T TAKMLY Magnifying Glass with Light Portable Handheld USB Digital Microscope Macro Camera 2.0 inch IPS Color Screen Fixed Focus, 200w Pixel, 500x Magnification, Compatible with Windows, Mac OS

Very good product

Works great for Magic The Gathering cards.

Very nice. Clear pictures and rechargeable makes this a keeper. Great for hearing aid owners. Electronic work too.

Excellent

Garbage - Totally agree with other "1 star" reviewers. This scope WAS good for WiFi while MaxSee was working. Now, it is a paperweight. I have tried all other apps (Android), and nothing, including the one recommended by Takmly, will work more than 2 seconds before freezing and disconnecting. Too bad, it was good while it lasted. Now it goes into the trash, and I am looking for one of the competitors (that will work). Let me clarify something - At best, it as, in my opinion, a "toy". The adjustment dials are WAY too sensitive, and you really have to have this mounted on something for it to be usable. For coins, on a stable base, where you can eventually set the focus on a specific point and swap coins (not moving the camera), it works well. Move the object, not the camera. More 'clarification' - to give you some idea of the sensitivity of the adjustment dials - on a 'regular' microscope, you could turn a dial maybe 3-5 full times to adjust the same that this does in maybe 1/2 turn. There is no fine tuning unless you are really lucky. For anything else (like looking at trichomes on a growing plant), it is close to useless. You have to be REALLY lucky to hold the camera still, at the right distance, at the right spot, for more than a second to have a chance to snap a photo. Again, a tripod mount would help here, but it was more of a challenge to use than it was worth. To be completely fair - IF you are hooking this up WIRED to a COMPUTER (NOT a phone, NOT using Wifi), and you are using the base (NOT handheld), and you are looking at something like coins, paper money, or fabric that you can slide into the focal area, you should be ok. Wireless, however, go find something else. Update 8/12/24 - after re-reading the review above, I do stand by what I said. I purchased this device when it DID work - when MaxSee worked. I used it for coins, stamps, and observing trichomes. While WILDLY sensitive and almost impossible to use if holding in your hand (I purchased a microphone stand to mount it on so it would be stable for looking at plants), it will work if mounted on a stand, AND connected by a wire to your computer. The wireless connectivity (the only reason I purchased this particular microscope) disappeared when MaxSee stopped working. You would think the company (Takmly) would develop and support their own software for this device, instead of relying on someone else.

Almost everything about this product is... okay... nothing is really great. The USB connection to computer is flaky, sometimes works, sometimes not. The WiFi connection to Android phone via Max-see app, *does* work, but I want higher resolution for images on my desktop machine. The Takmly Windows 10 program is... adequate, but max resolution for images is only 1280x720. Focusing with the ring on the camera is an exercise in frustration, and the camera is extremely sensitive to movement; even using a tripod did not make focusing much easier. I spent a lot of frustrating time getting the microscope to sync to my computer; the Windows program had multiple tabs that were related to network connectivity - it's too bad the manual didn't actually clearly point out that it is *not possible* to connect to computer via WiFi, only via USB... every digital microscope *except* the Takmly, clearly points that out on page 1. Frankly, I initially believed that all digital microscopes would have all these issues - until I tried the Jiusion WiFi 4K digital microscope. *That* device, for about the same price as the Takmly, is Excellent, in every detail that the Takmly is mediocre. Digital resolution on the PC supports my 3840x1600 screen, focusing with the ring is easy; in fact, even hand-held focusing is pretty doable... and the images are superb!! The only thing that *was* excellent about this device, was customer support; I contacted them multiple times, to get a PDF user manual, and to ask about WiFi on computer, and got prompt responses each time... it's just too bad that there was nothing that they could do about the deficiencies of their device.

It’s really a good product you just got to know how to use it. I was using it like a normal magnifying glass and the image was very blurry. However, when I started to really put it close and I mean you really gotta put it on top of the thing, it’s quite remarkable. I’m very grateful for it because my nephew decided it would be a great idea to grab a cactus and got stung and it hoped us see clearly where the thorns were. It has a great gift value and very much worth the money. So far it’s got a great battery life. Only charged it once and it’s still good, mind you I don’t use it very often but I haven’t had to charge it with every use. Haven’t tried out the connectivity but not holding out too much hope because I own a MacBook and I haven’t found any software compatible with it but who knows? Overall good buy and very useful.

Great gadget and value! Yes, you do have to put the device flat onto a specimen or fairly flat, but this gives the user a very clear image. Also, the LED lights help with making the images clear. I can see how this handheld microscope could be great for children and science projects. Even exploring microscopic items, plants, bugs, etc. Fascinating for kids who enjoy up close exploring and users can’t beat the price for the quality. Plug it in to charge so no batteries to buy. I haven’t yet tried uploading photos it claims to take, so I can’t speak on that.

Great little device with excellent picture of small items. I use it for electronics and it magnifies perfectly. Take pictures too, to share with customers. Kids use it to study small insects and plant flowers, with great magnification and view from a distance. Since its rechargeable with a standard USB type C, the product can be used without worrying about battery replacement. I use 8x and 6x magnification depending on the need. The built in light works great to illuminate the object and no shadows observed.

Varry bad product

This is one of the best microscopes I've found for checking trichome developement on cannabis plants ! One thing that may not be obvious are two buttons on the bottom of the unit that increase or decrease magnification....very helpful. It's great to be able to capture pictures or videos on a phone or tablet while examining the trichomes, although I wish the button were placed closer to the front of the unit. It's hard to keep the image focused while fumbling for the button. Apart from that, though, it works really well and I highly recommend it to any grower.

Cumple

La verdad es que estaba emocionada al inicio, y el primer día funcionó bien. A partir de ahí ha sido imposible conectarlo y la luz no deja de parpadear pese a estar completa la batería. Entiendo que por el precio pagado no sea un gran producto, pero de ahí a que no funcione a la segunda vez de usado.... un timo. Prefiero pagar un poco más y tener algo bueno.
