Lapsun 4K Microscope - Sony IMX377 (?) - Unbox and Review

Why you can not write anything on your microSD cards? What hinders you?😂

Интересное видео!Благодарю Автора за добрый труд!

but this video 1080p 😂

Amazing microscope

the link to buy the stand for the microscope is broken, do you have another link, please?

Looking at the analysis chapter of this video that's exactly why I didn't buy one of these cameras, I read through and compared data and nothing added up. When you consider that they (the mainland Chinese) paint pigs black to get a higher market price and make cardboard that is being sent to recyclers wet because they get paid by the kilo, and spray paint chillies to get a higher price, you soon realise that they print whatever numbers will bring them the highest price. They're a nation of fraudsters.

After fiasco with Eakins IMX334 4k@30 1080p@60 fps (it has actually much better sensor IMX678, but it is only 30 fps at 1080p) I'm considering to buy this or another one (RF4 4KC1) with smaller sensor (visually from photos and review video where they show sensor on camera it's IMX415 or IMX715). Does your camera really provide 1080p@60 fps over HDMI? Both of your videos are only 30 fps so I cannot check visually through stepping frame by frame. I've seen 10th of 60 fps videos with cameras that claimed to be 1080p@60 fps and almost all of them in reality provide only 30 fps (and some of them, like Kaisi in metallic collor with red buttons, do not even provide 4K, toggling it in the menu does nothing, so it is ~100$ for 1080p@30fps lol), when frame stepping it takes 2 frames to refresh the image on the monitor connected over HDMI, and those few with real 1080p@60 fps looks really smooth even without frame stepping...

P.S. Most of these cameras when connected both to HDMI and USB (like in your video) will provide the lowest FPS to both outputs, so if HDMI is 60 fps, but USB is 30 fps max, it will provide only 30 fps over HDMI in this case.

i just recieved mine 0 problems they gave me the black square thing for free

Can you please tell me where I can find the aluminum stand because I am looking everywhere on ebay I couldnt find it if you can share me the link. Thank you

It could be taking the photo in the 3 colour planes, of 8k pixels each. When recombined that yields 24k

After watching this, i also removed the base ( the metal base is a pain ) and threaded a 5mm acrylic with M10 + some wood and bolt it to the side of the table like yours, thanks for the idea !!!!!

What is the mega pixel sir? Plz reply. Thank you

I can attachment telescope & slr lens canon camera to... Product sony.? Tank you.

chip soldering wasn't good at all. And it was not the microscope's fault.

Thanks for making this video. Just FYI, I found an identical looking camera unit on t*b* and the spec says it has IMX334, which does have 2x2µm pixels at 4K resolution.

I always thought a barlow lens went at the eyepiece end of the main lens

iam going to cancle the order any other way i can buy this set wtf

i just paided for the set and i got this email from lapsun what kind of bs is this ! Nieuw bericht van: lapsun_gift (39,659TURQUOISE_SHOOTING_STAR Star)
Hello,
Many thanks for your order.
Due to new shipping policy to your country, your customs request for the EORI number or TAX number, so please kindly provide it as soon, please understand.
Thanks & Best Regards!

i think iam going to order this set !

u could also try usb 3.0 or higher cable

Use a thicker spacer for the Barlow lens.

I really liked this review and was wondering if you had any plans on a follow up like after using it the past year does everything still work? and have you ever pointed it outside and recorded other things like scenery or use it as a webcam around the shop?

this even can my smartphone with a app lol

Hello thank you but I love Sony.

A zoom lens which shifts focus with zoom is much easier to design and less expensive to make. It is not a problem for still photography, just a bit slower.

Remember, what are you referring to as microscope is actually just an electronic image sensor. The microscope part is the optical lenses assembly.

thatsa huge sensor 🤣

Can you buy this camera by itself? And will it fit in the camera port of a normal microscope?
At $145, I might buy the whole kit just to get the camera...

Well I nearly bought an Andonstar AD246S-P from Amazon for £148 but the reviews all said the stand was poorly constructed. Seeing what you have done here was an inspiration. I need stability, and I already have a monitor on my work bench. Also I do not need 4000x magnification so will order the 180x lens. Much obliged.

Hello,

I might be wrong, but I think that this model is a IMX334 sensor ... some sellers on aliexpress indeed sells it indicating wrongly a IMX377 ... but I really do think that it is a IMX334 instead, here's why :
- the IMX334 is a 8Mpixel (the IMX377 is a 12Mpixel following its datasheet)
- the IMX334 has a pixel size of 2x2um ...
- other sellers (won't give names ^^' ) sells it correctly with IMX334 mentioning

Hope that helps some with this confusion ^^'

Is there any way to manually adjust aperture? Or is that not an option at that price point?

Wow, what a fantastic review and all round full set up situation. Excellent continuous perspective.

Great in depth video, thanks!

@ROKKO - I can't find your comment so I will just make a new post. My IMX334 camera was purchased from RISING CAM and is the RT5109. It's the newer version? with the IMX334. Before the camera used the IMX226 from what other people were saying. It now comes with the IMX334 and cost around $400-500 depending on where you look. From what I have seen the IMX226 is only able to output 4K @30 FPS but the one I use in my shop with the IMX334 indeed does output 4K 60 fps without all the frame interpolation un-like some of these other cheaper cameras. I originally purchased it because it claimed 4k 60 but I assumed it wouldn't be that great but 1080p 60 would be 100 % if they lied. This is one of the only vendors who actually isn't lying about the HDMI Preview frame rate and looks amazing when I record in OBS through my capture card. I have this camera connected to a 4K 55" TV also and I'm super happy with it. LAPSUN has been lying about the IMX290 camera for many years and it appears they still are when you go look them up.

Thank you for this video, after shopping around for a microscope/camera that has all these features and not costing like £700 I think this is a good entry point without sacrificing quality.

Hey ...if you bothered to watch other channels you would have bought the 0.5x Barlow lens. It's widely recommended for height Vs smd soldering.

One push white balance button, I think, is like on old camcorders when you point a lens on a white wall or something is white, then push that button and then, according to current light, the camera will calibrate itself.

your complaint about the microSD port is very common in a bunch of high end equipment that i have

how to record video

Thank you sir for your review!
After almost one year , do you still recommend this Microscope?

Un supporto per monitor da £10 ti fornirebbe un palo verticale e una morsa per ancorarlo alla scrivania.

hello, it seems to me that this LAPSUS microscope, 12mp UHD with Sony imx334 sensor, looks great, am I wrong?

please excuse my question. You mention you had a long aftersales convosation with them. But the important part of that is what did they say in regards to you realising it isnt the right sensor? did they try and defend them selves or admit they have been very miss-leading? I mean if you pay for an imx sensor thats what you should get. not something else. Look forward to your reply

IMO, the Barlow lens issue is also your fault. Even though they offered it with the bundle, you should have done your own research on what it actually does and decide if it suits your needs.

From the Wikipedia article on Barlow Lenses:

Microscope use
In microscopy the Barlow lens is used to increase working distance and decrease magnification. The lenses are "objective lenses" that are mounted in front of the microscope's last objective element. Barlow lenses for microscopes can be found with magnifications ranging from 0.3× to 2×. Some standard lenses are 2×, which decreases the working distance by half and doubles the magnification, 0.75× (3/4×), which increases the working distance by 4/3× (1.33×) and decreases the magnification by 0.75×, and a 0.5× Barlow doubles the working distance and halves the magnification.

You could have saved yourself and the seller a lot of trouble with a single internet search. In your case, a 0.5x lens would have been more than enough.

Hello, I just ordered the Sony IMX385 V2 1080P 60FPS HDMI from Lapsun for $235 US but not sure if the sensor will be any better than what you have here? It is very difficult to understand what sensor is best etc. For your camera, though It is a great picture and very doable for rework and electronics etc. I would be very happy with the camera you have for sure. thanks for the video

I bought a Sony 55 megapixel HDMI digital microscope camera 260x zoom it came with no software and I'm trying to locate software and drivers cuz when I plug it into the USB it's not even recognizing any help would be appreciated thanks in advance...

wtf! you don't have a 4k monitor and have wasted all that time of me!

I bought the RT5109 model in 2021. Sony IMX226 sensor ( 1/1.7) is written on the manual. Today, the same Model changed the sensor into Sony IMX334 sensor (1/1.8). At that time, IMX334 was about $90 cheaper than IMX226, and Panasonic sensors were about $200 cheaper. I called the seller (RisingCam) on the phone prior to making the order. He assured me that IMX226 sensor is installed. Now, I'm in high doubt. How could I figure out the model of sensor installed?
