FLEXIBLE LIGHTING AND INTUITIVE OPERATION
An LED lamp with a gooseneck mount provides flexible, precise illumination from any angle and distance.
Zoom, brightness, and image capture can be conveniently controlled via the screen or the wireless remote control.
An additional wired remote allows quick access to basic functions such as power on/off and LED control.
REMOTE CONTROL
CAPTURE, STORE, ANALYZE
The MI9 can save images and videos directly to an SD card.
With the free software, recordings can be calibrated and measured – for example, groove width, spacing, or wave structures.
This provides precise visual control of every cut.
