The MagniLink Zip Premium Full HD 17″ desktop magnifier is at the forefront of modern technology and a winner of the prestigious Red Dot Design Award.  It was developed to be easy to use, light in weight, and with small dimensions when folded down.  LVI products are built in a modular style which means there are many models to choose from in order to fit the requirements of each user. This model is equipped with a Full Hi-Definition monitor and reading/distance camera.

Uncompromising true-color image quality is ever-present and the MagniLink Zip Premium Full HD 17 desktop video magnifier is intuitive and user-friendly. The control panel was designed according to the highest technology standards and with client feedback in mind.  It’s easy to find, learn, and maneuver – for example, the function knobs rotate and are simple to handle, easily seen, and there is an advanced mode for advanced users.

The 17-inch monitor has brightly colored screen edges, an anti-glare surface, provides crystal-clear sharpness, high contrast images, and a dimmer mode for light-sensitive users. The screen can be adjusted by tilting it forward, backward, and for height and producing images in Full Hi-Definition (1080p).  This is the most portable model with a low-vision adapted screen and a Full Hi-Definition reading/distance camera that rotates both vertically and horizontally.

To ensure easy portability, the X/Y table has been excluded thereby making the video magnifier effortless to carry to different locations, as well as easy to fold and unfold.  Its weight is less than 9 pounds and a protective, soft-shelled, zippered carrying case is included.

For convenience, a battery with a running time of 5 to 9 hours is included. The amount of runtime depends on the light intensity chosen for the screen and lamp.

The MagniLink Zip Premium 17″ Full HD Desktop Magnifier is an ideal choice for users who need to transport a magnifying system on a regular basis to school or work.  It’s also suitable for users that want a sleek system at home – one that can be folded down and put away easily when not in use.

Frequently Asked Questions: 

1. Why would someone want to connect the MagniLink Zip to Chromebook/PC/Mac? What is the primary benefit?

Maybe you received the MagniLink Zip in 3rd grade and in 5th you are starting to use Chromebooks, no problem MagniLink Zip will perform just like the MLS when connected. Of course, it needs a connection board and software licenses.

2. What happens to the MagniLink Zip display if I was to connect to a Chromebook/PC/Mac?  Will I have 2 displays, one on the MagniLink Zip and the other on their Chromebook/PC/Mac?

I can hook my zip to my laptop and perform OCR, distance, take video, and then go back to the MagniLink Zip and use it as a stand-alone product. When connected the monitor on the zip goes dark and that is the same if you hook it to a large monitor/TV.

The connection board, the battery, and integrated XY are all accessories that must be added at the time of purchase. The only thing you can add to a zip is the removable XY table.

Another nice thing is if you have a connection board 2 years later you can purchase the software licenses needed to do magnification and OCR.
