I believe that didn't include shipping, which I had the foresight to include to be as accurate as possible. :p

I'm going to order one for myself. If I can use it to watch what I'm doing on my big screen monitor (as I suspect I can), there's no doubt in my mind that it would be good for that! :)

You could probably get good macro shots. Kinda like this except you can take the shots.

@TB,
Just be sure this model allows some distance from camera to object. (So you can get tools in between) I bought something similar a few years back, and the camera lens had to be almost on top of the object,
I then bought a proper binocular microscope, with the correct lens to give me distance and some depth of field. Its a tricky balancing act, you end up using a -X2 lens to give your self some room! so a 80X mag becomes X40.

As far as the link that started this thread, I'm sure I'll be doing some more research before getting something like it. My goal is to use it to do some lume work, and maybe get some nice close up shots. :)

You can't. I don't use mine much for actual work but it's great for taking pics of MVTs and such as well as just general amusement.
