It's portable it's lightweight and I believe it works very well I didn't give it five stars I haven't used it is much as I would like to before I give it five stars it works really well I have enjoyed it I've used it for a lot of different things including some of the circuitry boards I work on. I haven't taken any pictures of using it yet. But I do recommend it has worked out really well for myself and my daughter.

I love the design of this item. It's portable and has a variable light source. Although I enjoyed a review by The Bug Chicks. It didn't work for me. I wanted to photograph insects but the depth of field was very tiny. I did get some good shots of things that were flat.

Flipview is fun but more of a toy, I accidentally broke the moveable foot and the viewer won’t really work without that foot so I had to jerry rig it back with a screw. It wasn’t hard to brake off so be careful. Also, it zooms in and out when you have it unhooked from your computer, but odd as this sounds, when you connect the Flipview directly to your computer via USB the zoom function no longer works? This is very frustrating! It’s seems to be best for portable and field work.

This compact yet powerful digital microscope is the perfect companion for up-close observation on the go. The onboard 3-inch, full color TFT LCD screen flips out when you need it, then folds back into the microscope body for portability. A rechargeable lithium ion battery provides hours of viewing time in the classroom or on a nature walk. FlipView, with its 10x to 120x magnification is a low-power microscope perfectly designed for viewing an array of 3D specimens, from beach sand to bugs, coins and currency, documents, circuit boards, and more.
CAPTURE PHOTOS AND VIDEO
With its built-in 5 MP sensor, FlipView offers the best resolution you'll find on a Celestron digital microscope. Combine that with the 5-element IR cut lens, and you'll achieve sharp images and video of your specimens. A ring of 8 adjustable LEDs provides the perfect illumination for your shot.
Insert any Micro SD card (up to 32 GB) to save images and videos, or plug the microscope into your computer via the included USB cable and capture images using Celestron's Portable Capture Pro software. Or stream the view from FlipView to a television or projector with the included video out cable.
3 WAYS TO OBSERVE
With one of Celestron's most versatile designs, FlipView can be used in three configurations depending on the specimen you're viewing: Use it in handheld mode for quick and easy observations. Flip out the attached leg and FlipView sits on any flat surface. Perfect for viewing flat objects like stamps, currency, and more. For longer observing sessions of 3D objects, mount FlipView to the included metal stand via the 1/4-20 connector. The stand features two articulation points and can be adjusted to point it precisely at your subject.
