Cheap OPTICAL ZOOM 8X for Cell Phone REVIEW

in #whysoserious8 years ago

I ordered this gadget for mobile phone from aliexpress.com and it was delivered few days ago.

This is an amateur accessory and it is not for any professional work.

First thing that I noticed was a stain on the lens and I can't to clean it. And that's not all about cheap things. Cheap things always die on the very first day. So, this came with few other lenses and mini tripod, and tripod broke at the moment of unpacking. Well, whole kit costed only 12$, so I kinda expected that. Check my order here.

I already had a macro lens, a wide lens and a fisheye lens, and I already wrote about them on Steemit, so today, I will show you how bad this OPTICAL ZOOM can be.

I already mentioned that this thing came with a mini tripod.

Upper part is made from very bad and fragile plastic so it broke at the moment of unpacking. I took some super-strong glue and fixed it, but I have to be more careful with this now. But tripod is very cool and I am having fun with it because I can put it everywhere and adjust it on the way I want.

This is not for any professional photography, but it is nice for playing and having some fun!

Let's test the OPTICAL ZOOM LENS.

It's kinda fucked up to focus trough this lens and the FOCUS wheel on this lens is very hard to turn.

Still kinda blur and impossible to get nice focus.

At the moment of taking these photos I was pretty clumsy with this gadget, so I decided to practice on my favorite magnolia.

Still kinda blur and impossible to get nice focus.

Not the best equipment but very interesting for beginners.

Sort:  

I really looks cheap. But there's an interesting effect on closeups. Try some macro photos.

I think that 80% of my posts in last two months contains at least one macro shot

Good job, and good review!

Still not so bad for what's it worth.
Check your typo: there one 'trough' which should be 'through'

I agree with @ace108. It's fairly powerful, considerably more than my phone alone, and considering the type of zoom it's not too bad. I think it would be handy for many things where quality was not a priority. Thanks for posting; I'd never seen this before!

It is nice for playing and it can be usefull
