This WAS SUPPOSED to be an early FATHER'S DAY GIFT for My Husband!!!But, IMMEDIATELY, it did NOT work!! Right out of the box, BIG PROBLEMS!! Also, absolutely NOTHING about it is cut & dry!!! "Instructions" are ridiculous!!! And I use "INSTRUCTIONS"(or TOTAL LACK-THERE-OF!!!) very lightly!!A TEENY TINY little, 3 fold PAMPHLET, is ALL you GET!!!And the app "INSKAM", is a JOKE!!! And you HAVE TO USE the "Inskam" App to be ABLE to use THIS!!! INSKAM has like a2 ⭐ RATING!! So THAT speaks for ITSELF!!!!NONE of the Adapters WORKED!!! It always stated "NOT CONNECTED" no matter WHAT I did!! And I am NOT the ONLY person who has had THESE EXACT kinds of issues & problems with this thing!!! MANY PEOPLE HAVE & FEEL THE SAME EXACT WAY!!!SAVE YOUR MONEY & INVEST IN A MUCH BETTER ONE!!... THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ITEM!!!100% MOST HORRIBLE PURCHASE EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!(And I am VERY Tech Savvy!!! So for ME to COMPLAIN, like THIS???? There is DEFINITELY something SERIOUSLY wrong with it!!!)

I downloaded the camera app for Win 10 and the inskam app for Android. This camera works with both however the LEDs are so dim I have to use a flashlight to illuminate the subject I am viewing or I get a black screen. Pushing the button only takes a picture with the Android app. It does nothing with the Win 10 app.UPDATE:Another great Chinese device with a really bad user manual. I found a rotary wheel on the USB cord that adjusts the LED brightness. I have changed my review to 4 stars not 5 due to the poor users guide which says nothing about this control.

So... here's the real scoop. The device IS easy to use like most people have mentioned and it is a great value for your money. HOWEVER you need to make sure you download the right app for the device to work. There's two versions, inskam and inskamPro. DO NOT DOWNLOAD PRO - IT WILL NOT WORK. Save yourself a lot of hassle and trust me on this. (learn from my mistake) The regular version of the app is pretty easy to use, but there's no tutorial so you just have to figure it out on your own.As far as the device goes - I really wish there was a little bit more instruction on the device. The instructions that come in the box don't really tell you how to use it -you can pretty much figure it out by playing with everything. If you're going to use it as a hand held scope like I am, you need to hold the wand directly over the object at the height/detail you want, and then turn the focus wheel. Once you get close to the detail level you want, you can fine tune the focus by holding the wand closer/farther away.... it's much easier than trying to rotate the wheel while keeping the wand steady (and looking at your cell phone for picture clarity). But that's using it without the stand. Using the stand makes it easier.

First of all let me just say, wow. This thing performed way better than I ever could have hoped. Especially for the price. I looked at IC part numbers, microfiber towels, holograms, torn paper, leaves, onion peel... Lots of stuff. Once I started with it I went on a microscoping rampage that lasted, honestly about 4 days. Me and my 4 kids looked at everything we could think of. It is a robust little thing, and the USB plug that fits every USB outlet in existence, is spectacular.I have let my kids play with it for the last 2 days and well... It still works. That's 4 kids that love to argue about who held what last and how long did they have it.... Hey stop it!.... I had to take it away. Needless to say the kids loved it and I loved it. I don't think I can really think of any flaws other than the "snap" button doesn't work with Windows but it did work with the app.TL;DRGreat little microscope for the money, works, kids loved it. Handy for reading small IC part numbers. Get it.
