Godefa Cell Phone Camera Lens with Tripod+ Shutter Remote,6 in 1 18x Telephoto Zoom Lens/Wide Angle/Macro/Fisheye/Kaleidoscope/CPL, Clip-On lense Compatible for iPhone X 8 7 6s Plus, Samsung and More

All good!

All the lenses were pretty good and fun to play with. Mostly bought it for the 18x zoom to use at a concert. Was pretty content with how close i got the shot. There is a blur effect at the edges of the videos but i didn’t mind. However, getting the lense centered to the phone camera mid concert was kinda time consuming. So note you’ll be missing parts :( Overall content with the purchase :)

I had a really hard time getting the telephoto lens to work and focus. Also the photo of the product is deceptive. (See paragraph 3) You do have to manually focus it and it takes more time. I had envisioned being able to clip it on and have my phone still auto focus. Instead you have to get it on correctly first.. (it will easily cover part of your lense. It took me at least 20 minutes to figure out how to arrange it so all of the phone showed an image) then it took some time to get used to focusing it. I was indoors so maybe the telephoto will work better outside, but I did notice that there was a very small room for error in focusing it. Twist it too fast and it goes right past the focus point.I had hopes that my kids would be able to use it and almost "sub" a phone for a real camera. That will be more difficult because of how much it takes to get the lenses to focus. The microscopic lens literally only focuses if you are practically touching the item you are photographing to the camera. So I don't see them taking pictures of things they don't want to touch. This item is not going to work well for kids. It does work as promised, but is labor intensive. The tripod is the best and easiest part of the camera to work. It will position your phone both horizontally and verticallyThe photo showed two long lenses. I assumed one was the telephoto and one was the microscopic lens. NO. The microscopic lens is super small so you really can't use it like a microscope. (There is another product out there that looks like it would work a lot better for microscopic photographs) It does work, but is best used for photographing about 1/2 inch or 1/4 inch from the camera. That's all. Farther out and it won't focus.Not sure if I would buy it again. Company sent a card with a garuntee and an offer for another product at a discount or a full refund so it seems like they are a legit company and with good customer service.

Was extremely difficult to use. Did not get the results I was hoping for in my pictures. More frustrating than fun.

The lens package is compact and easy to carry in pockets if one does not want to carry extra bulky accessories. The quality of the picture is not as good as regular zoom lens, but for the price, it is adequate. I took a regular picture and then cropped it to zoom in on a bush about 50 meters away. Took another one by zooming on the screen before taking the picture. Took another one with the zoom lens on the same bush. The two pictures without the zoom lens did not show the flowers in the bush. The picture with the lens did. The Bluetooth remote is a nice feature. One does not have to touch the phone to take a picture, which may upset the balance or the setting of the phone. It would be great if the zoom is adjustable, but it is a fixed zoom. The instructions can be better. For example, the package came with two clips. One can fit all the lens, but another one can fit all lens but the zoom lens. The instruction did not say that. Also, the wide angle lens must be used in conjunction with the macro lens. But the instruction did not say that either. I had problem disconnecting the macro lens from the wide angle lens. After contacting the company, they sent me another one that is of better quality. The customer service is very responsive. As for ease of use, it can be improved by better design. The set up is not complicated but takes time to set it up properly. One has to remove the protection case of the phone in order to get the lens coupled to the phone camera correctly without causing a shadow ring around the picture and out of focus. One also has to align the lens with the phone camera carefully to get rid of the shadow. It may take 3-4 minutes to do the set up before taking a picture. One suggestion would be for the company to sell a special phone protector designed for this set of lens, with a ring opening that couples the lens correctly onto the phone camera, and of course a clip that will allow proper clamping over the protector. There may be need to have protectors for each model of phones. But that would be additional items the company can market. If such a protector is available, one does not have to remove the protector, and just clip the lens on the opening which will automatically align the lens to the phone camera. That would save a lot of time in the setup.

From my experience cheap gadgets rarely live up to the descriptions and/or cost, but this set met my expectations. The 4 star rating and cost had me skeptical that I would be happy with this set, but the cost was cheap enough for me to give it a try. I am happy I did. Now, of course, it is inexpensively made given the cost, but for me it is worth it. It only took a few minutes to figure out how to get it working on my phone. I bought it mainly for the macro lens and it works well. The Bluetooth shutter release connects easily and works without any issues. I like that it uses replaceable button battery. The tripod head movement is a little rough. The phone mount is ok. I consider those 2 pieces as freebies included in the set, but they function just fine if you don't already have them.The only thing I found lacking, I wish it came with a rigid case for the small lenses. They come loose in a small drawstring pouch. I plan to fix that by customizing an Altoids sized tin for them. Normally I wait and test out products for a while before posting reviews, but I am happy enough with this set that I am posting my review the same day that it arrived.
