Title: EEVblog #1125 - Amazing $500 Soldering/Inspection Microscope and Elgato Capture
Post by: jficara on July 15, 2020, 01:40:58 pm

Greetings Friends,

Loved the videos on the Eakins camera, thanks Dave!  I am thinking of getting one and was wondering if anyone has had success using any of the Elgato HDMI capture cards with it?

Thanks so very much!

I received my Eakins camera, works fantastic, thanks again for that review Dave!

I also confirmed that the camera works great with the Elgato cam link 4k https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/cam-link-4k (https://www.elgato.com/en/gaming/cam-link-4k) for video capture.

The firmware I have also supports measurement so once you calibrate the camera you can measure just dandy.  Calibration basically is just putting something of a known size in the camera view then measuring it using the line tool and entering the measurement in mm or which ever units you pick from the dropdown menu.
