Carlos - my Leica scope sits on the stand that came with it when I purchased it from Tira. It has a lot of flexibility and is great for large items. But, when I am working on watches and other small items I attach my Leica to my old simple Amscope stand. For me that seems to be more solid especially because I have a bad tendency to press my eyes into the scope.

I bought the Leica A60 from Tira a few years ago and will say that the arm she sold with it allows me great mobility as I swing it over my engraving setup and also use it over my jeweler's bench with just a swing of the arm. It saved me from having to have 2 separate mounts/scopes and use it for everything from sawing with a jeweler's saw to using the flex shaft and over my watchmaker's lathe. It is a great scope, great setup and a joy to use.

Rex,
I do the same thing but to my tv monitor next to my bench I connect my ipad to it.

The reason I love the tablet (or even picture) right there is you actually don't take your eyes off of the scope. Just roll them up to see the picture and back down to engrave.

ZZ here is a head rest idea YMMV a Manfrotto Magic friction arm. Camera shops have them. Still I made the headrest bow part

Rex and Dave.......I love it.
All we need now is a coffee percolator, cup holder and a beer cooler on the stand and we would never have to leave the work bench
Cheers

I've got the cup holder. No beer cooler, I just have a Keurig machine integrated into the GraverMach....

Dave: Everything can be locked down tightly if that's your preference.

I bought the Leica A60F from Tira a year and a half ago and it has been great. I have it on my bench in my kiosk inside the Mall and use it for Engraving, stone setting and also for watch repair. The Focus on it is incredible, and you can zoom in and out with no issues, and like Sam explained the working area is just fantastic for what we do. I give an A+ from me, and I want to thank Tira for helping me with all my questions I had when I made the purchase, she is a wonderful person to deal with

Sam: What is the magnification range, as in low to high. The Meiji with a .5 lens is 3.5 to 22.5 power. Is the Leica comparable in power or is it less or more powerfull than the Meiji?

Has anyone heard from GRS if they sell the adaptor separately?
I sent them an e-mail, but they are not answering me.
