Wireless Digital Microscope,Leanking 0X-1000X Zoom Pocket Size Handheld Microscope for iPhone Android, iPad

This is one of my new favorite devices, but it took me awhile to learn how to use it right. Out of the box I thought it looked a bit cheap, like a toy. But later I learned it was built light, and delicate, like a lot of other "science" equipment I've owned. It wasn't easy, but I'm pretty tech savvy, so I got it set up in no time. At first I thought the picture was a bit blurry, until I realized that the cap on the end wasn't a lens, it was the lens cover. Duh. Then I had to learn how to focus it properly. You can be 6 inches or 6 mm away from the subject, and still get a great picture, but you have to experiment a bit to figure out the distance vs. focus position (it's quite wide, 0-1000). All of the "not steady" complaints, I'll assume, come from people who've never looked through a microscope before, or forgot what it's like. Magnify anything even 100 times, and you'll notice even the slightest movement - of the table the subject is sitting on, of the scope in it's mount, of the object itself - even breathing on it can make the picture, unsteady. Magnify it 1000 times and it's a whole, new ballgame. Holding the device steady in your hands is virtually impossible unless you're a surgeon. So you place everything on a firm surface, adjust the focus and let go...don't touch anything. If it's not focused clearly, adjust it one way or the other a tad, then let go again. And use the app to zoom in if you need to. Oh, and don't try to snap a picture by pushing the "snap" button on the side of the scope, use the app. Otherwise the scope will move as you press it and the picture will be blurry. Practice makes perfect, and after about 3 weeks, I'm a master. I love this little scope! I'm a science nerd who asked for, and got, a microscope for his 12th birthday. So I've been using these kind of devices for over 40 years. Not sure how long it will last, but I take care of my equipment so I think I'll get my money's worth out of this little guy. Oh, and for those in the know...trichomes are cool looking.

Everything about this product was disappointing. The instructions were awful and you are relying on luck if you can make it work. If you are able to get it working the picture will be moving so much you might get a passing glimpse at what you’re trying to look at. It makes really bad short videos which are fleeting glimpses here and there because it is impossible to hold it still enough to see what you want to see. I could take any pictures at all with it. Then when I tried to turn it off it wouldn’t go off. Total waste of time and money but I did get my money back after I returned it. UPS was very helpful and amazon gave a quick easy return and refund.

Got it to connect to our wifi pretty easily, had to down load a scanner to my phone to get the app going, A little had to use free hand, but do able with some practice, great pictures once your focused properly. Going to purchase a second one for my daughter.

You must have a really steady hand to use this! It takes practice to use! When using base you still have to set object at an angle and is still difficult to find that sweet spot. If there is a option to reduce shaking I have yet to find it. The picture quality is good when you can focus. The on/off button is on one side and the pic button is on the other with the zoom in the middle so you certainly need to make sure you are hitting the right button. As I said you will have to practice using before you dive into what you are needing it for.

It shuts off randomly and then you have to run around trying to find a needle to reset the device. That definitely is a little annoying especially when it happens almost every 5 minutes. It’s a good idea but poorly made. I’m not saying that potential customers should run away and avoid this product at all cost, but I would definitely recommend looking into other ones first.

It works perfect. Incredible value at this price - the image is sharp, all functions work well- so much fun!

Easy to use and it's great for monitoring your trichomes.

The app they provide is terrible, asks for numerous permissions for phone options it does not need. There is 0 english support, its entirely in chinese! Once installed the scope worked for 10 seconds then once moved the image disappears and it just tries to load with no success. Would be much better if these where bluetooth. The power button turns the scope on, but not off, only way to turn off is to use the reset button. On top of that mine appeared to arrive used with fingerprints on it. Could have been from packing though who knows. Keep in mind the app (HVviewer) for this asks for permissions to your contacts, phones ability to make and recieve calls, access contacts, along with GPS location tracking and numerous other app permissions that are totally unneeded for this product!!!! If looking for a wifi wireless scope, look for a one that uses MaxSee software. Those I have seen first hand from friends work great.
