Most of my soldering nowadays is done peering down a binocular
microscope. If I have to do more than I can manage to hold my breath
for, I use a snorkel. Works well.

I love my Mantis. It's super 3D, super bright and clear, and has a big
working distance.

I can put a rackmount box on the bench and swing the Mantis over/into
it.

You can also poke a regular camera into the hood

I don't worry about solder smoke. I've been soldering since I was 3
years old.
