I'll have to check. I never tested UHD since I record my videos in 1080. You may need to check the class of your memory card. Lower classes can do HD video fine but UHD needs a higher class to handle the bandwidth of the higher resolution. So yeah I'd check that first ☺️
I like to treat myself with my birthday money every year because I'm worth it 😆 Screw paying the bills or responsibility! I've never painted miniatures but I'm wondering if this may be a bit overkill with the lenses? Andonstar makes a bunch of different models. I'm sure the tabletop community can give you better insights too 🙂
@@titanrepairs Thanks for your suggestion, I have a 2x (not sure if it's 3x) 10 cm diameter of loupe on hand, but the power is still not enough to see the details. I also try 5x and 10x loupe which can help seeing more details but the short focus distance is not good for painting. last night, I purchased sony imx334 camera + 200x zoom + stand around 220USD which can get 10 - 17 cm working distance. Hopefully it's a right choice.XD
@@bibo987945 How about one of those visor-zoom-things? They could be amazing for painting, even more if object is hand held and you can manipulate it... Also the focal depth would be really bad for painting on a microscope like this... If you want it on screen: Get a 4K industrial cam and hdmi it to your TV or monitor. And then a lens with more focal depth...
@@mcbrite If you're talking about something like surgical glasses, the high quality one isn't cheap. The camera imx334 is very nice, but is not suitable for painting. Maybe the bino-microscope would be the right choice.
Hey! I just got this scope. Just wondering if yours has an annoying black square on the screen that says “pc camera” that doesn’t go away when it’s connected to a computer?
I think they neglected to include the USB power block in your package. I unboxed 3 different models of theirs, including yours, and all of them were packaged with power blocks. Btw, I never figured out what those screws were for either.
That is possible. Though I don't remember seeing it included on the list of things that it came with. Though frustratingly a lot of companies are neglecting to include it. I just bought a new Motorola Razr and it wasn't included either. Anything to save these companies a penny right? And the price I paid for the phone it should have been included. I'm just glad I went nuts in my home and installed a bunch of USB outlets. But people who didn't now have to buy these power adapters. And there's a lot of cheap crappy ones that can ruin devices.
@@titanrepairs - Yep, I think phone manufacturers figure that the majority of phone buyers still have an old phone with a power block still plugged in and available for re-use. In most cases I think they are right, as supported by the large bag of charging blocks on a shelf in my closet.
@@titanrepairs Honestly, there's so many of these damned things I actually respect companies not including them. We have enough electronic and plastic waste. I have north of 20 of them, most of which I don't even have a use for (for the exact reason of getting one with every product for a decade). Not sure how in 2024 with people buying as many electronics as they have in the last decade, people aren't overflowing with these things. I'm perfectly fine companies continuing not to include them, and if/when I eventually need one, they're pennies on the dollar. I do appreciate the review though. Hope it's held up for you as I'm about to buy one in 5 minutes.
Unfortunately with this microscope, there is no audio recording capabilities. Which makes it quite a challenge to sync it up with my camera 😂 There's probably a way to output it to a computer and record sound that way. I just haven't tried it yet.
I use Andonstar microscope (but with a different model) to do some basic soldering. It’s amazing. I love it a lot!
Nice review and HBD
Thank you 🙏 It was my first one and glad people are enjoying it 😊
Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot.
I'm glad you found the information useful ☺️
If you go to UHD and try and press record does yours work? Mine does not. All other modes record video at the resolution chosen but UHD no.
I'll have to check. I never tested UHD since I record my videos in 1080. You may need to check the class of your memory card. Lower classes can do HD video fine but UHD needs a higher class to handle the bandwidth of the higher resolution. So yeah I'd check that first ☺️
This is really useful tool for birthday gift.
I was considering to choose this one or cheap bino-microscope (7x-45x) for painting miniature.

I honestly never tried hooking it up to my computer. I just haven't had a need to for my purposes.

My recordings don't have any audio. Is there a trick to enable audio?

@titanrepairs Thanks. After making a recording, I opened the video in VLC and it showed an active AAC audio channel, which is why I asked.
I think the LB on the penny stands for the designer, Lyndall Bass
Thanks for the info! That makes sense.
