The pros is it does what it says it does. It's lightweight and has a lens cap (important to keep clean as it's easy for dust to impact the image quality).

The instructions are straightforward and after I downloaded the Uni Lab App everything worked great. When you connect to the App and the microscope's wifi address, your connection to your home or work wifi will be turned off (phones can only connect to one wifi at a time). There are screen shots on how to set all of this up in the manual - step by step.

The cons are the product arrived completely uncharged and you need a USB C power source to connect the power cord to charge the microscope. It charges for two hours and can be used for two hours before needing to be recharged. The light is quite bright on this microscope so I can see why it would not hold a charge long. You can keep it plugged in while using and the chord looks to be about three feet long.

There is a small red light on the end of the microscope to show it is charging and after two hours it never turned another color so i just started to use it. The manual says I should see red and blue lights when it is discharged. It turn flashing blue when i turned it on. Apparently this microscope will also work with the windows camera app on a PC but I have a Mac and just used my phone.

The pictures are pretty decent and it does exactly what I need - the ability to photograph gems with detail.

The picture shows how the box looks when it arrives. wish it came with a storage pouch. Do not throw out the manual - the manual is super helpful for the set up and trouble shooting. You can reset the microscope and the manual shows you how to do that.

Hope this review is helpful.
