Great Telephoto Lens for Tablet too!
By Amazon Customer Hays on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2021
I received the Apexel APL-JS28X 28X telephoto lens as a gift from my husband to use on my smartphone for bird watching photos. I know he did his research before purchasing. The telephoto lens was easy to attach to my phone with the metal clip provided. It also came with a nice lens bag, lens cover, fixing ring for a tripod, rubber fender for monocular and cleaning cloth. Due to the 28X telephoto lens, I found that it would be best to have a tripod for a clear picture since it is hard to keep the phone still with the magnification. What is nice is that the telephoto lens also came with Bluetooth Remote Shutter for when the smartphone is on the tripod, with the telephoto lens to eliminate shake, to ensure a clear photo. I also attached the telephoto lens to my tablet for a larger view of the frame. It worked wonderfully. Without currently having a tripod (to purchase separately) I was able to take photos and video of objects with much larger view of the subject matter with my tablet. Since my tablet is thin, I also used a small piece of vinyl (faux leather) to keep the metal clip snug against the front of the tablet. It is a great, easy to use, telephoto lens for either a smartphone or tablet.

NOT FOR IPHONE 12
By jsey on Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2023
After trying every possible way to connect this setup to line up properly with my phone, I have to say that this adapter is a complete FAILURE and a nightmare for me. While shooting it slid down and off the phone even though I removed my case it would not stay in the proper mount to even play with the focus. The rubber rubbed off and onto my iPhone screen and seemed to serve no real purpose. The design of this adapter is very flawed because of the Angled top which adds to the frustration of getting this device to mount properly enough to line up with either camera lens of my iPhone 12. I tried putting silicone under it to maybe create some stability that didn’t work. It ROCKS even when tighten to its fullest. I’m extremely disappointed with this adapter. The lens didn’t have chance to be properly reviewed because without a good adapter the lens is USELESS. UPDATE after constantly trying every way to get this lense to stay on my iPHone12, I succeeded but the quality of the photos was a GREAT disappointment. They were never clear and you can’t adjust focus for detail. For some reason my lense had spots in it when trying to do a close up of a flower or a water feature video. Not satisfied with this purchase and considering sending it back because it just isn’t as good as some of it’s competitors that are cheaper in price range.
