Smartphone cameras are awesome, but their tiny lenses only zoom digitally. Digital zooming only increases pixel size, not the amount of pixels, and the resulting images lack detail and clarity. The Snapzoom adapter provides nearly unlimited optical zoom capabilities by securing a variety of high-quality optics directly to your smartphone. Now you can capture and share images of distant planets down to microorganisms in stunning detail. Note: High magnification optics will require stability to minimize shake and blur. Therefore we highly recommend using a tripod or stable surface. The quality of the images are also directly affected by the lighting, the quality of the optics, and capabilities of the smartphone. Please visit our site for more info, and a list of recommended optics and accessories.

Set up following the directions and video, pretty straight forward. zoom the phone camera in to eliminate the vignette and its ready. pretty amazing. the magnification is amazing, included are three photos to show the difference between no zoom and full zoom.
A clever solution for high-quality phone camera telephoto images I purchased the original model of the Snapzoom after reading about it in a travel magazine. I thought it was a brilliant idea and way to give my iPhone the telephoto capabilities of my binoculars. After using it, I found it to work as advertised and took it with our family on a safari in Africa. I am a professional photographer myself, so do have professional DSLR cameras and lenses when needed, but wanted something that my teenage kids could use with their phones to capture close-up images of…
