During a recent zoom meetup with other electronic YouTubers, EEV-Dave asked how I get my detailed PCB images. I've been stalling on making a video about this for a long time due to the very rough appearance of my set-up. But as it's unlikely to change anytime soon (because it's the prototype that worked), here's my system for getting those shots.

It can be adapted to suit other items by scaling it up with trial and error. It's also very rugged as demonstrated on the zoom meeting when I lobbed it over my shoulder, knocking my bottle or radium gin off the shelf behind me. (it's not actually radioactive).

If you want to see the full zoom meeting with me, EEV-Dave, Julian Illet, the Post Apocalyptic Inventor, Martin Lorton, Mike's electric stuff and Electroboom at the end then it can be viewed here:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
