I bought the "1000x" version. In its stand-alone usage, its magnification is only about 15x (at the closest position - which has the highest magnification). This is enough for my main purpose, which is PCB repairs. However, it is not enough for some other usages. The digital zoom which is apparently provided with the software and an external big screen would not help me in this regard.
Just as described and solidly made
It is very good at that price!
