TOMLOV DM602 Flex Digital Soldering Microscope 2000x, Flexible Arm, 10.1" HDMI Microscope with 3 Lens, Coin Magnifier with Ring Light, Adults LCD Video Magnifying Glass, Electronic Repair Mat,64GB

The media could not be loaded. The TOMLOV DM602 Flex is amazing. From the screen resolution making what you’re looking at crystal clear, to the mobility of the Flexible Arm. This is a VERY well put together product.I am a TikTok’er and I personally search through bank rolls of coins for errors and varieties! So having a scope that is reliable is a must, and TOMLOV proves that time and time again. Now about the scope I love this Flexible Arm design because it has you and me in mind. I don’t have a clutter free desk, my workspace is the exact opposite. So being able to move the scope around where I need it is amazing. TOMLOV certainly created this with the user in mind. I started with the DM9, so this is quite the upgrade. The adjustability options are amazing. You’re given a remote so you never have to press a button on the actual scope. The menu is full of options and I think the modes I find useful are the color options.You can look at images in Black and White, Sepia, and Negative which for looking at coins is HUGE. Seeing a coin in negative brings a whole new prospective to what may have been shadows but now is made clear using the negative. The new ring light with 144 LED’s is.. GREAT! It puts the previous light sources being the 10 LED lights to shame. Also the ease of access with the ring light is great, a smooth knob right on the front vs a small dial on the back of the scope.We have not even covered the best part. This scope has THREE different lenses you can use. Lenses A, L and D. A offers 2x-700x, Lens L is 60x-200x, and the Lens D offers a astounding 1000x-2000x. So literally to infinity and beyond! So no matter what your needs are, whether it’s looking at coins, Soldering boards or looking at specimen slides, you have a lens for any and all of those things.After so many nice and great things to say about this scope there’s always some bad. Which I’m not afraid to talk about! So far working with this scope, I’ve really only had one complaint. Now this complaint could be fixed myself and I can tell you why. This is the Flex Model so it has the Flexible Arm vs the Stand Base. The arm is great, but.. If whatever you’re mounting this Arm to is not sturdy, your image on the screen will always be shakey.But that’s not TOMLOV’s fault, that’s my desk and having it on carpet. So I would suggest if you’re getting the Flex version of this scope you really make sure your desk is as stable as possible. Alternatively I can’t make my desk stable so what I have done is got a side table next to my desk and mounted it there. The side table is never touched so there is no movement coming from it so that solves the problem right away.That’s it, that’s a pretty small “Con’s” section right? Like I said, this is the scope to have and TOMLOV is the brand you should trust. Not only are they constantly striving to make better and better products. They also have the best customer service by ANY company I have shopped through before. The DM602 is still pretty new and they created instructional videos to help me solve some minor problems I was having (Firmware Update). But I had no clue how that was to be done, and within minutes they sent me the file AND a video of how to do it.Don’t be wait. There’s no need to look any further. Thank you TOMLOV for everything and keeping your consumers in mind.

Perfect for all my soldering needs!!!

I’m a retired engineer who has a lot of soldering experience dating back to high school when I built my entire ham radio station from Heathkits. But that was all thru-hole parts which are almost “Dino” sized compared to these tiny SMD (Surface Mount Devices) used on my custom SBC’s (Single Board Computer) designs today.Working on these tiny SMD boards has been a monumental pain – having to buy new fabrication, rework, and inspection tools, and learn lots of new skills – still learning. SMD soldering and desoldering technique takes practice and time to develop. This microscope is very helpful to see what you are doing.Bought the TomLov DM602 Flex which I’m reviewing here. It uses three separate lenses: A, L, and D. So, you do have to change lenses for different types of work; but most people are probably doing a single type of work most of the time and don’t have to change the lens.Magnification based on 28” LCD monitor with 3x digital zoom (all info from their datasheet)Lens Mag Purpose FOV Work DxA 2-700x coins, stamps 8mm 12-275mm 0.37-10” focal lengthL 60-200x PCB solder 21mm 90-240mm 3.5-9.5” focal lengthD 1000-1500x biological slides 3.6mm 4-5mmMy custom SBC’s use one or two 100 pin LQFP MCU’s with 0.5mm pitch pins which can be very difficult to manually solder onto the PCB for assembly. I use a reflow oven or send to a PCB Assembly shop for initial assembly. Any rework requires removing the MCU – a hot air gun with square tip sized to just fit over the MCU works great. Manually soldering a new MCU down is much harder. I have a whole menagerie of hand held, and head mounted magnifiers - all of which work. The DM602 is the most expensive but the best of the lot.The Flex design allows me to use my existing PCB holders from PCBite and Newacalox for any rework. The L lens is great, so is the LED ring light. The L lens allows lots of working space between the bottom of the lens and the PCB (at both max & min focus dx). The Flex design is a little wobbly, a wider base clamp would help considerably, but besides that it works well. It does take up considerable room on the workbench. Mounting it on the back of the workbench would be ideal, but not an option for me. The two power cords could be bundled more efficiently. I’m also going to order the fixed DM602 Pro base so I can use the microscope + lens + ring light with either the Flex or fixed Pro base. When feasible, the Pro base will take up less room, and be more stable. I think this microscope + both bases allows the most effective use.

Software is very stable! 3D is excellent. I use it to professionally inspect PCBAs.
