4K HDMI camera microscope on a flex arm — autofocus keeps joints sharp while you work
MicroHub BenchHD 4K Autofocus Soldering Microscope
Overview
Soldering under a microscope fails when the stand crowds your hands or the image lags. The BenchHD 4K answers both: the camera head rides a flexible arm you swing in and out, the working distance is long enough for an iron and hot-air nozzle, and autofocus keeps the joint sharp as the board moves. Magnification here is optical through a continuous-zoom lens — the honest figure for work, roughly 10x–280x on a 24-inch monitor. The 4K HDMI feed has the low latency rework demands, and measurement overlays help document pad and trace dimensions for QC records.
Key benefits
- HDMI output. A live image on any monitor or TV — built for shared viewing, teaching and bench work.
- Image capture — 4K UHD camera (3840×2160) HDMI; 1080p recording. Save stills and video for records, teaching, listings or customer documentation.
- Working distance — Approx. 3.5–8 in (90–200 mm). The clearance under the lens decides whether hands and tools fit — this model publishes the figure.
- Focus — Autofocus with manual override.
- Lighting — Adjustable LED ring light (included).

Magnification, explained honestly
For this model the published figure is: Approx. 10x–280x optical zoom (on a 24-inch monitor).
Two different things get called “magnification”. Optical magnification is produced by the lens system and carries real detail. Digital zoom enlarges the captured image on screen — the picture gets bigger, but no new detail appears, because the sensor captured a fixed amount of information. MicroHub publishes the derivation with every figure; where a headline number mixes the two, the optical range is the one to compare between models.
Working distance, screen & output
| Working distance | Approx. 3.5–8 in (90–200 mm) |

The working distance is the clearance between lens and subject — the space your hands and tools actually get. Screen and output decide who can watch: a built-in LCD for one pair of eyes at the bench, HDMI for a room, USB for capture and measurement.
