Magnifying Glasses - Handheld or Flexible Arm Stand - Professional Quality

Today we are happy to announce the launch of our new line of magnifying glasses.  We now offer both hand held magnifying glasses and magnifying glasses with stands - choose your flexible arm and mounting base.  

 amp magnifying glass with stand - flexible gooseneck arm and round base

While we have offered flexible gooseneck arm magnifiers for many years, our new in-house design is a much improved tough, durable, professional-quality product designed and assembled in the USA. We offer these magnifying glasses with two grades of glass lenses - colorless or economy with a light green tint.  The clear lenses are available in magnifications of 3x, 8x, 10 and 15x and the economy lenses are available in 2.5x, 3x, 8x and 10x power.

Here is a comparison of the different lens powers:

Example of magnifying glass power

All of our glass lenses are 5" diameter, however the field of view is reduced to 4.6" due to the width of the glass fiber-reinforced nylon frame.  Each magnifier frame includes a 3/8"-24 threaded stud for attaching to either a flexible gooseneck arm, our proprietary Flexwire waterproof arm, or a black anodized aluminum handle.  The handle can be easily unscrewed for attaching the magnifier to a flexible arm stand.

Hands free hand held magnifying glass with glass lens

While our economy glass magnifying lenses have a light green tint, our colorless lenses do not.  We recommend our colorless lenses for applications where you need to see the true color of an object, such as when examining gemstones. Here is a comparison between our colorless and economy magnifying lenses:

We always like to point our that our products are the most versatile on the market - magnifying glasses included - because we offer so many flexible arm and mounting base options.  You can build your own magnifying glass stand by mounting a magnifying glass on one of our many flexible arms between 9" and 24" long; and choose from many of our mounting base options including our table clamp, megaclamp, plate mount, angle mount, round base, square base, magnet base and suction cup.

Here is a picture of the handle removed from the magnifying glass frame:

Now You Can Attach Your VESA Device to our Flexible Gooseneck Tubes

This VESA plate offers a 50, 75 and 100 mm VESA hole pattern and includes four #8-32 screws with lock nuts.  Also included are a 3/8" stainless steel screw, flat washers and a spring washer for attaching to SnakeClamp brand flexible gooseneck or rigid arms.  The spring washer arrangement keeps tension on the VESA plate which allows you to rotate it as desired.

Note that you can also attach devices WITHOUT a VESA hole pattern with commonly available VESA Universal Mount kits.

The VESA Mounting Plate is fabricated from sturdy 3/8" thick ABS plastic.

Custom-Made Flexible Gooseneck Arm Bedside Reading Lamps

A crafty customer recently sent us pictures of his custom bedside flexible arm reading lamps built with SnakeClamp components:

Custom bedside flexible arm reading lamps built with SnakeClamp components

 

While the lamp head is not ours, these were made with our Square Base, 12" Rigid Arm and 24" Flexible Gooseneck Arms. To allow for internal wiring our Lamp Nipples were also used.

Here is another view:

Note that our Square Base does not come with mounting holes (but our smaller Plate Mount does), so obviously if you want to build your own custom reading lamps you will need some basic metalworking skills!

These custom lamps just look awesome!  If you have pictures of your project built with SnakeClamp components please send them to support @ snakeclamp.com so that we can inspire others to build cool stuff.

A gaming customer discovered how well our Microphone SnakeClamp works to support his microphone in his awesome gaming setup:

Microphone SnakeClamp flexible gooseneck mount used in gaming setup

Shown here is our 18" Super-Duty flexible gooseneck arm attached to a desk with our Table Clamp.  The microphone is supported with our Microphone Clip attachment (which includes a threaded mic adapter).

In our customer's own words:

I’m using my snakeclamp for my microphone which I use while gaming. Previously I had a microphone arm that took up a large amount of desk space and was awkwardly placed. The snakeclamp is a massive improvement and feels very solid! Thanks for making a quality product, my pictures are attached.

Here's a close-up of the microphone in the microphone clip:

Microphone supported by mic clip attached to flexible gooseneck arm

In addition to the flexible gooseneck, the mic clip can also be tilted up and down.

Gaming has become very popular these days and if you want to be at the top of your game you will want a quality microphone stand.  What makes SnakeClamp unique is the many flexible gooseneck tube and mounting base options.  We likely have a solution to hold your microphone exactly where you need it.  Build your Microphone SnakeClamp here.
