I want it for the magnifying glass when working crossword puzzles - will it be helpful?

I would recommend something a little larger for a crossword puzzle. This pen is really probably better for something that is quick like reading and signing a bill at a restaurant.

Yes, I think it will be helpful. Perhaps not the best solution, but worth a try. Remember, it's just a tiny magnifying glass. So, you have to get it at just the right position for your eyes, and then you have to move it if the clue is larger than the set magnifying area. Doing that for every clue will get tiresome. A better solution? How about a pair of readers with the led lights on the sides? That's what I prefer.

It should, as the up down height is adjustable so the magnifier falls in the right place on the view screen

Yes it will work for that. I use it to look at coin dates and detail and also to see if jewelry is 14 k or sterling silver.

My hubby uses this for making jewelry and loves it so I've been thinking about purchasing a 2nd one for myself. My concern is the height of the lamp and the ability to adjust it for close up cross stitch and needlework and I've been procrastinating trying it out. Your question prompted me to get off my butt to go sit in the chair (thank you for that!) and adjust it to a good spot just to see if it might work, and it appears it will work great; however without actually attempting to stitch under it I can't say for sure. The magnifying it provides looks like it would be absolutely great for doing cross stitch or other close up needlework! I used to have an Ott-Lite and I think this Fulcrum has a much higher magnifier. Wish I could be of better help!

Yes, it allows magnifications. If you don't want it, keep it 1x. It's very simple, just turn the ring near the eye piece to vary the magnifications. 1x itself is so large, you'll rarely use 3x which will go slightly beyond normal view and we have to move the eyeballs to get the wide view at 3x. I like this product, which has given me lot of advantages, like perfect view of LCD screen without extraneous light on the screen, helps a lot in quick focussing, which is just not possible without this product!

I think it would, it has a screw on clamp that holds really tight. Mine is on a level end table; I use it for my needle point and it works "excellent".It's the best purchase I ever made. And I made plenty of purchases regarding magnifying glasses for my needle points. And it swivels and bends and has a "really" bright light! I'm very pleased with it.

just for a reading lamp, probably. I wanted it primarily for its magnification. Not good for that. The light produced is more ambient than direct lighting.

Oh definitely. As long as the sight image is not in a radically different spot that is not lined up with the magnifier, it should be fine. Heck, I have my set about six inches forward of my magnifier (would have to wear glasses to shoot, otherwise) and it works fine.

Not at all. From the description, it is supposed to help people with imperfect vision. I found it pretty useless as I have 20/20. It further seemed like I was looking down a paper towel roll. I am very interested in their other magnifier which can work with a variety of others. Primary Arms makes one but I haven't seen any side by side comparisons.

It depends if the clamp will fit to whatever you attach it to. Clamp opens about only an inch. Magnifying glass is very helpful.

A magnifier isn't designed to work with this kind of optic from what I understand. Plus mine didn't work anyways, so it would be pointless.

I don't know but to me it was pretty disappointing. Not much quality. Magnifying glass on a tube.

It might. Sometimes I have trouble reading the satellite program guide from Dish Network without getting up from the armchair and the scope helps with that. But it depends too upon your TV set resolution. Cheaper and older analogue sets can be difficult to read fine text with -- even close up.

I believe this clip will work, I use mine for attaching a magnifier circle on my lanyard style faux leather neck strap, and I wear it, or one almost like it everyday. Try it, they do not cost too much, so find another use if that doesn't work out. Good luck

I would get something a little more complex. This is really just a glorified magnifying glass. I got it for my son when he had just turned 3 and it was great for just looking at stuff in the yard close up. It doesn't show cells or anything like that.

Yes. It's ideal for any kind of small print. My Mom is 90% blind due to glaucoma and still manages to do a lot of reading by connecting this device to the TV or by plain scanning and reading directly from it. I strongly recommend it also because it is quite durable and can take a few drops etc which are bound to happen when older people handle objects.Hope this has been useful.Best regards,Col PK Vasudevan+91 7589134885

The one I ordered has a very strong magnifier, and will work for cross stitch. It will not tip, the base is heavy and the wheels make it easy to move. I have not used it on carpeting, which could make it a litter harder to move, one just has to be careful. I use mine on a hard surface. The magnifier arm stays put and the the light is just great. I use mine when I am sewing. The only thing I think could be improved is the lid which covers the magnifier, it would be better if it would lay flat when opened. I use my daily and I like it.
