hurry next Month i am buying those 💯 same as this price I can afford. I am not rich guy now lol anyway thank for video.
You cannot plug in the microscope camera directly to your laptop HDMI, as it's not an HDMI input You need a HDMI Capture card, like I show in the video.
Your description of setting up parfocal was confusing to me. On my AmScope, there are lines either painted, etched or printed on the eyepiece tubes that denote the “zero” position. This is the procedure I followed: Step 1 - Twist each eyepiece out (lengthen it) until that “zero” line on its tube is just barely visible. Step 2 - Set zoom to maximum. Step 3 - Adjust objective lens height (large knob, or stand adjustment) until image is clear in one eyepiece. Step 4 - Adjust other eyepiece until both eyes are in focus. Step 5 - Set zoom to minimum. Step 6 - Readjust the eyepieces until focused again. Step 7 - Verify that the eyepieces remain in focus throughout the zoom range (may need slight readjustment of eyepieces). Step 8 - Adjust camera focus knob until camera is also in focus.
Took a risk and bought this. Just unboxed it today. The image seems pretty good, but none of the buttons work. It can output over HDMI directly to a monitor, but I can't open any of the menus from the buttons and it won't capture still image or video to a memory card. It didn't come with a manual of any kind, which is normally find if the interface is intuitive, but the buttons don't work. OBS Project can display the image from the camera, but again none of the camera settings can be changed through OBS and the buttons don't bring up any menus. OBS would be good for capturing video, but half of the use of the camera is just taking screenshots. This is the second microscope camera I've purchased from China and what I don't understand is that the hardware (sensor, buttons, enclosure, etc) seems to be decent but the software is only half functional. The hardware is the difficult part. The software should be super easy to put together, but it's always half broken and makes the product mostly useless. Jesse, I wouldn't recommend this camera any more. It's just not a good product.
@@VCCBoardRepairs I get that. But real companies do quality testing. How many times am I going to have to exchange it before I get one that works? I have more important things to spend my time on. I would say I'm willing to spend more money to avoid all of this, but even Amscope and other manufacturers who are more expensive have mediocre reviews.
@@jamesphillips7433 yeah, all depends on how much you can budget for a more expensive one i guess.. this should be all right for those not willing to spend hundreds more..
What you think which is good quality camera like this link I show you. It’s good price for those camera but I think your video look fantastic quality camera
Not all MS Camera will do that. I have 3 different cameras and 2 out of the 3 will give me a slight tunnel effect using .35x and a .5X Barlow. My IMX291 camera has a slight blur around the edges but not terrible. I have a IMX307 camera that is bulkier that will give you that tunnel/ darkness around the edges. I have my first MS Camera that is a Panasonic sensor- not sure which on but that camera is even more compact and there’s tunnel effect. This is when using the compact .35x adapter. I’m not sure about the older bigger style though.
You are not mentioning neither in the title nor in the description that it is the best camera for/up to 100usd. Btw autofocus camera you can get for like 200 usd so it is still not super expensive (2k, not full 4k 60frames) but still.
thanks but no thanks, not for that money... like crazy they started increasing prices in the last 1-2 years, such toys were up to 80 usd, that should be the maximum!

Thank you Jesse that was great zooming in and out and staying focused. Great trick 👌🏻
Glad to hear that!

Glad I could help!
Do you know if the spacer is included when you order both the Camera and the adapter? Thanks!
FPS is terrible or is this your setup ?
Its very choppy.
It's max at 30fps for 4k and 60fps for 1080p. I'm assuming it can't do 60fps on 2k as well.
I like how he's not replying to this tho hehe.

Before i buy this camera one question friend. Is there a way to add millimeter on the screen ?
Thank you! I was wondering how to synchronize the zoom. I didn't realize the eyepiece lenses can be adjusted too
Awesome! Thanks @marcingogowski6077

Good video. AaDo you advise me to buy a Dx 4K mini camera or a Sunshine M11 camera?. Or any other camera you recommend? please. I want to mount it directly to the lens
I never used sunshine camera so I don't know
If the camera has a USB-C ort, can't you just get the image via that port, rather than converting HDMI to USB via a separate device?
Great video friend, I'm looking to buy one through Aliexpress, I would like to know if this camera supports "Mount c" lenses with a 25mm thread?
Thanks.
Yes it's C Mount camera
Question on the 4K HDMI capture card. Should I get it even if I don't currently have a 4K monitor? Will the capture card work anyways with my 1080P monitor? Thanks!😀
Good question. I think it will work but not sure
@@VCCBoardRepairs Ok, thanks, I will likely get the same capture card and if worse comes to worse just buy a 4K monitor. Win win! 😋
I love this one too, thanks for the recommendation!
Glad you like it!
Any idea why when I install it on my AmScope SM-4NTP the corner of the image has a black spot like the optics are blocked?? I'm new to microscopes lol
hello,
what sensor does this camera has? did you check it?

Yes 16:9 is correct.
And if you don't see the 4k setting, try custom.
If still not, then your capture card does not support 4k

It's better to use it as I show in the video
Did you buy the 16 LED or 120 LED version of the polarizer scope light. I see Sorin uses the 16 LED version of the same brand in your link. Thanks
120 LED version
On AliExpress there is identical 4K camera on Eakins microscope store. Is this the same camera with other brand logo?
I'm not sure. They could have different software that makes it not as good
@@VCCBoardRepairs I think the sensor is different so, mechanic could be better. Thanks for Quick answer ;)
Great video brother
Thank you! Appreciate the support!
I have kaise ks37045d MS with 0.5x extra lens.....
Will this MS camera be suitable for me ???
I'm not familiar with that microscope. But in theory, it should work if it supports a microscope camera
Would I be able to use this camera with my current c-mount lenses with my setup like Northridgefix uses? -basically just microscope camera to display.
It's a C Mount camera so in theory, yes
That's what I was wondering as well.
Can the camera output video through usb like a webcam?
Yes, you can use it via USB C as a webcam.
In the video, I show how to convert HDMI to USB using a capture card

If you used a 0.5x barrow lens, then you need to use a 0.5x adapter. Otherwise, you will get a black circle ring around the image.
Good to know!
How do you mean by adapter
Adapter = Reduction lens
@@alphatechtechnolgy2544 the microscope adapter that goes between the camera and the microscope.

honestly, its not bad at all
is the picture in the video is 4K 30fps? I find 30fps for scope view is choppy, can you switch it to 60fps if it was not set up?
