I’ve mentioned here on the OWC Blog before that my iPhone camera is my favorite camera… it’s also the only camera I own. This makes some legitimate photographers cringe – especially my former college roommate, Ben, who just happens to be a photographer by trade. (Tip: Don’t live with a photographer in college. They will perfectly capture only your darkest moments).
As the cameras on smartphones continue to get better and better, I imagine there are more and more people like me who use their phone to take 99% of their pictures. It’s just more convenient. Our phones are always with us, and are quick and easy to take out and capture very good (I know, Ben, this is subjective) photos.
But sometimes, even I’ll admit, the situation calls for something more than an iPhone camera on its own. Fortunately there is the perfect camera peripheral for just such occasions: the olloclip 4-IN-1 Photo Lens.
The olloclip 4-IN-1 is an easy to use device that effortlessly attaches to your iPhone 5/5S. It gives you four new lens options including fisheye, wide-angle and two macro lenses in one small, convenient package that fits right in your pocket. It also connects quickly, so you can quickly capture the image you want, and if it’s not the right shot, simply flip it over to switch lenses. You can even use the olloclip with all of your favorite apps in photo and video mode!
The olloclip is made from aircraft grade aluminum and precision-ground coated glass optics, so you’ll get durability to match the new flexibility you’ll have with your iPhone camera. And the iPhone attachment is made from a soft plastic material to ensure a secure fit.
So if you’re like me and strictly use your iPhone to take photos, give the olloclip 4-IN-1 Photo Lens a shot and get the most out of your one and only camera.
How well does this lens work on iPhones with cases or bumpers?
The olloclip is designed to work with a bare iPhone. We do offer an olloclip Lens with a Quick-Flip Case, however.
photo quality is great but video is poor.
can you recommend a good small portable video camera?
