Andonstar AD246S-M HDMI Digital Microscope - 2000x, 3 Lens 2160P UHD Video Record, 7 Inch LCD Soldering Microscope

This is an excellent Microscope. I'm using it for soldering SMD components and it really helps. It came with everything you need to get started with it. Has various swappable lenses for different levels of magnification (from close to mega-close!). It actually comes with some slides that contain stuff you can look at under this microscope. You can snapshot, record what you're looking at on the screen. You can even plug in a second HDMI display. I plugged a bigger screen in and it works perfectly. Long story short, this was a fantastic buy at a very reasonable price and comes with everything you should need to get Microscoping (if that is a word!) Rob :D

I'd highly recommend this microscope. With the three lenses it has versatility. I use mine with the L lens for close up PCB work. It has a great working range and has the ability to stream through the HDMI port at the same time as viewing the work piece on the 7" screen. Ideal for viewing on a bigger screen. The picture quality of the built in screen is very good compared to other microscopes. The image quality from the camera sensor is also impressive. Thr are a few things to bear in mind though. The UHD resolution along with it's 1080p 60fps capability is for recording on to the SD card only and not the output resolution of the HDMI port or via USB. Also it's not a true 4K resolution as the aspect ratio at that setting is 4:3 and not 16:9. And if you wonder what the 3.5mm jack socket is for, which is sometimes hidden under a QC sticker, it's for an optional endoscope camera. Overall I would definitely recommend this microscope over others. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent microscope if you want high magnification. I struggled to get the magnification down to the level I need for working on watches - but that was because the focal lengths printed on the lenses fooled me. I assumed that the focal length they quote is as per telescope eye pieces, short-length = high magnification. The opposite is true for these, so I was working with the highest power lens. Only 4 stars because when all is said and done it is a modest resolution, slow speed, basic digital camera on a stand with a couple of lenses - so at £170, not a cheap camera. But if it is what you need, it is robust and effective.

Just what I expected really good microscope for children and adults wish it had Bluetooth so I could get the photos to my iPad easier so I had to order a micro Sim adapter as well. Overall, the build quality is sturdy and the lcd screen is excellent. The buttons can be difficult to be seen use the remote it’s easier. The different microscope attachments are very good and was easy to set up.

Package was delivered the next day. Unboxed it and tested it. I dont know if im better off with a 10 inch or not but the picture is very clear and clean. The height from a big circuit board is perfect. The zoom is very good with the L lens on a 7" monitor. The led are bright but should be much longer for a bigger circuit board in my opinion. But very happy with it so far.

but if I knew when I bought it what I know now I wouldn't have bought it.. This has been said before but the stand is really not that good, it's a bit restricted in movement but quite sturdy. An aquaintance has a different model but on his model the lenses are different, with his you can use lenses from other manufacturers and I assumed being the same brand this would be the same. My aquaintance has switched in an aftermarket wide angle lens for working on larger objects like pc motherboards. This one has a different l;ens system, in Adonstars words after I asked them "Hi. The bottom side of the lenses need to have specific threaded holes to install the screws to assemble the lens to the microscope, these are unique to Andonstar and cannot be used with other lenses" If I had known that before buying I would not have bought this. I am now restricted to the three plastic lenses they supplied with the scope. This should be made clear on the sales page. Very disapointed, the lenses provided are really not very good, the picture is good enough but I am now restricted to these lenses when I would have liked a wide angle lens for the same reason my aquaintance has one to enable work on larger items plus I intended to buy a better quality lens. I am replacing the stand with a boom from microphones to enable completely free movement but so disapointed about the lens. I don't understand why they would restrict these devices in this way. EDIT - Still annoyed about the lens not being able to be replaced with standard lenses but looking into a way to have an adapter 3D printed, anyway decided to make the best of what I had. THe stand that comes with this microscope is really restrictive with no real movement which is just about useable with miniature pcb's but when it comes to something bigger say a PC motherboard it really is a problem. To get around this issue I have removed the stand and added a Microphone boom arm. An idea I had seen talked about on some forums. Anyway I had some success and you can see the results in my pics. I can now move the scope around very easily and because of the way these boom arms work the scope always retains the same aspect relative to the work bench. I can almost cover the whole bench with it. The circular light leaves no shadow meaning a perfect view all of the time. Very pleased with the results.

The most important thing with using a microscope for soldering is getting a decent zoom while still being able to get a soldering iron underneath and this is known as the working distance. The long distance lens which comes with this set is very good as you can see from the first two photos. Plenty of room to work and very usable magnification. Fully lowered there is much less room but still usable. As with all of this type of microscope you loose depth perception and don't have so much control over the positioning which can be an issue with larger objects. However it is much cheaper than a stereo microscope with a boom arm which is what you would otherwise need

What a performer. Excellent display, nice sharp image. Very impressed.

Motsvarade helt mina önskemål, snabb leverans! Ett fantastiskt mikroskop med 3 olika objektiv. Klar och tydlig bild, lätt att ställa in fokus. Kan även koppas till TV eller datorn. Bra belysning som kan ställas in i olika positioner. Fick den levererad direkt till dörren. Skall användas till kretskort och lödning men även andra uppdrag väntar då den är lätt att använda.

Een heel mooi apparaat voor de gevraagde prijs. Het is natuurlijk niet bedoeld voor professioneel gebruik. Maar voor de semiprofessional. Je kunt er prachtig gedetailleerde foto's mee maken, die je vervolgens op de bijgeleverde sd-kaart kunt opslaan. Het is tevens mogelijk om op dezelfde manier te filmen. Ik heb zo al een printplaat (pcb) kunnen repareren, door de smd componenten optisch te vinden, die kapot waren en met het blote oog gewoon ok leken. Ik zal deze scoop met name gebruiken voor soldeer en desoldeer hulp, en ben daarom blij dat de afstand tot de printplaat en het objectief voldoende groot kan zijn, om meetpunten, soldeergereedschap enz ruim onder het objectief te kunnen gebruiken. Met bijgeleverde petridishes(?!) kun je tevens flink kleinere objecten bekijken van microscopische omvang. Deze glazen plaatjes bevatten enkele objecten, die je zichtbaar kunt maken via een meegeleverde onderliggende led verlichting. Ik heb een foto gemaakt vanaf mn beeldscherm met mn smartphone om een idee te geven. ( Anders had ik de sd-kaart uit het systeem moeten halen en op een pc moeten uitlezen 😁 Ik ben ook erg blij met de hdmi aansluiting, waarmee je ook het beeld direct op een monitor kunt plaatsen.

Ottimo articolo realizzato con buoni materiali. Una volta fatto l’unboxing ho provato ad assemblarlo senza guardare le istruzioni e devo dire che è di un’estrema semplicità. Come accennato prima i materiali sono dimensionati nel modo corretto e difatti non traballa ed una volta posizionato resta immobile. Gli ingrandimenti sembrano corrispondere a ciò che è descritto e la risoluzione è pulita e nitida con tutte e tre le lenti in dotazione, anche se al massimo degli ingrandimenti e’ normale che si debba prestare un po’ di attenzione alla corretta messa a fuoco. Ho trovato molto utile il cavo HDMI per collegare un ulteriore schermo anche se quello in dotazione ha già una eccellente risoluzione (io ho optato per quello da 7”). Anche i braccetti flessibili per l’illuminazione consentono di illuminare gli oggetti in posizione ottimale senza che ci siano zone in ombra. In totale ne sono contento e lo consiglio.

This does everything I ever wanted to be able to see closeup. Works great for circuit boards and fine detail painting of miniatures. Highly recommend!

I was a bit weary when taking it out of the box--it feels cheap. Cheap plastic, metal, etc. I can't speak for longevity, so hopefully it lasts me a while. But it works surprisingly well. HDMI output is fantastic, and can work as a web cam. They also have propriety software. I couldn't get it to work, but I received a support response very quickly that solved the problem. However, if they put the latest drivers on their website I wouldn't have had to reach out to support. It's possible I just didn't see where that download was. Either way, their support was fantastic. This seems like the "cheap" option, but it's surprisingly useful. It can record video, take screenshots, and these are exportable via USB or you can pop in a microSD card (also included). Uses mini hdmi to hdmi for video output, and it also includes an HDMI cable. I wish it would have included a downwards facing right angle HDMI (it includes two right angle usb cables--one for power/lights, the other for PC connection) but that's the only piece of kit that I thought was lacking. The instructions are clear, but there are a few details missing. As for the microscope operation it's decent. Doesn't feel professional grade, but it functions almost as well--and it works for checking out tiny issues on circuit boards. I was able to fix a few things I couldn't before, so that's exciting. It's cheapness does, unfortunately, come into play for some aspects. It's coarse adjustment is rough--it's just two collars, one locks and the other serves as a sort of stop so you can lock it where you want. Its fine adjustment is smooth and works predictably, however--and that's really the most important one. There is a digital zoom that is also pretty good. I don't like the fact that not all of the functionality on the unit is able to be adjusted for with just the controls on the display itself. Instead, you have to use the remote to access some functions and menus you can't otherwise. That means that losing the remote bricks some of the device's functionality. the 7 inch screen is clear, and good enough. HDMI and USB output is a plus, though outputting with USB puts a bit black box on the device's screen, almost forcing you to use the computer monitor. Outputting in HDMI doesn't have this problem, and I ended up using a capture card to grab clean HDMI output while using the scope's display without the USB black box obstruction. Overall, I'd recommend it as an affordable option--and it functions as well as some of the ~$400 dollar scopes I've used. I'm honestly impressed with its functionality. It does, however, FEEL cheap. And I don't know how long some of these parts are for. I also didn't use it for any at home biology observing--even though it comes with a light box/glass slide holder (it also comes with spring-tension slide clips for stereoscopic type viewing). I didn't use the light box or check out the slides, but it's really cool that they included it.
