Shekar Android USB Microscope Ear Endoscope 3 in 1 Otoscope Intraoral Camera with 200X Magnifier Inspection Camera Waterproof support Mac PC Android Smartphone Tablet with OTG

The media could not be loaded. Kindly given to me to review I wasn't really sure what to expect from this little USB microscope. What I got was a whole load of geeking out as being able to see things close up!In the box you get the microscope, a small stand, various adapters and a user guide.The stand holds the microscope in place and makes it much easy to see items clearly, you can see in the video when I held the microscope the slightest movement was massively magnified.The microscope has LED lights around the camera and the brightness can be adjusted via an inline control. You change the focus by twisting the end cap and in a brilliant bit of design the USB plug can be used with both PC and mobiles.You get the same sort of functionality on both PC and mobile: a real time view and the ability to take photos and videos.I'm going to experiment further with the photo option as it should allow for some really interesting shots you can't get with a mobile.Really cool bit of kit, as a kid I'd have loved this...as an adult I still love it, I just don't have the school holidays off to play with it!

Received this today to use with my job as a coffee machine engineer. I want to be able to look inside coffee machine boilers and see how much limescale build up has occurred and the condition of the element and tank etc.When you open the box there are two Q codes to scan, one takes you to the Google version of the app and the other the manufacturer. The manufacturer one opened up Pronett on my phone which is an app I use for when I visit Nando's to do work there !! Not sure what is going on there lol !! The other one installs, opens and then asks for permission to change a setting but it doesn't actually take you to the setting so you are then messing around trying to work out where the app is , I gave up in the end. Instead of saying Yes I just hit cancel and then had the option to tap on the microscope usb picture to open the camera app or another gadget made by the company, I tapped on the usb microscope picture and the camera app started to work , it shows a camera symbol, a video camera symbol as you can according to the instructions record what you are looking at , to do this I think you have to find the setting to allow permission and/or install VLC for android....I haven't tried this yet as I think it's going to take some searching and working out. If you tap the cog symbol which is the settings function you can change the resolution from 640x480 to 1280x720 , the little led's on the end of the microscope light up, there is a little wheel inline on the cord which allows you to dim and brighten the led's and at the top of the microscope there is a focus wheel which works quite well, I was looking at my keyboard and could see all kinds of dust and unmentionables very clearly !! I tried it in a glass of water with an object in the glass and it showed the object clearly too, also cooled down the end of the microscope which gets fairly warm. Be careful if you decide to check out your nostrils, mouth or inside your ears , it gets hot !!I haven't tried it yet for work but will be shortly but from my little play today and seeing how clear the images are I think I can safely say this works just fine and I will be keeping it. I've knocked off a star because the app is poor and the instructions are not the best. It does work ok though and for the money, not bad value really. Thanks for reading I hope this review helps !!PS...forgot to say, I connected this to my Motorola G5 android phone.EDIT: Ok, I figured out how to set permissions when you click on YES to allowing camera to access storage permissions on my Motorola G5 Android phone, go into SETTINGS, then APPS, scroll until you find HASFRAME CAMERA and open, scroll down to permissions and open, slide greyed out sliders on right to green and your phone will allow photo , video and microphone storage or just select the ones you want, exit and try the app , you shouldn't get the box pop up now asking to access your phone and you can now take photos of what you are looking at or videos. Shame the app doesn't set these on for you though when you say YES. Hope this helps,

Wow. Camera is better than I expected and I love the double usb connector, it's quite clever, albeit a bit hard to close and the LED dimmer along the usb cable is also a cool feature. Bought for smd board inspection. Works great. Got it hooked up to an iMac 27'' and I get very clear full screen picture. Instructions recommend using VLC. I tried it. Good picture, also full screen, the only downside (of VLC, not the camera) is that it doesn't allow me to watch and save to file at the same time, both work, but only one at a time. VLC also has a streaming function which I didn't try... So I fired up Quicktime, went to File > New Movie Recording, then if you click the tiny arrow next to the red button, you can select the camera, hit cmd+F to go fullscreen, then hit the red button to start recording. I took a few print screens and uploaded to this review.The android app isn't that great, but it works for a quick inspection on the go.
