Review: Macro Lense For Smartphones W. Bluetooth Shutter Release

There's a bunch of varieties / similar clip on lenses out there, but this one stood out for me.

PROS
- Aluminum lens housings
- Glass lenses (2 @ 15x)
- Dust cap(s)
- BLUETOOTH shutter release.
- $20 CDN ($15 US) incl delivery
- Delivered in 9 days

CONS
- phone must be out of it's case
- takes a bit of fiddling to get the lens centered and flush to the camera
- depending on camera location there is a gap that allows light in from the background (easy fix)
- real closeups make lighting a challenge

This was a purchase from that "overseas sight" and I am unsure if it's ok to post the link (PM if you want - not all the listings are the same).

Photos were taken with a Samsung S20, propped up on a book, lighting was ambient with an LED flashlight at a sharp angle. Took about 5 minutes to get the bluetooth connected, grab a coin, and start clicking. If I spent 20 minutes setting up a proper base & lighting I am sure the quality of the photos would improve a lot.
