Pro Series MagniVisor Deluxe Head-Worn LED Lighted Magnifier with 4 Different Lenses (1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x) (CP-60)

My wife likes to cross-stitch. It is a hobby that requires a lot of close up work, and the lighting in our living room where she likes to sew is not ideal for this. So, I ordered this magnifier head lamp visor for her. The visor is nicely boxed. Included with the visor are the removable head lamp, a plastic cover for when the lamp is not used, a plastic box containing four hinged lenses, and an instruction sheet. For the most part, the visor is intuitive to use. The head lamp easily pulls up out of the visor, which you have to do to install the needed three AAA batteries (not included). Alkaline batteries are recommended, and they are estimated to provide about 50 hours of light before needed replacement. When it is positioned on the visor, the light from the headlamp can be adjusted directionally so it illuminates exactly where you want the light. The lamp has three LEDs in it, and they provide plenty of light. The head band is easy to adjust for proper fit. It is designed so the entire visor can be lifted upward without removing the head band. Installing and removing the lenses is a bit challenging. I had to use a lot of force to get the lens to pop into its proper place, and it took a lot of force to get it back out, so much that I feared I would break it. After removing the first lens, popping in the second one was significantly easier, so it’s possible that this improves with usage. The lenses each have two small hinges that can easily break if the lenses are not removed correctly. There are warnings in the instruction sheet and also on the box of lenses to pull them out of the visor at an angle, one edge at a time, or the hinges can break. Once it is properly installed, the lens can be lifted upward when needed without removing the visor. After getting everything set up, my wife quickly started using the visor for her cross-stitch project. She absolutely loves it. She says the lighting is perfect, as is the magnification. She says the visor is comfortable to wear. Overall, this is an excellent lighted magnifying visor. It is versatile and easy to use. It is a little pricey when compared with other brands, but I think the build quality is excellent and worth its price. This would be ideal for anyone who does close up work either professionally or for a hobby. It would also be handy for those who need magnification for reading.

With carrier issues all season long, I'd glad this came as expected! FIT: I have cap size of 7 to 7.5 (New Era standards) and these fit perfect. I still have about 4 notches before the end of the belt that is easily adjustable even when worn. This is a comfortable visor to wear for a long amount of time. Also fits fin with my John Raymond Loft glasses on. :) The glasses are nice and slim, but proportionally for large (fat) heads. COMFORT: As mentioned, these are quite light and comfy, even with the AAA batteries installed. I use them in cold atmosphere. My workshop has a ceiling fan on max, and a circulation fan on the floor on max, as well. Usually, the AC is running in the living room, so my work area is almost always comfortably cool. My point being, I don't have issues wearing this for a long time. It's plastic all around, so it may help your forehead sweat, but no big deal. I take frequent breaks anyway. FEATURES: The lenses are great. I use this visor for hobby for the most part. (My wife plans to paint her nails with these on her next need). I prefer using the 1.5x or 2.0x which is perfect for what I need. I find that I pull the item too close when using the higher magnification lenses. For the most part, though, you will have to pull what you're working on about 6 inches close to you. At least, that's me. I may have a messed up focal point anyhow. Lights are a nice touch. Too bad they don't come with a set of batteries off the bat, but not an issue as I have a box of essential batteries handy. Some reviewers think the light is too dim, but these aren't made to be the ONLY light source (but can be). Also, the light is meant for up close applications. So, the focus item needs to be within range and since you will be wearing the light on the visor, the same distance applies for greatest illumination: about 6-12 inches. I've been comfortable with the amount of light I receive from this without a hitch. In fact, it's so bright when used properly, that I can see all the paint flaws on a mini I'm working on or purchased. Definitely a repurchase when I wear this one out or when an upgrade comes out. I'm definitely working towards getting surgical loupes cos I like fancy stuff, but that's when I can afford farting $300 as if I was lactose intolerant.

I bought these for working with very small parts when building scale models. Pros: 1. The magnifying glasses, despite being made from plastic, are very high quality. The image is clear, and the size of the lenses are larger than similar products so you get a very nice view. 2. The entire headband is very lightweight. 3. I have a separate light on my workbench so I don't use the integrated light in the headband, I like that it can be easily removed to make it even more lightweight. Cons: 1. This is my main complaint: the head band is extremely uncomfortable. "Extremely" is not an exaggeration. The latch is only adjustable at quite wide intervals so it's either slightly loose or squeezing on your forehead. The "cushion", if it can be called that, is a piece of hard plastic that provides no cushioning. Worse yet, since it's smooth plastic, your forehead gets sweaty within minutes of wearing it, and the headband starts slipping! I'm actually amazed that they shipped the product with such poor designs. 2. Besides the comfort issue, it's mostly a fine product. I'd liked if they included a carrying or organizing case of some kind. Also the case for the lenses are quite cheap, there's no latch or hinge to the lid so it comes loose easily. Overall: Terrible comfort, but if you spend a bit of effort and put in some padding yourself, these are actually very good for what they are supposed to do. I'm giving it 4 stars because the competitors are not much better in comfort and worse in image quality.

assez confortable, bonne qualité optique pour travailler sur des PCB. Rien a dire.

Carson makes good quality optical products, and this one is not an exception. It's not too expensive, either. The headband has a wide range of adjustment and fits my head well. There are 4 sets of good quality lenses in different magnification levels (1.5x, 2x, 2.5x and 3x). I bought the MagniVisor mostly for soldering, or some other tinkering with small parts. For these purposes the 1.5x and 2x lenses are the most useful. With the 1.5x lens, you can clearly see objects at an arm's length. So you can work on things on your workbench the way you normally do. In many cases, 1.5x magnification is all the help I need. With the 2x lens, you have to get a bit closer to your work to get it into focus - lean over the workbench, use a high workbench or a low chair. With the 2.5x and 3x, the usable focus range is a short distance in front of your eyes, it can be good for inspecting something that you can hold in your hands and bring close to your face. I think it wouldn't be very convenient to solder with these lenses. Note these limitations are inherent in this types of optics, they are not a flaw of the product or sign of bad quality. Every such magnifier will be like that. You just have to be aware of it and don't expect being able to use the higher magnification at an arm's length. This is why for serious SMD soldering (when going down to the smaller sizes) people buy a soldering microscope. When taking a break, the magnifier flips up out of sight, and stays there (tension is adjustable, I had to tighten the nuts quite a bit to prevent it from falling down under it's weight). The LED light is surprisingly bright and useful, it also has a clever hinge with a good range of adjustment. It also doesn't lose position as you move around.

Fijne loep bril. Goed verstelbaar. Goed zicht en met meerdere verwisselbare glazen. Daarnaast ook nog een LED lampje. Doet alles wat het moet doen. Goede kwaliteit.

Great product, I use it for diamond painting, i don't have to look through a magnifier lamp anymore, goodbye sore neck. Very comfortable fit, great idea having a detachable light. Absolutely love this product.
