YOPO Mobile 3 in 1 Camera Clip-On Lens Is Easy & Provides Amazing Pictures!

 Three Great Lenses for Awesome Mobile Photography

 

As a photographer, there are times when I am on the go and may not have all of my camera equipment with me. However, I do have my cell phone with me. With so many cell phones now having such high resolution lenses, I have always thought how nice it would be to have a cell phone that had the ability to either have multiple lens attachments, or have a lens with more zoom capabilities.

While the technology is not there for that (at least not that I have found yet), has developed this great new accessory that can be used with  Smart phones, iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Android tablets. The idea with this is that you have a clip on device with a lens holder at the end. You then can screw in the lens at the end. The  comes with three lenses: A wide angle lens that expands the native viewing angle by 4X,it can enlarge 75 percent of the vision; A Macro lens and a Fish-eye lens. One thing to note: the macro and fish eye lens are screwed together,which used for fish-eye function. while the small lens that print Macro is macro lens (so do not be alarmed when you find only two lenses in the box – or so it seems).

I tried out all of the lenses and found them to be powerful. I did find that you do need to get very close to get a great macro shot. The people at YOPO say that you should keep 1cm distance from the shooting object as if you are too far away the object being photographed will lose its’ definition.

Contents:

1 x Fish Eye Lens: Approximately 180 Degree field-of-view, screw on to the macro lens as a precision setWorks like an ultra-wide angle lens. With it, your phone lens will capture rounded images instead of square ones.

1 x Wide Angle lens lens: Expands the native viewing angle by 4X.the maxium angle:140 degree high quality technical image effect.

1 x Macro lens? The macro incredible focal distance of 1/2″(13mm) for some amazing 10X marco shots.
Package included:

1x Super Wide Lens

1x Fisheye Lens

1x Macro Lens

1x Lens Clip

1x Cleaning Cloth Bag


If you love photography as I do and taking pictures with your cell phone, the was a great accessory that will really change the type of pictures that you can now capture online!

Jill-E Designs Offers ( @JilleDesigns ) The Perfect #Camera Back For Any #Imagelogger #Dad2Summit

February 19, 2015 by dadofdivas 2 Comments

Jill-E-Designs-Messenger-Camera-Bag
 photo disclaimer_zpsaa1cb05b.jpg

 

As you know by now I take a ton of pictures and working with Samsung as a part of their Imagelogger program I have quite a bit of equipment too. That being said, the camera bags that I have are ones that now are too small for what I have. Thus, I was very excited to learn about a new company called Jill-E Designs, that has a ton of great bags, and for me camera bags too.

I was lucky enough for Jill-E Designs to send me what they call a Jack Camera Messenger Bag, but this messenger bag is bigger than any that I have ever seen, and is made directly for cameras. When I received it, all I could say was “Wow, this is awesome”. For a photographer, I want a camera bag that is not only safe for my equipment, but also something that looks good too, and this did both!Jill-E-Designs-Messenger-Camera-Bag

The Jill-E Designs bag has space for everything. As you can see in my pictures, it is completely large enough for lenses and even for multiple cameras (or at least it was for me. You have some flexibility on the inside to move some of the velcro sections around. On the outside of the bag you also have some great zipper sections for small items and even a section that could fit a smaller sized, 15″ laptop too. This was too small for my laptop so I ended up bringing my trusted backpack for that, but otherwise everything else fit well in this bag. You do have to realize that the bag is larger than typical messenger bags due to what you are transporting. That being said though I did not find it to be too heavy or bulky and it fits well in the overhead container of an airplane.

I took the Jill-E Designs bag with me for the first time to the Dad 2.0 Summit in San Francisco to show it off to some of the other Dad Bloggers that I knew there as well as to some of the other Imageloggers in attendance and all were quite impressed. While the price of this may be a bit higher than some smaller camera bags, the quality and style is definitely worth it!
