Digital beam scale?

[Texas Solo]

Does anyone make a digital readout beam scale? I like beam scales, but my eyesight is too poor to accurately read them.

At 84, I’m experiencing the same difficulty. I now use a lighted, hand-held magnifying glass and am very satisfied with the results.

I have to do the same. But it's a PITA.

When I used to use a beam scale, I'd point a web cam at the scale's pointer. That not only made it easier to read for my degraded eye sight, but it also helped with parallax to get consistent reading easily.

Couple of tricks folks have pulled and made videos to show them...
You will get the idea.

I do something similar to the cell phone setup, but use a 10" or so cheapo tablet in the camera mode wedged into a business card holder or something similar with a box of 223 ammo as a weight to keep it from moving. I use a 505 scale, and the tablet makes it easy to see the zero mark.

This is what I do.

I can count the rings of Saturn but can't read a pill bottle.

Paid $15 for the phone tripod. Clamps to the table. Works.
