This is the best channel I've came across on UA-cam. I almost watch 2-3 videos of you daily. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I've learnt a lot from you 🔥❤️
I wanna thank you for your videos, thank you for letting us be a part of your work, you explanations and your thoughts. I know cutting videos takes so much time. Do that all perfect, i love the way you do that and they way you love electronic stuff and gadgets and tools. I learned a lot from your videos, thank you👍👌
It's probably worth mentioning, that when you lay back, you don't inhale those toxic fumes that were generated during soldering. I know you guys are using some kind of ventillations, but still, it's a big advantage for someone who does this during the whole day.
Yep, fume extractors help but they can't get all of it. Plus the added benefit that you're not hunched over squinting into a scope all day does wonders for your neck and back and lowers eyestrain.
Honestly, i bought a cheap otg microscope at ebay and connected to my phone and place to a comfortable position like your posture @Mr. Alex and i got used to it after 3 hrs of practicing micro soldering its not the best microscope but it serve its purpose. Maybe im used to playing vr-gaming , because the feeling is so much alike cause the brain is detached from the physical hand,
This is fascinating. I thought you only used the camera for video posting purposes. I didn't know you used it for practicality. Can't wait to save up the funds to grab one of these.
the work you put in is appreciated, i certainly appreciate it, i dont do repair but if i did decide to start your channel is the first place i would go to for info and help
The problem with stereomicroscopes is that it takes a while to fine tune your setup (chair/desk/microscope height ... etc) Once you have the right setup and are used working with them they are WAY better than any camera microscope.
Not for everyone they are not. It's not a one size fits all. Some people just can't get used to stereo scopes, or have unusual eye prescription for example.
Aww man I was just thinking about how can I make this more comfortable and you just answered all my questions. It’s always a pleasure watching your videos
Like your method however it is important to have a monitor and a camera with high response time. Please let your followers know what is the response time in m/s. Thanks
Non of the other people will go so far, really appreciate your review, don't care if your making money from this item. The fact is you went to the trouble to demonstrate the features, try getting that in a shop these days.
I solder all day with a microscope and it absolutely does strain my back and neck. I actually get very exhausted by the end of the day from it. I’ve tried using the camera to my monitor as well and it’s difficult for me because I’m so used to the microscope. Maybe I’ll try it for a week just to see how it goes, self diagnostics lol.
Haha I forgot about this. I did try using only my monitor but after about an hour I couldn’t take it anymore. I’ve gotten way to used to looking into my scope to work. I’ve even put back my rubber eye cups to focus better. For some it’ll work out but for me I prefer looking into my scope eyepiece.
pick a correct pinset with comfortable weight and length on your hand and practice your hand on surface to hold the weight of your hand to avoid wobbles. I did practice like that. and it works for me
Did we learn something? Oh yes! What do we think about your videos? They are "AWESOME". I must say I didn't know about the other things you spoke about and now I do. Thank you.

A single lens takes away depth perception so the stereo microscope does have some advantaged but I must agree, using a stereo microscope does give neck strain and I wake up with a headache because of it.
There is always a solution, you also have binoculars with 5x-20x enhancement, one they use jewel making or some surgeons use. To work on electronic boards what have you you could make an arm that could do all the movements you need, and you place a non static board on that arm or mount that can have all the movements you need, and some clamps that don't damage the board so you can sit backwards in your chair and still see what you solder, a light can be made on the arm or so. It all can be made under some 100-200 euro's
Hi Johny thinking to buy the same microscope, but I don't know which stand to buy, you got it already, is the camera autofocus or manual focus? are you using the amscope or other stand?
@@alrepairs777 first and foremost let me just say after having it for all these months, that it’s worth it. Yes it’s a little pricey, but considering it’ll last you years, it’s amazing and the quality is just as amazing. It is a manual focus and I use the same stand that Alex uses (the AmScope one), I did use a different stand beforehand but it was terrible so I just went all out and got the AmScope one and man it really all is an amazing bundle, good luck bro!
@@johny1220 Thank you my friend for your quick and honest respond, really appreciated!, I think I have to save more to buy the Amscope stand as well, Good luck to you too brother!
I love your videos, I like them a lot and I will start now here in Portugal, and I will buy a cheaper micro. In the future if things go well, I will think of one just like yours and buy from your store. In this case I am starting by trying to recover a board from a pioneer receiver, desoldering some DTS audio chips..... Thanks for all your explanations, good videos, and all the best to you there. If I was closer I would have applied for the job you were offering :) I am thousands of miles away.
Favorite channel. Is hard passing from stereo microscope to this one... Time will say. Anyway keep up. Maybe one day you can show us all the other equipment you got
Just got a stereoscope for removing wood slivers. I could not afford one with a camera. for long hours I believe your method should be standard. Posture is everything for a healthy life. Luckily I just do hobby work with jewelry and engraving a few hours a day. I would most certainly do this if I were at work.... a no Brainer for me.
Cool channel, now I'm motivated to fix my dead mabookpro, it was dead because some water got into the motherboard (I was riding motorcycle with my macbookpro in my backpack during heavy rainfall, my raincoat was comprimised). I will try to fix it!
That's explain the problem with my neck and back.......There are some advantages and dissadvantages using camera and the microscope itself. On the stereo microscope you can see crystal clear image and the screen will never show the same as the real picture. But if i think my back pain i better do the same soon before its too late.
Love your videos man literally thought you were from some other country because of your accent your only 1 hour away from me lol will definitely stop by your shop one day when I’m out there good good content and I’m planning on buying a microscope from you
The advantage of a stereomicroscope is the perception of depth, which is simply not possible with a lens. Apparently the property of depth perception is not decisive, is it?
I agree you are saving your eyes from strain, but I feel the thing lost is you loose is the sense of depth, but if it works for you great for me maybe once I get older I might try your method cause I don't want my eyesight to fail faster because of using a stereo microscope. I could see myself using your method one day for sure. The one good thing is with recording sometimes I record stuff with my microscope that isn't visible on the screen but I am able to see it in person so it isn't good for recording but you won't have the issue with that with your method.
Can you make a setup review showing how do you connect the camera and the microscope to make the videos. Seems like you push a button to change from the camera to the microscope to help you with the edition
He bro! Does that cam has got thermal imaging too. And the 2nd thing the whole package is of microscope,lens and so called 0.5 x barlow lens, and last but not the least! the price in INR as am from India. The final thing thank u & god bless u!
very helpfull, i just bought trinocular microscope and i feel not comfortable. i think more easy to get use do it with digital microscope than bino/trinocular and more comfort for the eyes.
I just purchased the microscope on your website. I also followed the link to your recommendation for the stand so I bought that as well. I cashed in my cryptocurrency for the purpose of investing in a new trade to learn. I know that with time, dedication and practice I can accomplish many things. I live 15 minutes away from your shop so I hope to stop by someday to say hello. Thank you for the encouragement you provide through your videos. I now have to save up for the solder station. If you have a used one for sale or an alternative model that will work then please let me know.
I’ve got trinocular microscope and a c mount microscope, bought both at the same time, actuality’s it was birthday present so I never bought them, I tried the camera and I can’t do it looking at a screen
Does this camera has function to reduce glare and is this manual or auto focus? Appreciate if you could confirm before I place an order. BTW great educational information and videos you share. Thank you.
Would this camera work with any of the other amscope stands. I'd rather prefer one with a base that sits on the desk as to one with an articulating arm that clamps to the side of the desk.
I got this microscope from your website a few months ago and I love it, but I really just wanna know how to screen capture, it won’t show up when I record something, please tell me how?
Depends on how much soldering you do and how much flux you use. For an average hobbyist 10ml of flux will last months if not years. You really don't need to use a lot. Those globs you see him put on? They're about the size of a grain of rice going up to maybe the size of a pea maximum. Although with someone inexperienced with soldering I usually say err on the side of using too much flux as opposed to using too little. Too much flux just means you have a bigger cloud of fumes and a bigger mess to clean when done, too little and you have trouble with getting the solder to flow and wet your tip and parts nicely and making the job more difficult.
This is the best channel I've came across on UA-cam. I almost watch 2-3 videos of you daily. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I've learnt a lot from you 🔥❤️

One hint at a good scope is to work on concrete floor too . Wood floors in homes will vibrate every time you move .
The problem with stereomicroscopes is that it takes a while to fine tune your setup (chair/desk/microscope height ... etc)
Once you have the right setup and are used working with them they are WAY better than any camera microscope.
Not for everyone they are not. It's not a one size fits all. Some people just can't get used to stereo scopes, or have unusual eye prescription for example.
Aww man I was just thinking about how can I make this more comfortable and you just answered all my questions. It’s always a pleasure watching your videos
Another advantage of using the camera over the eye piece is that chances of the technician inhaling flux and solder fumes is less.
Good point
Comfort is the most important in any work station, what you did to your work station is the best configuration 👍👍
Makes total commonsense about your posturing with using that type of scope and not the twin eyes ones👍
Like your method however it is important to have a monitor and a camera with high response time.
Please let your followers know what is the response time in m/s.
Thanks
First one, hihi!
Ordered myself one, too. Love it!

For some it’ll work out but for me I prefer looking into my scope eyepiece.
it's hard at first time, but I get to used it in a day practice. and now I easily point any components on a board.
@@za-se4jv no, just a magnifier LOL

Good points, watching people use stereo microscopes the first thing that came to mind is what it will do to your neck/back long term.
There is always a solution, you also have binoculars with 5x-20x enhancement, one they use jewel making or some surgeons use.

your the best of the best, i wish i could get a full course from you here in Israel
Our online courses are starting in January. More details will follow.
Great video sir.
Watching from Phillipines
Thank for the shop managing advice.. grazie
I wish you can sell some of the adapters separately.
I just 3d printed my own, maybe you could look into someone local to that for you?
We have a new shipment coming in Dec1-Dec10. I'll make sure we have an option to buy the adapter and lenses separately.
