does anyone know a technological solution to "hands are too shakey for SMD soldering"? I am thinking of some sort of device you can place your hand on that dampens the tremors
(please RT, would really love for my gf to be able to solder fine pitch SMD stuff)

so far a manual pick & place machine (~hundreds) and Ustar UA90914 (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004749678342.html; ~$25) are the top suggestions; the Ustar device looks really promising!

microscopes/binoculars seem to work so well they even help people with Parkinsons, which I didn't expect so I'll now bump them higher in priority

@whitequark yeah, 100% vote for microscopes, it's absurd how they improve the feedback and control you have.
especially with good light.

the "cheap" 200$ ones are totally fine (although you can buy more comfort for more money)
