Just bought one of these and today I also bought an iPhone 14 Pro Max 1TB. Together I hope to capture close up of a knife edge and burr for sharpening photos. The good part is I bought the Apexel thinking it was just a cheap gimmick so I'm happy to see this video. Everything arrives next week,
good video, provide more samples will be better, looks like there is a blur around and crisp sharp focus only in middle and making it that close can easily damage the lens by dirt
Switching brightness modes of the LED backlight is barely noticeable. That is, in the second brightness mode it shines almost the same as in the first (the difference in brightness is barely noticeable). Do you also?
What lens can you put on your phone to take pictures or videos of things that are far away? For example, if you’re at a football 🏈 game and want to take pictures of the action?
hi! thanks for the video, i have a question. When you use this lens, can you adjust the zoom (to also be able to take pictures with 50x zoom, 100x, etc. until 200x) or is it just 200x?
My 200x arrived today. Its a dud. But it isn't APEXEL. Has no markings. Others may work. Make sure the brand name is on the the advert. Really hard to set up and finally just delivers what the camera does without it. I was hoping for a working version.
And the same to you! 🥳 Looking forward seeing how your studio upgrade will turn out! 😃 Have your latest sound panel video on my “to watch” list, exited to watch that one 😊
I have an Apexel 100X its very good but this 200X takes you to another landscape, you wouldn’t necessarily know what the subject is, which is ok I suppose.
I have a Samsung S23+ that has a .6, 1x, & 3x lens. If I place this device on the 3x lens does that mean I'll get 600x magnification? Pardon my ignorance but I'm a Chef, not an optics guy. 😁
Don't know why it's so hard to make a device cheaply that gives big zoom with 60cm focal length which is needed for microelectronics work. I'm settling on just zoomin my smartphone and sending it to a TV for a bigger image.
Yes, this is advertised as providing clear images at long distance. It doesn't. It might be helpful for removing slivers from your fingers, but frankly a cheap magnifier would work better. This product is part of the proliferation of junk being marketed on UA-cam. You have to ignore the youtube ads. UA-cam used to be a good place to get information on a wide variety things. Now, Google is just stuffing its pockets and the portal is annoying and in this case expensive. Google's failure to monitor at least the accuracy of ads that it shoves down our throats will ultimately result in the platform going under.
I have reported the infomercial that is on UA-cam of this product advertising it as a high-powered telephoto lens that allows you to zoom to see distant objects - that is not what this nanozoom 200x is. It is actually a 200 power microscope functioning like a macro lens, capable of imaging objects close to the lens only! Buyer beware! However, @RogerAVHansen’s video is quite informative & accurate, the infomercial to which I’m referring starts with long zoom shots of wildlife & later zooms in on athletes on field from up in stadium seating, completely false claims about what this product will do. This product is also properly advertised and sold on Amazon as a 200x power microscope for smart phone, and that’s exactly what it is. It is fixed at 200x power and will not zoom to various powers up to 200x. The infomercial in question is constantly zooming in and out, giving one the idea that this thing zooms variably/telescopically, that it also does not!
If people watch my video they clearly see that it’s NOT a high powered telephoto lens. I even have it in the title of my video that it’s a macro lens 👍🏻
@@RogerAVHansen Thank you so much I shoot product videos and I need to zoom in on some products to highlight their details, sometimes to highlight the brand logo, but when you make the mobile phone very close to shooting video, there is no focus, so I decided to buy a macro lens, but I wanted to know if it It works with the video well or not before you buy it
This lens is for super macro shots, if you look at the examples in the video you see what I mean 😊 There are other lenses with brackets to attach to your phone out there that might work better for your workflow 😊
@@adrianevans4398 Oh no... It's not a matter of opinion ... It's a microscope.. Microscopes are KNOWN to having very very limited focal distance... YOU HAVE BOUGHT THE WRONG PRODUCT.. Now that's a fact.... You must be a millennial.,....

Great review, thanks. Just brought one of these little gizmos on a whim.
good video, provide more samples will be better, looks like there is a blur around and crisp sharp focus only in middle and making it that close can easily damage the lens by dirt
Switching brightness modes of the LED backlight is barely noticeable. That is, in the second brightness mode it shines almost the same as in the first (the difference in brightness is barely noticeable). Do you also?
It is pretty noticeable for me. I'd say 50%.
Some compact cameras like Olympus TG-5, TG-6 also do microscope tricks like these :)
Does it have to be close to object or it can be far from the object? Can you zoom on the moon, make the surface looks clear?
You should watch the video, that gives you the answer
What lens can you put on your phone to take pictures or videos of things that are far away? For example, if you’re at a football 🏈 game and want to take pictures of the action?
Thank you. Can we do microscope videography using this lens?
Yes you can, but you need to be really really close to the subject so regular macro photography/videography is not possible.
Is it a telephoto lens or not. I assume it’s a microscope but many ads show it being used to take telephoto shots which is what I would want it for?
That's what I thought. So far only seen it used as a microscope....
@@frankieelen7238 I’m still hoping someone can answer our question 🙋
I have done some more reading. This lens is Microscope mode only. The Ad made out it was a Zoom Lens, it isn't.... 🥲🥲🥲@@murrybrody5145
I’ve only used it as a microscope… 💁🏼♂️
@@murrybrody5145focus distance is probably too short to use it as a telephoto
200x magnification? I get similar results with a 5x macro lens?
Yeah, me too. Can't see a difference.
@@marilynstrube4970 thank you for confirming, I thought I was being biased or overlooking something.
hi! thanks for the video, i have a question. When you use this lens, can you adjust the zoom (to also be able to take pictures with 50x zoom, 100x, etc. until 200x) or is it just 200x?
Hi! It’s locked at 200x I’m afraid..
the actual zoom is 20x
My 200x arrived today. Its a dud. But it isn't APEXEL. Has no markings. Others may work. Make sure the brand name is on the the advert. Really hard to set up and finally just delivers what the camera does without it. I was hoping for a working version.
Is the zoom adjustable using the touch screen by modifying the zoom of the main camera?
You can always zoom in digitally, but the quality of the image will be affected.
@@RogerAVHansen What about the photos you have taken? Are they taken without any zoom?
@@djamelben19 Yes, they are taken with the regular camera without any zoom.
Thanks for a great video!
Thank you for watching 😃
How much?
Interesting little gadget. Hope you had a fun holiday season and 2022 is treating you well so far. Take care Roger!
And the same to you! 🥳 Looking forward seeing how your studio upgrade will turn out! 😃 Have your latest sound panel video on my “to watch” list, exited to watch that one 😊
can we use these lenses with phones macro cameras?
I didn’t get it to work with the macro function on the phone, the focus wasn’t right. But it could be human error though ☺️
I have an Apexel 100X its very good but this 200X takes you to another landscape, you wouldn’t necessarily know what the subject is, which is ok I suppose.
200x is really close, and it’s like you said, it’s like another landscape that up close ☺️
The advert on Rumble shows them using it as a telescope.
Nice
can you try it on android phone?
Works just the same
I have a Samsung S23+ that has a .6, 1x, & 3x lens. If I place this device on the 3x lens does that mean I'll get 600x magnification? Pardon my ignorance but I'm a Chef, not an optics guy. 😁
As far as I learned from the description, you may get up to 200x including the magnification of your cell phone.
sir does it work with s22 ultra ?
I believe so
Not what I ordered but is what I got, wanted long distance
Is it possible to shoot the eye iris with this macro lens?
That I haven’t tried, but now I need to try it 😄
@@RogerAVHansen did you?
Advertised as being able to zoom regular photos, but cannot do that.
Can I use this in filming video?
Depends on what you’re filming, but yes, you can film with this lens.
Don't know why it's so hard to make a device cheaply that gives big zoom with 60cm focal length which is needed for microelectronics work. I'm settling on just zoomin my smartphone and sending it to a TV for a bigger image.
This waS advertised as being able to bring distance things up close... such as the moon. Can't seem to get it working to my satisfaction on ANYTHING!
Same with me. I'll be returning this!
What's on backside of laptop?
Dongles, external hard drive, portable SSD…

Thank you. Wish I’d watched this and seen your comment before I bought it. I bought it thinking it was telephoto as per the ad I bought it from. Sigh.
I am taking picturess of 10mm coins. what Do you think I should pick up from Apexel - 200mm macro lens or 100mm macro lens ?
I have iphone 13 mini
Is it compatible for iPhone 11?
It’s compatible with any phone with a camera
Ah thanks
This might be a dumb question but, Can you use this to shoot video and have it like a telephoto lens? Or is it only for close up photos
Only for really really close up photos
How to buy
What's the difference between 100x and 200x about the results?
100x closer
@@RogerAVHansen
If using 100x & 200x How many centimeters each is the minimum & maximum distance between the object & the lens?
With the 200x we’re talking about only a couple of millimeters. Never tried the 100x so don’t know about that one..
can this lense replace a microscope?
No
Gracias x la revision antes de comprarlo
Come on... 200x? :))
Is this great for a concert?
No, definitely not
Acorn 4:25? 🤔
battery 120mAh
aint working on my fucking iphone 14 pro
but its working on my moms random phone
fuck this shit
200 is nothing....500 to 800 is what you want. At a fast speed.
Surprising to see that everything loses its color in microscopic lens. Interesting.
Can I make a video with her too?
You can use it to film a video, but you need to get really close to the subject to get it in focus 😊

@@RogerAVHansen Which one would you recommend in this case? :)
I didn't realise you had to get so close to the subject to get any kind of focus. Sent mine back.
