When I first produced this video, the vendor provided some incorrect info regarding this device. I have corrected the information AND LINK in the description. This is a Dcord microscope, not an ANNLOV.
The still images this device records are pretty incredible. There are some things I looked at after I uploaded this vid that I wish I had done for the video, like the grooves on a record.
~ I Just Watched This Video. I Have Been Looking For Such A Device For My "Error Coin Hobby"... ~ In The Video.. You Said IT Is A Stand Alone Unit.. Which Is What I Want..

The extension arm would allow for a small light box to be placed underneath a photo slide. However, in the menu, I could not find a way to disable the led lights that surround the lens of the microscope, so the photo slide would receive direct lighting instead of just backlighting, and this is not ideal. I would rely on a photo slide scanner built specifically for that purpose instead.
@@ThriftyAV Good point about the lighting...I never thought of that. Regarding the photo slide scanners built for that purpose...if I could find a reasonably-priced one with good reviews I would buy it.
Enjoyed your review. I recently had purchased one (off Amazon) and it has no where near the features the one you have has. And I agree with your assessment that it's a tool
I treat sample products as if they are "on loan", but I hope the folks at Annlov don't ask for this back, as it will be my go-to device for looking at things close up.
Nice affordable microscope. Could be very useful for hobby soldering! Do you know if there is a decent affordable microscope with higher magnification? To see cells, bacteria etc - 400x plus.
For the magnifications you want, I would go with an optical labratory microscope. I have not used one of these since college, so unfortunately I cannot recommended one to you. I did find a BLOG on this topic. microscopetour.com/best-microscope-for-viewing-bacteria/
There is a significant difference between a frame grabbed from the 1080p video (2.1mp) and still images captured by this device that have the dimensions 5376x3024. If there is some interpolation trickery going on, it's doing it rather well. Some info about the sensor used in this device might shed some answers to this question.

Now that’s a very neat item and the image is nice

can you measure holes? Like diameters? Thx
Great video Martin 😊 That looks like something I would love to also review.
Does that actually record in 1080p? Good review!

Thanks for he disclamer, now I need to find someone that doesn't sell the thing.
Cool gadget
Yeah, a little different than my standard fare, but this one was fun! Hope all is well with you, Audio Electronics.
@@ThriftyAV Everything is well so far, just dealing with the cold weather and snow here in Chicago
With a suitable back-lit base it might be a good way of digitizing photo slides.
What do you think?

It looks exactly as the TOMLOV
With each microscope design, there seems to be several brand names. I've seen similar multi-branding with webcams, action cams, and microphones.
Price?
I don't usually mention price in a video, as they tend to change. I have an affiliate link in the description where you can check the current price.
I wonder if the photo resolution of 16mp is actual or interpolated. Perhaps 4mp is the actual resolution.

what about soldering PCB's? How much working room get you get?
More room means less zoom, but it should still work pretty good for this purpose.
