Nice camera and setup. I'll wait until the "Dave effect" passes and get one once the temporary price increase fades away.
What are you talking about, if you have read the thread, you will see the price dropped around 10% from these 2 Aliexpress suppliers I found here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-1125-amazing-$500-solderinginspection-microscope!/msg1852202/#msg1852202
Using the link in Daves's video... Shipping was included, but it was well over $500 freedom bucks at the time I pulled the trigger shortly after the video. I roll private mode on FF 100% with noscript and ad blockers, not sure if that gives me the special price. If it does, would certainly like to know.
PLEASE READ
EVERYTHING YOU ARE GETTING AND AT WHAT PRICE, INCLUDING SHIPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are engineers here and this comparing products and all the features plus hidden loopholes, like forced to pay shipping for 1 part and not the others shouldn't be a problem for us. If there is a different cost to you I don't know about, then, please let me know.
DAVES LINK, 455$, shipping included, 180x LENS,
NO camera lamp,
NO holder vertical table stand... Dave has a separate link for the table and for that table stand you
need to pay shipping because of the stand's package size.
MY LINK #1, 400$ US,
shipping included, 120x LENS instead of the closer 180x lens,
NO camera lamp,
NO holder vertical table stand...
MY LINK #2, 429$ US + 59$ shipping for 488$ total, choice of 180x lens or 300x lens,
INCLUDES Table Stand,
INCLUDES lens mounted microscope lamp.
If you want that table with the vertical arm to hold the camera, you will always need to pay for shipping. Dave's links do not contain a lamp for the microscope. My 2 links are a legitimate deals.
We are engineers here, read and analyze the links I provide you with and you will get everything your want and need at the best price. If you do not read, you will buy just the camera, then have to find a separate table holder, have the shipping for the table on 1 item, and once you buy everything a-la-carte separate, you still wont have the microscope lamp and everything will arrive at different times.
