TOMLOV TriL107 3-Lens Digital Microscope 2500X, Coin Magnifier with Light

I'm rating this as a 5-star product based on value for the money that I'm getting out of it. It's an excellent little microscope for my purposes. I'm not sure it is really all that great as far as either quality or features. You can make it much better than it is with a few additions.I'm a photographer, and I'm using this to check mineral specimens for certain features. I do this because it's much easier to use this device than to use my main camera, which usually requires a change of lenses between specimens, a complete reset of the lighting, etc. An actual lab microscope isn't much better as a time saver. This microscope allows me to find what I'm looking for quickly and easily, so I can make notes and then later do the serious photography.I added a lab stage to allow the specimens to be moved in very small increments. To keep it in place on the base, I put one of those sticky pads that you put on your dashboard to keep your phone in place. That works really well.I've also added a small macro ring light, which I already had. Sometimes I use the lights that came with the microscope because of reflections or the need for more of a side light, but the ring light is much better most of the time.A piece of velcro is helpful to keep the switch in place on the base. I put it on one corner.I believe, at the time I bought this, it said it came with a 32MB micro SD card. I received a 64MB card. Your mileage may vary on that I suppose.Ok now for the not-so-good. The height adjustment is mostly useless. It's way too course and it isn't smooth to adjust at all. If you unlock it completely using the knob on the back, the whole microscope and monitor will fall down. You pretty much have to hold the whole thing, make the adjustment, and lock the knob.The resolution is also below average. It's better than the little handheld ones, but that isn't saying much and it's mostly because the light on this one is much better. It's almost impossible to get something in focus all the way across the frame. Even completely flat subjects parallel to the base are blurry toward the edges, and usually it's more noticeable in one corner or another. Having said that, the monitor is nice and bright and easy to see. It can also be plugged in to a regular monitor via HDMI, but I found no benefit to that as the provided monitor gives an image that's at least as good.The instructions seemed to say that settings would be saved if you use the on/off switch on the monitor to turn it off, but it always turns on in video mode no matter what other mode you set it to before turning it off. I want it to stay in photo mode, but it won't. That's minor, but annoying anyway.The remote works well most of the time, but I've found it to be somewhat fiddly when taking images. Maybe I'm too close. Also, you can't take images when connected to a Windows computer and using it as a camera input. You have to take the images using Windows in that case, which puts them on the Camera Roll. I kind of wish it would work both ways at the same time, but I won't fault the company for that.I did have some fun with it by taking multiple images with slightly different focus of a mineral formation, and then using professional focus-stacking and processing software on the (somewhat crummy) JPG images it produced. The resulting photo had kind of a "so-bad-it's-good" quality and an ethereal look that was surprisingly satisfying. I might experiment more with that style just to see what it produces.Overall a good purchase for me, but I can certainly see where some users might experience frustration with some aspects of this microscope. Just don't expect too much and you'll probably be happy with it.

I ordered a different scope that was about the same price and was on a long arm instead of the stand. This stand is much better, very stable and easy to adjust. This scope is far superior to the other one which was only a toy and sent back for return. So glad I took another chance and ordered the Tomlov. The picture is crystal clear and great magnification in all three lenses. The screen is super sharp and the image is so clear. I plan to use this inspecting small cutting tools and it has such good working distance I may try sharpening dovetail saws with over 15 teeth per inch. The instruction book is very easy to use but I only opened it to see where the memory card inserted. Surprise it's already installed. This is so easy to use and the controls make perfect sense that the book is not required. Great scope for the price and actually worth more as compared to the other one I mistakenly chose first. Can't wait to try it connected to my 27 inch monitor. I took a photo of the screen with may phone because I was out in the workshop.

Before I begin, I'd like to mention that I primarily bought this microscope for soldering purposes, so my experience and opinion are mainly focused on that aspect.First and foremost, the microscope comes with three lenses. I found the A and L lenses to be the most useful, with the A lens being my default choice and the L lens reserved for extremely fine work or when I don't feel like connecting an external monitor. The A lens works wonderfully when paired with a large external monitor, providing ample details. However, I only use the L lens when I'm feeling lazy because its magnification is too high, which often requires me to constantly move the PCB instead of focusing on the actual soldering.All height adjustments are handled by a sturdy piece of metal. Unfortunately, my microscope arrived with a damaged adjustment piece that became completely stuck at around 2/3 of the way from the bottom position. I contacted customer support, and although it took about two weeks, they eventually provided me with a replacement. It's worth noting that even with the damaged adjustment piece, the microscope remained usable, but I couldn't change the magnification.If you own a 3D printer, there are numerous expansion possibilities for this microscope. For instance, I printed a ring light and a polarizer lens adapter, which allowed me to have better illumination than what the included lights provided. Additionally, I built a replacement PCB for the lights, enabling me to power the entire setup with a single cable using a type-C connector instead of dealing with multiple cables.One thing I do miss about this microscope is the absence of a thread on the microscope lenses. While the side screws aren't too difficult to work with, they limit you to the provided lenses. For example, if you want to use a barlow lens with the L lens to increase your working space, you'll need a 3D-printed adapter.Overall, I'm somewhat conflicted about how to rate this microscope. If you plan to use it as a general-purpose microscope, it works well right out of the box. It offers a decent selection of lenses and fulfills your expectations. However, if your primary intention is to use it for soldering, it becomes more hit or miss due to the lack of threaded lenses, making it challenging to use third-party options unless you create a 3D-printed adapter for them.For me it was well worth the price and effort.

This microscope exceeded my expectations, especially given the price. I picked up watchmaking as a hobby and was really struggling with loupes/magnifiers. When I saw that affordable digital microscopes were available, I did a bit of research. I ended up choosing this one in particular because it solves the issue most of these cheaper microscopes seem to have. That is, most do not allow you to move the camera far enough away to see the entire object. By lengthening the rail the camera rides on, this microscope is much more useful for my purposes.As far as the features go, I've been getting a lot of use from the photo/video function. Basically, I record the disassembly of the watch movement. This gives me something to reference in the event I forget how to put it back together. That's been extremely useful while learning the hobby. Beyond that, there are a lot of settings and such for the camera (contrast, sharpness, etc.) but the defaults have worked well enough so far.In my opinion, the only cons are the built in lights and charging time. The base has two lights built in, with their brightness controlled by a touch bar thing. In order to use them, you have to run an included cable from the screen unit into the base (because the battery is in the screen unit). The issue I have is that I kept activating the touch pad by accident. And, for whatever reason, the lights make an electric humming sound (but only when the brightness is set lower than full, which is weird). I ended up just leaving the base unplugged, because I didn't find it worth the trouble. The other built-in light is a ring light around the lens. This one works fairly well and has four brightness levels (or completely off). A minor problem is that the lights can sometimes be seen on reflective metal parts, but it's not a big deal. For some reason, they included a plastic doo-hickey you can install to completely cover the light. I'm not really sure why since you can just turn the light off. Finally, it takes quite awhile to full charge.Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase. This scope makes examining parts very simple and a lot more comfortable (as compared to hunching over with a loupe). So, I would definitely recommend this to watchmakers or other hobbyists.

This scope does deliver a nice sharp image at all three magnification levels. Assembly is fairly straightforward but read the little manual carefully. Rod connec to the bawe is not that great. Quality of materials is mostly good and is pretty solid when put together. And one big downside is hooking up all the connections. You'd better brush up on your cable management skills as it quickly becomes a tangle of USB cords to whatever power source you're using. I'm using a 24" monitor connected via HDMI to the scope head. 7"" screen is just too small. Otherwise, it performs as advertised and generally satisifed with this product.

I really like this scope. Base is absolutely heavy enough that you have no worry about it tipping over even when fully extended. Coating on the base is holding up really well after going through pounds of coins. Black base minimizes what could be surface glare (if it wasn't black). I see a few comments I think i can help with... it took me a min to figure out that all the lights can be shut off or dimmed. The main light you can use the remote and hit the arrow buttons to dim it to nothing, or using the screen controls you can use the left and right arrows to dim it. I use it for sports cards and coins and to eliminate glare, I shut off the main light and point the 2 bottom lights to the side of the object (not focused right on it) I also dim the lights way down and I go into settings on the screen and dim the display and sit in a relatively darkened room. This is great once set up like that. Also, my cord was so long that i wrapped it around the main support a few times before plugging it from the screen to the lower lights (saw a comment on too short of a cord). As for seeing the whole dollar coin... I mounted the main adjuster piece as high as it will securely mount to the post and then used the adjusting knob to raise the lens system to the highest it will go and I see the whole dollar coin. I have used it to record video of sports card edges and just pop out sdcard and insert in my PC and upload to dropbox and share with a friend/customer. Files in 1080P are huge so you can't just email them. Great product especially for the price. My buddy saw mine and went right out and ordered his own

Microscope is good. Screen is very clear. The lights on the stand stopped working after a day and the adjustable stand is stuck after a month of use making this useless. Disappointing because the actual microscope is good.

I mainly was looking for a bigger screen then the one I have. It would be great for other things then coins. If you need to magnify the coin for a specific error or to see the whole coin, it's great.

Min bror blir säkert nöjd när han får den i födelsedagspresent

per adesso sono sodisfatto tutto ok grazie

Tiene una excelente calidad!!! Para biología no es lo más correcto pero esta bastante bien!!!

Excelente opción para visualizar y fotografiar monedas completas de hasta 42mm

This is not TOMLOV
