Hello

I'm trying find the name or any links to where a camera on an adjustable mount that can be used to see close up for phone / motherboard repairs can be purchased. Every search term I try brings tons of links for things I don't want(learn to be a camera technician, have your motherboard repaired etc etc :-)). I'm sure some of you have seen these used on YT repair videos. Any ideas?

TIA

from another of my posts

Note: If you are looking as a hobbyist, then the following will be expensive.

So far Amscope model SM-3TZ-54S-5M used by a colleague in his company is a suitable contender, but if the camera is used then you dont get binocular vision as the left eye piece is blanked out
Cost is US$700 and post via UPS is another US$ 200. The stand is really heavy! Need to confirm if the voltage for the led is mains 110 to 230V

I got this one https://strangeparts.com/a-boy-and-his-microscope-a-love-story/ - the camera is a bit blah and blows out the bright parts but dimming the light lets you see the reflective areas ok. Was going to put my micro4/3rds on it instead to get decent manual control but never bothered.

Its gone up massivly since I got my one tho.

Both of the above option look fantastic but are way above my pay grade. Using the link above though I was able to follow a trail which did lead to some potential options, so I am *eternally* grateful for both your help. Thank you.
