Scribble Name Magnifyer

[rtcook]

Here's some scribble name magnifyers I made from info I found on here. I used 2X power 1" bar magnifier stock and cut to 2" long. Added 1/4" roll magnetic strips and polished the ends. They stick firmly to the FC. Might not be for everyone, but they help me out.

Looks fantastic. Those need to be made and sold by someone

 

[Don Watters]

Cool. Now what happens if you put a bigger magnifier on top of a magnifier?

 

[lqdsnddist]

Brilliant idea

I find I can read mine okay but they are about as small as I’d want. This could be really helpful for a bunch of people

@rtcook nice! What a great hack!

 

[bishop5150]

Very cool! I might need those in a few more years.

Looks great. Nice work.

Wow, this is exciting! I have to wear my glasses to see the text even when sitting down right next to my FC. Not the FC's fault, just my eyesight.

 

[chucma]

This is brilliant Roger! Do you know what strength magnification the bar magnifier was? i.e. 2x, 4x etc.

 

[rtcook]

2X bar magnifier.

@ZenRigs Man is that someone, if we manage to convince him it's a good idea.

It worked once.

Very cool. I wonder if it would be easier to just have one long strip over the whole FC?

I’ve experimented with these in the past. The other niggle is that you have to be right above them, otherwise viewing at angles can result in distortion, and light bouncing off them (eg stage/outdoor) could result in glare.

I think he said on another thread (rhyme alert) that these only work well if you're looking straight down onto them.

Yeah. He was also saying that he wouldn’t do the mega surrounds because they wouldn’t work, would be too expensive etc.

He changed his mind eventually, after we applied some steady pressure.

Cheaters for feeters.....

Let me on the waitlist for these....!

Hey, you seem to be developing an addiction. Careful with that!

I still have panic attacks over that...
