Compact reading magnifier / stand magnifier combined

Summary Ingenious design. Decent-size lens yet it folds down to fit comfortably in the hand – because the handle folds across the lens. Open the handle fully and it’s a handheld magnifier. Bend the lens downwards and it balances perfectly as a stand magnifier. Bright light operated by three AAA-size batteries (remarkable technology, batteries – you don’t have to find a USB power-source to charge it).
