    bga and smd microscope going to buy

    hi, im decided to buy a decent microscope for an easy smd solder and inspection.

    im focused on 2 model, but because im starting, ill go for the cheapest version as i dont need a cam now for recording.

    the 2 models are:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...4314783&sr=8-3

    while the better one was this:

    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005ML6SXK?...omtesla.com%2F

    the other difference is in led 54 vs 64 and for the flexible articulated arm

    i could go for the better one, but dunno how much duty i have to pay .... it comes from usa directly.

    ship to italy should be around 30€... if site reported them right.

    anyone got experience with amscope ?

    better wait some time and getter the better one or just go straight with the cheapest and maybe later change it to the other when i did some good work and get money back

    how do you want to inspect, are you trying to inspect the bga site or do you want to inspect underneath the chip and evaluate the solder balls

      you don`t even know how awesome its to work with microscope.

      I got one from cashconvertors in London for 50£; its analog one but its still awesome.

      I do a lot of charging ports for cellphones and they got so small pins.
      after I got that its so easy to solder, and check if you made the joint ok.
      Microscope= A must have tool!
      Just cook it! It's already broken.

          for 0402 , 0603, macbook trace finder and soldering

          also for little qfn and for kb controller

          edit:
          like this dude u can see macbook lcd connector is much easyer to inspect and solder (just an example)

          jump to 7.50 minutes

            My Andonstar ADSM201 Microscope Review
            by chegueva
            Hi everyone. i'v started learning electronics before the corona hit so that's not very long time ago. but anyways i started with only a multi-meter then i started getting into micro-soldering and soldering in general, got myself hot air station a bench Power-supply and last but not least a microscope.
            About the microscope at first i just wanted to get those 15 usd USB digital microscopes to try but some people talked me outta of it and i decided to go for something better but not professional as i'm just starting out.
            So i had a choice between a binocular & camera , i wanted...

            INSKAM Microscope USB port issue
            by lcdcaps1
            Hi
            All
            Does anyone have a INSKAM 7 inch LCD digital microscope
            I have a weird issue on the one I have where the USB port does not output enough power because when I connect a USB light or the ring light the light output is always really dim
            The ring light when connected to the microscope USB port is at the lowest brightness and turning the brightness knob makes no difference
            I have tried different cables and different USB power adapters

            I have confirmed there is nothing wrong with the ring light and the other USB light by plugging them into another...

            Weak Vision due to Eye Strain when using Microscope
            by caspian
            Dear Forum Members,

            Microscope is required for micro-soldering and for measuring tiny components on a mainboard. I have to use microscope because my eyes are not that strong to see tiny IC pins.
            My microscope has light to improve vision. I have attached a photo of my microscope.

            Looking through a microscope gives us eye strain. After using microscope for 5 to 10 minues, my eyes get a bit weak in recognizing close objects. that means close objects look a bit blur. Then, I have to wait for 5 to 10 hours til my eyes get back to normal.

            1. Do you experience...

            How to disassemble Mechanic Mos-4k Pro microscope camera
            by technotech
            I recently purchased the Mechanic Mos-4k Pro microscope camera from AliExpress, and would like to verify it indeed has the Sony sensor by getting its boot log via UART.
            Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to open the camera, and do not see any exposed screws. Do you guys have any suggestions how to take it apart, non-destructively?
