It's not set up for soldering while viewing.  There isn't enough room,
the scope is plastic, and the tray is easily moved with light
pressure.  This is primarily an inspection scope.

The visor I use lets me see a few sq in at a time, which is great for
soldering.  I have the #5 and #10 lenses for this:

There is, but it's so old that I've not had luck getting it working
with FC6.  Even back when it did work, the picture was double-wide for
some reason.  I use XP on my laptop to run the scope software, and
that software is so old it rearranges my desktop when it runs, so I
use a separate account for it.

I've heard there's a QX5 but I don't know about its software.
