The HD-M1 holster is a tool specifically designed to secure the Dino-Lite handheld microscopes to a pole. A primary function is to hold the Dino-Lite microscope in place, making it ideal for custom applications where the user has an existing stand that is compatible with the HD-M1 holster. In addition, the HD-M1 holster can be easily attached to any pole with a diameter of either 10mm or 8mm, using another thumbscrew to secure it in place, makes the user easily adjust and tighten the grip on the microscope. This ensures that the microscope is held snugly in place and prevents it from slipping or moving during use. The HD-M1 holster is highly versatile and easy to use with a wide range of existing stands or custom-made setups.
