A handheld electronic magnifier for providing a magnified representation of an object, the handheld electronic magnifier comprising:

• a casing having a camera face and an opposed display face;
• a camera provided inside the casing and having a field of view extending from the camera face, the camera being configured to acquire an image of the object within the field of view;
• a display extending along the display face and configured to display the magnified representation of the object based on the image acquired by the camera;
• a handle;
• and
• a two-axis hinge assembly rotatably connecting the casing and the handle about a first hinge axis and a second hinge axis perpendicular to each other and extending respectively along a length of the casing and a width of the handle, the two-axis hinge assembly comprising:
• a longitudinal hinge member extending along the first hinge axis and rotatably connected to the casing to enable rotation of the handle about the first hinge axis toward and away from the camera face;
• and
• a transverse hinge member extending along the second hinge axis and rigidly fixed to the longitudinal hinge member, the transverse hinge member being rotatably connected to the handle to enable rotation of the handle about the second hinge axis.
