I'm looking to solder 3 LME49990 SOICs to a DIP-8 adapter.
I already have the soldering gun station.
What do you guys use the hold the SOIC op-amp to the DIP-8 adapter while soldering them?
Magnifier station?

I show how to do it in Tangent Tutorial 3.
 
I don't find it necessary to use magnification for this. I suppose if you're the sort that needs reading glasses, those would work fine for this, too.

A good pair of tweezers is nice to have.

Ended up downloading about 5 of the videos, thanks.

I learned how to solder SMD by watching Tangent's videos.
