Of all the reviewers of this kind of microscopes so far you are the second one that was smart enough to clamp the microscope at the end of the lens barrel. Kudos. 👍🏻🤣
DOH! I have an Andonstar microscope and couldn't figure that out, instead I've built a custom extension to get the magnification down to a useful range... 🤦♂ However I must say that Andonstar has outstanding support; I asked them for a longer stand and they said they didn't have one but they helped me build my own by sending me a camera holding brace completely free of charge.
i bought the TOMLOV DM201 Pro. it's a 7" screen (they make a 10" the dm202) for $169 and it's much- much nicer. wireless remote, lens ring light beside the 2 side lights, touch sliders for intensity for both, usb-c for power to unit and base, a 10" adjusting rack for much larger work clearance, 16 MPixel camera, plus the HDMI out and a 32MB sd card. also it has a built in battery so it can be "wireless" (need the USB wire from scope to base for light). i use the HDMI for board inspection on a 35" screen because it effectively gives more magnification without using digital zoom and needed more working distance.
04:25 You'd get a microscope with a built-in screen and an HDMI output to be able to solder yourself and let the students see what you're doing, or capture the video out and make video screams.
How do u chose a soldering mat? Also what is the type of mat used in old uni labs that type that is very rigid? + cum le zice in romana ca nu stiu cum sa caut
I don't really use the term 'soldering mat' but if you only plan to you use it for soldering then one of the small blue ones like shown in the video, made from silicone, will do the job just fine.
BTW: A stereoscopic microscope doesn't do anything for me since I'm stereo blind and also my glases don't combine to well with most eyepieces... However you can fit polarising filters on the work lights and screw on filter which reduce glare and can make important details visible which might not even be exposed from depth alone... Also notice that the DoF is rather shallow so don't expect a huge depth effect with everything in focus...
@@jaro6985 Then I wouldn't see anything outside the view of the microscrope; which is a bad thing especially when dealing with dangerous tools like a hot solder iron. 😅
The magnification of those microscopes is way to high; I have the ADSM302 and its fixed magnification is unusable for any serious electronics work. Not sure why they can't offer a proper zoom lens, I wouldn't get a fixed magnification microscope anymore. The HDMI output is rather useful since the builtin recording is not only bad quality and resolution but it's also rather flimsy to use; for that I have an external HDMI Recorder and a big 1080p screen on an adjustable monitor arm which allows for comfortable adjustment of the position of the monitor independent of the work area and camera position plus I can record in high quality without flimsy Micro SD card in bad resolution with tons of crap displayed on the screen and requirement to use the crappy remote or visibly jiggle the screen by using the on-screen buttons. The WiFi function could be useful if properly implemented but it looks as if it was not.
I have the AD409. I 3D printed a tube extension, to raise it higher. The field of view is much better, and is now similar to my optical scope.
I was going to buy 407 pro… is 409 better?
@@delos86 My apologies. Typo. I have the AD407.

@@danielegger6460 the simple solutions are not necessarily the obvious ones. 🙂
On my Andonstar I mounted the scope on the end ring not the normal place, that makes the distance much greater. EDIT... yep just like that.
Ha! Funny you posted. I bought my 407 because of your Defpom video review. Love that scope! It's been treating me well. Thank you!
awesome!
Yeah I wish the remote worked better, mine doesn't work too well either, especially when I have my studio lights on to record video.
maybe it just needs a better filter for the small IR window..
I got the ADMS301, the largest, with a mount 1/4" mounting hole, to mount it on a microphone arm
Impressive product 👌
Thanks for sharing
Have you updated the latest software for the AD409...

that sounds interesting.
hm you don't like to use rubber eye guards on your trinocular? I can't use it without them.
I wonder if they're going to offer a polarization filter
"Windows only" How hard is it to make it available to MacOS and Linux? Gees.
Thanks, great review. Nice to know about the extra height stand.

Yes, I'm sure that after you "solder yourself" you will "make video screams". Hahaha. (OK, I know those were just typos, but funny nonetheless.)

I guess you don't have basic glasses that you can take off to use the microscope?

@@danielegger6460 ah understand, I usually flip them up then back down

To get a broader image, us a wide angle lens.

Thanks! I'll give that a try.
