I bought an SM 4NTP Amscope Stereoscope and this is my experience with using it to repair watches. I forgot to mention in video - this is a simulfocus microscope - which means that the camera doesn't have to 'share' with the eyepieces. You always can record an image while having full stereo vision through the eye pieces.
Talk about all the parts and pieces to make this thing really work well.

UPDATE: I SWITCHED TO a .35 C mount adapter. This lessens the crop factor in a big way, though still not 100 percent. So - use the .35 adapter instead of the.5 cmount adapter I discuss in the video. Also didn't need the C-CS mount adapter with this switch. The edge of the lens does vignette on the right hand side, slightly - but this is still preferable to a massively cropped image.

Update (Dec 2025) - updated camera and desk. Even better stuff than I originally had. Nice.
