Universal Periscope Lens For Smartphones From Simple Royal Review


#UniversalPeriscopeLensforALLSmartphonesCamera.jpg
There are times when I have a hard time getting a nice photo using my phone because of the angle or the lighting. I try a couple of times and it takes time to finally take the right shot but at times, I give up since it just takes too much time. When I heard about the Universal Periscope Lens for smartphones, I was quite intrigued at how it would work and if it works.

The periscope arrived in a hard plastic case. It contained the following:
- 1 periscope lens
- thicker round magnet for the periscope lens
- 3 x thinner magnets with adhesives

The thinner metal with adhesives is placed at the back of the smartphone. I like that there are extras because I can attach the periscope to different smartphones. It's easy to attach the thin metal ring and fits just right on my Moto G's back camera.

The periscope itself has a thicker magnet which easily attaches to the metal.

I have to position it in a way that the periscope lens is exactly on the back camera so that no shadows are seen. It is easy to position this so that's nice as well.

The periscope can be rotated 360 degrees so that it'll face all angles.

I also like how clear the periscope is. It's like I'm taking a photo with just the back camera of my phone, without the periscope.

The only thing that I noticed is that the periscope lens and the thin metal slowly dis-aligns a bit when I leave the periscope stuck to my phone for a bit longer. It has the tendency to fall down so I only attach it once I feel the need to use it.

I like how easy it is to use the Universal Periscope Lens for smartphones. I can use it on my MotoG and hubby can use it on his Huawei Ascend Mate II as well. I can easily take a picture of something even with a difficult angle and even when I take a photo against the light. I can easily rotate the periscope so I can take a photo of things/people on both sides or something that's above or below my phone.

I do hope this came in a pouch so that I can store it so that it would be protected.

Miggo Stylish Strap & Wrap Camera Strap And Protective Case Review + Giveaway 3/27 US/CAN

I always bring my big Kodak camera when we go on trips, on special occasions, certain activities, and a lot more. It has a plain, black neck strap included when I bought it but my neck does feel the weight of the camera if I wear it for an extended period of time. I also noticed how prone my camera is to accidental bumps when I wear it around my neck.

In their site, I was able to see which of their straps would fit my camera. There is a 3 easy step-by-step procedure to ensure that I got the right type of strap.

When the Miggo Strap & Wrap Camera Strap arrived, I was happy of how pretty it looked. There are 7 available patterns available and I chose the Royal Wings one.

The Royal Wings pattern was very pretty and sophisticated. The material of the Miggo camera strap is soft, smooth and a bit stretchy. The fabric used, which is Neoprene and Lycra, is also thick and it looks durable. The seams are cleanly sewn and the zipper opens and closes easily and smoothly.

The directions included in the box were mainly images on how to put the camera on the Miggo strap properly. There were very little written instructions but it was fine since it was very easy to follow.

I attached my camera by connecting the 1/4" -20 tripod socket, located under my camera body, to the multipurpose nickel-coated steel screw on the Miggo Strap. In order to tighten the screw, I used a coin to tighten it properly.

After ensuring that I successfully and properly attached my camera to the Miggo strap, I tried wrapping the Miggo strap around my camera and it was easy to do. I loved how it looked because it formed a thick cushion for my camera so that I can easily store it in my bag. I worry less since my camera is protected inside my bag.

I tried the Miggo Strap as a sling strap for my camera and it looked really stylish and pretty. I like how thick the Miggo strap is because I wouldn't worry about the strap breaking or snapping in two.

The camera is much more comfortable to wear in a side strap rather than having it hang on my neck.

The Miggo Stylish Strap & Wrap Camera Strap is a nice camera accessory and I love how it looked. I like how it can double as a camera strap and a protective cover at the same time. It has additional features like a camera cover pouch and an extra safety cord for added safety.

If you prefer your camera to hang on your wrist, Miggo also has a Grip & Wrap style which is designed to keep the camera hanging on your wrist.
