In this video, I introduce, demonstrate and review the Elikliv 7" LCD 1200x Digital Microscope. This same basic microscope is also sold under a variety of other brand names, often in slightly different bundles with accessories, firmware revisions, etc. I hope that most of what I cover in this video is also applicable to those other versions.
You can download my enhanced, detailed manual for this digital microscope here:

UPDATE 2-26-22
The Amazon listing for this microscope, and the “Instruction Manual” included with the microscope, both specify the magnification as 50x minimum and 1200x maximum, a ratio of roughly 24. By contrast, the “Instruction Manual” specifications page gives the ‘magnification’ as “500/1000”, a ratio of 2; a big difference between this and 24!
The author of this video has done empirical evaluation of the actual magnification. A thin metal ruler with 1mm graduations was placed on the Base and the microscope’s “transparent lens protector” was lowered until it touched the ruler, then the focus wheel was adjusted for a clear image on the LCD screen. A distance of approximately 2.14mm on the ruler was magnified to take up the entire width of the screen. Then the microscope was raised on its stand as high as it would go, and the image was focused once more. Now a distance of approximately 14.5mm was magnified to take up the entire width of the screen. This gives a ratio of about 6.8, again quite different from the ratios of 24 and 2 given in the “Instruction Manual”. Based on these measurements, the microscope’s maximum magnification, subject-to-screen (the screen is 153mm wide), is 153/2.14 = 71.5x, and the minimum magnification is 153/14.5 = 10.5x ….. ****** so the magnification specification SHOULD BE 10.5x ~ 71.5x !!!!!!!!!!!!! ****** If anyone can find fault with my empirical analysis of this microscope's actual magnification, or can defend the published 50x ~ 1200x numbers, please enlighten me in the comments below.
This was an excellent video about the Likliv Digital Microscope. I was able to easily follow along with you step by step as you demonstrated how the microscope works. I felt overwhelmed when I received my microscope today at the thought of having to figure out how the microscope work's. My anxiety quickly went away because you left no stone unturned in my opinion, when explaining the process in a clear, easy to follow manner. Thank You
Thank you, good job on your review. Amazing, they usually forget to show the maximum magnification or how the zoom works, but you hit it on the dot! Thank You!!
Good job. I'm considering buying it. Your review helped in my design.
Mine has been working fine.Thankfully. For the price, its awesome. 👌
Good Review you helped me greatly I agree they have the same name and Model Number for all the Elikliv Microscopes, ours is Model : EK-DM4S and it does not have the remote, good job explianing and helping me to figure out the controls!! Thank You ! :)
You have some crazy mad scientist shit going down there in your shop. Good thing you are one of the good guys.
Good job on the intro video. Thank you!
I got the same one...... But mine is branded as Hayve. Exact same microscope though.
The two cons I have is you don't have much room for bigger circuit boards and the gooseneck lights don't stay very good.
The bigger circuit boards is also worrying me about getting one of these, but I'm thinking it could be modded onto a microphone boom or something with the vertical rack / shaft thing mounted upside down. This way you could move the boom / arm where ever you need to be and fine adjust it with the vertical rack thing...
Brief? that was pretty in depth
Good video.
I just ordered one for my coins.
Thanks
Great review just bought one. Thanks
They do have stereoscopic ones with changeable lenses. Oh how time flies
Great video thank you 👍
just got ones this morning trying to hookup , not looking good
I have the identical unit. Hes correct on somethings but incorrect on others. It does come with a SD card. I thought the same but then my wife went back and looked in the box and there it was. You have to be looking for it to see it because it's in a very small sealed bag, like a zip lock bag. Also it does come with the power charger cable but not the charging block. The unit is a AWESOME unit and I do recommend for coin collecting as well as using for testing super small components on a motherboard.
Seems inconsistent. Just got one from Amazon today and it didn’t come with SD card, but mine did come with the micro use cable.
Jpsrsugusy, you are extrapolating your own individual experience, without considering that others might have different experienced. They are not right or wrong, just different. MINE included exactly what I reported in the video, no more, no less.
How do you fix the lights on the sides mine they stopped working and can't get them to turn them back on .. any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks
Contact the manufacturer, if they provided customer support info?
Can this be mounted onto something like a microphone boom / arm instead of the base ?
Maybe by turning the vertical rack mounted upside down, so its not in the wayof bigger circuit boards ?
Great Video. I just ordered the unbranded version. And glad I looked for info on it. I would like to ask. I just want to use it for real time. Is there any special I need to click to view object? Or once turned on and in menu can start viewing. I am very new to these types of things. Thanks!
20 minutes before the first image !!
yvesrochet3288, OK, you can tell time and type "!!".....what's your point?
@@youtuuba I also skipped a lot but I told here just to make a point that some people pretend to watch the things the way they want instead of uploading their own work and being JUDGED by the community!
And at the beginning of the video you clearly stated that it was a "live" review and that you didn't know the device let alone you're a technician not a TH-camr!
I thank you so much for your video and for your time, yes I skipped a lot but I still learned a lot!
Yves the impatient, what is your point? That you don't know how to fast forward to parts that amuse you?
@@youtuuba He is the kind of lazy and spoiled holiday maker who goes overseas only to stay within a resort's walls waiting for the staff to serve him at the pool LOL
Just don't waste your time with ignorant people!
The main problem for me using this one is that I cannot zoom out to see the ful coin and take a picture of it. It works great zooming in on the date and mint mark but not seeing the whole coin in a picture. I am going to return this because of this problem
You need to spend at least $400 for a basic unit, they have better stereo lens.
Good effort but hard to watch due to rambling and excessive detail about obvious things. Pity since you would be a very good reviewer otherwise. Just some planning and editing would make all the difference. Your thoroughness is appreciated but watching someone mosey through an evaluation is of limited appeal.
big-league, thanks for your comment, but I am not a professional TH-cam content creator. To do the kind of prepared review and discovery you suggest would take way more time than I have. As it is, my approach (especially with unfamiliar devices that I am learning as I shoot video) is good enough to help people. I try to be detailed, because I cannot predict which little detail might be important to some viewer. As for whether my approach limits the appeal to some viewers, I simply don't care.
@@youtuuba Fair enough. You're way ahead of me as I lack the initiative to make a single video, LOL. Have fun and rock on I guess. But maybe a slightly modified approach with a bit of editing would be easier than you think and reach more folks? I mean you must care a little or why be here at all? I'll shut up now and see myself out . .
Yeah skipped 80% to get to what I wanted
@@bigalexg I very much appreciated the reviewer's in-depth approach to how to work the scope. Saved me a lot of frustration.
Hit menu and it gives the option to delete
there is some software for the microscope ?
When I turn it on my battery keep saying low battery then within 10-15 second it shut off. Is there a way to fix it? I change the battery but not the exactly the same as the blue one then it stay on for like 10 mins then shuts off again and no it’s back doing the same thing.
New battery
focusing range 10 to 40mm , would like to see anyone tring to solder under it lol.
Is there a switch to turn on the two side lights, just turning the wheel on the bottom of base does not turn the lights on...hnnn
timjohnson, as I recall you just rotate the dimmer thumbwheel until the base lamps dim and then turn off. If yours dies not do that AND if it is the same model as the one in this video of mine, then I think it is defective.
@@youtuuba I guess mine must be defective
You will find the battery does not last long enough to do PC board job's the get round is plug it into your laptop goto charge mode the scope will stay on running from the usb power
Leso204, I don't think this microscope would be a good choice for actual "PCB work" involving soldering, since without binocular vision there would be no depth perception. I can see it being useful for PCB inspection.....
very clear video tuts....thnx
How do you zoom in? I can’t zoom in on mine.
Juanramos, just read the instructions!
Turn it off and turn it back on and it will recognize the card
Did you use such a microscope as an electrical engineer? Or does your interest stem from the Heath kits?
Dean W, I don't know why my reason for having this microscope has to be one of the options you cited. I just got it because I have been working with some vintage magnetic core memory projects, and needed a microscope for that.
@@youtuuba The microscope is an interesting piece of equipment not owned by most households. My inquiry was trying to determine what you might use it for- I was just curious. Given that you had mentioned you were an electrical engineer and are involved with heath kits, I did not know if this was an essential tool for those pursuits or something else. I am merely trying to understand how and what is uses are. Sorry, if I am being too intrusive. I just enjoy ALL of your videos and like learning from you.
how's the screen lag when soldering
There is none ............
Awful audio. Lots of background noise.
I came for demons. Very disappointed
