So what is the soldering experience like under one of these compared to a typical stereo microscope like an amscope? My eyes being what they are, I need bright lights and magnification even to do through-hole soldering these days. As such when I work on a project, I sit hunched over the amscope for a bit and it becomes tedious. The Camera+monitor approach I assume would lessen the need to hunch over. Is a small screen closer to the eyes better, or is a large screen further away better? Does the autofocus try to refocus as one moves the soldering iron about?
Is adding an 0.5x or 0.35x barlow the way to go for better field / working distance / less magnification? or should one buy the 120X lens instead?
Also, for what it's worth I found AliExpress very difficult to navigate and make sense of. Even while starting out on
www.aliexpress.com in English I would occasionally get kicked over to es.aliexpress.com and switch to alternate languages. Different prices at different times for what seemed like the same or very similar items. Sometimes it took careful reading or starting at the picture to note what is different.
Thanks,
Scott
