45X MACRO LENS
Turn your phone’s primary camera into a window on fibers, textures, metalwork, and living detail—at a scale the naked eye walks straight past.

REAL 45X FOOTAGE
A working distance of 0–1 mm puts the optics where the detail begins. The result is an intimate, highly magnified view designed for deliberate close-up work.
LIGHT, BUILT AROUND THE SUBJECT
At a 0–1 mm working distance, ordinary room light can disappear behind the phone. The integrated circular light brings illumination directly to the subject, with two levels for precise close-up work.
Light arrives around the optical path, right at the surface.
Choose the light output that suits the texture and reflection.
Recharge with the Type-C cable included in the package.
A THREE-MOVE WORKFLOW
45X rewards precision. The right camera, a steady hand, and tiny movements are all it takes.
01
Thread the lens into a compatible 17mm phone case or cage over the main 1x camera.
02
Keep the phone on its primary 1x camera so it does not jump to another lens while you compose.
03
Bring the optics touch-close to the subject and move by millimeters until the detail locks into focus.

BUYER QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
It works with iPhone, Samsung, and other smartphones when the phone is fitted with a compatible case or cage that has a 17mm threaded lens mount. The lens does not attach directly to a bare phone.
Use the phone’s primary 1x camera. Turn off the phone’s automatic macro mode so the camera does not switch lenses while you are composing the shot.
This is an ultra-close macro lens with a 0–1mm working distance. Bring the lens extremely close to the surface, then make very small movements until the detail becomes sharp.
Yes. The integrated circular light has two illumination levels to help light the tiny area directly in front of the lens. A Type-C charging cable is included.
At 45X, even a tiny movement changes focus. Use the primary 1x camera, move within the 0–1mm working range, keep the phone steady, use the built-in light, and tap the subject on screen to confirm focus.
The package includes the 45X Macro Lens, front and rear lens caps, a Type-C charging cable, a travel lens protector, and a cleaning cloth.
