NPC comment 😂

[@ph11p3540]

As a miniaturists, scale modeler, antomoligist and enthusiast of all things very tiny a macro lense is always important to me along with flanking lights around the lense. On my smartphone, the macro function starts taking satisfactory macro images when the LED light is on. If I get a macro lense for my phone it must have its own flanking watch battery powered LEDs built into the lense, otherwise it will be very difficult to impossible to take reasonable macro shots. Sadly, Smart phone macro lense makers have not caught onto this critical feature so all smartphone lmacro enses are pretty useless.

[@oti9853]

I tried the phone lenses but the photos came all blurry and had to return them. I prefer Shuttermoon lenses because they are sharper and clearer than Sandmarc. They are same quality with Moment lens which is why I kept the Shuttermoon lenses and returned the Moment because the price difference is huge.

[@jacktihs2963]

A question, me and my wife, we have Iphone 11 Pro Max, and Samsung S21 5G Ultra. So we're aiming on getting a Gimbal, But yeah, they have a case, and if you add a lense to it. Which Gimbal will support that setup? Since I saw there's some huge weight restrictions on these mobile gimbals for phones. Secondly, this Mobile 4 with a magnet, I'm terrified a bit of wind will blow it off, how strong is that magnet actually? It needs to be sticked to the phone permanently? I find it hard to make a choice tbh.

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

The magnets are super strong thats no problem. But a big phone with a case and lenses will be too heavy for a smartphone gimbal.. you will have to look into dslr gimbals

[@tronpig]

Plus the lenses can add lens flare which i love

I would like to know how these compare to Xenvos lenses, SV Assets has a similar Beginner Kit to that of the Xenvo kit, both include wide angle and macro lenses. I have read about the Xenvo lenses having some warping on the far sides of shots, does SV Assets' lens have that problem? Also, I am assuming you are using their Pro Series V2 lenses, correct?

Dumb questions but I have my phone, and a 50mm lens mount 1 - If I get a 50mm ND filter, I can place that anywhere over the phones lenses right? 2 - If I get a 50mm manual focus Lens, Will that work over a 16mm 24mm and 70mm camera lens, 3 - will a 50mm lens need to be lined up with each camera lens to work or will it work slightly off centre, i assume it has to be lined up perfectly. 4 - will the F of the lens, have to be the same as the F of the phones camera lens. Eg a F2.4 50mm lens will only work if the phone camera lens is also F2.4 even though its a 24mm F2.4?

Do you use the native iPhone app or a 3rd party. I have the shift cam photographer lenses and can’t seem to figure out what I’m doing wrong. I have 18mm wide angle and 60mm telephoto.
