The Tzumi SmartLens is a whopping $14.99 USD at Best Buy, but is it too cheap to be worth anything..?

Thanks a lot, you convinced me completely!

16 degrees is FOV as in field of view
The clip is junk focus the lens the clip turns off center and scewing with in dropped the phone with lens attached no damage.The camera needs a statinary plate to screw the lens into.
F18mm is the Focal Length, 16° is the Focal angle (e.g Fisheye is usually 180°). The numbers on the display is the focus distance, the aperture is wide open as the phone has a built in fixed aperture.
The zoom sounds strange as it is {your phone’s focal length} x {phone sensor crop factor} + 18mm
The pricing is controversial as at Walmart Canada sells them for $25, and BestBuy sells them at $15 (Rounding numbers) and I didn’t know of BestBuy selling them.
I bought this outrageous lens just so I could film 240FPS from a slightly further distance when quality doesn’t 100% matter.
fuck u!! you white piece of shit! u are the cheap piece of shit! now fuck off!
Thank you for the thorough review. I would have liked to see more examples of with and without the lens. I can see the “chromal abrasion” that you talk about (the colors seem to alter in the shot), but I would like to see more examples of what the magnification can do. My guess as to the numbers on the side: they are distance estimates. The gear moving the lens up and down is not a telezoom but a focus and the #s are a guestimate of where you need to have the focus for a particular distance, maybe? I know nothing about cameras, but that’s my guess.
I just wanna know what the photos are like!
This video was very helpful. Thanks
Very nice review. I admire how comfortable you were. I’m never comfortable in videos lol. I could be wrong but I wanna say the 16° is in reference to the angle one of the lenses concaves or convexes. It could also be the viewing angle, like how a camera lens will tell you its Field of View.
zoom are locked are variable ?
