thrifty_nickel Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 03/02/2020 8:54 pm Sorry folks....since my research, gotta come back to you and re-ask and clarify the question again with the following considerations: I am disabled veteran, and part of the disability makes me shake so bad that a stable shot of a coin with a digital camera or smartphone. The ones that I'm finding online all seem to have the "snap" button on the barrel of the microscope camera someplace which would still possibly make the image not crisp. Is there a model out there where I can snap the setup photo shot with a USB corded button, or do so with Windows while connected via USB. Please send ANY suggestions that will help in this dilemma. I sincerely appreciate the help. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 03/02/2020 9:01 pm @tn. yes a shaking hand is tough, but I wonder if you can rest the phone on a stack of books with just the camera hanging off the edge and then tap the button to get your pic? In this way, you wouldn't have to hold the camera at all. Let me know if you think that it might work.

JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 03/08/2020 10:03 pm @Thrifty_nickel, my advice would be to check them yourself. I realize taking photos with unsteady hands can become a hassle (happens to me too) it use to take me anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes just to get one good photo with my phone, now it only takes 2 minutes maximum (Obverse & Reverse). If it helps you in your case you can send me an email and I can 3D Print you a stand for your phone, all I would need is the Model of your phone you are using (example: iPhone 6S, Samsung Galaxy or Other) so I can print the appropriate size. If it is something you would be interested in you can cover the postage and consider the rest as a welcome to the community. Cheers!

HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 03/12/2020 7:12 pm I recently purchased this scope/camera. If you don't mind spending around $110(with instant clip coupon) it would probably work well for you. It comes with a remote control that you can snap photos with and control a lot of the camera functions. 7inch color display screen. Great zooming. Does not hook up to your computer, uses micro sd card(not included). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...e=UTF8&psc=1 Edited by HumblePie 03/12/2020 7:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
