It is great, and the clamp makes it even better!
After little success using a spotting scope with a flimsy phone holder, I have now gone the other way and acquired this scope and holder specifically designed for use with a phone. This little thing is rather astonishing. It is 28x zoom, and the clamp to mount the phone is much more stable than other clamps with spring action. So this is much more useable and you can move it around, without having to constantly realign phone and scope. The brand is Apexel, made in India, and I can genuinely recommend it. In the same line, they also have 36x and 60x (!) zoom options, but I chose the 28x version, as I fear a larger zoom, will limits it use too much. If they make a variable zoom later in this series, I'd be very inclined to get one, although I am sure it will be at a very different price (and yes, I am aware that they do offer some variable zoom options, but in different lines, and as far as I have found, they only cover less than 20x zoom, and they unfortunately also have the less useable spring action clamps). My current phone has a 2x optical zoom, so I can increase total zoom to 56x optical, which isn't bad! And my next phone will lin most likelyhood have even more optical zoom, so I may newer crave more zoom (but variable zoom would be nice). At the price this is incredibly good. The photos shows 1. the set-up 2. No zoom 3. 28x zoom from scope 4 56x zoom with the addition of my phones 2x optical zoom. The arrow in the photos point to my old flat around 350m away. Photos taken in/from my living room (photos do no show up in the order I added them, so numbering may be off, but you get the idea anyway I hope)

Good Value Lens
This is a bit fiddly to set it up on your phone, but is worth it for the picture. I have a Samsung s22 and the lens needs fitting over the main camera, on this phone is the middle one. The tripod I have works with it pretty well, although it can work itself loose. However, I think that's more to do with the tripod. The pictures themselves are of a reasonable quality. No where near the quality of a full size camera telephoto lens, but then again at this price I wouldn't expect it to. The photos I've attached show the same picture taken without this lens fitted, with it fitted and then with my phone's camera set to the maximum 3x optical zoom. Overall, I think this lens is very good value and well worth the money.

Bad Information
Shocking, The advert advising you only need a Iphone 13 or newer but then in another breath it only works with Iphone 13 and nothing newer. after looking for the questions before ordering i asked if it would work with my Iphone 14 Plus and it advised this would be suitable and compatible then i order it and now its not

Make sure the generic lens is suitable for your phone camera
The service was excellent and I was pleased with the telefoto lens until I attached it to my Samsung Galaxy A26 phone camera. Unfortunately my phone has 3 lens vertically and this telefoto did not cover all three. Hence 3 stars, otherwise it would have been 5

Versatile Piece of Kit
I purchased this item as something to carry most of the time when using my DSLR would be impractical. Although mobile phone cameras are good most don’t have a telephoto lens to capture a great picture where the subject is too far away. I purchased this lens so that I could capture that moment. As you can see from the pictures attached, they are much better than using the digital zoom on my phone and produce good snapshots even when not using a tripod (preferable). The pictures cannot compete with a dedicated telephoto lens on a DSLR but they are great for capturing that fleeting moment. The only downsides are that I have to remove my phone case to attach the clamp and the lens case isn't big enough the hold the clamp as well as the lens. I shall be experimenting with manual settings to adjust aperture size to vary the depth of field. Very good value for money piece of kit.

Good Monocular - Phone Clip makes it unusable
My daughter swims competitively and I want to get some good shots of her from a balcony/viewing gallery. Short of buying a new camera, I wanted to try a telephoto lens attchement and this looked great. Having a single zoom of 28x doesn't give any adjustability, so unless you are shooting from the same distance all of the time, its useless. The mounting bracket for the phone is really good quality and well designed, except that the surface that touches the screen is conductive so it means us can't actually use your screen for adjusting the spot meter, refocusing or using the phones optical zoom.

GREAT but slightly fiddly to attach
Positives: Pictures look AMAZING with this, which is the whole point, right? It comes with a handy little bag, lens cover and even a carabiner so you can attach it to your belt or bag or whatever. The zoom is really good and so is the focus. Even with an old iPhone SE, I was taking the most amazing pictures. Negatives: It takes a while to set up. You have to take any phone cases off or it won’t fit properly and getting the tiny aperture to line up with the camera can be a bit fiddly. It’s fine if you have set up time, but if you just see something and want to snap it quick, you’re out of luck. However if you can plan advance it’s absolutely fine.

Fantastic product. Highly recommended.
An excellent lens that is very well-priced and super easy to use. Absolutely love the telephoto zoom and quality of photos that I am getting so far with it. Update: added a photo to show my current setup where I usually have my phones (Samsung Note 8 and 9) on my tripod, and how this lens is attached. I like the fact that its clip can be tightened properly to hold it securely in place. Also attaching a couple of photos to show the quality of images with/without the lens, which were all taken from the same location and distance from the objects in question. In each of the comparisons, the images on the right side were taken using this lens. I am still working on finessing my technique in terms of getting the focus just right, but overall I am very pleased with the results!

Il materiale è metallico, non è un teleobiettivo giocattolo di plastica con uno zoom scarso. Facile da montare e da usare, ha anche una custodia imbottita molto comoda da portare con sé, ma non può contenere gli altri componenti che sono da portare a parte. Ho fatto qualche scatto di prova e sono rimasto molto soddisfatto dalla messa a fuoco anche a distanze non troppo piccole. Le foto che ho caricato nella recensione sono: - del teleobiettivo, in dettaglio lo zoom massimo 28x stampato sul componente, perché ho letto che qualcuno chiedeva se fosse 28x o 10x; - del teleobiettivo senza il tappo davanti, con il borsellino morbido per portarlo con sé; - di tutti i componenti che mi sono arrivati, cioè il teleobiettivo, la “pinza” per il telefono su cui fissarlo, l’anello per montarlo sul treppiedi (non incluso in questo annuncio, ma avevo già un treppiedi), un adattatore per utilizzarlo come monocolo senza il telefonino, il borsellino morbido. Oltre ai componenti ho caricato anche delle foto di esempio dello zoom. Non ho lavorato affatto su impostazioni dell’immagine dal telefonino, quindi le foto sono esattamente come sono venute solo montando il teleobiettivo e scattando. Considerate che qualche aggiustamento sarebbe stato necessario per via delle condizioni di luce e meteorologiche non favorevoli, ma non ho voluto mettermici troppo perché lo scopo che volevo ottenere è solo il confronto tra i diversi livelli di zoom. - Foto con zoom 5X: fatta senza teleobiettivo, solo con lo zoom massimo fornito dal telefonino; - Foto con zoom 28X: fatta montando il teleobiettivo e senza zoom del telefonino; - Foto con zoom 28X + 5X: zoom massimo del teleobiettivo combinato allo zoom massimo del telefono; - No zoom: la foto originale indicativa della reale distanza dell’albero da casa mia. Vi prego di non badare alle macchie di umidità sotto la grondaia :-)

Bonjour, Ce produit est vendu avec une pochette pour le ranger, une protection à chaque bout de l'objectif, une lingette pour essuyer les lentilles, un déclencheur de photo bluetooth qui est très facile à connecter au téléphone, efficace et simple d'utilisation et enfin le nécessaire pour attacher un pied à l'objectif. L'objectif se règle manuellement et permet une très bonne mise au point. Petit bémol sur le capuchon de la grande lentille qui ne tient pas très bien. J'aime beaucoup ce produit qui permet de prendre des photos d'objets de très loin. Mes premiers essais sont très prometteurs comme vous pouvez le voir sur les photos jointes. Mes photos sont prises sans l'objectif, puis avec, les cercles rouges indiquant la zone prise en photo avec l'objectif. Il faut prendre le coup de main, mais après quelques utilisations, cela permet de faire de super rendus. C'est selon moi un produit de qualité !

Ein tolles Telescope Objektiv, dass Fotos bis zu 28x vergrößert mit schöner Neopren Tasche. Es verwandelt das Smartphone in ein Teleskop. Das Teleobjektiv ist einfach am Telefon zu befestigen. Aus dem digitalen zoom wird ein optischer zoom, was man an der bildqualität erkennen kann. Es lässt sich allerdings auch super als fernglas benutzen. Eine Bluetooth Auslöser ist auch dabei. Dieser lässt sich sehr leicht verbinden. Super Preis Leistungs Verhältnis!

I bought it so I could make nice photo's and video's at concerts since my reguar phone camera zoom sucks, and I have to say this product did not dissapoint!! It works so well and the zoom is incredible. Easy to attach and remove between songs as long as you have the clip well and secured. It took me a while to figure out how to properly use it tho, it's a pretty big thing and quite heavy and when making video's the footage can be shaky, but once you got it the quality is insane! I used it at the txt concert and in the attached photo's you can see before & after I used the zoom camera! If you want to use this at a concert like me I don't recommend bringing it if you have standing tickets, it's too heavy and could be dangerous for others since its pretty big aswell. But if you have seated tickets and/or are far away I definitely recommend!!
