Optical Phone Camera Lens Kit, Hizek 12X Universal Optical Zoom Lens Manual Focus Telescope Camera Lens with Universal Clip for iPhone SE/7/7 Plus/6S Plus/6S, Samsung, iPad Mini, iPad Air, Air 2(12X)

This is a no-frills, basic, but ultimately decent enough 'telescopic' lens (forgive the inaccurate use of the terminology - I'm not a photographer), which will reward you if you are patient and persevere when attempting distance, or even long-range phone camera pics.Other reviewers commented on the 'jumpy' sight picture when using for distance shots and this was my experience when trying to snap a full moon back in the Summer; all I can offer is that you are getting what you pay for which is a simple, actually in a lot of senses, FUN, easy to use piece of non-digital, low-tech kit, so if you're looking to avoid the situation I've described or need something to address this, you need to consider whether this product is for you. Actually, I'd also suggest that if you can support yourself by leaning or by propping, or even your stance, and by exhaling when you snap, this might help with the 'wobble' for long-distance (believe it not, this came to me when recalling the 'sniper' sections in CoD 4: Modern Warfare).The device is actually quite a bit larger than I'd considered, and it will take you some time to affix it to your phone, longer if your phone is under a protective case - I'd suggest removing the case to use the device, but you have a 'risk' trade-off to manage - so if you're thinking that you can use this to snap or even film events as they emerge in front of you like an ET first contact, then you're definitely going to need to practise applying and removing the lens.

Clipping mechanism is not very good for iPhone 6 as camera lense on phone is very near edge. Any slight touch the lense moved off the centre and I found you need to hold the lense to stop any hand shake. It may work better on other phones. I have recently brought a microscope and that works fine on fixing with or without my leather phone wallet. This however requires me to take my phone out of the phone wallet but even with out this product is awkward to use. Probably OK for scenery shot if you have time and subject not changing. Would not take it to a concert as too hard to set up quickly and not secure enough to just leave lense fixed to phone.For some reason it works better in portrait than in landscape. Would not recommend to iPhone users.

I was looking for a quality zoom lense for my phone and this kind of does the job. It does have a rounde effect on the picture taken which isnt shown in the product pictures (they are square there) so i was dissapointed. Its quite heavy as well for a phone so you have to hold it whilst using it and the closer you zoom the more shaky the picture. All in all its ok but just ok

Before and then after with the telescope attached and zoomed in with the s6 edge. Works great will try another test with astro photography pics to follow

This is okay but it isn't as easy to use as you might think - the quality is great but it requires a steady hand or a tripod and by the time you get it in the correct position - the bird has flown so to speak.

To put it simply the lens quality is no better than just using the poor digital zoom on your phones camera or at least that was the conclusion me and my wife came to using my Samsung note 3 and her Samsung s6. Also with the s6's glass exterior the clip slips off the phone rather easily.

We bit fiddly until you get used to getting it lined up to the photo lense on your phone. Results are quite good but not startling as you really need to get it set up on a try-pod so there is very little movement when taking pictures, however does the job adequitely but dont expect very high quality.

Terrible item, don't know if I received a dodgy one as my packaging was not like in any of the pictures posted.The image is warped and it's very hard to focus without moving the lens out of alignment. But the main problem is the dreadful image quality.
