I bought new headmount magnifying device to protect my eyes. The experience is quite dissapointed. I felt that the lens will end my eyes...

After some freewheeling brainstorming, I picked up old cellphone stand that a girl used at internet class last year.

This is my iPhone 12 Mini with 26mm standard lens.

and maximum. ;) Nice and clear digital loupes! Additional cost $0 ! Also, I got $1 billion by saving my eyes!

The distance between an object and smartphone is more than 15cm. I'll buy polyarticular cellphone stand to save more space for handwork. :)

This seems to work great for you.  You will be happy with less eye issues.

 

I advise anybody buying the Optivisor type magnifiers or any other type of magnifiers to not waste money on plastic lenses.  Go for the real glass lenses and you will not believe the difference from the plastic - I used plastic lenses in an Optivisor set (they make plastic and glass lenses) for 20 years before my ophthalmologist told me to throw away the plastic stuff and get glass lenses - it was like a different world when I got the glass set.

I found critical issue for the digital loupes. The smartphone uses single lens and single screen, so I can't feel a sense of distance. 😭 (I used iPhone's default magnifying tool.)

On the contrary, the DA-5 works pretty well and simple. It breaks my eyes due to too narrow focal length, but acceptable for an instant. 

 

To make eyes comfortable and improve modelling work, I may need VR headset with 3D-two lens cam or AR glasses. It is way out of this topic, so I won't continue it. I would say that this digital loupes is still great tool for inspection after assembly. It works clearly and doesn't break your eyes. ;)
