Congrats thats an amazing find I really want one. Get yourself a chair, turn it backwards. Then hold the eyeclops as close to the lens as you can for a less shakey grip. Next place your wrists OR the edge of the bottoms of your hands on the chair's back that is facing you. Try to put your hand and arm weight onto the chairback, when relaxed breath out and click the pic or start filming. Keep the plant as close to the chair as you can get it, if not ON the seat.
Plz post some pics with that thing when your done im interested to see how well they work

The Microscope I use is 60-100X and is from radio shack for $12.49. It works great. I have had the same one for about 4 years now. I just clip a little frosty leaf from one of the buds, place it on the counter and focus it in. Here is the link to check it out.

Do you guys really try and look deep into the trichs while on the plant? I have a jewelers glass that is 30X I think. But for really close in looking i want 60-100 magnification, which means a milimeter of movement will be huge in what you see. This is why I clip a little frosty leaf off and lay it on the counter and use the scope like it is ment.

I got a bunch of them actually. Grow gear is a bit like action figures for kids, got loads. I find I use the low powered ones much more though because the stronger ones are hard to see where you are looking. For bugs, trics all you really need is about 10x, anything over that is cool but overkill. I love overkill though.
