The Amigo portable desktop magnifier is one of the latest video magnifiers on the market in the UK. It has several features that make it a useful addition to the market. Firstly, it is very slim and light to carry (just over 2cm thick and around 750g weight), so easily carried in a bag or, as I can testify, an outside jacket pocket. The unit uses a rechargeable battery, offering up to one and a half hours' continual use (though spot task usage obviously allows much longer), but the unit is supplied with a spare and a charger so that the patient should always have a power supply.
