5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant magnification, brilliantly executed
Too early yet to give it 5 stars, so call it 4 stars with a bullet. This is a very elegant tool. I bought it to use with my compact edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (you know--the ones the Book of the Month Club used to hand out for a pittance to induce people to join up). The magnifier is perfect for that-- it covers the width of an entire column, although even with the 5x magnification the OED print is none-too-large. The light is an even beautiful white, perfect for reading, with no hot spots. It couldn't be easier to operate--just activate a small switch in the interior--then just press down on the silver ring to activate the light. The light stays on until you press the ring again. No need to turn the interior switch off--it seems to be there only if you want to make sure the light can't be accidentally activated. The magnifier is hefty and solid. It feels good in the hand as it glides smoothly over the paper. And--did I say this--it's quite elegant. It comes with a very nice semi-hard shell carrying case and a polishing cloth. All in all, it seems as though the people at Satechi knew what they were doing when they developed this gem. Time will tell whether the obvious craftsmanship holds--I'm betting that it will.UPDATE: After using the device for awhile, I have changed my rating from four to five stars. It has performed flawlessly over and over, and it still serves my needs perfectly. It is a pleasure to look at, to hold, and to use. I like it so much, in fact, that I bought a second--this one to use at work.
5.0 out of 5 stars Stop Searching- This is the One You Want
Looking for the best magnifier to use with maps... and maybe for the FAA Part 107 exam? Then look no further, this is the one to get. It comes with a super-nice case that is semi-rigid and has a buttery smooth zipper. It includes a microfiber cloth and the batteries (two CR2016) installed. You simply remove the plastic insulator tab from the battery compartment and click the internal switch to ON and it's ready to go. The lens is large and measures 2-3/4 inches in diameter. The construction of the magnifier is anodized aluminum and is fairly light for the size-- that makes it easy to use but it's still heavy enough to hold your book open as a paper weight, if needed. To activate the light you then push down on the finely milled silver ring and you get a perfect illumination of the surface beneath the magnifier. No shadows and no hot spots. To turn the light off you simply push down again on the silver ring. The clarity of the optic is excellent and more than adequate for reading purposes. Most everything is in clear focus and it's big and easy to see! I tried the basic "dome" style acrylic magnifiers but without perfectly placed lighting they are dark and not usable. This one is probably the best of the illuminated ones available. Your search is over-- get this one. You will be glad you did.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Magnified!
This is a high quality magnifier. Its lens is sharp. Lighting is even and just the right brightness. The on/off switches are smooth and precise. It's well made. The lens is at the right distance above a page for perfect focus, but it still works well handheld when needed.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product, excellent customer service
This magnifier is simply and elegantly designed, and makes clear and bright what was formerly illegible. It is very sturdy, but can come apart if dropped from a sufficient height onto a hard floor. This happened to mine. The lens was not damaged, but unfortunately the person who dropped it popped the retaining ring back in without the lens. I couldn't then figure out how to remove the ring without damage in order to install the lens. When I asked Satechi customer support for advice, they determined that my magnifier was still under warranty and quickly sent me a new one without charge. I could not be happier.
4.0 out of 5 stars Easy, convenient, useful
So far after one day of use, I really like it better than loupes. Very intuitive. Lights are very bright and easy to turn off and on by pressing down on the silver rim and then switching off completely with the switch underneath. It doesn’t flip text/image upside down when looking through the glass lens. Comes with a nice case. Plenty of space to place overtop of items. It does require two watch batteries though, not sure how frequently they will need to be changed. Only thing I am wondering is if 8x or 10x magnification would be better. Looking forward to using it more.
5.0 out of 5 stars I can see!!
This magnifier works well. Plus, turn on the switch and push down on the lens and the LED light turns on - very nice in helping to make small print easier to see. I also like the travel case & cleaning cloth it comes with. My only concern is remembering to turn off the light switch when packing it in the case for travel. If the switch is left on, the LED light could inadvertently turn on and kill the battery.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic tool for Aviation Charts
I bought this explicitly for taking my Part 107 FAA exam and it made reading the ragged out chart supplement booklet MUCH easier. I was worried it would not be allowed in the testing facility, but the proctor had no issues so YMMV if you try the same. Very happy with this and will probably keep using it with aviation charts as the aperture and lighting is perfect.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice desktop magnifier
This magnifier is excellent for use at a desk or similar setting. Three L.E.D's evenly spaced give an even light, that doesn't cause glare, on majority of surfaces. Those lights toggle on/off by pushing down on the metal ring surrounding the magnifier. It's a fair price for a well constructed magnifier.Keep in mind this is set focus. It is meant to be used over/surrounding what is being magnified while on a table/counter/bench/Blueprint drawing layout top. You can use it handheld but you'd be better off purchasing a traditional handheld magnifier for that kind of use.The only thing I might add is a felt ring around the bottom. The cylindrical housing is aluminum (appears to be), and could scratch delicate surfaces. That said, the bottom is highly polished with no sharp edges, so no concerns as of yet. For example, I might be hesitant to slide it across a glass top repeatedly.
