Thanks for sharing about your experience. If China company could provide support to the products that they are selling, i guess they will get even bigger market.

I agreed with Karlo. When you buy any electronic items from China the after sales service is bad. I bought a infrared rework station direct from the factory, but the instruction is not much, ask them for technical support, they ask me to test using try and error. I have burn a few motherboards with it until I ask one technical friend from the philippines and he says not to look on the temperature settings just use a temperature thermometer on the chipset for the reading and you will not have any problems, that's my experience with the China machine.

Thanks Jestine God bless

We used the Dino Lite for accurate measurements since we are magnifying and repairing a PROBE CARD (used for testing wafers) and the tip is too small (usually 1.5 mil diameter) that is why we purchased the 400X. We are using it to measure the worn out tip!
The box comes with a calibration kit which makes it reliable.

But the 400X zoom is too close to the unit that you cannot insert the soldering iron. You need a lower Xzoom (around 20 to 50X) to view your circuit. My friend who repairs cellphones and has a store in one of the malls here bought only the 200X from China. He is using a 22" LCD. He get rid of his microscope.

The problem with the China alternative is the technical support. You get the item as is where is. It doesn't have a calibration kit. I don't know for the other China brand. So we are using it only to view the pcbs since it is only around 40 USD. It is also good for hobbyist.

If you don't need to measure anything, just viewing and taking pictures, and use it as an alternative to the magnifying glass for prolong usage, the China made scope is a good choice.
