I tend to view these mobile phone lens adapters as gimmicky plasticy junk that just sits in a drawer somewhere after being used exactly once... 9 times out of 10 that is the case. Not this time! This cool device essentially turns your phone camera into a digital microscope. The addition of a ring light around the lens is crucial here and the execution is well thought out. The ring light enables your subject to be in full light even when the lens is literally sitting on top of the object you are viewing. I used a piece of cloth as an example. The first image is at the standard 1x from my Pixel 8 Pro. The second image is using the same 1x camera on my phone but with this 150x lens adapter in front of it. The results are insane and totally unexpected! I can't wait to try this lens out on more objects around my home. Highly impressed! 5/5

This product was sent to me for review, as part of Amazon Vine. The below is my own real-world experience of using it.

I was drawn to it, because I occasionally like to shoot wildlife videos with my iPhone 15 Pro Max, and thought that the filter would be most helpful during very sunny days.

The kit is comprehensive - you are getting the magnetic filter attachment, the filter, a cleaning cloth and an exceptionally good-quality case to store everything inside. This itself is compact, so would easily fit inside a small bag.

I have mixed feelings about some of the components - the main filter attachment is robust, but doesn't fit well over a case. The one I use is not the thickest, but it was enough to impede the attachment from lining up properly with my phone's lenses. I also don't like the screw clamp - the idea of putting pressure on my phone's screen makes me uncomfortable, especially because you can tighten the screw quite a bit. The magnet works fairly well to hold the filter, though it didn't seem like it had the strongest of holds, so I am unsure for how long the filter could reasonably be held in place, particularly if you are moving around a lot in the field.

Despite the above, the filter itself does make a difference in harsh light, though I would recommend checking some settings first - I didn't realise that my flash was set to 'auto', so it fired underneath the filter, and washed my first attempt at a picture out (the flash is obscured underneath the filter, so the light is bounced back).

Overall, it is a nice kit, but could be improved.

As a wedding photographer these small compact bag holds it all from camera flash keys and light accessories I love this bag

This light was a great addition to my GoPro since they dont have a flash built in or night mode. The light has some really fun settings to add effects to your video and pictures.

Have been using this tripod now for about a month now for my mobile photography. The tripod is super light and easy to carry around with bag provided. Set-up is straight forward and easy to use. Mobile phone mount provided is very sturdy and with the ball-head I can quickly set up the shot I want. Well worth the purchase. No complaints so far with the tripod.

This is probably the best portable light I have ever had.It can be used on a table, as a lamp, or turn the light head around and use it as a flash light, or extend the head up and make a room light for a tent or small area.The different brightness levels, and light frequency selection make this a super versatile lamp.It is made even better by the tripod legs that slide down and open up, and are also magnetic, so you can use it for working under your car hood too.This really is a great, versatile light.I only wish I had more than one of them now.

Delivery was the same day, packaging was neat. the small "Gift" the flash attachment just came in handy. To the lens. very light plastic housing, sits very tightly on the camera, has small problems here and there that the contacts are all properly seated. The AF motor is audible but not noticeable from a distance of about 1m. The AF could be a bit faster if you want to capture movement, but for products or portraits where speed is not important, it works well, even in low light. In the studio with lots of light, it is certainly an inexpensive alternative to one of the top dogs, outdoor for the hobby photographer with a small budget an absolute recommendation. For this price, an absolute top lens. My sample image: reduced to 1200*800px Nikon D750 ( ISO320 - f/2.8 - 1/250sec. - Daylight with small flash from the side, base plate and background each a black pane of glass. )

Since my English is better, please excuse not writing in German. Situation: I bought a new 60D body, needed a lens to learn and grow with. This lens was my one and only lens and I have only on board flash light. How I feel: This is the best lens for me even tho I just bought a new 28-135 USM IS from Canon. It is quite, quick and light. It makes really great photo with soft backgrounds. I can point to where I want and take pictures with ease. Why Canon: The winner is Canon, because the price is very good compare to other lens companies. It is light and fast, it is also a very bright and sharp lens. Why 50mm: It is a lot of work to learn how to use the computer and the rest of the setting. Like me who is a beginner with DSLR needed something simple. 50mm is a standard for full frame and with 60D it acts as a 80mm. Which is good for almost everything except indoor close range. It works great with photo merge in photoshop. It works great with point and shoot. Why F/1.4: As mentioned before, I only have on board flash. I am not saying it is bad, because there are so much to learn about how to use a flash. However, I do like my photos better without flash. In which, F/1.4 allows a lots of light in, this means brighter photo with quicker shutter speed or lower ISO. Everything above F2.8 is sharp. I love photos with soft background and this lens is the best :) Why USM: Quick, quite! I don't think I have to say more. Yes it is very tight on small room, but hey, this is what we know before. 80mm is technically 1.6x zoom. However, we can learn to life with it. If you are beginner like me, you will still have a small old camera to get wider angel, if you are a getting comfortable with DSLR, you will have a second set of lens. So I think this is a must to have :)
