3rd hand scope probe holder with built in microscope

[electronupdate]

I was trying to juggle holding a scope probe, adjusting the scope and then trying to press a key on my computer to start some firmware while looking though a microscope while debugging a circuit board.

It was not going well!

Attached is a link to a video on the solution I came up with. Perhaps of interest to others on this board?

It combines a scope probe holder with a vision system so it's much easier to find a net to probe while freeing up my hands!

Now that is ingenious.

Sometimes I find I need a third (or even a fourth) hand.
An aging fisherman gave me his 'helping hand' tool which he used to tie his fishing flies... consisting of two alligator clips on flexible arms. With magnifying glass. That's been real handy lots of times.
