As far as I can tell, that is a pretty good price?
Thoughts:
- I know that the articulating arm will wobble a little bit, but it's a must for the space I'm going to be using the scope in
- I don't do that much of really zoomed in work, so I guess a little wobble won't bother me too much
- I can attach an external monitor for inspection work
- Has 0,5x for soldering work from a distance
Any downsides? Any experiences with Eakins? = from what I can see, almost all the chinese microscopes are more or less the same
Well, that is exactly the same scope I've just sold, same eyepieces, bought from the same Aliexpress store, different stand, similar camera, mine was 36MP, also Panasonic sensor.
In my case, the camera was crap, those 36 Megapixels are interpolated resolution, not real resolution.I got a lot of noise on the video, and not so good looking photographs, like a heavely compressed image, I disliked it a lot.I also had the problems I mentioned earlier getting the oculars aligned for my eyes, but maybe that was a problem with me, I am malformed or something, or I just got a dud.
If it was me, I'll get one without the camera (and buy that separately), without the 2X barlow which you are not going to use, and preferably with 10x/22mm or 10X/23mm eyepieces.
