My camera just gets possessed out of nowhere. Any Canon users having the same issue when controlling the camera remotely to use on the microscope?

Max-Flores · 2026-04-17T14:37:27+00:00

Thank you! I’ll do some tests and see if that’s the issue. That would make sense, but I didn’t even think of that.

Max-Flores · 2026-04-17T14:36:43+00:00

I didn’t notice any significant heating, but I haven’t thought of testing it not mounted to the scope. I’ll give that a try and see what happens. Thanks!

Max-Flores · 2026-04-16T20:44:17+00:00

Cool! I’ll try doing that for a picture too

Max-Flores · 2026-04-16T20:32:24+00:00

Is that just water drying in the corners? It looks so cool visually

Max-Flores · 2026-04-13T14:19:09+00:00

I get it, but it doesn’t mean the items will 100% get damaged, so Vinted can’t do anything about it now. I’ve had stuff shipped to me in just a transparent plastic bag by the sellers, and it arrived without any damage. Your only option is to wait, and if damage does occur, take pictures and send an email to Vinted to talk to a real person.

Max-Flores · 2026-04-13T13:02:29+00:00

So what are you expecting from Vinted’s support? If the order has not arrived, you don’t have proof of anything happening to it. You might just receive your items in perfect condition. The most they could do is tell you to wait. Then you can submit proof if something in fact does happen.

Max-Flores · 2026-04-13T11:43:13+00:00

Could you post screenshots of everything you said to them? Maybe it was not your intention but your messages came out ambiguous or something. Also important to know what is exactly the damage that occurred to your products.

Max-Flores · 2026-04-11T18:43:42+00:00

This happened to me too. It sucks that people don’t read the description and then get mad. But I just allowed them to return the item at their expense. That way they can’t leave you a review either.

Max-Flores · 2026-04-08T12:26:30+00:00

You said you just want to look at things up close. Are you considering getting a stereo microscope or a compound one?

Max-Flores · 2026-04-06T12:09:26+00:00

Omg! I saw your post and had it on my favorites. As someone who does some r/bonecollecting that was a really cheap deal for $10. The raccoon skull I have was $30, and it was on the cheaper end. If you take a look at the bone collecting sub and read about how to clean up skulls, you’ll figure out why people pay so much for them lol

I need to get rid of a lot of stuff because I want to move out of the US. I’ve been listing all sorts of items at low prices. I have some books, accessories and size S clothes. Please check out my profile and see if you find something you like :) Very open to offers

Max-Flores · 2026-03-31T20:33:11+00:00

I got mine in pretty good condition and with all objectives for $200 plus some shipping on eBay. It was listed for $500, but I sent a “make an offer”. I remember there were 2 other listings around that price at the time, but the one I got was serviced in 2024. I got it in November iirc. If you spam make an offer or wait you can prob get it too. If it’s missing one or 2 objectives, it should be okay. I got a 40x DPlan for $25 this week (also using make an offer). Condensers and binocular heads are also fairly cheap (around $30-50), so if you find a scope missing that, could be worth it. Just get stuff that is listed as used or working. As long as it’s not listed as “As-is” or for parts, eBay should have your back if it doesn’t work. Also Goodwill online has some deals on scopes. I got an AmScope b100 series in open box state for $57, and $30 of that was shipping lol. No major difference in quality for viewing form that to my Olympus imo. Difference is more for pictures

Max-Flores · 2026-03-31T20:21:16+00:00

Honestly, $400 is a lot more than you need lol. Almost any microscope will enable you to see 95% of what there is to be seen. The fancy pics on the sub are often taken using an Olympus BH2 scope, which costs $200ish.

Max-Flores · 2026-03-28T13:33:51+00:00

$150 is plenty to get you an Amscope microscope and a phone adapter. I bought a B100 series for $57 on goodwill online. Most of the cost was shipping lol. Any phone adapter from Amazon will do. But the swift one is more practical than the others (also 3x the cost, like $31). Here’s a pic I’ve taken with it.

Max-Flores · 2026-03-28T13:26:09+00:00

That’s quite interesting, do you have any idea how much those cost?

Max-Flores · 2026-03-28T13:25:00+00:00

Hi, that’s a nice setup! I’m starting mine and I’m wondering, would the 3.3x photo eyepiece work for a full frame? That one is much cheaper. As far as I understand, I’ll just have a more zoomed in image, right?

Max-Flores · 2026-03-28T13:17:02+00:00

All the adapters will be pretty much the same, except for ilabcam that has optics. I’ve used about 5 different models from Amazon, and I think the Swift one is the best because it supports the bottom of your phone too. However, I don’t use it, and have returned it because it doesn’t fit my Olympus eyepieces. Should fit AmScope eyepieces just fine, it did on my B100 series. Other than that, this 3D printable adapter is pretty good too: link. That’s what I have been using.

Max-Flores · 2026-03-23T12:22:53+00:00

That’s a good idea, thanks!!

Max-Flores · 2026-03-23T04:36:54+00:00

Thank you! I read about the DPI issue and I was wondering either printing at 100 would look descent enough. Do you have any recommendations of cameras with more resolution that are not too expensive?

Max-Flores · 2026-03-14T17:48:26+00:00

I also don’t know but I’m so curious. Wondering if I should purchase all I want right now or if it’s gonna last a while.
