Aluminum Alloy Stand for USB/WiFi/LCD Digital Microscope Camera, Cainda Universal Metal Stand Holder (with Fill Light)

I recently purchased this microscope and was excited to get started using it. However, when it arrived, I noticed that the stand included in the package wasn’t the correct one. At first, I was a little disappointed, but I reached out to the seller, and they more than accommodated for the mistake. Their customer service was outstanding — they responded quickly, apologized for the mix-up, and immediately sent the correct stand without any hassle. Mistakes happen, but how a company handles them makes all the difference. In this case, they went above and beyond to make it right. The microscope itself works great and meets all my expectations. Clear optics, easy setup (once I had the correct stand!), and a solid build. I’m very happy with my purchase and would absolutely buy from this seller again.

The microscope preformed well. I got it to look at some rock samples, it performs as expected. Pretty solid product, however if you purchase the light grey product it doesnt come with a carry bag. Even though you pay more for it. Do yourself a favor and get the one with a carry bag if you plan to use it in the field. Otherwise seems to work just fine...

For the price that I paid around $49.99 it was great. Not a professional microscope so don't expect professional lab quality magnification . The image is good and grainy at times but expected to some degree. I intend to use it to show my daughter close-ups of insects and leaves so it will be perfect for that. It's like a high power magnifier with decent image quality. It's a plus that it works with WiFi to hook it up to my phone and tablet. I wish they made this as a professional lab microscope and I would definitely pay $200-300 for it but this is great for a starter wireless microscope / magnifier. I give it 5 stars for what I paid for it and for what it does. Really easy to use!

I made an easy sale for Amazon. I texted this photo of a baby pepper plant emerging from its seed to a friend, along with a link to the microscope's Amazon page. She texted back in 3 minutes to tell me she bought it. 2024 Update: I have been happily using the microscope for about four years. I prefer to use it with my desktop computer through a USB cable -- much better than using it through its WiFi connection to my phone. The high resolution images look large, sharp and beautiful on my 24 inch, 1920x1080 pixel desktop monitor. The microscope stand works pretty well, though I added a "Supereyes" X-Y gliding table to it so that I can more accurately adjust the position of whatever I am looking at. The gliding table is helpful but cost more than the microscope! NOTE: Some USB cables you may have received with other products are for charging only and do not carry data. They won't work with this microscope. The seller warns you about that on the Amazon listing page. You can't tell if you have a charging only USB cable by looking at it. So if your computer does not recognize the microscope when you plug it in, you may be using a charging only USB cable. Try another USB cable.

Well I've had it for a year and a half almost and it worked pretty well! The camera is fairly nice and easy to use on a computer. I never got it to work on a phone, which is what I wanted it for the most. Today the USB plug just fell in. It was a pretty flimsy connection from the start and I guess it just gave way. I didn't use it much, so I would estimate this is the 30th time I plugged it in. The base construction is ok, but it doesn't really go together in a way that makes you think it was designed right. The clamp around the device when you use the base blocks you from some of the buttons and controls if you are not careful...

I use this to take pictures of stamps and things in my collection. It is very easy to use, one click and it comes on after you get the software installed. If i had to choose one thing that could work better it would be the suction cup that holds it to the base. I have had it come loose a couple of times once it fell all the way to the floor because it came loose out of nowhere. But the microscope is fine still and now i make sure it isn't where it can fall again. Its so easy to use just make sure you have your file set to where you can find the pictures. I have mine set to upload straight to Onedrive. I also love the fact that I can study spore prints under this microscope. I didn't realize until now that I could refocus this microscope at a way higher resolution than when it first comes into focus. If you will just keep adjusting it after it goes out of focus it will eventually focus again but at a lot higher of a resolution. I give this microscope a very high rating it is very useful for the price. I didn't expect it to be as good as it is or as easy to use the install was very easy and once linked to my cloud account it uploads every shot automatically.

The Cainda is a well made product with good instructions. Controls are logical. Worked perfectly with Windows 10 Camera feature. I purchased the Cainda for looking at stereo turntable cartridges and styluses. For the stylus views, I was initially not able to see the form of an elliptical stylus. O may second attempt, I had much better luck. There is a learning curve in getting a good image, but a little effort will return good results. On my second attempt I was able to see a stylus shape fairly clearly (just barely enough magnification), and look forward to further developing my technique. Quick hint: place a piece of white paper on the surface of the base. The bead blasted aluminum base is reflective enough that the microscope's light reflects from it, significantly degrading image quality. Recommended.

I Ordered this microscope on Dec 24th and received it on Dec 30th, It arrived well packed and in good shape. I took my time before I wrote this review, to give it a fair shake. First of all, the metal stand is well constructed. The base is heavy enough to keep the camera stable during use. It has large rubber feet that keeps it from moving while in use. The adjustable stand has a smooth operation and the camera mount is capable of firmly holding the camera. The camera is constructed out of plastic. Personally I would have preferred a metal alloy construction but the overall construction is well made. On one side it has a power switch that doubles as a shutter button, a rotary dial for dimmer control of the LED lights. On the other side it has an up/down button to control digital zoom(which only works over the WiFi connection). The manual zoom dial takes up the lower half of the camera and has a smooth operation. The image quality if good and is a true 1080p image. The software provided can display in higher resolutions, but the data is interpolated and does not depict the true resolution. I tested the camera with A Windows based PC, a Chrome book and an Android phone. The android phone was the only devise that works with the WiFi feature of the camera. I found that during use, there is a data lag due to the WiFi connection that made it unsuitable for shooting videos but worked fine for basic magnification and taking stills. The best option for me is using the camera with the USB connection hooked to a PC or Chrome book, since my main use is for surface mount soldering and inspection. So for me there is little gain in the WiFi feature. The software that you can download for the PC is basic but functional. I do like the android version better because of the digital zoom feature. Overall I would say it is a good buy for the price and offers features of more expensive cameras.
