Your video has helped me greatly. I needed a camera similar to northridgefix for myself. I have some decent soldering and electronic repair skills but i only fix my own stuff and i don't make money on my hobby so i can't pay those elevated prices that Northridgefix charges. I got myself one of the equivalent cameras for less than 200 and am blown away. I know Northridge is over charging big time for his cameras. Thanks to your videos and expertise i found something very close for a fraction of the price. Your breakdown and take apart videos are very appreciated. Thank you.

I didn't get the exact camera you linked from Lapsun. I chose the one with autofocus. Actually, the kit which has the heavy duty articulating arm. It came in at about $670 USD including tax and shipping. I think you are 100% correct that the camera you got is the same one NF is selling. Regarding the autofocus, I like it, but you have to switch to manual after initially focusing on your work, otherwise it will try to refocus on your hand or iron. Still, it makes it easier to use. Camera also works with a wireless mouse. I just happened to have a cheap Logitech mouse I wasn't using. I decided to try it, and it just works. It's nice because I'm right handed, but I have the camera mounted on the left. The wire from the included mouse was just always in the way. The ring light and the camera come with separate power adapters, but both can easily work with the one for the camera. The only thing needed is a 5.5mm x 2.1mm Y adapter, and one polarity reversing cable because the ring light has reversed polarity. Could also just open it up and swap the wires. I also got a short extension cable with an inline switch. There were two 3mm threaded holes on the front of the camera, so I opened the switch, drilled two holes, and mounted it there. Click the switch and the camera and ring light turn on, and the monitor comes on automatically when it detects a signal. I've been doing repair work for years, and this is my first camera microscope. My eyes aren't what they used to be. It is so much easier being able to see while I'm soldering, as opposed to doing it blind and using my phone camera to zoom in and inspect my work.

The imx385 is a CMOS sensor, not CCD. The price of these small average specced sensors in china is in range of $10 to $20. The sensor is nothing fancy.. I do design cameras (much more advanced than this) and I can tell you that all these microscope or astro heads (which some uses ripped off DSLR sensors) are rather overpriced - if that was a point of the video. The whole system is at the tech level of a $100 compact camera.

What connector pins were you connecting to on the device with, to get in those tiny holes? Surely not the hook type grabbers? Couldn't see close enough on the video. I have a camera that has similar tiny holes, and I have hook style grabber pins or the nipper style grabbers, but can't see how either of those would work, so curious what how those are actually connected to the UART on the device.

OK, got it

Lapsun who’s the supplier for NRF I assume learned their lesson scamming everyone on the fake IMX290 microscope cameras. That is why the PCB doesn’t have the 385 marking to show what sensor it is. They will do what they did in the older cameras eventually and change the sensor without telling anyone. That’s why NorthRidgeFix’s old model claimed to be IMX290 yet when you opened it up there was the far less cheaper less superior IMX307 sensor. NRF never actually sold the IMX290 sensor and when I tried to tell them about this they just ignored me.

If you go check NRF forums you will or should still see people posting the screen shots of the IMX307 PCB boards but nothing was ever done.

@@made.by.morten.laboratories Definitely ! originally NRF had IMX290 in the description but then one day it was gone after a few videos starting to show up for china companies scamming the sensors for multiple cameras. I can only assume he started seeing the forum post's about his and decided not to specify which sensor to keep him out of trouble. I honestly think he didn't know or even knew how to check after he already purchased 50 - 100 sets. He should have at least address it and said hey this camera is similar to mine but the sensor is not specified. There's no chance he doesn't know that his V1 cameras were not the IMX290 like the one he was using in his videos. You can go back and watch a few comparisons and its night and day. I like the IMX385 but I really like the video quality of the real IMX290. The sensor technology in that one is amazing and there's no other sensor like it. They do have a IMX291 and its really really close to the IMX290 but doesn't have the same tech when it comes to the low light capabilities. Depending on your use you may not even be able to tell with the right setup. That camera only cost around 170 - 210.

The only problem is they stopped making them for some reason 4-5 years ago. I haven't found a legit supplier for any IMX290. Rising Cam has a RT5109 - 4K real 60FPS which is actually one of the few good cameras for the price. Almost all of these camera being sold now are using frame interpolation to get the " 60 FPS ".

@Daisy Wang, hello - i have 2 projects ready

I agree that the camera is overpriced. Clearly, they marked up it up a lot to fill their pockets.

100% true and I hope they don’t start switching out the sensor again like they did on the original microscope camera. The “IMX290” was really the IMX307 which was 1/3 rd the cost. NRF never brought up the issue even in the forums on his site of people posting the PCB Screen shots shows 307 markings on the sensor board.

I don´t understand your point, should they sell it to you without making any profit?

@@SHINdanny Obviously not but they don't understand their main audience at that price point. Their viewers are DIYers, makers, and people looking to save a penny by doing repairs instead of replacing the item in question. He markets this overpriced product to us as if we're dumb so its pretty fair that we should criticize him for it. Very few people are going to buy it for practical purposes outside of product reviews. Oh, and would you look at that: v1 of the microscope camera isn't available in the store anymore.

@@classyjohn1923 thank you for your reply. I just checked his shop once and since I live in a different continent I´ve never considered ordering anything due to high shipping costs. I use my phone for this type of work, and it works well since it also has a built-in thermal camera ...it´s just a hobby ;) So you´re right in my case, I would not even think about buying a one-purpose camera priced that high, rather a macro-lens for my DSLR and use that. I just didn´t like the expression "to fill their pockets" because of the mark-up. It´s a business. If it is to high and only a few customers buy the camera, he might adjust it ...or maybe not.
