Have any of you used one before? I am looking for an economical way of taking magnified pictures and this looks like the way to go. I used to use a USB microscope but ever since I gave up my desktop for a laptop I can't seem to find a compatible driver.

Ordered one of these, just wondered if anyone had any good/bad experiences with them.

I still need to practice a bit. Maybe make a stand or something to brace my phone against. Took a few attempts to keep it in frame and in focus, but once I found the sweet spot it turned out pretty decent for a low cost, no set up way of taking clear, magnified pics.
