SmallRig 4737

I ordered this to use on a iPhone 17 Pro Max which is also equipped with a Fjorden camera control. ThismeansImhave a choice use the Olens with the original Apple camera software or Fyorden an Leica software. The lens did take a little experimentation in both hardware and software to find the best combination with the software and fitting to the phone and my preference today is ysenthw Fjorden software and set it to manual focus. That means starting to focus using the lens ring and fine tuning with the software. As others have noted the high degree of magnification does mean that it can be hard to hand hold but at least the camera software will not let the shutter be released until it has a reasonably focused image. The only minus is that I specifically wanted a lens that would connect to the phone via a T mount as the Fjorden IPhone case has T mounts on the lens surrounds. It does work but is a very loose fit. This is not an issue with some other add on lenses I use so seems to be an issue with this lens. I have resorted to using the clamp which holds the lens on the camera but that also has some issues. Firstly it only just opens enough to fit over the 17 Pro Max in a case and secondly something which is an annoying issue. Fitting the clamp tends turn on the camera's video light. If this was a lens I used often I think the small issues could become annoying but for occasional use I think I can live with them but wish I could get the lens to fit reliably straight into the mount on the case rather than have to use the clamp.

Lente fijo de buena resolución óptica. Su aumento de 8x aún permite hacer fotografía bien encuadrada y enfocada sin trípode, siempre y cuando haya buena luz (práctico). Trípode y estuche, de excelente diseño y calidad, muy bonitos. Lo que no funciona muy bien: estuche demasiado grande para portarlo. Sistema de lente de tres componentes (lente, grip ajustable para el móvil y anillo con rosca para el trípode) no tan rápido de armar, además no se puede guardar ensamblado en el estuche, pues todas las piezas deben estar sueltas. Atención: el grip cubre y afecta los botones laterales del iPhone (se activan por la presión del grip, incluida la llamada de emergencia). No es tan fácil instalar el conjunto sin una mesa de apoyo (ideal a 3 manos); las dos tapas del lente, en particular la trasera (muy pequeña, de caucho), se suelta fácilmente y se puede perder. Por lo anterior, no lo puedo recomendar para fotografía de campo que requiera agilidad (como fotografía de fauna o deporte) ni para fotografía rápida. Excelente, si hay el tiempo y la paciencia para jugar con él.

Werde ich testen. Verpackung und Haptik ist schon mal super

Brilliant piece of quality precision instrument!

I am amazed at how well built this kit is. It is made with high quality product and built to last. First, the overall package is great. It includes a storage pouch that is semi rigid and has molded pockets for the lens and tripod. It was a good experience while unpacking this kit. Then there is the kit itself. Everything to get going is included here. The lens, the tripod, and mount for the phone. The mount is designed to fit multiple phones. We use this with an Iphone 14 Pro Max, and had no issue. The more annoying part is the camera on the phone, since the phone switches between three lenses depending on the zoom/wide camera. Once mounted to the right lens on the back of the phone, the images are clear and im able to focus and zoom with the manual lens as needed. This just expands the capability of my phone for taking pictures from a distant. Everything is made is made with metal alloy and there is no sign of cheap plastic being used here. Definitely will last for a while. Overall, it is a high entry price to pay but with the quality and level of details of this kit, it really belongs in the higher end and almost pro level product. Very satisfied with this kit!
