I prefer to get closer to my work, like I could when I was a kid and my eyes would focus on the end of my nose!
Now, if I were digging around inside a live patient as a surgeon, I might not want to get quite so close <G>. Even though I like the ability to get close the Optivisor gives me, I heartily agree with Robert, VE3RPF. Prepare an article for QST. If you don't have that picture in high-res (10 megapixel or on film), take one. Look up actual sources for all the parts. Show exactly how to assemble it with more pictures or line drawings. Yes, doing an article is at least ten times the work of creating the device in the first place, but it's something your fellow Hams will appreciate (and QST will pay you a nominal fee to do if they accept your work). Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Or you can build one :O) I built this little gadget about a year ago. I use it for close work. I modified a pair of $10 binoculars. I can either use it with head gear or on a stand. It has 8X magnifications making objects large and crystal clear. I mainly use this for SMD devices but could be used with regular soldering as well. Have a look. http://images.andale.com/f2/115/123/10264406/1141407954181_DSCN4778_edited.J PG I should really write a QST article but not sure if this is the kinda stuff QST wants.
