As a result of my tests, I determined that this lens is a waste of money. The image quality was subpar, producing blurry and soft images even when using a tripod. The only positive aspect of the lens is its affordability, but that doesn't justify its poor performance.
I'm sure it's a good lens but it doesn't give you a full field of view if you want to use it on an iPad. This gives a 360 degree view, not what I needed for the video I was going to use it for. I wish I had known that before buying.
I did not receive the wooden box. Maybe it's the lens? I do not know. It has mediocre clear recording at maximum zoom. I think that's why the price is low. You'll get superduper vignetting until you zoom in at least 1/2 your camera zoom. There isn't a big one. Think that's how it should be. I dig 3x instead of 2x. I can see people hundreds of feet away in their living room windows. Shut up, I'm not a beep. This is good for nature reserves and places that are inaccessible. Tip: tripod = required
