NICE-POWER Digital Microscope, 48MP 4K 1080P HDMI Type-C/USB Industrial Video Microscope Camera, 150X Zoom C-Mount Lens, Foldable Stand, LED Ring Light, Soldering Microscope for Electronics Repair

This does not include any software or download instructions, as indicated in the description. There is no good way to use this. I have seen the same thing for sale from Chinese vendors on other websites for less money, and they indicate that a software CD is included.

This thing is amazing. Years and years of having to use a magnifying glass system for small soldering jobs. I had no idea this product existed until I found it online. It works amazingly well. The clarity on the monitor which you have to provide is exceptional, and makes even the smallest of jobs easy, if you're doing things at a micro level, this is definitely a product that you could use and I highly recommend. The quality is fantastic and the image on the monitor is exceptional.

I’ve been using the microscope for a couple of weeks now, and honestly, it's been a mixed bag. On the plus side, the image clarity is impressive—when you plug it into HDMI or USB‑C, you get sharp 1080p video, and it can snap 4K stills at 48 MP. Zooming in up to around 150× with the C‑mount lens is pretty cool—you can easily inspect circuit boards, jewelry, even coins with great detail. The adjustable LED ring light is bright and helps bring out details in darker areas. The foldable stand is handy and flexible, letting you position the camera just right. The remote control (when in HDMI mode) is a nice touch too—it makes taking screenshots or videos less shaky. Plus, the ability to record directly to a micro‑SD card means I don’t always need a laptop connected. That said, the software side is a bit clunky. If you want to adjust exposure or white balance manually, you're forced to dig into menus via the software—no shortcut knobs on the device. Auto‑exposure often overshoots unless you tweak it. Also, while 150× zoom sounds awesome, in practice the field of view gets really narrow and requires constant fine‑tuning of focus and lighting. Durability-wise, the build feels average—not cheap, but not ultra‑premium either. And though specs claim wide device compatibility, I hit a few hiccups once connecting via USB‑C to my laptop—the software didn’t always recognize the camera until I switched to HDMI. Overall, this microscope delivers excellent image quality and detailed magnification, especially for hobbyists who want to inspect small parts or record 4K stills. Just be ready for a bit of a learning curve with the software and setup, and don’t expect flawless plug‑and‑play every time.

Camera is nice but mount is really bad.

I love being able to use my larger monitor for viewing circuitry and soldering. I immediately noticed there were no adjustments to the accessories that came with the boom arm version of this microscope. The boom arm is approximately 2 feet in length but the power, USB-C, and HDMI cords are all 3 feet in length which leaves only 1 foot of cable to connect to the respective outlets on the wall and PC. These cords will need to be replaced or extended with longer cords which increases the price of the product. In addition, the software is very limited as the Mirror option can only flip the image horizontally/vertically. It cannot rotate the image which is required for a microscope that is attached to a boom arm mounted on the side of the desk (the boom arm has to be mounted on the front or back of the desk for an upright view). Images display in a 180 degree view as there is no option to rotate the image. Most importantly, there is NO true standby mode. If the power is turned off, the LED goes from yellow to red indicating it is off but the cam is very warm minutes later so its definitely on. The only way to be sure the camera is off is to disconnect the USB-C cable.
