#734 Optivisor

Trying a new Optivisor for close-up work.

Notes

I’ve previously used magnifying glasses from a seller on aliexpress. These are convenient, but I don’t find them comfortable for extended use.

I decided to try an optivisor with headband to see if these were more comfortable. I found a good deal from a seller on shopee.sg

So far:

  • yes, they are more comfortable
  • but perhaps not as convenient as the glasses

I can see myself continuing to use both, switching between them depending on the task.

About LEAP

LEAP is my personal collection of electronics projects - usually involving an Arduino or other microprocessor in one way or another. Some are full-blown projects, while many are trivial breadboard experiments, intended to learn and explore something interesting.

Projects are often inspired by things found wild on the net, or ideas from the many great electronics podcasts and YouTube channels. Feel free to borrow liberally, and if you spot any issues do let me know or send a pull-request.

NOTE: For a while I included various scale modelling projects here too, but I've now split them off into a new repository: check out LittleModelArt if you are looking for these projects.
