Headband style magnafier


Recommended Posts

I'm wanting to get a headband style magnifier and I see that many people here have recommended the OptiVisor. Personally I don't want to loose my peripheral vision while using it. I would prefer something like what Chuck is using in "Chucks planking videos". Do you know what brand that visor is?

 

Thanks

Dan,

I am using the same type of magnifier as Chuck,

comes with four different lenses, and I think I got them MicroMark some years ago.

Haven't seen them on the market lately.

There is no name on mine. But it's patented, inside it reads "Do Not Copy - Or Be Sued" good statement.

 

Edit: Just found what you are looking for, the price seems to be in the right range too.

Good luck!

Dan,

I wanted the same thing--a magnifier that didn't hide my peripheral vision. I settled on the Carson Pro. You can find it on the Internet. I think mine came from that Amazon place.

Just realize that no matter what set you choose, you will still have tunnel vision. It is just optics. You. Ight see ligght from your peripheral, but it will not be in focus.

I also had been looking for a new magnifier light, I'm using my woodworking bench for ship model building and it wasn't equipped in some way for modeling like this, and I wanted to leave my other magnifier light over my metal lathe as it's very helpful there. I looked at ones up to $350, and although I'm sure the $350 one was superb, this one seems to have very nearly as much bang for 1/3 price.

 

It just arrived today, will report back on it.
