TTT for the daytime folks.

Pretty darn neat. Looks like the Dinolite would be a must have for vammers.

Did you capture these using the built-in LEDs, external lighting, or a combination?
I bought one of those things at the Whitman Atlanta Show in August & it's still in the box.

It does get excellent images.

The only issue I have found is you are unable to turn off some of the LEDs. Proof coins can cause major glare due to too much light reaching the CCD which can cause some washed out images. It has eight LEDs and it would be nice if you could shut them off in stages. Allow for 8 lit, 6 lit, 4 lit, or 2 lit would be nice.

Just using the LED's and the overhead lights in my room. I can see where proofs might be harder to work with due to the reflections, same as PL and DMPL.

Which dino lite do you use?

I also have a Dino-lite, What are you using for a stand?

I founf full slab pics are hard to get, with the stand that came with mine. But putting it on top of a thick book worked.

I got a stand when I bought mine.

I got the impression it was an all in one package and do not recall if the stand was manufactured by a different company.

Mine came with the stand. I have a desk that has a pull out section that is lower than the desk top so I put the stand on that and put the coin on the desk top.
