Digital microscope

[regalis]

Anybody used these?

just ordered it from amazon. For £15 I will give it a go!

If you have used one, what did you think?

I used the one that clamps over the camera on your cell phone to read headstamps on brass rifle cases or read my lead hardness gauge. Worked OK. However, I'm tempted to give the one you found a try because it looks much easier to use.

I think it would work. I just wish it would connect to the older ipad I have mounted on my reloading bench.

I have one that I use to sex molts. Works great.

I just pinch an eyepiece off my kids telescope and it works great for moults, if they are lit up from underneath. At first I tried her microscope but it didn't give a good result.
I'll probably buy something like that at some point though. £15 is a steal if it does the job. Let me know how you find it.

Will do. From what I have seen on YouTube reviews and amazon reviews they are good little bits of kit for the money.

I will take some pics with it and upload them.

Looks good, let us know how it works.

Maybe a good reason to upgrade the iPad!

The only reason I have the ipad in the reloading room is to look up reloading data online rather than through the clutter of books. Not sure I can get the justification for a new reloading room ipad through the Senate (wife). It would work off my cell phone though. Have you ordered yours?

Ordered my what?

 

[JayManges]

Your digital microscope.....

 

[regalis]

Oh yeah it will be here by Monday 13th. They are prioritising other essential orders first. I have a laptop in my workshop but that's for my cnc lathe and my 3d printer. Living in the uk we are not allowed to make ammo. I have to justify to the gun smith why I want to buy shells and ammo. Justify the amount and justify why I need each gun when I want to buy it. Then if its approved I can have it!

 

[JayManges]

I shoot approximately 1,000 rounds per week so I spend a lot of time in my reloading room. I have 100,000 rounds on hand. Some here call that being a little short on ammo but I have the materials on hand to load up several hundred thousand more. Fortunately, California hasn't tried to limit the amount of ammo you can own (yet). I won't comply if they ever do.

I did travel to London last year. Without bringing it up, several of the people I talked to were concerned about knife crime. How horrendous. I almost think I'd rather be shot than stabbed. Nevertheless, I have to say that London is a fun place to visit. Can't wait to go back someday.

Hahaha I couldn't keep anywhere near that amount. I have to have guns in one locker ammo in another..... knife crime in cities is a big problem here. Just glad I'm away from all that. I did make a good set of knuckles a month or two back! Lol

Given the fact you know how to do just about everything else, I expect you are also proficient with those knuckles. Let me guess, you also have a CNC mill? You rock!

 

[regalis]

No lol but I do know how to use a cnc milling machine lol. okuma space centre ma 6000hb and some older cincinnati milacron with Siemens controls!
