Holding it wrong? Check. No solder? Check. No soldering iron stand? Check. No fume filter? Check. No ESD mat? Check. No third hand or other holder? Check. No way to clean the soldering iron tip? Check.
How hard is it to talk to someone that actually does what you want to show and make sure it's at least a reasonable depiction? Oh wait people are lazy shits and nobody checks anything.
Right, carry on.
A lot of these are actually good examples of the difference between a hobbiest or a professional. If she just held it correctly and you told me there was a bit of solder somewhere we can't see, I could very easily believe this was a real photo of a hobbyist.
Most of what you listed are luxuries and conveniences. The one exception is the fume hood, which is a safety concern, but I would say that's overkill for any hobbyist and maybe even a lot of professionals. A small fan and a reasonably vented/sized room is fine. Heck, I only bother grabbing my fan if I know i'm going to be doing more than ~15 minutes of soldering.
yeah, i just do it in the garage with the door open (only better ventilation in the house is out back by the grill) and use lead-free solder. a third hand and a sponge are enough and my hand will never be steady enough to work with a magnifying lens
I have a $15 USB powered soldering iron and it scares me a bit every time I use it. Nothing should be able to get that hot off of a 5V USBA plug.
This was made by incompetent people for incompetent people. And to be fair, I usually don't have a fume hod or a third hand either. I usuly worn close to an open window on the rare occasions I solder something. I 100% agree wit the rest though.
