This a very nice fun small smartphone lens kit. Smartphone cameras are getting better every day, but there are still limited in terms of their ability to take varied kinds of photographs. There are some really nice and fancy ad-on camera kits out there, but they tend to be very expensive. This kit allows you to experiment with additional camera lenses without having to invest a lot of money. However, you do get what you pay for: the kit feels very cheap and plasticky, and the lenses have a lot of aberration. (I’ve included a few comparison photos.) Furthermore, unlike some other lens kits, this one only works with iPhone 6. If you upgrade or change your phone at some point you may not be able to use the lenses from this kit any more.

The tripod is not the most versatile tripod that you will come around. However, as a smartphone mount it works perfectly. The tripod works the best when its legs are not extended at all, since it doesn’t have to be adjusted.The tripod is built out of anodized aluminum and feels pretty sturdy. In terms of build materials it’s certainly an improvement over the plastic tripods that I otherwise use. However, in terms of flexibility and convenience I’d recommend a gorilla pod.

The included iPhone case is very thin, flimsy, and not very attractive. Unfortunately the case is the only way that you can attach the lenses securely to the iPhone, so you pretty much have to use it. I wish the case were more of the kind that you can quickly slip the iPhone in and out from.

The mount is easy to use. Besides iPhone 6, I was able to use this mount with an iPhone 4S and Galaxy S3, and both of them fit in easily and securely, even with the added bulky cases. The mount attached to a couple of my tripods and was fastened there very firmly. The only issue that I have with this mount is that there is no big rubberized surface on its top, so my phones are directly clamped with the metal holders. This is probably not the nicest way to clamp an expensive phone, but fortunately so far I did not have any major issues with it.
