I semi-recently got one of these myself and it's very useful for what it is: a hobbyist digital microscope. I mainly use it to inspect my solder joints.
They send me products to show off, and i put my custom link in the video. When someone buys it I am paid a commission on the sale. So it works in both our favor. They get their products demonstrated which drives sales, and I make a small commission on the sale, and advertising revenue from the video. So we all win.
Thanks for answering. I must have missed that one and will go and look again. RU-vid has not sent me notices of new videos from your site for quite a while and I must not have looked when you made the video. Thanks again.
I've had the smaller one of these for over a year now and it really is incredibly good and very useful. I made a better stand out of an old microphone boom arm so I can put the microscope directly over where I'm working. Absolutely invaluable piece of kit. Don't like the LED light source so use a more natural lamp and that makes a massive improvement.
Yes I have that one too and didn't like its base so I mounted it to a lighting / microphone boom. The lighting is always an issue when looking at things like stylus but using an external source from an angle solved that problem.
I plan on getting the G1200 from B/Good, as mustool is featured there. The base or platform, can the part that the raise/lower stand attaches to, can that be removed? I might get a larger piece of aluminum, put feet on it, & attach the support stand. Maybe put a thin rubber, non conductive sheet on it, for larger items, maybe a couple of clips.. Does mustool offer a larger pre made platform? I like the larger 7" screen for better images. Thanks, btw, how long did it take to arrive?
I purchased G1200 without battery, It should came with one but it didn't, went to web site look for one there is none, question is what type of connector do I need with 3.7v Lipo battery, I am unhappy with this product with out battery and manual do not specific and seller was tell me that it take 18650 lithium battery, thanks for any info..
been looking for an LCD microscope and came across your video. Would I be able to use this with slides ?? I want a reasonably priced microscope to look at skin scrapes from my pond koi. I can see there is no way to lock a slide in place but would that be a problem. Does it only work via battery or is there a mains cable as well
I bought one from aliexpress, and the box looks just like yours. It lasted a week and the display went black. The power light behaves like its booting up fine. I took it apart and nothing looks burnt but I discovered that a tsop-5 chip on the back side of the board gets really hot. Maybe it shorted internally? I traced it to pin 43 on the lcd connector. I've read that ttl pinouts can vary but I found a datasheet for a similar lcd panel that identifies pin 43 as analog voltage (AVDD). The chip is marked "B2F59s" which I can't find anywhere. I was surprised it didn't trace to the white led backlight driver circuitry. Aliexpress is going to refund me but I'd like to try fixing this. Any thoughts or resources are appreciated.
I've been looking for one of these for a while now and the one I want, but haven't found yet for the price I'm prepared to pay, is one with a 7" screen, at least a 12 MP sensor, 2 LED lights, a 128Gb SD card support and a must have remote control, and also supports a PC HDMI input .......A$200 tops......still looking. Edit........so I bought the Mustool G1200 one......A$120 on EBAY.
I snapped a MicroSD card in half trying to get it out my RaspberryPi. Stuck my fingernail on the lip on the card, pulled and accidentally pressed down as well and snapped it clean in two.
This thing never has 1200x Zoom, i now bought one, but when i compare it with my old and cheap mechanical 60-80-100, then this even cant come to the zoomlevel from 100. For some repairs or closer looks it actually handy and good to use, but it does not have the resolution, what they claim.
I just took delivery of one of these units. Seems to work pretty good. Except I can't get the digital zoom to work. I'm in movie mode, press the Up Arrow key, nothing. Short presses, long presses, nothing. Did I get a bad one or is there a secret? Manual is useless. Thanks.
@@12voltvids I'm using live display. There's live display, still camera display, and playback display. Zoom doesn't work on any of them. The arrow buttons do work. I can toggle through the movies and and stills that I've taken. Just no zoom mode anywhere. I think this is going back to Amazon.
Nice thing! I am still using an old stereo microscope (no electronics) I bought from some shady Russians on a flea - market. It has laboratory grade and I payed 100 Bucks back in the day (20 years or so) - just wondering where they "bought" it from....
Thanks Dave, I checked out the link, it kept rotating and did not show the price. What is the approximate price range ? I thought it looked like a toy initially. As you inspected it , the unit looks rather useful. J K
Does the microscope invert the image on the display hindering Soldering? I.E You move your soldering iron left and it moves right on the Microscope? Thanks in advance?
What exactly differs this from the Macro-option on a digital camera ? I got 2MP pictures made 15 years ago of an area of around ½"x½" using the Macro-option on a Nikon Coolpix 950. Though it wasn't possible back then to get live pictures out from the camera, most modern digital cameras do have HDMI.......so have anyone experimented by using the Macro in their own digital camera ? It seems to me, that it would give you a better magnification and higher quality picture.
On a conventional camera you have to have the camera right in there very close. Too close to say solder. I have used my camera in macro mode, and I can get in real close. This one does it from 6" away which means there is room to get in there to work. Yes you can bring it in close too, for even higher magnification. You can see the facets on a diamond needle on the screen.
Yes when you have it up higher, and it is still a close up view. At the end there is a shot showing the image with it about 5" above the circuit board, and there is still the 4X digital zoom that can be used.
Fix your SD card issues with this extender. The one I linked on Amazon is a SD to microSD adapter which IMO is even better, as it gives you access to the larger sized mem cards but also avoids the tiny form factor. You could also use an SD card to microSD adapter in it as well. This is the one I purchased for use with this unit. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YHN83NJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The same seller has another version that is micro-micro and extends if you need it.
Hi With the extender that you suggest would I just plug the micro SD end into the microscope and plug in a larger size SD in to the adaptor. Would I then be able to take pictures on the microscope and it be stored onto the larger SD card. If I then remove the larger SD card and plug it into my PC can I view and store the pictures to the PC. Have you tried this and does it work? Is there a specific type or specification of larger SD card that I would need to do this ?Thanks in advance.
Nice to see yours has a battery inside. The one I bought has no battery. Been in touch with seller, but no reply. I can use it if I keep it connected to the mains, but that's not the point.
Its good, but does not allow for 3D like a stereoscope. This sound petty, but when you solder and work on these small items, depth perception is a must..
Hogwash. I use a magnifier and only one eye has the real close up lens, so no depth of field and I have no problem. Sure a stereo microscope is nice but very big bucks.
Useful but....I still rather prefer the more professional proper quality optical glass. Much much better that any digital camera |I would say. A lot more expensive as well.
Mustool is an importer spamming thier promotion videos everywhere, get the cheapest G1200 you can but beware if you need a battery as some come without but its unlikely you will need this feature unless your buying for a child, you can connect to a pc by throwing away the power only micro usb cable that come with the G1200 and using a proper micro usb data cable. Picture is amazing and perfect for solder work
For the price it did a great job :-D That video head looked really mucky, clean it you dirty sod ha ha :-D The digital zoom is pointless really, no extra resolution but the lense only was very good. I didn't remember you state the camera resolution, but that's me the deaf sod lol.
I don't know. You tell me. I do have a close up of the screen dead on and it doesn't look blue. When filmed off angle it does because the camera is white balancing to the ambient light not the screen and the color temperature of the lights in the shop are 2700k, not 5500 which would be more closer to full spectrum. I have cheap led and CFL bulbs over the bench so the light is actually quite warm and the camera compensates. It does however make screens, especially when shot off angle look blueish.
if you are always having your sd problem try to think what is a common part of all of them that you have used.... you its probably just your inability to install a micro sd card ive never heard that complaint before lol rotfl lol good video tho bro thanks
Think about what you just said? MicroSD cards like regular SD cards should not go in the wrong way. On my DJI and Nikon camera if you start to insert them the wrong way, they make it about 1/3 of the way in and stop. You can then remove them and turn them around and in they go. On some of these cheap microSD devices the card will slide all the way in, and then it becomes stuck, and you you have to work at getting it removed. Also, good microSD card holders do NOT shoot the microSD card across the room if you slip. They pop the card about half way out and hold it so you don't lose it. The cheap ones on the other hand launch the card into outer space. I have lots of devices that use them. I am not a fan of them because of the small size. I much prefer the full sized cards.
"Good for getting part number of really small parts" lol man an illuminated magnifying glass will cost you a lot less than $59.00 this sells for at banggood
i bought it g1200 , and used it for a month , and i regret it , the image quality is very bad , it never gives good balance between light and dark areas , the light is refleced directly to the camera when working with cicuit boards or electronics repairs , cannot see the parts clearly and the colors is not clear too , cannot tell if there is some thing dicolored or burned , and after a month or so of usage , it died , it doesnt turn on , i opened it and tested the board , i found the circuit board to be shorting on the power area next to the charger port , and its poor design seems to have failed in short time because it generates lots of heat while it doesnt have and proper cooling , its one of the worst microscopes in the market and no matter what price you pay for it , doesnt worth it never buy this model , you will end up throwing it in trash
The one I received from Amazon is a piece of crap. It appears to be a frankenstein model- cross between a mustool and a koolertron. This is the second "cheap" chinese usb microscope I ordered from Amazon. NEVER again. Buy USA products only!
