This is great for traveling, or seeing things from a distance. I love adding things to my travel collection!This is a single hand holding telescope lens barrel. It allows you to see a circular field of view. It’s toggle lens that adjusts with just a turn of the hand. Soon everything is in focus far, far away. You can see thing that you can not see with the naked eye. Do not point the lens into the sun. It can damage the lens, and be hard on your eyes.Make sure if you are traveling to keep it in a dry, well ventilated spot. Otherwise steam can build up in the lens.In order to keep it clean they send a small cleaning cloth. The cloth can also be used for other lenses if you need it. Do not use other rags, or paper towels to clean the lenses, as they may scratch them. Do not take the lens apart to try to clean the inside. One or two drops of alcohol can be added to the lenses to help with the cleaning process.On a phone I did find it cumbersome to put on. First I had to put the brace on, then I had to try and put the lens on. It’s all kind of heavy for a phone.The directions are not super clear. They do not give step by step directions. It’s more just what you can do, and what you can not do with the lens.Design wise it goes with many other electronics. It's black. There isn't other color options. I find this to be just fine considering that most electronics on the market are black, grey, or white.I do wish it was made in the USA. It is made in China. Many products are made in China to save on cost though.I got this product for free in exchange for an honest review. I am a blogger that states my true opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works with iPhones!

Many people have written that they get a halo on their iPhone with this product. All you have to do is zoom in on your iPhone to get it to work. You don't have to carve out the holder or anything else, zoom in so you don't have a wide angle picture.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Construction. Not As Advertised.

I returned it.

The good part of the purchase is the monocle. And that's what it should be used as - not a telephoto lens!

The thing is well constructed and heavy. What gets one star is the cheap and poorly made universal bracket that comes with it. There is no way to get it to line up easily to get a good sharp picture as the lens is heavy and continually needs refocusing. And in my order's case the bracket didn't close properly around the len's base so it was not able to align properly with the camera. I returned it.

Do not waste your money on this as a telephoto lens for your cell phone.

This product is okay. The good: the lens gives a good zoom, seems sturdy and the clip is sturdy too.
The bad: for photo taking I think this product is not good. It is hard to line up the camera of my iphone6 with the lens and even when I do, the picture is not full frame, but only a small circle. See the attached photo. For the quality of photos this takes it's barely worth carrying it around.
Conclusion: if you want this just for playing around its fine, but if you're hoping to up your mobile photo game, definitely not the tool for you.

Probably one of the best attachable phone camera lenses you can find. It zooms very well. The only unfortunate thing is that the directions came in only Chinese, but it's fairly simple to figure out.

If you need this for your distance pictures it might be really handy. So far, I have not used it, as I have a much better camera and this just seems awkward to me.

1.0 out of 5 stars STOP - DON"T BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE ANY EXPECTATIONS
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2016

10 years of AMAZON and this is the first piece of absolute junk...worthless and not as described! First of all know that I have a professional photographer on staff and he worked with this for an hour. Using on both an IPhone and a Motorola Droid. All you'll get is about a 2 inch circle on your screen...if you want to have it fill the rectangle then you have to digitally zoom, which defeats the entire purpose, The end shots, or FB LIVE is worthless to us as a company, and we can't figure out that it would have any worth to an individual just having fun. It's really cheaply made plastic, cumbersome, and on it's way back to AMAZON. Thank goodness for PRIME! Check my other reviews, I don't burn products. This one is beyond bad. It comes in 2 boxes. The box for the Lens was not meant for this purpose, then someone designed a holder to have it hold your cell phone. Totally missrepresented. ON IT'S WAY BACK.
