They have some just like that, that are wireless, work with android and iphone. The only thing with both types is, you have to have steady hands to get a good shot. Even with the base its still hard when you zoom in to focus. I’ve seen some people use a boom mic stand because they can adjust it and not have to hold the stand with their hands while looking.

I’ve got that one. It magnifies pretty good, slightly glitchy with ny phone. The hardest thing about using it is getting it set up on a bud then managing to zoom it in without moving it or the plants.
I’ve gotten to the point I don’t even take pics with it most times, I just hold it by hand to get quick views of certain spots… for the money its handy, but it comes with alot of pain in the ass

The base is light enough that the cord shifting throws you off, the stand is small so you need to build a sketchy tower (or use an open cupboard above a counter) its alright for being junk lol

Any of the 1000x digitals off Amazon are more or less the same and give you pics like this!
Here’s the specific wireless one I got, gives off it’s own wifi signal you connect your phones wifi to. Then get their maxi see app and can take pics videos etc.

I have the wireless one from Amazon… excellent tool. App works well. Stand that comes with it is junk. Purchased a separate metal stand on Amazon as well. Works perfectly now.

I had one but can’t get the updated software on my new laptop. It only supports the new one and they did offer to switch me for the new one put the too the capture button off the cord and I can’t work the laptop and scope at the same time.
Loved it!

What stand did you get? Ive seen some put it in a boom mic stand and it just clip in. Its going to be pretty much impossible to get easy consistent pictures while zoomed in without a stand of some sort. Having to hold it completely still on the bud while glancing at my phone in my lap or on the floor is a challenge, if i had a stand i could adjust and set while looking at my phone.

This is the one I use and it’s fantastic. Has zoom, it’s own lighting and a snap pic button. Will hook to phone or laptop.

I didn’t see the link. Did I overlook it? I need to check it out.
Edit; I see. Do you just click the switch on the scope to snap the photo?

I got this one and it works well enough for the.price. i quick tied it to a legit macro photography rig to dial in the focus which is otherwise quite the pain.
