What magnification do you use for though hole?
Also if I never intend to use a camera is it really worth the extra money for the SM-4T? corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ Sent from my iPhone

I picked up the AmScope SM-4T from eBAY a while back. The favorable reviews on multiple YouTube channels made the decision easy.
Still shopping for a decent CCD camera, with the added wrinkle that it be compatible with the new telescope in the CDL lab.

Best thing it's trinocular so you can mount a CCTV camera and output to any monitor you want. So no eye strain if you do lots of work. I second the Amscope SM-4T. I *LOVE* mine. Not a portable device, mind you, but even for through hole, it makes soldering a breeze.
