    I bought one of these for a family member after seeing this video. He likes it and can now read things he couldn't read before. Non-digital magnifying devices were not enough, and I was hesitant about buying a digital magnifier that had poor magnification. The Clover 6 works very well for him. I received excellent support from Palmer Vision, from whom I bought the device, after I asked them a question about shipping. Much thanks to The Blind Life, Palmer Vision, and of course the manufacturer.

    That’s fantastic! I’m not sure about battery life, I would assume between two and four hours continuous use. If you want to get an exact number though, I would recommend reaching out to one of the distributors. They would definitely know how long it is.

    Hi Sam, My main issue with this device is the same as with most other devices. Ask a permanently disable person with no job, and a fixed income from the state of California, I am very limited on the amount of money that I can spend. If we had a device like this That was much less expensive, but more functional, that would be REALLY GIID :!

    Have you worked with your state vocational resources? Also there are several nonprofits that work with manufacturers and vendors of these types of products. There are also some low interest credit options available that you may not be aware of. If you would like to discuss please feel free to contact us we will help you anyway we can possibly do so.

I don't know why I had seen the Eschenbach Visolux Digital HD on Amazon, but I didn't see you do a review of this brand. Do you recommend them? I still see that there are many very good options. Thank you!

    I like this but I will have to say that it would be nice if there were a few additional features for this device? * It would be nice if you could connect this device wirelessly to your computer or your TV etc and use it as a CCTV? * It would be nice if you could not only blank out the different color filters but download different ones that would help you and if you at the same time could create your own custom color filter this would be so helpful? * If this device could connect to AI such as Seeing AI etc / Be My Eyes / Aira services this would be a helpful feature? * It would be nice if there was an option for either a lanyard or wrist carrying strap feature not only for the case but the device itself? * OUCH the Price is way too high??? I like this device but the price is very high and 50.00 dollars is a high chunk of my very low income that I barely get.

    A all possible that it is extremelyll these devices for people with sight loss are absolutely fantastic but unfortunately for me they are very much out of my price range I cannot possibly pay 595 British pounds for this device. I personally use my large ipad and I managed to pick up a used Optelec Clearview +it is not at all portable but it is extremely useful. For everyday use if I am out and about I use my phone with the Envision AI app and I am now all set, I couldn't possibly afford to pay for these items as I was medically retired due to my very limited vision at the tender age of 52

    Hi there. I am so sorry for your vision loss at your age. It isn't fair. My dad is 78 and was diagnosed with macular degeneration 3 years ago. I love my dad dearly and have searched tirelessly for low vision optics that may help him at least read his beloved newspaper again! I read in your comment you purchased the Optelec Clearview+. May I ask your personal opinion on that one? I have researched it a little and thought of getting one, but then I ran across a video review of it on YT and the person was throwing off on it...to each their own but just thought I would get your opinion please. Thank you so much and have a blessed day.

    It seems to have a boatload of features I wouldn't have expected in a hand-held magnifier. (I guess I'm just behind the times.) It makes me wonder, though, how often you have to recharge the battery. Also how long before the battery dies for good and has to be replaced. If I thought this kind of device were worth $800 to me (which I currently don't), those are some questions I'd try to remember to ask the salesman.

    I bought a looks 6 a few months ago for over $700 , too expensive for this device, it has a very short battery life for one thing it won’t last through the day with me just using it interesting ly , I spend a lot of time waiting for it to focus with or with out auto focus. I have a smaller much older much cheaper one I find my self using in place of looks 6 , it’s always focused and the battery last a long time . I have AMD and depend on magnifiers .
