iPad Telephoto Lens will take close-ups with your tablet

If you thought people were making fun of you for taking photos with your iPad before, just wait till you try on the iPad Telephoto Lens.
|
There is something about seeing a tablet take photos that just brings on the giggles. Pair that with a telephoto lens and you've got a one-way ticket to lol-ville.
While the iPad's camera may not stack up to the iPhone's 8-megapixel unit, the latest iPad has an f/2.4, 5-megapixel camera that can do the trick if you left your iPhone at home. Some people even prefer using the iPad to take photos because its screen makes for a huge viewfinder. The tablet camera has become ubiquitous enough to necessitate a ban from some concert venues where music fans are frustrated by the large form factor used to capture concert footage.
If you can stand the snickers, the iPad Telephoto Lens will let you zoom in super close with your tablet. The accessory screws into a mount for your iPad 3, 4 or Mini and can be easily removed for storage. The lens for iPad 3 and 4 is 10x zoom while the lens for the 5MP Mini is 12x. Both cost $25 from Photojojo.

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
