Professional Macro Photography with Apexel 100mm Macro Lens - Best Budget Lens!

In this video, I tried the Apexel 100mm Macro lens for Professional Macro Photography on a smartphone.
The Apexel 100mm Macro gives you the best possible magnification and depth while maintaining image sharpness and details. I used the iPhone 13 Pro as the test phone for this, but the results you see are pretty much similar across most modern phones.
Some Android phones with higher megapixel count and closer focusing distances may result in much better image quality and macro performance.

Is it possible to combine the 2x zoom of the iphone pro (what you refer to as the built in macro) with the lens? I want to get extreme closeups. Thanks!

The additional macro lens worked out amazing on that iPhone you're using, will it bring any similar result when used with a Pixel 3?

[@umarnaq]

Absolutely. As long as you give the phone sensor enough light, you can expect similar or even better results.

can i attach this to my pixel 6 pro? because the camera housing is a bit more distant from the edges

Yes if the centre of the camera lens is less than 25mm away from the edge of the phone or case if using one

Hi, I have a Huawei Mate 20 with the 3 camera lenses set towards the middle. Can you recommend a good Macro lens that would work with this arrangement?

Apexel has this lens with a sideways clamp instead of a clip, it would probably work better :)

[@tifanydheanisa]

Will lense clip make a iphone camera scratch? I’m using ip 13, I'm afraid the clip will damage my camera phone. Thanks for the nice video 🙏🏻

[@umarnaq]

Hi Tifany! I've been using this lens for over a year, and I'm definitely not worried about any scratches. It has a bit of padding on the part that touches your lens. You should be okay :)

[@deepak1987]

I have a Mi 11 Ultra smartphone with a total thickness of 14.5mm with the rugged case on. Will this clip fit on it without taking the case off? If I take the case off the thickness is 12.5mm. Also, if this clip does not fit, does it mean even other apexel lenses using a similar clip like the Apexel 6x will not fit?

Hi I have the same phone & same lens. But when I put it on it’s blurry? I’ve tried over all of the camera & just how you did it.. what am I doing wrong?! 😩

[@umarnaq]

Hey there! I don't know your exact circumstances, but most likely its cause of the lack of light. All my shots are taken outdoors at around 4/5pm which the sun is quite bright. With macro you need A LOT of light, or they end up being blurry. Hope this helps. :)

[@pranavadarsh1133]

what about skyvik company lens

[@umarnaq]

I haven’t really tried those yet. 🤔

[@etiennetjonsjoesjoe7822]

Just received the lens - First impression The clip is very tight, it might damage the glass so I certainly won't use it on my Sony Xperia Pro-i (1600 dollar). The clip construction is wrong - the screw should have been the other side around in order to regulate the pressure on the camera. The APEXEL lens itself is not bad. On the 16 and 24mm it doesn't really add up On the 50 mm it's just fine. (not amazing at all but just fine) So I would not recommend this lens on an expensive mobile phone.

[@Mridul_Hossain_]

Is this possible in midrange phone like oneplus 9r, nice Video ❤️

[@umarnaq]

It's possible with any smartphone with a decent camera system. The main thing you need is light, everything else works well.
