Never thought much of lenses like these but having seen your results from Iceland it's made us really think about them! Really cool to hear they're glass also which is a huge plus! Love them! - Thomas
Yeah, really handy to cary around instead of a full DSLR. They obviously are limited by you phones quality, but it's great options without a lot of weight or bulk. /J
I have been curious about these lenses. I'm very happy you did this Vlog on them. I love it that both of you love them because that means they pass the nerd test (no offense Josh) and they also pass the non-nerd test (no offense Ash). Those are important test in our household as that is who we are LOL. Any way, we will definitely check them out. Blessings.
Haha. EXACTLY! Yeah I can say without reservation that these are pretty dang good lenses. Of course I used to use and repair $120,000 lenses and these don't compare ;) but for smartphones they are fantastic! /J
Thank you, you two for the info, I saw you using these lens and was curious about it. I'm already a fan of them.
Nice! yeah I hope it was informative enough! /J
We enjoy your channel and have been keeping up with your travels since we discovered you. We have been working our way through your past adventures. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
Awe! That so nice to hear. Thank you so much and thanks for going back and checking our old stuff as well as the new. We sure have some lil gems from last year. haha :) -Ash
you sure made me want those lenses...your description made the use of the lenses seem so simple! thanks!
I am glad that our honest review came across as just that. -Ash
Wow! I had no idea that lenses even existed for Smartphones. You did such a great job of showing them off throughout Iceland, and in this video, that Mike and I just had to order some for ourselves :-) We can hardly wait for them to arrive so we can start using them....
Surprise!! They exist and are awesome! 😆 -Ash
SUCH a good video! First off, you guys just make me happy :) Second... you totally sold me on these lenses! Game changer! I can't wait to try them
Thanks Kim! :) Glad you enjoyed the video! And yes, these little guys are worth it IMO. /J
I like the portability of these little lenses. How wonderful! The telephoto I think is my favorite.
Your footage from Iceland was amazing and those lenses made a huge difference. I think they are so cool!
:) -Ash
I love that these lenses are so small and fit on to your smartphone! I would get either the wide angle pro or the fisheye.
Nice choice! /J
Did not know these existed until your vlog..... So exciting to learn about new items for the smart phone... Thank you
We had no idea. When we did hear about them we were super excited and new they would be awesome for our travel. -Ash
You guys really made me understand how these work and what they do!! I really enjoy watching you guys!!
+Rosabel Ibarra The best feedback you could have gave us. Thank you so so much ❤️ -Ash
All of the lenses look awesome! For sure the long distance and the close up would be my favorites.
😀👍🏼
Great product to have when you don't have a camera and only have your cell phone. Amazing pics that you can now take with your phone that look like you have a real camera !!
Its so convenient and great for anyone. -Ash
Love the wide angle lens ... it would be perfect for those mountainscapes of the Alps on this years holiday! Loving the vlogs ... keep up the great work :)
So cool! I was curious when seeing the videos in the car as to how you did it but now it's been revealed I'll definitely be considering getting these! Love the honest review too
I'm glad its clear. :) -Ash
wow- never heard of them till your trip, I loved the review- very seriously thinking of getting this...
For sure. If you take photos with your phone... boom baby. /J
Your photos looked amazing from Iceland so I would love to try these lenses for my travel photos!
Yes!! They are the best for travel. Light and easy to pack. -Ash
Entered🎊🦋🦋🦋📱Awesome chapters in your novel of travel so far guys!! Loving it, and LOVING the camera shots!! I love the clarity and the close up details with the Pixter👌🏼 . Thank you guys so much for taking us with you!! 🎒🐧🐋📷
Thanks Kerrie! :) We love sharing all the adventures with you. Thank you for watching! /J
I love that these lenses are easy to pack and take with you anywhere! I would use these so much if I had them. The wide angle pro would be my go to I think. These are the coolest things !! Love all your shots with the lenses in Iceland 😊
Yeah!! They are perfect for travelers like you guys.:) -Ash
This is the first iPhone compatible wide angel lens I've seen that doesn't have the black circle effect! Great review guys!!! ~Pam
Exactly. Its awesome. -Ash
These look amazing! The wide angle pro would hands down be the perfect Iens for my iPhone 7. Thanks for the review!
You're very welcome! -Ash
These will be great with my iPhone. Nice review. I like how the lenses can clip on your clothes.
I like the ease of use and versatility. All are very cool but I particularly like the wide angle lens.
Agreed! /J
This is the first time I've heard about these lenses. Great review! So much easier on the go than carrying a camera bag with extra lenses. ~ Pam
Thank you😘
I like that they are clip on, unlike the Moment lenses...so much more convenient! I would choose the wide angle probably, but I love the polarized filter that pixter offers too!
I LIKE THE WAY YOU CAN CAPTURE FOCUSED CLOSE UPS
These really look like some useful and functional lenses, easy to maintain, as well. :) my favorite, by far, is the wide angle pro
They look so easy to use. Ready to use the wide angle one to get great pics of buildings and landscapes.
YES!!!!👍🏼 -Ash
I love that they are so versatile, easy to look after, small enough to clip on clothing and also super easy to use. I'm just starting to understand how to use my new camera (Panasonic g7) but I also like using my IPhone too, these lenses would be so good to have on the spur of the moment, really cool. The lense I would pick is the Pixter wide angle pro as it would really work well with my phone. 😀
Exactly. These are perfect to whip out and take great photos with. -Ash
They seem convenient and simple to use. I would pick all of them, but probably the telescopic lens is my favorite.
Yeah. That one has been so good. -Ash
Fish eye and macro lenses are amazing to collect magnificant memories with the ones that you love!!
Exactly. Thats what we're saying haha -Ash
great review, looking for a couple of lenses for my holiday in a few weeks this helped a lot, entered the competition too.
Thats amazing. They will work perfectly. -Ash
I was thinking of buying extra lenses for my smartphone but was not able to make a decision about it. Thank You guys for the review I will check it out again and probably buy Pixter.
Thats awesome! Im glad we could share with you before you made the decision. I think you'll really love them. -Ash
Really nice.Makes taking picture a lot easier and more fun with smartphones.
Great video guys.Greetings.:)
+levisk1210 thanks so much. I love that we can share something fun we love with others:)
can it be used in phone that have 2 camera's ?
I like that they are glass, and like Ashley I also learned something about lenses :D Super Fish Eye
Awesome! Love that we can share what we learn to teach others. ❤️ -Ash
I'm looking for lenses that will help with smartphone photography because I don't want to lug a DSLR around! Pixter's products are really tempting because they look so high quality. I'd love to see more sample images from these lenses, in particular the Wide Angle Pro!
This is such a genius tool for a phone! Macro one looks fantastic because I love getting detailed shots!! May have to try and invest in it. Do y'all have the ones that aren't pro in order to compare pro vs. normal to see if it's worth the extra cost for pro?
+Jenn O. We did not get the normal versions of the lenses. I do believe on the site they show the differences. I do know the normal fisheye has a black ring around the photos and the pro one doesn't. That's why I would pic the pro fisheye over the normal one.:) -Ash
Hi Guys, great video! Do these work with a case on the phone or do you need to remove case? thanks!!
+Laurence Durnell thanks!! It works on most cases but if you have a super thick one it might not fit quite right. /J
Cool. Thanks!
They look amazing! I'd buy the macro and the super wide lenses.
👍🏼😍
So Cool!!! I need to get one of these sets!
You'll love it. -Ash
I couldn't pick just one - love the Pixter Macro Pro and the wide angle lens! I have struggled with getting close up pictures with my smart phone! I also like how easy it looks to use them, just a clip!
I know! Its amazing. :) -Ash
I like everything about these lenses, and "I WANT ALL OF THEM"!
Ben good choice. Hahah -Ash
Small, easy to travel with and used. Fish eye all the way. Good videos!
Thanks Man! -Ash
These look fantastic, so small and easy to take with you anywhere for quality photos !! I'd prob choose the wide angle, fingers crossed 🤞😉
Good Luck! -Ash
You guys are in Iceland, I'm sure there are gorgeous natural scenes and landscapes out there, and yet all of the sample shots are from the inside a hotel lobby...
I am deeply impressed with the quality of the photos you took with these lenses! These would be an awesome way to add that professional touch to our mission trip photos and videos.
+Josh Harrington Oh man. That sounds awesome. I would love to see them if you did do this. :)You could also take more amazing photos of your beautiful and cute lil tyke. Its a win in many ways. haha. I would love Love LOVE to sit down and have coffee with you two. -Ash
I mean 3;) -Ash
So cool. I want these for my Android phone!!
Yeah they will work! -Ash
wow such a good video! ciao from Italy🌍
these lens certainly seem good additional accessories to enhance photography experience with iphone. I will give them, a try!
Thats awesome. I really think you'll like them. -Ash
Dear, thanks for the review, but you did not indicate about the quality of the photo after and before adding the lense,
Cool, I just started using Instagram and finally became a Patreon!
I saw that! Thank you man! /J
can you use it on ipad to? greet
I love that she smile at every video :)
I have so much to be happy about. -Ash
Ahh....her smiles.... she looks at him like Juliet.... and the boy is, none other than......
I do photography, but sometimes you can't always bring your camera along so I have to use my phone and the vast difference between the phone camera and a DSLR is embarassingly vast lol. It would be awesome to win these, it would be a dream! Love watching your videos!
+Grey DLT Thank you so much! -Ash
I am totally convinced and it is on my economic plan list to take one of these, 😛
Wow the pack is so cool to make different photos (and I love photooooo!s)
Haha Awesome!
WOW! Really interested in the SUPER FISH EYE! What beautiful shots I could get on my trip to Ethiopia! X
OMG YES!! I would love love to see those. Do you have an IG? -Ash
WΔY ΔWΔY I haven't gone yet :D I go in September! A 6 month project with Oxfam GB! I can't wait! X
Id love to get that Wide angle and fish eye lenses. I'm interested to see how they hold up on travel for me too !
Thats awesome. Where are you traveling?? -Ash
WΔY ΔWΔY Milan, Florence, Rome, Venice, Interlaken and Lucerne in August.
This was really helpful and I would love to have a set! Thanks for doing a giveaway!

I like the tripod. I love selfies! So I would use that to take selfies by myself also would be able to get better ones with my kids!
Haha Thats great. -Ash
I love how compact they are.
So easy to carry anywhere. -Ash
Hi am thinking of buying these lenses, I'm sure I saw a discount code when I entered your competition..... I might have dreamt it though?! Anyway, do you guys know of a discount code for these lenses? Also, is there a huge difference between the basic and pro lenses? Thank you x
I'm pretty sure the discount code is SUMMER
It's a summer sale! /J
WΔY ΔWΔY ah thank you for replying, there seemed to be a discount on all of their products anyway which was great, I bought their started pack and a mini tripod 😀
Woop woop! Nice! I'm sure you will love them. Super useful even if only for selfies. :p /J
Wow such a good review! Ciao from italy🌍
From Italy!! Amazing. Thanks so much. -Ash
I'm going to be traveling/studying abroad for a year and I'm definitely considering getting some kind of smartphone lenses to take pictures and videos rather than pack tons of camera equipment with me
It really is a great idea and will save you so much more room to pack more shoes. lol -Ash
I really need the wide angle one... Don't know where it is available...
www.pixter.co/en/pro-lenses/28-telephoto-pro
Super convenient and easy to use.
Yes!
Very nice lenses, especially 60mm telephoto lens😍. But it is very expensive due to the exchange difference.😢
Could get a use out of either but the Pixter Wide Angle Pro would be most useful to me
Nice! Great choice. -Ash
Interesting. I'm still working at getting a stabilizer.
A stabilizer would be awesome! /J
Amazing lenses, I would pick rhe pixtre wide angle pro
Nice choice! /J
i was actually looking into some
Well, You know what I like then! (And these aren't the first brand we've tried) /J
Wow. They look great!
Just imaging the cool whale shots you can get with the telephoto. 😉 -Ash
WΔY ΔWΔY. That'll be gr8
Great Lenses. Bravo yourself. Serdar
The opportunity to take better smart phone pictures. Thank you for new and exciting info... Either one would be a welcomed edition to my smart phone.
😆
The wide lense looks so cool.
👍🏼
These can fit for dual camera mobile?
+veeresh sajjan it will only work on one camera at a time, but it should fit just fine.
Hmmm... The giveaway page doesn't work for my browser but there are some good tips on that page! Thanks i bougt a chep lensses plastic ones cant find a glass quality ones around so if theres a good soul arround that what to make a amateur cellphone enthusiastic photo taker contact with me :)
these lenses gonna make phone perfect
They really do! -Ash
The quality seems excellent.
It really really is. We have loved them. -Ash
I recently bought smartphone lenses which are really bad, so I'm excited about this giveaway! I'm a passionate smartphone photographer, so I could really use them 😃 hope my luck is with me this time, cause I've never won a giveaway in my life!
Good luck Nils! Yeah, smartphones have got really good recently too. /J
I'd pick the wide lens because I take a lot of nature pics and it's so frustrating when half the beauty isn't there.
Yes!! I completely understand:) -Ash
I think its really amazing specially the macro pro but between fisheye and wide angle pro I would choose Pixter wide angle pro
Good Choice! -Ash
lenses look cool
I've been wanting a telephoto lens for my phone so I can get higher quality pics of UFOs. :-P
Love you guys
hola....me gustan mucho sus videos....aparte de que son una pareja muy simpatica.....solo me imagino lo que dicen .....no hablo ingles....podrian hacer unos videos con sub. en español?...saludos desde mexico
Thank you! There are some videos with Spanish subtitles (mostly in Mexico) but sadly not enough. /J
gracias por contestarme.......en realidad dije que no contestaban comentarios, porque asi hiban a contestar el mio.......y funsiono.....me da gusto y agradecido por contestarme....soy fan de ustedes.....muchas gracias.....un abrazo para ambos.....en realidad me agradan mucho
Simply a great idea.
It really is especially for travelers. -Ash
The Wide Angle Pro 😍😍
Nice choice. -Ash
Its really nice..
😬
Wow good video!
Thanks!
Umm- you guys are adorable
The wide angle one!
My fav! -Ash
Fish eye. On a smart phone it's hard at times to capture more of the background
Exactly:) -Ash
I would pick the macro lense :-)
:) You could take some awesome shots! -Ash
seems legit :))
I do not own a proper camera. Therefore I have only my smartphone left to take pictures. With those lenses I see a chance to take high quality pictures without spending money on an expensive camera which can take away a lot of space and weighs a lot more than a lense as well. That's why I would like to win win the 'Pixter Wide Angle Pro'. Thank you so much for your videos and the giveaway.Greetings from Germany :)
I love this.:) Exactly what we were trying to get across. -Ash
I'm gonna buy that
+saeideh rad which one? Or are you going for the pro pack?
