The first hand-held portable video magnifier offering superior images in High Definition.

 

 Experience a revolutionary breakthrough in electronic hand-held low vision technology with the Optelec Compact 5 HD portable video magnifier.

In High Definition, you can now read from glossy magazines, letters, displays and price tags in two different ergonomic reading positions.

Lightweight, always in focus and easy to use, the Compact 5 HD is the first true replacement of the traditional optical magnifier that will grow with your needs featuring the lowest and widest magnification range from 1.5 to 18 times zoom.

 







Ergonomic Design

Use the Optelec Compact 5 HD in two ergonomic positions. Open the Compact 5 HD for a perfect reading angle and move smoothly across newspapers and magazines (pictured below left). Alternatively, close the Compact 5 HD (pictured below right) for use on-the-go, spot reading and distance viewing (up to 4 feet).


Rest the Compact 5 HD and read easily when the screen is in the tilting position or hold it and read in the closed position.


 

Small, Lightweight and Easy to Use

The Compact 5 HD is small and light enough to fit in your pocket or purse and features a 5-inch widescreen. The buttons are easy to see and operate. To meet your specific needs, each Compact 5 HD setting can be customized and saved using the special large icon menu as illustrated (below right).
