Review on iMicro Q2 Camera Lens for iPhone - Mini Microscope for iPhone Only | 100-800X Portable Microscope Camera | Pocket Microscope for Kids and Adults | Macro Micro Lens for iPhone by Jim Agosta

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little lens for the money.

I give this lens 5 stars because of the quality of the lens. There are a few issues which I'll address below, but the lens itself is very nice and easy to use. The built in suction cup allowed me to quickly attach the lens to my phone's camera. It's very easy to set up and it stays on the phone with no issues. I managed to get some pretty decent shots with very little practice I've attached. Two slide masters were included. The third is a turkey feather that I've had since this spring. Image quality is surprisingly good and I was surprised at how well it performs even when shooting by hand. There are a few issues with the included Android software. No images were uploaded from the software to the phone's memory and I couldn't find them on the phone (the ones I included were screenshots of the software's UI). Apparently this is not an issue with the Apple software version and their customer service informed me that they will fix it for the Android version as soon as possible. I've also found that I can take pretty decent pictures with the phone's built-in Photos app, which of course saves them to my photo library with ease. I've seen this is a really cool product for science projects with kids.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
