      @@mcphoney lol fair. really this stuff all just comes down to quality of the optics, you can get zoom easily enough but it's zoom without the chromatic aberration or distortion that's the trick. I notice they're still trying to flog them today hence I'm here! It's true their lenses are better than some cheapo versions on amazon, but it's really no comparison to some of the new compact cameras out there which can handle 50x zoom which is when things start getting fun!

    To take a sharp pic while using a tripod and a megazoom, use the timer. Set the timer to 10 secs. Focus your frame. Press. Hopefully in the 10 secs the phone will stop shaking and the picture will be sharp. Same thing with regular cameras. Always use timer and tripod to take megazoom pics.

    I like Amazon's "Compare with similar items" chart they provide with nearly everything sold on Amazon. It shows you other monoculars that are about the same size however they have lower advertised magnification. That's an indication this cheap model is exaggerating the magnification. Magnification is determined by: focal length÷objective (or ocular) lens. According to the specs it's 170mm long with an ocular lens of 18mm. That's definitely less than 10x. Still a decent package for only $27.

    • @leebeck3098
      @leebeck3098 3 роки тому +1

      Quality would be degraded by the added optics. It's the same with DSLR cameras. You add more lens, more moving parts and you get a significant downgrade in photo quality. That's why prime lenses are the sharpest you can get (traditionaly) for dslrs because they have no moving parts. Adding the "50x mag lens for the phone" would degrade quality a bit. If you use this kind of phone attachment I would suggest (to get maximum quality) to use a solid tripod. If you are doing video zoomed in like that make sure your tripod is video friendly and has a maneuver arm to quick release and fluidly move the camera. I would also see about using the best quality phone you can for video and that has some sort of stabilization in it.
      Of course you would have a much better experience with a dslr. You can get a nice used zoom lens on adorama.com's used section and camera bodies for as low as $40.

      @@mcphoney ....it's possible then that your stated 50x zoom lens starts from let's call it a ¼x wide angle cos then a reality based 12x magnification compared to a standard accepted lens will be 12 ÷ ¼ which then comes to 48x range . That's assuming that you mean a zoom lens when you say zoom lens . Often and pretty much always folk call a fixed telephoto lens a zoom lens . A zooming lenses is an adjustable focal length lens . The common man will say it is an adjustable magnification lens .

    The product claims 12 power. For $50, it's an okay deal. I got one to read trailer numbers from the dispatch office and it's adequate. I don't have a smart phone but I have a tablet so I ordered the kit. If it actually works with my tablet I would find it a pretty good deal. What people should understand is that the higher the power the more it will shake unless mounted or on a tripod.

    Wonder if you could help, i work in construction and use a laser level so have to align the laser with a pencil mark but i maybe walking up and down a room adjusting the laser until it hits the pencil mark can be time consuming. My question would you know if the cheap £7.00 + monocular's would be good for spotting my pencil mark fo ranges from 6 metres to about 30 metres so i can adjust the laser without walking back and forth. Cheers

    • @mcphoney
      @mcphoney  4 роки тому

      Hi John, Apologies for the 4 month wait on a reply. Being brutally honest I dont think it would make out your pencil mark much at all. Maybe from 6 metres buts that about it id say. You can get better monculars/phone telescopes however for a bit more cash. Ive found a phone telescope with true 36x magnification but cant really afford to buy it. If you search APEXEL 36X phone moncular it should come up on youtube! Hope that helps!

      Hi Paul, so just to confirm this definitely does NOT have thermal imaging and is also NOT 50x magnification. Unfortunately my naivety at the time believed it was but it’s probs only around 10x magnification.
      To summarise it’s a cheap and cheerful device that does magnify but not by 50x. I’ve seen them on wish for about £10 too!

    when a telescope says something like 12X50 it means that it gets 12 times closer, and that the diameter of the lens is 50mm (millimeter). the higher diameter you have, more light will into the lens so the picture will be clear even in dark conditions.

      Citizen X Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed it. I take it for tripods you mean to use with this? I suppose it depends what you are going to use it for. My son loves planes so I took him near the airport along with a cheap 10/12inch tripod and it worked well. (Set it up on a cafe table for him to look through) but I was given that so no idea what it cost. I know you can get small ones off amazon if that’s any help? (Search Velbon cx mini tripod) It has “ok” reviews too. If you are looking for something that goes higher then obviously the price will increase...along with the weight of it! Me personally would just look for any budget version as I expected it to get thrown around in and out of bags, dropped etc! Sorry I couldn’t be more help! Ps. I haven’t tested the velbon cx mini tripod but like I said, seems to be fairly decent!

      @maelwine1 4 роки тому

      I have used tripods with a 60 mm zoom spotting scope. the tripod cost about $64 back in 1986 and weighed a little more than 6 lbs, but for something like this it should it steady, but you have to remember that whatever the maximum zoom of your phone (Zp) times the diameter of your lens ( Dl) squared /divided by the magnification(M) you're using squared would give you an idea of the light gathering power at that combined magnification.
      You can probably find them online at decent prices.
      When the combined magnification of the phone and the lens gets above 30 power , you're gonna wish you had a tripod, usually the heaviest you can economically afford.

    These can be bought for as low as £3.69 on eBay at the time of posing and the connector to attach the camera is different, probably still plastic and they probably changed it so phones that put the cameras in the centre of the phone rather than the top corner can use it.
    The chromatic aberration from your video looks far too much to be useful as a telephoto lens, at least during the day time. My guess is, its probably 2 lenses like a Huygens telescope eyepiece but lets be honest, for the price, you can't fault it.

    3:00 is that a focus dial or a zoom dial? I thought mobile phones are fixed focus that these phone auxiliary lenses are focused on infinity so no need to adjust focus on whatever focal length you're in? And also, at 4:25 the black shadow at the edge is called "vignetting" not a lens distortion. Another thing at 5:13, again that is not lens distortion but a vibration shake caused by slow shutter speed of the phone's camera in low light and high magnification that caused shaky image on the details of the moon.

    Just make sure to never look at the Sun, you can use it to project the sun on a white sheet of paper though.

    I brought one of these for $25.00 from Banggood about 6 months ago. The magnification is around 6X. I have a set of Minolta binoculars that are 7X this is less than that. Basically, they are nothing but a bloody con.

    • @mcphoney
      @mcphoney  Рік тому +1

      I’ll be honest this device was a con! So it’s only around 12x magnification but I do still use it as a monocular. As for only 5x zoom im not too sure. But when the screen goes black (it does it on the iPhone as well) i think the phone can’t cope or is trying to adjust. It’s a bit fiddly but you may have to move the phone/monocular around until it works again. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful!

      I believe Orion telescopes sells a Monocular about 8 power and 42 millimeter (objective lens Diameter). It could cost between 40 to 80 dollars, but the optics shouldn't have any spherical or chromatic aberration to them, no fuzziness at the edge of the view, nor rainbow like colors. Ali Express sells several models from about $13 on up, but the lens quality isn't as good. However because you'd be viewing through a much larger lens than the one built into your phone, the image would be much brighter. Just search online for an 8x 42mm monocular.

      I’ll be honest as a monocular on a steady tripod...it’s very very good. Really would recommend it! I’ve been taking my son to the airport (only 4 years old but loves watching them takeoff/land) and I’ve been taking the monocular with us and it really did work well. For stationary objects it works just as good with out a tripod. The problem occurs once the phone is attached. If you have a very small or very light one then it would be fine but with the iPhone 6s and 7plus the connector clip just couldn’t carry the weight very well. Which is a shame.
