USB Microscope Camera with Stand & Carrying Case, Cainda Digital Microscope Compatible with Android Windows Linux Mac, Portable Magnifier Camera for Kids Students Adults(Not for iPhone/iPad)

Update: Ive had this scope for a liitle while now. I use it almost daily to look for bugs on my plants (especially russet mites). I absolutly love this thing and cant believe I ever grew anything without it. For the price it can not beat beat. Taking pictures or video is easy and really great quality. If there was more stars on the rating this would be a 10 out of 10. I just took this little scope out of the, read directions to make it work on my android phone, plugged it in and instantly was looking at excellent quality video on my phone. I use otg view which setup perfectly and has fun functions. It came with a nice case and the dual mode usb cable is a great idea. Im very impressed with how easy this microscope is to setup and use, the picture quality, the focus feature and the light that you can dim. The stand is nice and solid too boot. If this thing breaks in a week I will still give it 5 stars for the price and everything else. I highly suggest this for anyone who needs to magnify anything. I guess Ill see how long it lasts.

This microscope has become one of the most useful pieces of equipment in my collectibles workflow. The clarity and zoom range make it easy to spot micro‑scratches, print defects, edge issues, and small varieties that are impossible to catch with the naked eye. For coins and currency, it’s perfect for checking mint marks, die cracks, doubling, and surface condition. For trading cards, it helps verify corners, edges, and surface texture before listing. The stand is steady enough for hands‑free inspection, which keeps images sharp and consistent. The carrying case is compact and protects everything when I’m moving between my home office and sourcing spots. Setup was quick, and it works smoothly across different devices, which keeps the process efficient. For the price, this microscope delivers real value for anyone who buys, grades, or resells collectibles. It’s accurate, reliable, and makes my listings more confident and my sourcing decisions more profitable.

I bought this specifically for one purpose-- to check for stress cracking on a bent steel part. I wanted to make sure there were no visible cracks on an intact part, and I wanted to inspect the crack on a failed part. Since I knew I wouldn't be using this all that much, I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I have some familiarity with fairly high-end microscopes such as the stereo scope sold by Mantis. I don't always have access to it and wanted something I could keep on my desk for quick first-pass inspections. I was fully aware that I'd be taking a significant hit on quality and performance, but for this application it didn't really matter. The first thing I did when I got it was to look for software that would run it. I'm not a fan of installing whatever mystery software is included with bargain-basement equipment like this, even if it passes all tests the VirusTotal website can throw at it. Besides, what computer still has an optical media drive in 2024? Mine sure doesn't. I settled on the Oasis Scientific Vividia software, which is free and runs as a single executable file with no install required. It's an older, no-frills piece of software, but it works. You'll have to re-select the USB microscope every time you want to run it, as it defaults to the computer's internal camera (webcam) and won't remember the new settings once you close the program down. But it's free and VirusTotal gave it a clean bill of health, so for now it's what I use. The camera works fine, though it too is a bit quirky. You can adjust the magnification, but it also adjusts the focal length at the same time. What this means is that there will only be one particular sweet spot for focus at a given microscope-to-part distance. If you want different magnification, you'll have to move the microscope up or down until the focal point you have matches the amount of magnification you want. This was not unexpected but it gets fiddly because the microscope's stand is not cumbersome to adjust. A rack-and-pinion height adjustment would be worlds better, but you won't that for $20. Maybe someday I'll design and 3D print my own. Yeah, right, like I have the time to do all that. Adjusting the focus is done with a rotating ring on the body of the microscope. Adjusting it also tends to shift the microscope around since the stand is not particularly rigid, so you end up chasing the focus around a bit. If you need to hold the part off-angle like I did, you end up needing three hands. But for $20, all of this is to be expected. The good news is that you can get good-quality images out of this thing. Mine works on my Windows PC and on an Android phone. For Android I use the Camerafi2 app that also works on my 14-foot endoscope cam. I was able to use the USB-C to USB-A adapter that came with the microscope, but only when I removed my phone's case. If I decide to use this with my phone in the future, I'll invest in a male USB-C to female USB-A cable to work with my phone case. This isn't the best USB microscope you can find. It's a very inexpensive piece of equipment that is still way better than not having any microscope at all. It produces reasonably good images if you're patient and is a good first scope if you just want to experiment. If you plan to use a scope more frequently, I strongly recommend a more expensive model with better ergonomics. However, for infrequent use on a tight budget, this is a viable choice.

This camera is excellent for the price. The stand that comes with it isn't great. It needs a heavier base to keep the camera from tipping. Also, the round base gets in the way of the object you're looking at. But it does a good job. After reading all the negative reviews, I've concluded that they just didn't know how to use the camera. For instance, you don't have to clip in the camera 180 degrees backwards, block the focus dial, in order to make the image right-side up. The scope needs to be as close as possible, without touching the object you're viewing. They must of had the scope too far away from the object. Even so, in the settings you can select to flip and mirror the image, if needed. I like how the zoom button keeps the image in focus. The light is dimmable as well. Plus! it comes with a carrying case. Installing it on a Windows 10 PC was very easy. Popped in the mini CD that comes with it, installed the software, plugged in the scope, and was up and running in minutes. Only complaint is the very cheap stand. So buy this camera knowing the base is just included to give you the ability to use the scope right out of the box. Honestly? It wouldn't be that bad if the base was weighted for better stability. Which is key when using the focus dial. You will want to purchase a quality camera mount if you plan to use this on a daily bases. I recommend pairing this scope with a good metal rack-n-pinion camera mount. Doing so will make this inexpensive camera comparable to some higher priced scopes. Without question.

Die Kamera ist sehr leicht zu bedienen und die Bilder sprechen für sich. Als Hobbyfotograf habe ich schon lange mit dem Gedanken gespielt, neben herkömmlichen Makroaufnahmen auch mal etwas "Mikroskopie Fotografie" zu betreiben. Da ich erst einmal schauen wollte was es so gibt, viel meine Wahl auf diese Kamera. Ich war völlig vorurteilsfrei von bisherigen Rezensionen und bestellte die Kamera. Kann nichts schiefgehen für das Geld. Da für mich nur eine Bildwiedergabe am PC in Frage kommt, habe ich erst gar nicht versucht irgendeine APP auf dem Handy zu installieren. Kamera ausgepackt - USB verbunden - fertig. Ohne Installations CD oder Treiber aus dem Netz zu installieren. Sie wurde von meinem PC sofort erkannt und es konnte losgehen. Absolut kein Problem. Die Schärfe lässt sich gut regulieren und auch das eingebaute Ringlicht ist stufenlos in der Helligkeit anzupassen. Das Einzige was mir etwas missfällt ist der Original Standfuß der Kamera. Er ist sehr leicht und bei jeder Bewegung ruckelt es ganz schön. Da ich aber auch viel selbst bastele habe ich mir einen festeren Stand gebaut, der auch stufenlos regulierbar ist um scharfe Bilder zu erzeugen. Also abgesehen von dieser kleinen Modifikation kann ich über die eigentliche Kamera nichts negatives sagen. Sicherlich gibt es auch weit aus teurere Geräte. Aber jeder soll für sich selbst entscheiden, welche Ansprüche er hat. Sicherlich werde ich mich auch später einmal nach etwas Höherwertigen umschauen. Aber bis jetzt bin ich voll zufrieden und habe Spaß daran, kleine Dinge mal ganz anders zu betrachten.

الجهاز رائع في جودة التوضيح مع سهولة في التوصيل ان كان ب الهاتف المحمول او جهاز الكمبيوتر

Windows'ta kamera olarak otomatik olarak tanınıyor, driver yüklemeye gerek yok. Android için play store'daki herhangi bir usb kamera uygulaması ile çalışıyor. Ben Samsung Note 10 kullanıyorum, herhangi bir otg kablosuna ihtiyaç duymadan doğrudan type c ile kullanabildim.

Todo bien y funciona

A nice little unit that does what I bought it to do! The zoom is great! It took me a bit to reliably control the magnification levels I required but once I figured out how the holder moved it worked much better. The light is adjustable which allows you to remove any glare from intensity. I found the maximum illumination way too bright for any of my close up samples but really helps if the sample is further away. The picture quality is amazing just like adjusting on my camera based on depth or distance from lense. This is a good quality microscope/ digital camera. Definitely a good value for the money.
