Quality materials! Decent lens kit!
Overall, it's a decent lens kit. I just want to say, I'm not a photographer nor do I take a lot of pictures. To start, this kit is well built and it seems to be decent quality to me. I've only initially tried it and was kind of in a rush. But I couldnt seem to line up the lens with my phones camera easily. It's kind of hard to not get blurred edges but it definitely seems more like operator error than a problem with the product. They could probably make it a little easier though. Once it is all on and lined up it takes good pictures and works as advertised. It also comes with a lot of other stuff, like a button to snap photos without touching the phone, a tripod to mount your phone on and a nice little case. Overall, i would reccomend giving it a try if you're a hardcore photographer, you may like it. I should also mention they have amazing customer service. So if there are any problems with it, they will be sure to address it asap.

Easy to carry and use.
Nice quality glass. They look and feel sturdy. Carrying case to keep them together. They clip into the holder and on the phone. Very easy to get started. Good buy and good price

Recommend to take out travel.
I shot my eyelashes with the macro lens. At the same time I also took a lot of pictures I like. I'm still working on other features. The wide angle lens is cool. The range of images really expanded.The bigger the frame, the smaller the person in the picture.The picture is less crowded.Recommend to take out travel.:)

No more carrying bulky camera around
I just love this lens kit so much. I was so tired of carrying my big bulky camera around on every vacations and I feel like my cell phone camera takes just as good photos. So when I saw this lens kit, I had to have it. It is easy to use and I took it on a trip today and I could fit the whole thing in my purse. It did a great zoom and I was able to get a great portrait of my kid. Just awesome. I am an amateur photographer and love getting good shots. Well worth it.

Just yes!
TL:DR Cool lenses. They work better than installed software. You can't combine all the lenses. I'm using this on a Samsung Note 8. I've been playing with the lenses for about a week and half. I like all the lenses. Especially the macro wide angle one. (Pro tip: use the clip to help you separate the lenses. Otherwise you'll risk your sanity and the lens integrity.) Unfortunately, using the macro lens alone didn't work for me. However, it did work better than the software focus when paired with the wide angle. The long lens did really well. There were some slight artifacts because the Samsung software was over compensating. I figured it out though. The only thing I can complain about is their marketing picture is misleading. I misunderstood what you could do with the lenses. You CANNOT pair them with other lenses. The only lenses that can do that are the macro and wide angle lenses. The mobile, fish eye, and telephoto lens cannot be combined with any other lens. Oh and the provided tripod isn't great. You're better off investing in a separate mini tripod. I'd still buy these as a gift for a budding photographer. They're not a waste of money.

Fun kit to expand your phone's capabilities
This kit includes 6 lenses and a few other accessories that give you a lot of fun possibilities. Each piece in the kit has a specific job, but some pieces seem more functional than others. The instruction sheet is pretty minimal, and doesn't cover everything in the kit. This review will give you my impressions of each piece, and suggestions on how best to use them. I've added some photos to show what I'm talking about in a few cases. Five of the 6 lenses screw into a spring-loaded clip that clamps onto your phone, over the camera lens, like a clothespin. (The 6th lens is a wide-angle lens that comes screwed onto the front of the macro lens, and doesn't fit into the spring clip. More about that below.) If you keep your phone in a case, the clip may not sit squarely over the camera lens, so you may need to remove your phone from its case. (That goes in the minus column.) Some cases may not have that issue if the hole over the lens is small enough for the clip to span evenly. If you have a Hitcase, the lenses will screw directly into the case, eliminating the need for the spring clip altogether. That simplifies everything and makes it all just work better. Among the more useful lenses in the kit is the CPL, which isn't explained in the instruction sheet, and whose function may not be obvious. First, CPL stands for "Circular Polarizing Lens". Its function is to allow light to enter the camera from only one direction, similar to how blinds on a window can be slanted up to let light in from above but block the view to and from the street, or slanted down to accomplish the reverse of that. On your camera, the CPL will cut glare from light bounced off reflective surfaces. That includes obvious sources of glare, like glass and water, but also more subtle sources, like walls, roads, and vegetation. Properly adjusted, it will give you deeper blue skies, richer green foliage, and better color saturation overall. The effect is most obvious outside on bright days. It can also help indoors where the lighting is strong or harsh. To get the benefit, though, you need to adjust the lens each time you use it. After you've screwed the lens onto the clip using the large knurled ring protruding from the base of the lens, turn the top ring on the lens (using the knurling ABOVE the white "CPL MOBILE PHONE..." lettering). Rotate the top ring until the image on your screen is DARKEST. Then shoot your photo. The attached photos of the glass lamp on the laminate floor, and the arrowhead on the glass stove top show how much difference proper adjustment can make. The CPL was attached for all 4 shots, but it was adjusted properly only on the 2 images without so much reflection. Most CPLs sold for real cameras are designed as filters to screw onto the outside of other lenses. It is unfortunate that this one won't screw onto the front of the other lenses in this kit. Instead, it's intended to improve only the lens on your phone. It is useful for that, though, and I'll use it when shooting outdoors with my phone. The fisheye lens is a super-wide-angle lens that lets you include a lot more of your surroundings in your shot. It's particularly useful for getting a group of people into a selfie, showing a whole room, or shooting a big outdoor landscape. Unless you tweak the image a little, though, you get a black ring around the outside of your image (called "vignetting") and severe distortion around the edges of the photo where what should be straight lines turn into curves inside the black ring. The best solution for eliminating the black ring and minimizing the distortion is to zoom your camera in a bit, to just inside vignette, before you take the photo. (Use a spreading motion with 2 fingers on your phone screen.) This reduces how much of the scene you'll see, but it's wider than you'll get with your phone alone, it gets rid of that annoying black ring, and it eliminates most of the distortion. I've included a series of 3 photos here showing a kitchen/dining room scene with the camera phone alone, the fisheye with the camera at 1x (widest), and the fisheye with camera zoomed slightly. When I use the fisheye, I usually try to zoom it in to lose the vignette. The other wide-angle lens in the kit comes screwed onto the front of the macro (closeup) lens. This 0.63x wide-angle lens gives a moderately wider view, which may be useful in some cases. I find this lens puzzling, though. The lens is designed as a filter that only screws onto the front of the macro lens and none of the others in the kit. Its threads are not compatible with the mounting clip, so you can't use it to widen the view of your phone camera alone, which would be a nice alternative to the fisheye because it would probably not have the severe distortion and vignetting of the fisheye. Instead, it only fits the macro lens, which is used for taking closeup photos, where a wide angle is typically not necessary or desirable. The whole point of a closeup, after all, is to focus the viewer on some small detail. The 0.63x wide-angle lens is removeable, but note that it has REVERSE THREADS! Turn it clockwise (to the right) to unscrew it. This is not explained in the instructions, which only indicate that it can be unscrewed. I didn't realize this, and tried to unscrew it in the normal direction (counterclockwise, to the left) several times, before resorting to pliers to get a better grip on both lenses. I ended up breaking the wide-angle lens (see attached photo). I'm glad that I lost only the wide-angle lens (which has such limited utility) and not the macro lens (which is still fun and functional). The 15x macro lens is fun and useful, and is pretty straightforward. It allows you to focus very close to objects and magnify small things to 15 times their normal size, showing fine texture and details. You can use this lens to create interesting, artistic images as well as to show important details of objects that you're posting for sale on Craigslist or eBay, for example. The big gun in this kit is the 18x telephoto. The appeal of a long lens for bringing distant objects up close is obvious, but I find this lens difficult to use and of limited utility. The first hurdle is getting the lens centered over your camera's lens. Any minor misalignment creates a vignette along the edge of your image and small movements of the lens (including focus adjustment) can misalign it. The lens has a very narrow "exit pupil" (the hole through which your phone's camera has to see), so precise alignment is critical. The lens is made of metal, so it's fairly heavy and almost too much for the mounting clip to support. Here's where the threads on the Hitcase (and possibly other cases?) are particularly useful. Screw this lens into your Hitcase and your alignment is instantly centered and solid. I gave my 18x lens to my son, who has a Hitcase on his phone. Its far more functional if you can use it without the spring clip. The magnification is high enough to really magnify distant objects, showing detail that would otherwise be lost with the digital zoom of your camera's phone, which is actually just a glorified cropping utility. The attached photos of a boat behind some apartment buildings show how much magnification we're talking about. You can also use your phone's digital zoom with this lens to get even closer, but the image just gets more pixelated and less focused as you do that. The 18x lens needs a lot of light to function well. Your phone's camera will try to compensate in low-light situations by increasing the sensitivity of its sensor, but that produces a grainier, lower-quality image. Use this lens outdoors in good light for best results. Some reviewers have incorrectly implied that this is a "zoom" lens. Zoom lenses allow you to adjust the magnification (from 3x to 12x, for example) by turning or sliding a ring on the lens's barrel. This lens is a fixed 18x telephoto, with no adjustment of "focal length" possible. The barrel ring on the lens is used for focusing. Do this carefully if you're using the lens with the mounting clip, so you don't misalign the lens. Most of the time you'll be able to crank the focus all the way out to its "infinity", which focuses on everything far away. (Play with this a little bit, though, to see if you can get a better focus by backing off the extreme end of the focus adjustment a little bit.) Closer objects will require you to adjust the focus manually with the focus ring.. The high magnification of the 18x lens exaggerates camera movements, which will blur your images. It's nearly impossible to hand-hold the phone and take photos with good focus when this lens is installed. At the very least, you'll need to brace it against a wall or table. A better solution, though, is a tripod. Fortunately, the kit comes with a small table-top tripod and a spring-loaded clamp to hold your (standard sized) phone. Larger-format phones may not fit in the phone clamp. The clamp has two brass bushings with standard 1/4-20 tripod threads. This gives you several options for mounting your phone, which is nice. I've attached a photo showing one possible arrangement, using the provided tripod. The instruction sheet shows another configuration. The tripod itself has a nice ball head to maximize flexibility, but the legs are a bit flimsy, especially when fully extended. The weight of the 18x telephoto lens, in particular, is almost too much for it. The standard tripod threads of the phone clamp, though, allow you to substitute a more substantial tripod if you have one. Once it is secured to the tripod, even tapping the phone's screen to take a photo can shake the camera enough to blur your photo. You have a couple of options to avoid this. One is to use your phone's self-timer to give the camera a short (2 to 5 second) delay. The self-timer icon usually looks like a circular arrow around a dot. Press that instead of the regular shutter release, and you should get a better-focused photo because you aren't disturbing the camera while the shutter is open. The other common solution is a remote control shutter release. This kit has been thoughtfully provided with just such a device. The included "Camera360" remote uses Bluetooth technology to communicate with your phone, and has separate buttons for Apple iPhones (using the "iOS" button) and all other phones (using the "android" button). There are no instructions included for the remote, but you can find a small owner's manual in pdf format, and several YouTube videos, by searching online for "Camera360 remote shutter". Basically, you need to pair the remote to your phone by turning on the remote (using the sliding switch on the side), turning on the Bluetooth in your phone's settings, and selecting "AB Shutter3" when your phone detects it. The remote should work directly with your iPhone's camera, and with a short list of a few Android phones. If it doesn't, the instructions tell you to download the Camera 360 app from the Google Play or Apple App store. I did that, and found the app full of confusing bullshit advertisements and silly photo editing filters. I couldn't get the remote to work. I've given the remote to my son, along with the 18x lens, to use with his iPhone in its Hitcase. Hopefully he'll find it useful. The tripod and phone clamp will also work for selfies from further away than you can get by holding your phone at arm's length, or on a selfie stick. I expect that some users will find this useful. Again, you can use either your phone's self timer, or the Bluetooth shutter release, if you can get it to work. The AOMAIS lens kit has one more lens, a modest 2x telephoto that I find much more practical than the 18x super-telephoto. The magnification is obviously much lower, but it doubles the focal length of your phone's camera without producing the extreme vignetting, instability, motion blur, and light reduction of the big lens. If you're careful, you can hand-hold this lens, although you'll usually do better if you brace it against something solid as you take the picture. I really wish that the CPL lens fit onto the end of the 2x telephoto. If it did, I'd probably use the two lenses together a lot when shooting outdoors. For the modest price of this kit, don't expect to produce magazine publication-quality photos. The images should be adequate for online posting, though, or for sharing among friends. Use the included, lint-free cleaning cloth to keep dust and water spots off the lenses and keep the included lens caps on the lenses when you aren't using them. The kit comes in a nice padded case with spaces for all the accessories, and a zipper closure. There's also a small, light-duty carabiner to secure the case to your pack or whatever else you carry it in. The instructions are called a "Quick Start Guide", with very limited detail and rather poor English. As noted above, some of the pieces are not covered in the guide. The low quality of the instructions is one of the main reasons that I wrote this rather long review. Perhaps AOMAIS will consider updating the instruction to address these shortcomings. Hopefully my review will be useful in the meantime. If you found it helpful, let me know.

Performs better than most
Very surprised when I opened the package. Such a bargain really because of so many items included-18x Zoom Telephoto Lens, 2x Telephoto Lens, 198° Fisheye Lens, 0.63x Wide Angle Lens, 15x Macro Lens, CPL Filter Lens, Storage Case, Tripod Mode, Lens Clip. These seem perfect for what I wanted and the quality is better than expected. This is my first set of phone camera lenses, so I don’t have anything to compare them too, but actually only have one negative thing to say. The zoom of telephoto is amazing. The fisheye lens is interesting to use with my kitty. The storage case is perfect and travels well. I have an iPhone 7 plus. Works well. Recommended buy!!

Bonus Remote!
I may have missed it in the description but I didn't know this little kit would come with a remote as well. The remote didn't come with instructions but it was easy enough to figure out. You just pair it like any other bluetooth device. That'll come in handy as well as the little tripod because I didn't have either one. I also didn't see in the description where using this with a cellphone case isn't recommended. I'd rather not take my case off. I was successful with keeping my case on anyway with the small lenses because it's easy to see how it lines up, but the telephoto lens was a little tricky getting it lined up. I wish the clip was a little more secure for the bigger lens. It moves when you're trying to focus the big zoom lens and that's most likely because I had my case on and the clip wasn't flush with my case. Though that lens is the reason I wanted this kit, I probably won't use it. But I love the other lenses and they are easy to line up. If you have one of the older iPhones with only one lens this will be much easier to use. If you're wondering why you'd want to use the zoom lens when you can zoom in on most iPhones at that range, the reason is because you have to be very still or your picture will come out blurry just using your phone. With the zoom lens it's just like taking any other photo and you don't have to worry about having the shakes. Same with the macro camera. I tried to take the same picture of the mini chocolate chip and could not get the camera to focus, so the detail with that lens is very impressive. I also didn't know what the CPL lens was for, but that will be the one I use the most. It makes the color of the picture more vibrant. I take pictures for websites and they only need to be as big as you can view on a computer monitor. I don't need a fancy camera for that. This little kit will be perfect for the different types of photos I'll take with it.

Good set of VFM lens which is a dream for armature photo enthusiasts
The item came well packaged with clear instructions to use. My wife had used it with both her iPhone 8 and 8 plus which was easy with great results. Lens quality is good though not as great as professional lens but good armature phone photographers The macro and fish lens are highlights of the package. I will surely recommend this product to those want to start off with cell phone photography

Well made and a good value
This phone camera lens is well made and a good value. The lens units are made of metal and plastic and appear to be high quality. Everything you might need is included in the kit. Mounting the lens and holder to my phone took a little fiddling but was ultimately easy to do. Mounting a lens on the front camera of my iPhone allowed me to experiment with selfie photos which was interesting. My only two issues is that I had to go back to the Amazon product description to determine exactly what "CPL" meant and, try as I might, I was not able to unscrew the 0.63X Wide Angle lens from the 16X Macro lens. These two lens units arrive in the kit assembled. Because I probably will not ever need the Macro function I decided not to exchange my kit for another.
