you can buy for less on the ebay some camera's lens from 50x to 200x, but they'ren't cool like this one :D

i 2nd the 30x scope. IMO, it allows you to see more trichomes and get a better estimate of what percentage is cloudy, clear or amber. i have a 30x of ebay and 60x-100x from radioshack. i find myself going to the 30x all the time.

edit: i just clicked on the link that you provided. that looks exactly like the radio shack version with 420 painted on it. radio shack sells theirs for $11 plus tax, the 420 one is $27. wow, it seems like a lot of products increase prices once they realize they can sell it to the marijuana community.

I have to agree . In my experances 30x is about max for the hand. The 60-100x is just too much mag.

I have a 30x atm but it doesn't have a light and was pretty annoying to use (you had to slide it in and out like a telescope, and hold it in the right spot)...I've got a 60-100x 420 scope coming in the mail, should arrive tomorrow.

I can always use it to check out nugs at home :D

ps. I like their nug jars...

Not sure if is allowed ? but uk lidl have imho a decent scope in store now and then 30x60x100 for 5.99 been working for me twelve months , ill sling a pic up when home if any interested .

Lidl has a scope for 5.99? Nice one.
I just bought the 420 Scope last week and find it a little difficult to use with 2 adjustable thingys. I bought it to replace my old Lumagny.
I'm gonna buy one of them USB microscopes with stand and take pictures with it on my PC, will be easier for me and will have a better view of the resin glands than my fidgiting and shaking hands holding a microscope.

I've got the 60-100x scope as well, took me a few days to get used to it, i've found it can be quite hard to use if trying to look at the trichs while in the grow room, especially with the oscilating fans in there you manage to get a great image then woosh! the fan blows the bud side-to-side and you lose the clear image, it's beautiful when you get it spot on tho, i'm gonna look into those 30x ones as well

Peace

i just spent £50 on a usb scope from maplin and it didnt include a stand.
at 300 X, i just aint steady enough in me old age to hold it.
 
#17
I got my scope at radio shack for around the same price, they got a 30x and a 60-100x. looks EXACTLY like theres, i like there jars i actually got a few. One of the Diesel, one Northern Night's Jar and a Hello My Strain is jar. Got them at Hemp Fest this year in Seattle, Wa
 
#18
Yeah those USB scopes looks to be the shit.. might get one soon
 
#19
I have that 420 scope and imo it kinda sucks. Maybe my hand is not steady enough but you have to be right ON the bud which I don't dig, then its so magnified you spend a hot minute rubbing the bud just trying to get focused and its pretty in and out. I'll probably either get a better camera or 30x cheapie.

i have to agree with mr sog and frog when it comes to looking at trichomes on living plants 100x is too much ! 30x is just about right ! ! ! i didnt find the 420 scope useful !!!

i use one of these ! 30x

.......works very well ! ! !


i've had a "420" for at least a year and will say its useful for looking at finished buds when dry and hash ect !
