I bought one of these from Banggood back when it only came with a suction cup style mount. It was so unstable for taking a photo that I disassembled the unit and added an external pushbutton on a cable. Later they introduced the aluminum stand and I bought one. With that it at least made it usable.?

I found that there didn't seem to be any difference in the resolution settings from 5mp down to 1.3mp photos and if I tried to take photos in the 5mp setting that about half the time the unit would freeze and I had to hit the reset button. So I just left it in 1.3mp. So strike one against it, better to take photos with my cellphone! Next the display screen, it's contrasty, poor color saturation and low resolution. So you might use this for some inspection work but I sure wouldn't use it for actual solder work. Strike two, better to use a jewelers magnifying band that I've used for years. Last but not least is the integrated light, which is not bright enough to adequately illuminate the subject without being extremely close. A couple of the photos on the shared album where taken while holding a strong flashlight to the side. There's one taken with only the integrated light and another with the flashlight. I'd thought about adding side lights on both sides of the unit to get adequate balanced lighting.??

This link will take you to a shared album with some photos that hopefully give you a visual idea of what I'm talking about.

Mine has firmware version 1.3 and that appears to be latest version. So nothing has been done to fix any of the flackyness. If someone else has purchased one recently and check their firmware version it would be interesting to verify.
