Something like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32917429175.html
I don't use a camera port, so my microscope does not have one. The articulating stand is pretty much essential, as is the 0.5X Barlow lens to extend the working distance and reduce the magnification.
Lucky-Luka:
well, that would be overkill for my purposes.
What about something like this?

agehall:
Be very careful with those digital microscopes. Some may be fine for some purposes but you may experience lag and that would more or less make them unusable for soldering imho.
If you are just starting out, get one of those lamps that has a ring of LEDs and a huge magnifying glass in the middle. That will get you started for cheap. Then if you find yourself doing this more and more, upgrade to a real microscope like the one suggested.

I use a $3 jewellers loupe. I can mostly do it by naked eye but I need a lot of light to read the numbers on 0603 resistors these days.
