## What is BenchScope?

BenchScope turns your iPhone into a digital microscope for soldering and electronics repair. It's built for one thing above all: showing what the camera sees with as little delay as possible, so your hands and the screen stay in sync.

LOW LATENCY, HIGH FRAME RATE
• Up to 120 fps on ProMotion displays
• A lean Metal rendering path that always shows the newest camera frame
• Stabilization, HDR and other processing that add delay are off by default
• Live frame rate and latency readout, so you can see what each setting costs

FULL CONTROL
• Pick the lens yourself: Ultra Wide for close-up macro, Main, or Telephoto for working distance
• Zoom rail that's always on screen, with steps that snap to lossless zoom
• Tap to focus, lock focus, or focus by hand with focus peaking
• Manual ISO and shutter, or auto with exposure compensation and lock
• White balance lock or manual temperature and tint, so hot-air glow doesn't shift colors
• Detail mode (4K at 120 fps) or Speed mode (1080p, lowest latency), and 120 or 60 fps

MADE FOR THE BENCH
• Rotate and mirror the image so moving your tweezers right moves right on screen
• Lock the screen in any orientation, landscape or portrait
• Crosshair, circle and grid guides with adjustable size, color and opacity
• Contrast, sharpness, saturation and color filters
• Use the flash as a work light, and set the screen brightness
• Freeze the image, then pinch and pan to inspect joints for bridges
• Save photos and video to your library
• Presets for your favorite setups, such as a macro view for QFN rework

HARDWARE BUTTONS
• Camera Control on iPhone 16 and later: zoom, exposure, focus, lens and presets
• Volume buttons and Camera Control press are assignable: freeze, photo, record, focus lock and more

BenchScope is free for 10 minutes a day. A one-time purchase removes the limit.

No account, no tracking, no ads. Your camera image never leaves your iPhone.
