SKU CH-CJD4-QVBMG

  • Hands-free viewing with fold-down stand
  • 5x magnification for reading small text
  • 5x spot lens reveals fine details
  • Built-in LED light works in low light
  • 5 inch crystal-clear acrylic lens gives distortion-free view

Hands-Free Magnification

The Carson FH-25 is a 3.5 inch hands-free magnifier designed for hobbyists and professionals who need both hands available for detailed inspection work. It offers 2.5x primary magnification with an integrated 5x spot lens for examining fine details. The crystal clear acrylic lens provides a sharp, distortion-free view. Its folding design allows quick switching between handheld and hands-free operation.

Built-In Illumination

A built-in LED light enables clear viewing in low-light conditions without requiring an external lamp. The light is integrated into the frame to illuminate the viewing area directly. This feature supports extended use in workshops, laboratories, or home environments where ambient lighting is insufficient. The optical acrylic construction maintains clarity while the light is active.

Upgrade From Basic Magnifiers

This unit replaces simple handheld reading glasses or non-illuminated magnifiers that require one hand to hold. The jump is worth it for users who perform sustained tasks like model building, electronics repair, or needlework where hands-free stability and integrated lighting improve accuracy. It is not suited for buyers who need higher magnification levels or a larger viewing lens diameter.

Questions about this item

How do I switch between hand-held and hands-free use on the FH-25?

Fold the handle back until it locks to form a stable base; the lens then sits at a fixed angle above the work surface.

What maintenance does the LED light on this magnifier require?

The LED is not user-replaceable; when it dims the entire unit must be replaced.

At what magnification does edge distortion become noticeable during long reading sessions?

The 5x spot lens shows curvature at the edges sooner than the 2.5x main lens.
