"What's wrong with something like this?"<br>
<br>
For one thing, it's not stereoscopic, as was in the thread title
;) Some types of fiddly prototyping work can't be done well
without depth perception.<br>
Be that the case or not.<br>
It may be cheaper, but it won't last anywhre near as long as a
purely optical system, which you can probably pass down some
generations ;)<br>
This is not just consumer electronics, its china consumer
electronics.<br>
<br>
Also with this parcitular model: The optics part look very similar
to some USB scope I once had, the sensor/sensor of which ware pure
garbage, could hardly see any fine structures with that.<br>
This guy demos some of those, and i know one who has the one for
~200 bucks, which seems to work quite well.<br>

quite as nice as a high-end stereo scope, but about 10X cheaper,
and even has a decent sized built in LCD (which can be piped to
a larger monitor if need be):

What is everyone using these days for stereo scopes?<br>
<br>
My eyes are finally pooched and I am looking for something
with a decent field of<br>
view.<br>
<br>
So far, I am seeing AmScope products as a good contender. $650
seems to be the <br>
going rate.<br>
<br>
if anyone has any preferences, or recs or advice I would love
to hear it.<br>
<br>
Was hoping to do something for less than $400.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
