Good Magnifier - Large 5x!1

I bought this magnifier for my 87 year old mother who has lost most of her eyesight to glaucoma.  She has a 5x that was given to her by the society for the blind but it is so small, she can only read one or two words at a time which is a challenge to grasp the entire context of a sentence.  I know the higher the power, the smaller the lens gets, so I was skeptical about the truth in advertising of this product.  I figured I would return it if it was not any better than the one she has.  I ordered it on a Saturday, had it delivered to her and she got it the next Tuesday.  She called me to tell me she really liked it and it was a good magnifier.  She said, "Dad put the batteries for the lights in and I can see more than just a word at a time!"  I am so pleased that she is pleased.  In my opinion, the 5x magnifier improved her quality of life by helping her to be able to read better.  She is using the 10x lens without the handle, but the iMagniphy 5x is her primary lens.  Thank you iMagniphy!

From all of my OCD research into alternatives to the EOTECH G33 that I really wanted, I found this to be the best bang for the buck magnifier for my needs.  I can't justify the added expense of the G33. I looked hard at the all the usual suspects and narrowed down my selection to the Primary Arms combo, Vortex, and the Burris.  The Vortex is nice, but the magnifier slides to the left and I'm right eye dominant, the Primary Arms combo was nice too, but the reviews were hit or miss. I like the quality material and workmanship, pairs up perfectly with EOTECH 512. A65, nice clarity, decent (could be better) eye relief. I highly recommend this, I like EOTECH, but I like keeping my money in my pocket.

Would prefer a slightly larger magnifyer but then it probably would not fit in my pocket.  So, the present size is a good compromise.

I bought this for my dad. These magnifying glass is lighted by led. Ideal for reading maps. It has 3 high quality magnification glasses - 2.5x, 5x and 16x, interchangeable with a simple button release feature. This magnifier works great! It is large enough to use at work or home without squinting.
I received this product for free/reduced amount for review and inspection purposes.

I had my doubts at first as it read 6x-It Does deliver at a certain spot too-Love This One!
So glad I got it & it does read very large even with good glasses on-it magnifies a good size & have used it several times in the few days I have had it.
Comfortable to handle & use for reading the things I need to in smaller print. This is not the first one I got but I think the best so far!

There were many magnifiers to choose from after my light/magnifying mounted fixture broke. I already had a light, so I bought this one. Magnification is excellent, and the little light on it is wonderful for focused tasks, and brighter than I expected, bright enough to actually light the subject adequately. I have terrible eyesight, and my eyes get tired sometimes even with my glasses. This helps during those times or when my craft creations get very small. I would recommend this magnifier.

Perfect magnifier. It comes with a set of a 2.5x lens, a 5x lens, and a 16x lens. It was just what I was looking for to be able to see the 18k gold mark in a few earrings I bought recently. I used the 16X high magnifying lens. It does the work. Thank you for a fine product. :)

This magnifier is good and clear but it can be hard to focus on any thing that does not lay flat.  I bought it for my lawn care business.  I did not think I could go wrong at that price point.

The Carson Pro Magnivisor Delux is great for my needs.  It is hands free. (Being one handed, that's very helpful to me!).  The opicts are excellent. There's little if any distortion.  The only reason I knocked off one star is because the lense for the highest magnification is apparently too heavy, and keeps dropping out of my visor.

I'm not used to any headband, so I don't  have any basis for comparison.  Having said that, it's fully adjustable, and unless it squeezes my head too much,(which i can readilly fix) it holds in place quite easily. It has a light that raises up and lowers down, goes left and right and tilts in any direction. That is very useful too, because by pulling it out from the top of the visor or pushing it out with help of a hole that was put on the underside of the visor, I'm able to have a bright temporary easily.  Overall, I'd heartedly recommend this magnifier!

I am really pleased with this product.  The 30x magnification appears real, and the 22mm lens diameter is enough to easily locate the tiny specs you are trying to magnify.

The 60x12mm lens is nice to have available for extra magnification when you need it.  The 12mm lens diameter is frustratingly small for finding tiny objects, but having it right next to the 30x22mm helps.

The price of $11.99 with free shipping is very reasonable, and compares favorably with the other good 30x option I found - a 30x25mm lens for $12.95 plus $4.99 shipping.  [...]

For a slightly larger magnification, I highly recommend a 40x 25mm lighted Jeweler's Loupe product I also purchased on Amazon for only $7.99 with free shipping.&nbsp;.  This has the same great 25mm lens diameter that makes it easy to find things.  This product shipped directly from China and took almost two weeks to arrive.  However, when it did arrive, it exceeded my expectations.

Note that the stronger 40x magnification but may be too strong for some applications, so I recommend having both a 30x and a 40x on hand.

The 10x handheld reading loupe magnifier has quality materials and construction. Relative to the other choices, this is a great value for the price. It is made with a heavy glass instead of plastic, which gives a much clearer view in my opinion. If I had my ideal, it would have a larger glass or reading area and it would be less cumbersome with perhaps a more narrow neck to hold it. I feel that this will probably last longer than I do. I do think I could have gotten by with less magnifying which would have solved much of the weight problem. The issues that I mentioned are just preferences that I have and nothing to do with the quality or misleading advertising. The other similar or competing magnifiers were much more expensive. If the user is elderly with painful hand arthritis,  a lighter weight, larger glass area, may be a better choice. This would make a lovely gift for the right person because it is attractive and not just utilitarian, and looks more expensive than it is.

I've been looking for a magnifying light like this for some time. I spent a number of hours reading reviews, and was going to go with a different unit, until I saw the many negative reviews it got. And I was pretty sure it was a good unit (but that was when I worked for a company, before they were made in China like so much other stuff).  So when I saw the reviews of this unit, even though it was $30 more than what I was going to buy, I decided to buy it. And now that I've had it for a few days now, and have had a chance to work with it, I have to say there is a lot I like about the product.

I very nearly gave it 5 stars, but there was only one reason I didn't. The optics.  The magnifying 'glass' (plastic, I believe), is pretty good - it works, and it magnifies fairly strongly.  The problem is that the magnification area isn't as large as the entire 'glass', and it's a little foggy in places (and I can;t buff that out).  I LOVE the lens cover, and the lighting is excellent.  But the lens should be a little better, especially for $100.

The adjustable mount works just fine; the clamp fit my table perfectly, and holds the light without worry that it could fall off. The reach and flexibility of the arm is decent, and provides enough adjustability to put the light into almost any viewing position.  So while it was manufactured in China, and one expects some manufacturing defects, I was pleasantly surprised that the unit is extremely well-made.  If the lens was just made a little better, this would be the best lamp in its class. As it is, it still may be, and I bet some units probably DO have a lens without the imperfections in my unit,  so those customers will be extremely satisfied.  As it is, I'm still satisfied, and it's close enough to work for my needs.

Additional note:  The lamp arrived VERY quickly (within a few days from my order, and shipping costs were QUITE reasonable), so I'd do business with this vendor again ANY time.

The product can magnify small print without distortion upto 1 : 6 linear expansion. I am not sure how they get X10 or X20 measurement. For the price, it is good enough.

I have a small arsenal of magnifiers so over time have discovered what works and what doesn't. This magnifier does have some distortion at the edge of the viewing area but nothing that the eye doesn't easily accept. I would never expect a five-dollar glass to have perfect optics.

The magnifier claims to have 3X magnification and it is at least that. The 'glass' (well, acrylic) is nice and clear and should stay that way because it can be rotated right back into its black plastic case. Because the case is flat and just over 2" square, it is easy to grasp - some of my other ones are not. I will probably put some bright colored tape on it because black tends to visually disappear which can lead to loss. The way the case is constructed, I have been able to loop some thin string through so that I can hang it right where I want it by my workstation. These characteristics make this eminently useful.

This is about a 2X magnifier, not a 4X magnifier. Its focal length is about 5 inches, and for a simple lens, the focal length in inches divided into 10 gives the magnification. In metric, the focal length in cm times divided into 25 gives the magnification. If you need 2X or a bit less magnification, this lens may work fine for you.

These are the best magnifier I have ever used.
I gave one to my husband and he even remarked how much better it worked at reading the small print on dvd boxes & other items compared to a traditional magnifying glass.
I keep one in my purse for when Im out shopping & I keep one on the kitchen counter.
And with the six pack, I have a few extras in case I loose one or decide I want to keep one in another area.
Highly recommend.
These are a very convenient size to carry in a purse or wallet, but I wish they had a larger size for using around the house.

Nice compact acrylic magnifying glass with GOOD 6x magnification (in soft case); arrived just as described.  Other items were reviewed as having only 2x magnification.  Glad I ordered this one with 6x.
