Well I have the handheld which I was told to focus first so I make sure to do that and then I was trying to hold it from off the plant but that is unnecessary...there is a connection piece
That doesn't let the flower get smooshed...
There is a click function to take a picture on the side of the unit so you have to see what feels more fluid to you, pressing that from the inside towards you or turning the scope away from you so the button is on the outside towards the plant
I used to shake life a leaf then started smoking this droughted flower...I have been shaking much less the last month...really helps with my anxiety. However, you can hold your weight and not have to steady it so much just by rolling the scope around as if you were doing an ultrasound-that's the best analogy I can think of
