Anyone uses these things?
There are plenty of them online but I would like if someone can give me a link to a one that works well with A1 (in terms of size) and covers the camera and not the rest of the space like speakerphone for example.

I have noticed Samsung came out with a camera phone in a more literal sense. But, I'm curious as to why the custom lenses are not a more popular item? Being able to change out the lens on my phone as I need to would add a huge level of customization and not too mention make the companies more money. Especially for well made premium lenses.
We've all seen the clips and attachments on Amazon or other websites. But, none of them are really thought out well. The clip moves around easily. The cases are ugly and useless for anyone who wants a protective case.
A lot of the lenses have defects even if they are small. Sure these items are cheap. But, that is my point. I spent some time looking and always got sent back to these ones. There's no higher end models nothing. I'd assume that would be because this idea is perceived as gimmicky. But, it's really not. Give me the ability to take a small plastic ring off my phone around the camera and attach my own custom lenses. You could charge oodles for higher tier lenses too.
Would reduce all the stuff I have to carry around with me everywhere for my camera.
Any thoughts as to why they don't support or carry their own custom lenses? The camera being an important feature for many of us on our phones. An improvement/addition like this I cannot see anything but perks of.
you should check sony qx10 and qx100
Either you have to carry your phone in a case with the lens attached, or take it out of your pocket and put on a lens each time you want to use it. Much easier to use a zoom-enabled digital camera, and the quality of photos is between better and much better. I always wondered why are they even produced. Yeah, I use my phone camera once in a while, but if I care enough to take a photo, I have a Canon rebel.
So I've read many mentioning that the ring on our lenses work with some fisheyes to hold the lens in place. Also, I've heard it messes with stabilization. Can someone point me in the right direction?

i bought one set of lenses (fish eye, macro and wide lens).
and yes theoretically, n5 camera supports these lenses as it has a magnet around the camera but i faced some problems (idk if it was a problem with the lens i bought or a design flaw of the phone)
The macro lens attached alright but the fish eye lens couldnt stay in place (as it is bigger and heavier). i corrected that issue by attaching a metal ring around n5 camera and hence the lens's magnet stick perfectly on that metal ring
and i didnt noticed much difference in stabilisation.

What lens kit did you get? I've been looking specifically for a macro lens for the N5 but I can't get a straight answer from anybody on polarity consistency. Here are the lenses I am looking at:
http://www.amazon.com/Leegoal-Detachable-iPhone-Camera-Smaller/dp/B005C3CSXC/
http://www.amazon.com/VicTsing®-Fish-Eye-Magnetic-Easy-Use-connected/dp/B00QIGOKRE/
http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/
The Photojojo lenses are the only ones I have been told have consistent magnet polarity, so they should always work on the N5, but they aren't higher quality than the Chinese knock-offs so their price isn't really justified.
Anyone have a good recommendation?

The rear camera on Moto G5 Plus is too far off from the top edge of the phone - almost 1 inch or more down. The existing clip on lens I had for my Moto X 2014 does not fit on it any more.
Any suggestions on clip on lens options which will fit Moto G5 Plus?
P.S: Yes, clip on lenses - especially the 10x macro ones - are amazingly good for any decent smartphone camera, if you are into that sort of photography. Pro Tip: Try making a video with a 10x macro clip on lens with whatever phone you have - say, of an ant moving across grass - and you would be amazed!
Got mpow lens from Amazon for RS 800 and they fit perfectly. Have tried the macro and wide angle lens and they are pretty neat.

Can you show us the samples
Hi, m not allowed to post pics or share outside links.
Have send a private message with the link to sample images
Try the photojojo sets. They're really nice, and use magnets to attach instead of clips so they're truly universal
Sent from my XT1687 using XDA Labs
You could try this lens from Amazon. It's adjustable so it may be what you're looking for.
Does anyone know a suitable lens kit for oneplus 2. Because the camera module is on the upper middle of the device, usual lenses like in the picture cannot clip to the camera.

Hey, I bought one of these for my OnePlus 2 and it fits just fine. Quality is great, image quality is acceptable (have to zoom in to avoid vignetting).

Hello, guys!
I'm looking for a gimbal for my LG G6 but something rather cheap-ish and reliable. I'm reading loads of reviews but sometimes honest personal opinions are better. Right now I think about Zhiyun Smooth-Q as it is on sale at my local store. But I've heard that there are some problems with its dedicated Android app which has very low rating on the Play Store, people complain about it very much.
Does anyone of you have this particular gimbal or can recommend something different?
Also is there a way NOT to use dedicated app to record videos, but just our built-in Camera app but keep the gimbal controls anyway (zoom, rotation with joystick, etc.)?
Thanks in advance!
I have the Zhiyun Smooth-Q. It doesn't provide near perfect stabilization like more expensive models but for its price, there's nothing else like it. The Android app is not so great and cannot output great quality videos but it gets the job done. You can use other camera apps of your choice and still use the joystick. Only the Zoom knob won't work which is fine for me.
Also, just as a heads up, I haven't tried it myself but I've seen videos: when you use the wide angle lens with the gimbal, part of the device will always be there in the lens view. This can be annoying when taking videos. The only way to fix it is turning the device back to front and putting the phone the opposite way as well, but otherwise you can't do anything about it.

Thank you VERY much for your reply! I've already watched some videos too where people use Smooth-Q paired with G6 and it looks stunning for such price range. I think I will buy it soon.
