Often times, the best camera for the job is the one you have with you. When I look through our collection of photos, the vast majority were taken using my iPhone. We own a fancy DSLR camera, but it is impractical to carry the large camera, and all of its lenses, everywhere we go. Like most people, our cell phone is the default camera because it is portable and convenient.
At a few events, I noticed that some people were using lenses attached to their cell phone camera, and I was intrigued by the idea. Cameras on modern smartphones, like the iPhone, can take incredible photos. But they are often one trick ponies. You can get a good photo at a set distance, but they can’t give you wide angle shots or close up shots like you can get by using a special lens on a DSLR.
HITCASE has a selection of lenses that fit in your pocket and can quickly attach to your phone to create great photos. The TrueLUX Lenses attach to the HITCASE protective cases (Splash, Crio, Shield LINK and PRO) for an easy on/off whenever you need a special lens for a shot.
I was impressed with how easy it was to use the lenses and how convenient it was to carry the lenses along in a jacket pocket. The protective case worked just like any other case for your phone. When it came time to use the HITCASE lenses, they simply snapped into place with strong magnets that held the lens on the back of my phone. And with that easy step, my iPhone could suddenly take incredibly close photos with high resolution.
I also like that the lenses are affordable. The latest release, the HITCASE TrueLUX Wide Lens, is $40 and allows you to fit 2x more photo into the frame. This lens is ideal for landscape, travel, or sport iPhone photography and video. HITCASE uses optical grade glass for its lenses, which helps with capturing crisp images. And at only 22 grams, the super-compact waterproof and shockproof lens fits right in your pocket allowing you to take it literally anywhere.
For an easy way to enhance the quality of photos that you can take with your iPhone, check out the lineup of lenses from HITCASE. They are easy to use and affordable, which makes it painless to take great family photos while leaving the DSLR at home.
