Is The Apexel 100mm Macro Lens The Best Mobile Macro Lens For Photography?

Is the Apexel Macro Lens one of the best mobile macro lenses for photography? It performed surprisingly well for me. At $39.99 I was blown away by both the image and the build quality.
If you're in the market for a macro lens for beginners, then you have to consider the Apexel 100mm Macro Lens. Apexel isn't as well known as Moment, BeastGrip, or Sandmarc but when it comes to budget smartphone lenses, they definitely have the industry juggernauts beat.
If a cheap macro lens for iPhone or a cheap macro lens for Android is what you're in the market for then you're going to be impressed by the quality of this lens. The build quality is that of a significantly pricier mobile macro lens.

your voice sounds much better! tell us about the mic!

Congratulatios excellent video!

[@photoswithphones]

Thanks!

[@ibrahimnabil13]

can u put the name of app u used

[@artieshell9205]

Looks like you’re in colonial Williamsburg…. That’s where I live (I’m Mascon Leather here on KZbin). Great video, by the way! Edit- heard just after I commented…. It is Colonial wmbg! 🤘

[@MrWorshipMe]

It only works if you have no case on... This clip thingy doesnt sit well on my Galaxy s22 ultra, and I cant get anything into focus

[@photoswithphones]

I didn’t love the clip either. My recommendation is the beast grip pro lens adapter as you’ll be able to mount the lens to any phone.

[@mkriz2140]

@@photoswithphones Bruh, that thing cost 3 times more than that lens 💀

[@geost77]

How close you need to be to subject with this APEXEL lens ? You never show or measure that, and it is said it is tele-macro, so have to be further away, which will be great if true. My other APEXEL force me to be 1/2 inch away, which is too close for any live subject (insect or else). Can this be like 5+ inches ? Please let us know this important info in comments

[@jordansyberg3571]

‼️‼️‼️How far away was your phone from the subject??? Thinking of buying for videography. Currently use sandmarc, but I have to hold my phone to close while I’m recording.

[@photoswithphones]

The Apexel working distance is MUCH better. I honestly prefer it to the sandmarc and moment macro. Checkout the recent video I did comparing iphone macro mode, Apexel macro, and the sandmarc macro!

[@elliotstern8582]

What is the standoff distance from lens to subject

[@photoswithphones]

Wide - 2" to 3.25" Tele - 4.5" to 5.75"

[@stutikansal-graphicdesigne5688]

sir how to use macro lens with mobile camera sir please tell settings for mobile camera for taking macro shots

[@photoswithphones]

All that I do is attach the lens to the phone with the BeastCage from BeastGrip and use the BeastCam Pro Camera app. If you're interested in mobile macro photography tips, check out this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIuVZKJnpLt7las

Want us to test more Apexel lenses? Which ones are you most interested in? How about other brands?

[@franciscopinon7678]

Apexel telephoto 👌🏼

[@photoswithphones]

@@franciscopinon7678 it's on the list my friend. I've been in contact with the company and I think that's the one they're sending next🤘🤙

[@elliotstern8582]

Wide angle and tele.

Sirui Mc-02 Macro Lens 10X with Clip

[@photoswithphones]

Sirui lenses are on our radar. We plan to test them once we're finished testing all the lenses from Sandmarc and BeastGrip

[@muhammedyalcn6976]

Do you think the clip might sit well on the iphone14 pro max or 15 pro max models? You know the cameras are bulky. Thanks for the video by the way.

[@photoswithphones]

Great question. The clip that I got does not, but I got this lens two years ago. I would expect that the company would update their product to be more usable with newer devices. Hope this helps!!

[@muhammedyalcn6976]

@@photoswithphones Thanks a lot! I got this same lens and it did not sit well on Iphone 15 pro max with the clip. It sits with an angle and ruins the shot. So I bought a phone case with 17mm lens mountings on aliexpress. Now it's working great. I hope it helps other people too, highly recommend a case.

[@payso1382]

How does this lens compare to the moment and sandmarc, in your unsponsored opinion 🤔???

[@photoswithphones]

Honestly I prefer it. Check out one of the most recent videos - I compare Apexel Macro with Sandmarc Macro and iPhone 13 Pro Macro Mode - to see comparisons. I hope this helps!

[@payso1382]

@@photoswithphones Thanks for sharing your opinion. This one looks really solid, and I will check out your other video as well. Ty🙏🏼

[@shariarmorshed5714]

which camera app you are using

[@photoswithphones]

Shariar - great question. I use the BeastCam Pro Camera App. I've made multiple videos about it in the past. I hope this helps!

[@jeffrivera6]

is the 100mm macro good for 6" action figure photography?

[@photoswithphones]

Jeff - great question. The Apexel Macro should be the perfect option for 6" scrub figures. You may not get the whole action figure into a single shot but you'll get around 1/2 plus lots of details.

[@jeffrivera6]

@@photoswithphones thank you so much.. :)

[@suryasubedi9796]

Which mobile lens do you recommend for taking Best photo

[@photoswithphones]

Depends on what you want to take pictures of! What are you interests?

[@suryasubedi9796]

I want to take pictures of my wife who loves me taking her picture wherever we go ..do I want to take some great pics.for this which lens do you recommend

[@LalbelKastoria]

Hi, I have an iPhone 11 Pro. Is it worth it to buy Apexel Macro Lens?

[@photoswithphones]

Absolutely. Espcially if it's your first smartphone macro lens, it's a fantastic option.

[@LalbelKastoria]

@@photoswithphones Yeap, I decided to buy my first macro lens, but I don't know which one should I buy? All of the macro lens from Apexel looks so similar... :p
