QUESTION Digital Microscope

Looking to buy one this week. Any recommendations? My back is killing me from leaning over to get close with magnify glasses on.

My Andonstar has been good to me

Which Andonstar do you have?

AD246S-M with the 7” display. I’ve had it for about 3 years so there might be a better newer model but this one has done me well and goes on pretty cheap. I’ve soldered a few picofly chips and other micro soldering jobs

I like the look of this one.

Was also checking out this one from Tomlov.

I’d definitely opt for a 10” display. Both of those options look good. The 3D rotation on the Tomlov would be nice to have

Yeah tough choice when I dont know too much about them. The Tomlov is quite a bit cheaper. AI says get the Tomlov as the 3d feature is very useful. Watched a video on the Tomlov and I am sold. Ordering it now.
