SMD Rework Microscope suggestions
loki42:
I tried the Mantis for a little bit at a trade show and it works well with glasses, but I prefer the continuous zoom from my Carl Zeiss.
Focus is more comfortable as well.
wraper:
Digital microscope is good for inspection. However no matter how good it is, it will suck for soldering. Doable but no anywhere comfortable as a half-decent entry level stereo microscope.
alligatorblues:
I use a camera usb microscope. Never had a problem.

Maybe this is a user preference thing.
I have no problem to solder under a HDMI microscope I have nearly 30-40cm free space between the microscope and the table.
While I have a binocular microscope as well - Its nice and the 3d experience is there but the digital hdmi microscope is standard.
It's important that the camera has at least 60fps, I saw a 30fps digital microscope in the university nearby - it sucked.

At my previous work we got the one Dave reviewed in EEVblog #1125 and found it to be really good for inspection. Rework wise it was not that bad either.
At my current work I am looking at getting the next model up (?) from the same supplier (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001034470355.html), but I just found that we can't buy from AliExpress :(
