Having done enough (red) eye cracking smd soldering jobs or inspections in case of suspected failure (cold joints, etc.), I've decided to invest a bit on a better optical setup.

There's plenty of cameras on the marketplaces and retailers out there, but what are some better choices? Good experiences with some specific models?
If you have an opportunity, check out a Mantis. Sometimes you can find good deals on used

lot of writeup on them on eevblog.
