Notes

Buyer notes

Gregory 4.8

I keep the Pocket Micro in my bag and pull it out on walks to look at moss and bark up close. The LED makes a real difference when I am in the shade.

Carl 4.4

The zoom from 20x to 60x is smooth enough that I can start wide on a coin and then move in on the details. It feels sturdy in my hand.

Liam 4.7

I bought this for my kid to explore in the backyard, and now I use it just as much. The handheld design means we can both take turns without a setup.
