The ability to use different lenses and different levels of magnification on each has been very beneficial. I especially like the increased working distance as compared to my much more expensive Mantis microscope. I am using the flexible arm to provide more flexibility and I am happy with my choice. I would like a more robust flexible arm as this one does bring some vibration / wobbling if I disturb the table it is mounted to. This would not be an issue if you mounted to something more sturdy like a workbench.
Overall, and excellent value and Kentfaith provides excellent support.

Edit: the customer service was excellent and first reached out to me just asking how the product was and i expressed a worry I had about a joining nut for the arm. They fixed my worry and updated their equipment, sending me a modified (longer) nut for FREE! I am fairly certain they adjusted that feature for the other microscopes they are still selling. I appreciated that greatly since it was more of a worry than any real issue, the original works fine, i just felt like it didn't have very must wiggle room.
Everything came professionally packed. It is slightly tricky to set up (attaching a joining nut) , but the directions explain it perfectly. The camera is in as real time as i can see and the frame rate is adjustable. The Digital zoom works great and maintains crispness m IMO indicating a higher resolution than what the screen provides zoomed out. This product is worth the money.

Got this for electronics repair so far it's preformed fanomanally beeing able to record and take pictures of the work I'm doing has also been helpful when customers ask about the repairs and diagnosis of the damaged parts will consider getting more when it comes time to expand

This thing is SO COOL and is my favorite recent purchase. I mostly bought it to examine coins and I can't believe the zoom and details of the image, especially for the price. I've also used it for mechanical watch repair and it worked great for that as well. No more squinting through a tiny loupe!

Very good for the price. Good picture. Zoom is by moving camera up and down and refocusing. Well made. Focusing could be smoother. Base lock collar should have rubber washer for tighter locking. Camera and screen drop as soon as lock nob loosened. Need to wrap hand around post under camera and screen to adjust zoom.

This is a really cool microscope that we’ve had such educational fun with my kids as we home school. As shown in the video the set up isn’t super difficult. Love the big screen and that you can insert a micro so card to save images.

This microscope sets up in about five minutes. The clarity and magnification are amazing. Does not shake like many others. Settings can be adjusted below the screen or with a remote. Can also connect to a larger screen or computer with HDMI. Using for soldering as well as small home experiments with my kids.

Fun for the kids but if you are expecting something professional-grade look elsewhere. My review is based on this for kids and being used as a toy. My kids love using it to magnify pretty much anything. I've started to teach my kids how to solder and they use this to make small connections to help magnify the area.

My wife is a teacher and each spring they dedicate a week to doing STEM type activities. We recently picked up the Kentfaith digital microscope for her to use in her classroom. These lights are a great addition! They are very bright and easily work with the microscope. I can also see numerous other uses for these, such as working on things in dim light. Fairly priced.

I have recently taken up coin collecting and am particularly interested in those with mint errors. I purchased a coin microscope a few months ago but was disappointed it wasn’t able to capture the full image. I didn’t even know they made extenders until I saw this. I don’t have a Kentfaith brand, but it fit mine perfectly as many of these stands seem to be universal. The post extends to 10”, which now allows me to see and take pictures of coins in full view. It’s sturdy and seems to be well-made. I was also pleased to find the image is still just as clear with the added distance.
