The problem with all of these lenses including the native 5x on my iPhone 15 Pro Max is that the subject needs to be fairly close to you while the background is fairly far away, what happens then with subjects like people is thst you only have one angle.. Portraits of them up close... You can see that 4:02 there is no depth separation in both. After a while you get bored of clicking portrait angles of people and eventually start hating it and needing an iPhone 14 Pro Max's 3x zoom but with a better depth separation
According to the marketing on the page for these, they achieve the "10x" by magnifying the already present Telephoto focal length (5x), meaning if you attach it to the main lens, it won't get you the 10x. They also mention that on a S23 Ultra, this attachment would put you at 460mm equivalent (20x optical zoom), now that's something I wanna see. lol
Nice! Damn! Moment has big competition! Only wish these lenses could be used on a variety of phones. I can only see iPhone on their kickstarter. *sigh*
@@joelconolly5574 It's crazy, I mean I get how Android has so many variations but it IS the majority. Not everyone has over $1000 for an iPhone. I'd love to use this on my Pixel 6A, I spent $300 on it.
Problem with these external lenses is you need to mount the phone on tripod to use. Even then, the slightest vibration from ground or tripod results in massive image shakes. Example mounting external zoom lens to the 5X optical zoom of Xiaomi 14U. Unlike DSLR lenses with inbuild image stabilization & in camera sensor stabilization, a huge optical zoom is possible with hand held..
I really like the 10x examples. It’s awesome to see the glass work well. It’s nice glass and it’s really not that expensive. I have all the lenses now and I am very happy not lugging around a huge set up. I travel all around the world and all of my peers have iPhones and G lenses and we love it.
I’m sold on the 240mm lens but one thing I done like about these types of setups is that I need to switch out my everyday case anytime I want to use lens. I wish these brands would make a universal mount for any case or thin cases.
En mi opinión, es la típica cosa que resulta interesante en una review para ver sus resultados pero que luego realmente muy pocos usan en la vida real. La gracia de hacer fotos con un movil es la comodidad y rapidez tenerlo todo ahí mismo, sin cargar con nada más y sin tener que andar poniendo y quitando accesorios. Y para tener mejores fotos, elegiría otro móvil.
Great video. I am new to all this. I am a dad who is always out taking videos of my son's baseball games and track meets. I want to step things up and shoot better videos with my iPhone 13 Pro. I may be upgrading to the iPhone 16 Pro shortly. Will this lens help shoot better videos of these sporting events? If not do you have any recommendations, also what app do you recommend to use with iPhone? Thank you
It's a shame there is no universal clip mount or an exclusive case specifically for Sony Xperia. I'd so love to try this on Xperia 1 IV/V/VI's variable zoom telephoto camera.
Selling at least 2 items from 1 purchase. Marketing genius! And it's a good thing the phone cases are beautiful, reliable and durable, and the lens does what it's meant to do. A win for the manufacturers and customers.
You guys really expect tech to be dirt cheap for some reason. 100 euro is barely enough for a nice dinner for two these days. In the US 100 bucks is nothing people pay that to park a car at Disneyland
@@bensgadgetreviews I am in EU. 200€ is a lot of money for me. Not sure why you are offensive to me. I just gave my personal opinion and even it is a great tech, I will not buy it for that price. I am your supporter several years, but last couple of weeks I observe a lot of agression for nothing.
@@Artstye4youwell the Default vivo macro zoom lenses Are incredibly shaky at 10X and beyond 😅 so I need external lenses that may have good stabilization when zooming in
Shame they don't make anything for Pixels. I had not heard of this company before, closest thing in the mainstream that is similar to this is Moment's cases and lenses. Thanks Ben for the video as always.
I think they have specific add-on cases for the most popular phones. Was this brand or another one similar that had Samsung and pixel cases. Check their web
Should test if it's optically.compatible with the 1/2" 3x in other phones, and see what reach it gives you.there. Not cheap, but reasonable, given the cost of similar glass.
@@bensgadgetreviews I saw someone in a different video on the same product say it can work on the 3X lens of the 13 Pro or 14 Pro, but that it may cause some slight vignetting. And that it can work with the 10X lens or the S23 Ultra, and extend it to 20X. But they have been wrong, I’m not sure.
wish vivo or oppo would collaborate with ziess or another brand to make cases and lenses. image this on the APO telephoto of the vivo x100ultra/200 pro, 170mm at 200mp pre binning! 340 at 50mp and 680mm at 12.5mp!!!!! thing would be insane! Or imagine the 1" main camera at a much more reasonable focal length close to 50mm? Really I wish all brand would do a Nubia and make their main cameras 35mm standard. Vivo x200 Ultra should be 1/1.56 18mm Ultrawide. 1" 35mm main and 1/1.4" 85mm telephoto. I'm so tired of having huge differences between camera quality on phone cameras.
They need a snap on mechanism, obviously they understood that with those addons. Aint nobody gonna bother screwing this on and off all the time, when they get the phone out of their pocket and back in. So, there's some feeedback. Thanks for the shots of Bangkok, loved it.
I have all their lenses and definitely prefer to screw them in. I have had snap on and it was not a good feeling. They never felt secured. Many close calls.
This is such a great idea, imagine if they would give you a very very good main camera with the largest sensor and then you can purchase these lenses in case you wanted wide angel and telephoto pictures, because you rarely ever use these lenses to begin with But the price should be lowered very much
Very innovative. Thing is. You’d use it ten times then never bother again, smartphone photography is “good enough”. If you want more or better images get a proper camera.
Seems geat. Thanks for the interesting review. I have been using Honor Magic6 Pro and otherwise like it but I'm very dissapointed on its main camera's bokeh. Wasn't expecting pro glass creamy bokeh, but it has about worse I have ever seen. Extremely ugly and busy with really heavy CA.
even with the lens pics still look kinda wonky.. noise an all. i bought some for my 10t pro a while back.... never again $60 a piece an all but 1 were garbage
It still does nothing to improve the iPhone image quality, poor antialising, blotched pixels on people’s face and shadow areas, etc. I rather get an AI image enhancer that give the image a true photo quality than lenses that don’t.
It's very unethical to lie to your audience and masquerade an ad as a review. This is anything but a pro lens, and it is not even remotely close to taking pro looking portraits lol.
@@bensgadgetreviews I'm not against you Ben, I subscribed to your channel for a reason. But you called this a pro lens and said it takes pro portraits more than 10 times. A pro lens is like sigma ART or Sony GM which this isn't even close to, and is a very basic attachment instead. I don't think you're a bad person, but this wasn't a good showing from you. We're used to you doing better and when we try to correct you you insult us.
I like all these lenses :P
But lenseless x100 ultra is still the best :P
I was about to say that to make the ip on par with vivo x100 ultra/ x200 pro, you need external lenses 😅
@@kensei93rtnJust imagine those same lenses on Vivo's X100 Ultra or X200 Pro. You might even consider ditching your whole dedicated camera.

iPhone's 5x periscope telephoto camera is still new. Even Beastgrip's 1.7x Tele Pro Lens has abberration issues when using on 5x zoom camera.

Won't work. Different geometries. Similarly, you can't get a stock tele to focus properly with an attachment. built. for the main camera (I've tried).
But then you'd be getting only 5x

Any decent lenses available for iPhone 14 Pro?
super early bird pricing is not available anymore
What if you attach the 0.5x ultra wide lens to the iPhone's 5x camera? Will you get a 2.5x wider view with depth separation?
Do they have Android lenses. I last used apple 8 years ago and am going back. There are user friendly options on Android.
Is it compatible with 14 pro max..??
A Telephoto attachment for Pocket 3 will be great!!
Thanks for giving away to me after reviewing 😂😂
the background compression is the same as original 10x sensor cropped image. only less overshapened/processed look and DOF
Is it compatible with IP 15promax?
And hw bt lidar sensor coz that lense covering the lidar sensor.
Ben"Can you create a video demonstrating the Vivo X200Pro potential as a cinematography camera?.pliz .....
Can we use telephoto lenses on 3x or 10x on Samsung ?
Will it work with the 3x telephoto lens of iPhone 15 pro? Please reply
It does, yes
i also like to see a video of using this on the Galaxy s243/34.
How much for the set and what is the brand name please?
Reeflex. The whole set is like 900$. They sell packs by pairs and so. They are based in Europe.
i need that for my s23 ultra so i can use 20x optical zoom so i can take mars photo :(
nice , if you please add this lens on vivo x100 pro 1 inch sensor 😮😮😮
Actually, didn't notice THAT big of a difference... That's why smartphones replaced point and shoot cameras
Vivo X 100 Ultra laughing silently at the corner. 85 mm native telephoto with a big sensor is a deadly combo for portrait.

This lens blocks iPhone's 3D LiDAR scanner, which would've helped it with more details in terms of separation of subject & background.
For 10x it doesn't matter since the Bokeh you get is optical.
But if you use the portrait mode yes this may be impactful
Anything the LiDAR could possibly add is fake. Which is exactly what this lens is trying to prevent
If it is good i dont care if it is called 2x or 240 mm lens. IT IS 2x.
