Koolertron LCD Digital Microscope Stand, 12inch Aluminum Extension Arm with 2 Fill Lights, Adjustable Manual Focus Holder for Soldering, PCB Inspection, Coin & Jewelry Observation

I recently bought an inexpensive digital microscope that turned out to work much better than I ever expected. It seemed perfect to maintain my wife's hearing aids and otoscope. But I needed a good way to hold the microscope and object at the right distance and orientation. The photos show how the otoscope was viewed end on. Its lens is covered with flakes of earwax making its image fuzzy. The stand seems well made and operates smoothly. My only complaint is that thumbscrew that adjusts the resistance of the slide required an additional small washer. After that it worked properly.

Solid stand that makes focusing easy and it will keep your digital microscope in focus. Just slide an item underneath the lens and you are ready to go. This stand is the perfect replacement for what passes for a stand included with the low cost microscope I purchased. I had to modify that one to even make it somewhat usable. The scope (Jiusion 40 to 1000x Magnification) is remarkably good for the price and in combination with this stand, a fun and useful tool.

I use the stand with a 5MP Celestron USB microscope (macro imager). It has a smaller footprint and more vertical height adjustment then the Celestron stand. It also flexes less when adjusting the height because it's not all plastic. The base is sturdy and not 'tippy' at all. There's a small amount of play in the vertical adjustment wheel, but it's not a deal breaker. I don't like the highly reflective and cast aluminum texture of the base of the stand. That's easily remedied by just putting a white sheet of paper on the stand while viewing an object.

This is one of those works of industrial beauty. The stand looks as great as it works. Easy to adjust and easy to use. Great value for money.

Being a mechanical engineer, I'm astounded that such a device can be made and sold for so little money. It's well-engineered and well made. It's very solid (stiff), and any slop in the adjustment can be removed by keeping the screw knob in the back slightly tightened while adjusting the height. Bravo to the people who designed and figured out how to manufacture this!

Very nice stand! Sturdy and smooth operation. No grinding while raising and lowering. Unfortunately, I cannot use both of these. I am keeping 1 for use with my current scope! The other i cannot use due to the new scopes I ordered will not work with this.

I can get it to work on my laptop (Windows 10) but not on my desk top (Windows 10)....Guess I need someone to help with the software as it appears to be missing something for my desktop......otherwise, works really well on laptop...get amazing views closeup of coin dates and mint marks. The stand itself is excellent. Works wonderfully with the digital microscope.....

This isn't any better or worse than the stand that came with my microscope, very similar in fact. The big difference is how high it can go. Looking at small molded plastic parts for work is a requirement for me and this made my microscope much more functional for that purpose. Getting the tilt mechanism tight enough but not too tight is really the only complaint I have.
