Yeah I’m anxious to add that new lenses. It’s rather well built, heavy and in two pieces.
Found the company site; https://www.xenvopro.com/pdp/pro-lens-kit/
This just cleared up the double lenses question I had.
WIDE ANGLE LENS + MACRO LENS
TRUVIEW 0.45X WIDE ANGLE LENS
Capture 45% more picture with every snap.
CLARUS 15X MACRO LENS
Marvel your senses. Magnify nearby subjects for breathtaking, super close-up photos.

Its a mount for both landscape and portrait, protects two sides and gives me a bigger grip.

With my 3 plants defoliated and watered a second time with NLS Girl Flower Power compost tea yesterday, I thought Friday would be a good day to do the macro shots.
I’m going to try taking the same shots using these two setups.
I took a couple quick shots with the telescope last night. It really does take some great shots. The biggest drawback is no auto focus. It’s a manual dial and takes some finessing to get it right. I’m sure a tripod will help.

- iPhone 12 Pro with 15x macro lens (and wide angle lens if needed) and Camera+ 2 app.
- USB 1000x telescope connected to iPhone by wifi.

14 Feb 2021 - two days into week 7
OK I just sat in the tent for an hour messing around with both setups. I turned down the SF4000 to it’s lowest setting.
The microscope does have a variable dial light. Turning it all the way up would wash out the lighter areas of the bud so I had to lower that. With it’s 1000x magnification you can literally lay it on the bud using the tripod and get in there. I prefer the colors the phone takes, they are right on. With either setup even these slightest movement takes it out of focus, there’s no way I could do this otherwise. Once the bud or device stops moving you use the remote to take the shot with the phone and the phone (using wifi) to take the shot on the microscope so there’s no chance of a bad shot on either unless you don’t dial in the focus.
Overall I prefer the versatility of the phone app which has so many settings I still need to figure out.
If you like simple the microscope is the most straight forward. Set the light level and dial in focus.
With both sets of equipment I attempted to take photos set on the lowest zoom level with the app on the phone and (50x power) on the microscope too have images showing more of the bud. Note: the photo with the hair was on purpose, I could not even see that hair with my reading glasses on!
1000x Microscope
The phone holder held the microscope base perfectly.
Please note I wasn’t always focusing on trichomes, I was attempting to takes shots of the various parts of the bud.
The microscope will be fun to cut a piece of the plant off to lay on a table that would fit inside the clear housing to get as close as possible to really take advantage of that 1000x zoom.

The Macro and Zoom option were both turned on in the app. This 3rd party app is so impressive even without the external Macro lens.
Please note I wasn’t always focusing on trichomes, I was attempting to takes shots of the various parts of the bud. Thats what I like about the camera and app, it acts a lot like a real film camera.

Man, the cat hairs are killing me. Now that everything is getting so sticky. The problem is, I can barely see them with the naked eye. To get some “hairless†shots I’ll need to wear my magnifier glasses and pull them with tweezers. :frown:

What do you guys think? This is day 54 of a strain they say is 60-67 days. All are the same strain. I noticed one of the plants has some amber trichomes already, but the others look clear to me??? Aren’t trichomes supposed to go from glass to milky to amber? These seems to be going from glass to amber. I do want the late harvest amber to get the relaxed body, anti-anxiety effect.

Great shots, and i have the same problem but with my ever watchful Dog, I do not let her in when I have the grow box opened up (Can not teach her to wear sunglasses), but she sheds enough and the fans just suck it up into the plants....

Day 58
Saturday, 27 February 2021
Using the microscope (various settings both focus and led light). The large light in the tent had to be turned off, not even setting it to the lowest setting worked. So the only light was from the microscope. The app Max-See on the iPhone via wifi takes the the shots.
