The stand is great and has alot of cool features. The only issue I'm having is with the mounting screw that attaches the camera to the stand. It's pretty short and I have a hard time getting it mounted, there should be more threads on the screw.

Measuring only 2 x 2 inches, it fits easily in your pocket or bag. The built-in clip lets you attach it directly to your smartphone, laptop or camera for on-the-go lighting. Dual dials control power and lighting effects (including flicker options) and intensity, giving you complete creative control. It even has a rechargeable USB-C port for easy charging and a camera mounting bar for tripod mounting. Although the material has a plastic feel, it seems sturdy and ready for your adventures.

A microscope can have high magnification, but poor resolution. Racking the microscope from up to down optically projects an ever-smaller portion (field of view) of the specimen onto the microscopes CCD sensor. The result is magnification with increased resolution (limited by the optics and CCD resolution). The up/down buttons on the microscope digitally magnify by selecting a subset of the sensor’s pixels and digitally upscaling them. The image is bigger (magnified), but there is no increase in resolution (like watching SD programming upscaled on a HD set). The pixel density of the display determines the viewed specimen size on the screen. A good analogy is an HD video is much smaller on your phone than on a large-screen HD TV, but both have the same HD resolution. It’s just that the cellphone is smaller with a far greater pixel density. Magnification without increased resolution is sometimes called “empty magnification”. It is fine for soldering circuit boards, but not useful where both magnification and resolution are needed (i.e., cell structure).
I made the following measurements using a slide (w/ mm scale) and measuring the apparent size on the scope’s screen (no zoom):
- High point (Lowest Power): 22mm on slide measured ~90 mm on screen (~4x) with ~23x13 mm FOV
- Low point (Highest Power): 2 mm on slide measured ~90 mm on screen (~45x) with ~2 mm x 1.1 mm FOV
The digital zoom button (up arrow) provides an additional 2x zoom (~90x max on the microscope's display). Displaying the image to a 27” HD display provides ~6x increase in apparent image size, but no increase in resolution. I assume the CCD sensor is HD (1980x1080), but could not confirm.
Images were sharp with good color on the microscope screen. I would rate the build quality as average for the price. The lighting system is good (and adjustable), but could use better diffusers. The gooseneck lights are definitely needed at low focus (high rack). The UV filter is threaded, but attached with double-sided tape. The rack and pinon focuser had a bit of play, but acceptable in this price range. The barrel focuser was a little stiff. Wireless control did not work out of the box, but I was able to move the circuit board to make contact the battery (not included). No PC software was in the box, nor a download link provided; however, the seller did provide link on request. The instruction manual left a bit to be desired – but all-in-all, my initial impression is that it is acceptable for its intended purpose (i.e., viewing objects visible to the naked eye and circuit board soldering).

Short and sweet in advance✅

The K&F Concept surveillance camera
I was very pleased to be able to test this camera as part of the Vine program. It is a 2K camera that is suitable for outdoor use. The special feature is that the camera is powered by a solar panel that is included in the scope of delivery. The scope of delivery also includes mounting materials for installing the camera. The camera is well made. The connections / buttons are protected against wind and weather with caps. An app must be downloaded to use the camera. You then have to register and can then integrate the camera into the WLAN. The app can then be used to access the camera and adjust the settings. The camera delivers a razor-sharp image - the image quality is top in my opinion. The camera can be panned and tilted via the APP - this expands the visible area. People are recognized by infrared and the camera can then start recording - a plus in terms of security, especially at night. The recordings can be stored in the cloud (costs may apply here) or saved on an SD card. However, this is not included in the scope of delivery. Overall, I think it's a great product at a reasonable price.

I bought this because the kit provides me with the variety of filter mounts I need to cover my lenses. I have not seen any problem with unevenness or color streaks in my images. Focusing is a challenge, of course, due to the filter density. The mounting rings attach securely to my lenses and the connection between the rings and the filter holder is solid. My filter fits firmly in the holder. I suggest inserting the filter into the holder "off camera." Screw the appropriate mounting ring onto your lens, and then "click" the filter/filter holder combination into place. While still holding the camera in one hand and the filter holder in the other, try to wiggle it or pull it off to test that it is firmly attached and that it won't fall off while you are shooting.

Feels incredibly solid with its metal construction. Mounting the lens to the adapter and the adapter to my camera felt very smooth. I really didn't expect this level of quality from such a cheap adapter!

In a nutshell
+ high-quality camera
+ good image quality, night vision
+ energy from solar panel

As the title says it is light and sturdy. Materials seem to be good quality (haven't had it long so I will update if it breaks unexpectedly) the rotating ball is a very nice touch, makes for some unique shot set ups.

Overall it seems as if it was actually designed by someone that wanted a tripod capable of being used in plenty of rugged situations.

If I was to harp on something it would be the camera mount. Most parts are made from high quality aluminum so I would like to see the mount done the same rather than plastic. As well (this is probably me not mounting it right) but the mounting plate that goes on the camera doesn't seem to fit like others do and it feels loose. I fixed it with a bit of craft foam to get it tight but I would like to see a mounting plate that fits an older camera a bit better.

Solid buy especially for the price.
