I remember a recent thread someone mentioned Aldi selling something like this cheap. Just seen on Amazon, reduced to £2.65 with free super slow delivery. I've ordered one, not due to arrive till next week though.

Thought someone else here might be interested.

I have the Rolson one at work and a generic or 'maplin' version at home. The Rolson seems better quality and heavier and so more stable.Can still be frustrating though due to overbalancing / being pulled by weight of components and cables, and the magnifier isn't great optical quality. If you can attach it to a larger surface you'll likely find it more use due to greater stability.

It arrived Saturday, much quicker than Amazon estimate. Seems pretty good quality, reasonably stable base. I've taken the magnifier off, I think my reading glasses are good enough for anything I'll be doing.
