Photojojo lens attachments for Nexus 5

Photojojo lens attachments work with the Nexus 5. apparently, the ring around the Nexus 5 camera lens is a magnet and the lens attachments are a perfect fit.
go to the link below for a vid of the attachment and some pics:

i still want Google to fix the camera software (auto focus and shutter speeds, camera app itself, etc), but i'm starting to wonder when Vic Gundotra stated months ago that the Nexus device will have an "insanely great camera"...maybe he was alluding to lens attachments for the Nexus 5?
it kinda makes sense...especially if Google purposely designed the Nexus 5 with a magnetic ring specifically for lens attachments. it's possible they may release their own lens attachments through the Play store.

didn't see a thread posted here about this, but please delete if this is a duplicate.

i don't know how well it will perform combined with the ois. if the sensor and the internal lens moves because of the ois shouldn't also the external lens move? i'm not an expert in photography, but i think that if the sensor moves it probably will be out of the focal point of the external lens leading to crappy photos.

The lens isn't the thing that moves in OIS, it's the sensor. That's what allows for the images to stay stable even when there's movement. So, it shouldn't matter.

That's the G2 camera, not the N5.
I don't know if they use the same OIS technology though.

The lens doesn't move, the sensor does.

Just got my 3 lenses from Photojojo in the mail for my Nexus 5 and the magnets do not work. The magnet in the phone pushes the lense away. So the polarities are wrong on these lenses. Also the metal rings that come with them are crap. They fall off very quickly. Unfortunately I will have to return these lenses. I was looking forward to using them

I just received the marco and fish-eye lenses. The macro works but the fish-eye is the wrong polarity. I called Photojojo and was told the polarity is random and that they can't test to make sure they send a Nexus 5 friendly lens. This is very unfortunate. The macro is just ok. The fish-eye would have been cool. I'm returning both.

These are very expensive. This generic set is probably just as good at a fraction of the price http://amzn.to/IDG1Ti

I ordered the Patuoxun lenses and they the same polarity as my nexus, they don't stick to the camera lens, they repel. Has anyone had any luck with these sticking?

Fisheye lenses

So I've read many mentioning that the ring on our lenses work with some fisheyes to hold the lens in place. Also, I've heard it messes with stabilization. Can someone point me in the right direction?

i bought one set of lenses (fish eye, macro and wide lens).
and yes theoretically, n5 camera supports these lenses as it has a magnet around the camera but i faced some problems (idk if it was a problem with the lens i bought or a design flaw of the phone)
The macro lens attached alright but the fish eye lens couldnt stay in place (as it is bigger and heavier). i corrected that issue by attaching a metal ring around n5 camera and hence the lens's magnet stick perfectly on that metal ring
and i didnt noticed much difference in stabilisation.

What lens kit did you get? I've been looking specifically for a macro lens for the N5 but I can't get a straight answer from anybody on polarity consistency. Here are the lenses I am looking at:

http://www.amazon.com/VicTsing®-Fish-Eye-Magnetic-Easy-Use-connected/dp/B00QIGOKRE/
http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/
The Photojojo lenses are the only ones I have been told have consistent magnet polarity, so they should always work on the N5, but they aren't higher quality than the Chinese knock-offs so their price isn't really justified.
Anyone have a good recommendation?

Clip on lens for Moto G5 Plus | Camera too far off from the edge

The rear camera on Moto G5 Plus is too far off from the top edge of the phone - almost 1 inch or more down. The existing clip on lens I had for my Moto X 2014 does not fit on it any more.
Any suggestions on clip on lens options which will fit Moto G5 Plus?
P.S: Yes, clip on lenses - especially the 10x macro ones - are amazingly good for any decent smartphone camera, if you are into that sort of photography. Pro Tip: Try making a video with a 10x macro clip on lens with whatever phone you have - say, of an ant moving across grass - and you would be amazed!

Got mpow lens from Amazon for RS 800 and they fit perfectly. Have tried the macro and wide angle lens and they are pretty neat.

Can you show us the samples

Hi, m not allowed to post pics or share outside links.
Have send a private message with the link to sample images

Try the photojojo sets. They're really nice, and use magnets to attach instead of clips so they're truly universal

You could try this lens from Amazon. It's adjustable so it may be what you're looking for.

Suitable Lens Kit for OnePlus 2

Does anyone know a suitable lens kit for oneplus 2. Because the camera module is on the upper middle of the device, usual lenses like in the picture cannot clip to the camera.

Hey, I bought one of these for my OnePlus 2 and it fits just fine. Quality is great, image quality is acceptable (have to zoom in to avoid vignetting).

OP3 Filmmaking accesories

Hello, I' here yet again with another set of questions!
I am planning on using my OP3T to make short movies. It has a great powerful camera competing Galaxy S8 and Iphone7 so why not use it, right?
I am currently looking for rather cheap but quality equipment such as mounts and lenses. (I own a tripod, light and mic already).
I came across some really cheap stuff on ebay: Flexible tripod, 5-in-1 lens set, 8-in-1 lens set...
I have no expirience with those lenses... Are those clip ons any good? Could someone point me to the ones you think are the best sets?
I've been searching alot and i don't wanna buy some crap, so any shared expirience will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I have some really cheap clip on lens and they're of really bad quality. The lens used is very bad. If you want good ones maybe buy Aukey or Mpow lens. Btw the wide angle and 12x lens are kinda okay. Fisheye is really bad. Macro was the best out of them.

Sorry I'm afraid your wrong go for the s7 edge if you want to make small films
