Mobile photography company Olloclip has released a new lens and clip system that includes support for the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max, as well as the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10e smartphone models.
Olloclip is offering its new system with the Olloclip StartPack, MacroProPack and ElitePack, a trio of kits offering various lens bundles with the customer's choice of clip. As well, the company has launched a new Pocket Telephoto 2X Essential lens, relaunched the Macro 10X Essential lens, and updated its Starter Kit to include the Pivot Grip stabilizer, an ultra-light tripod and the BSR Bluetooth Shutter Release.
With this new lens system, according to Olloclip, any of the lenses can be used with any clip, including a new one that'll be released in December for the iPhone 7 through the iPhone 8 Plus models.
The Olloclip ElitePack retails for $129.99; it includes the applicable clip for the Samsung Galaxy S10 or iPhone 11 model, as well as the Pocket Telephoto 2X Essential lens and the two-in-one Fisheye / 15X Macro Essential lens. The Olloclip StartPack, meanwhile, retails for $79.99 and the MacroProPack starts at $199.99, each respectively offering Start lens models and various macro lenses.
OlloClips business is making clips, unfortunately not so much lenses. They don't need to focus on lens quality because their biggest activity is to make sure no other manufacture infringes on their patent of having a clip that slide over the top edge of the phone. this is the reason there are so little competition, even though companies like moment and Zeiss make far better glass. ;-)
Oooooooooh, my god, how could they do soething uglier than the i11 itself!!!!! that's despicable, you would be ashamed to make a selfie with that "thing"! Blurb!
I have been using the Olloclip lens since they were a Kickstarter project. I love them, easy to carry around and install, I use their case, rather than going caseless. I have the iPhone 11Pro (traded up from X)... I love the 11Pro and looking forward to the clip and case arrival.. the added reach of telephoto, ultra-wide.. etc.. a blast...
If you have a smartphone with three rear cameras/focal lengths to choose from, are these add-ons more interesting or less interesting than they were before?
well, it actually is a very interesting question. My guess is that there are people who would say they are even more interesting, as they can actually multiply the "focal lengths" or looks you can get from your phone. Others (me included) would say that if i already have a ultra-wide, a "normal" wide and a semi-portrait one, having all these clips an lenses in your pocket is getting too cumbersome for the advantage provided.
True, once you start carrying a couple of extra lenses, you're defeating the concept that makes the phone camera good... quick, pocketable and always ready.
I like having the phone camera, but if I want to start worrying about additional lenses, it's much easier to shove my Olympus TG in jacket pocket. Totally self contained (lens does not extend), water and dustproof.
iPhone 11 pro 3 cams are great and certainly lessens the need for clip on lenses but consider that they still don't do macro and that with a 2x teleconverter it would reach 100mm equivalent. I use the Ztylus iPhone6 case plus revolver 3 lenses and polarizer which is removable, light and certainly easier to carry than my OMD e-M 10 + 14-150mm zoom + Raynox M250 macro converter + 9mm f8 cap lens. Sure IQ doesn't compare in most situations but still is usable.
Just checked their Website. They only provide "Compatible cases" for later model iPhone models. No Samsung / Huawei options. The cases themselves look rather weak.
Most don't, and the very best are still extremely limited. Most have two primes at like 28mm and 56mm. Some add 16mm to that. The best (currently only two) add one around 130mm.
Yet, I have a pocket compact from many years ago that's 24-720 continuous.
