APEXEL 2 in 1 HD Fixed Focus 6X Telephoto Lens & 150mm Macro Lens with Universal Clip, Professional Phone Lens Kit for Most Smartphones

I did A LOT of research on the best lense to get for my iPhone as I was about to go on holiday and we were going on safari. There’s a lot of choice out there and some very expensive options.I opted to go with this as the reviews seemed good and it was relatively lightweight and most importantly, didn’t require a seperate attachment piece which a lot of other lenses don’t include.Now to the photos - they are not as good as having a dslr BUT they were so much better than I thought they would be. If you have an iPhone I would recommend switching to portrait mode to get some detailed long shots. Also practice as much as you can. I was planning on selling it when I got back but I’ve decided to keep it as I was very impressed. First three photos below are with the lense and photos 4 and 5 are without.

Terrible idea, made even worse by quality of the lense.This might work on different phones, but on my Samsung S24, it was too unbearable to set up. You would need a tripod and to use the pen as a remote as any movement makes it a huge mess.There was also a very clear internal mark on the lense assembly.

Now my standards are higher than most, I'm a filmmaker who is looking for a very usable and gradable image. Obvs you get what you pay for and will need a tripod/gimbal/ibis to use it "well". Saying that, I got some decent action shots with it handheld as I was testing which are usable if you're going for that handheld look.Positives: Way better quality than the actual iPhone15 pro max telephoto lens. Good build quality and thankfully you don't need to use the plastic clamp if you have a threaded 37mm case attachment which makes it a real solid connection.Negatives: frame still needs cropped in as it gives you a circular frame. Which defeats the purpose as you're then digitally zooming in to crop it. (Cropping that 48Mp sensor behind the 24mm lens is how Apple does this).Conclusion:If it was cheaper I may have kept it but for the most part it wouldn't be for professional use.Photos:1: 24mm (iPhone)2: 120mm (iPhone)3: This x6 lens on iPhone 24mm lens4: This x6 lens on iPhone 48mm (2x 28mm lens) to get that cropped frame.

OK, image not the greatest but acceptable well built but a little heavy.

Don’t fit very good
