8mm Fisheye Lens · 17mm mount
A true 220° fisheye perspective for iPhone, Samsung, and compatible 17mm mobile filmmaking systems.
A new visual language
The Freewell 8mm Fisheye Lens pulls walls, skies, crowds, and motion into one immersive frame. The result is not simply wider. It is more physical, more immediate, and unmistakably creative.
Drag to discover
Move the divider, then switch scenes. The same location becomes a different story once the frame starts to curve.
Turn a room into an immersive environment.
Built for motion
Fisheye perspective gives movement a center of gravity. Bring the lens close, hold the subject in the middle, and let the world wrap around the action.
Shot on 8mm
Optical character. Premium construction.
Premium optical glass sits inside a precision-machined aluminum alloy chassis. Freewell's Nano Fusion coating helps preserve clarity and accurate color through a frame designed to be anything but ordinary.
Simple by design
A secure 17mm threaded connection keeps the optic precisely positioned over your phone's main camera.
Use a phone case or cage with a properly aligned 17mm thread.
Thread the lens into place and confirm it sits centered over the camera.
Go handheld for energy or lock onto a tripod for a precise static frame.
Compatibility, made clear
Designed for compatible Freewell iPhone and Samsung cases and other correctly aligned 17mm mounting systems. The lens does not clip directly onto a bare phone. Case or cage sold separately.
Ready between shoots
The front and rear caps protect the glass in transit, while the fitted pouch keeps the complete lens close at hand.
Good to know
Straight answers about phone compatibility, the 17mm mount, focus distance, and what arrives in the box.
The lens uses a standard 17mm threaded mount. It works with compatible Freewell phone cases or cages for supported iPhone and Samsung models, as well as other correctly aligned 17mm mounting systems.
No. A compatible 17mm threaded phone case or cage is required and is sold separately. The mount keeps the lens securely aligned over the camera.
Use the phone's main 1x rear camera. Correct alignment over the main camera gives the intended 220° fisheye look and the best image coverage.
No. A normal ultra-wide aims to keep lines relatively straight. This 8mm lens intentionally creates the signature curved, immersive fisheye perspective.
The minimum focus distance is approximately 0.5 meters. Move close to your foreground subject to exaggerate depth while keeping the wider environment in the story.
The 8mm Fisheye Lens, front lens cap, rear lens cap, protective lens pouch, and cleaning cloth are included. A phone case or cage is not included.
