bga and smd microscope going to buy

[dellxps15]

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:

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

Re: bga and smd microscope going to buy

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!
