This is partially true. Apple imposes limitations when screen mirroring in 4k to prevent your phone from overheating. We did recommend using the free app called black magic camera so you can override this and film in 4k. If you want to use the native camera app, you will have to film in 60HD to avoid any lag, Hope this helps.

Good Buy For the Price

The cage illuminates my subject matter well. It is especially useful when recording for restaurant reviews for my YouTube channel and is a good buy for the price. Highly recommended.

Turning my Phone into my Canon (sorta)…

Turning my Phone into my Canon (sorta) had been a dream come true. Especially since I can now avoid any selfie cam shots like the plague.

What i use it for:

- Multi screens for online lessons ( close ups etc. )

- UGC content ( saying good bye to selfie cams )

- Multi cameras for YT content

With that above mentioned I've made 30+ videos at this point with this screen and other than I love it here's the cliff notes:

- Amazing tool to use as a monitor for your phone

- Easily a level up for creators that primarily use their phone

- Great for video calls etc.

What this isn't and you shouldn't expect

- A touch screen monitor

- True 4k resolution ( which shouldn't matter if you're editing on a computer)

Some extras:

- the company ships from overseas so prepare to wait a bit

- Delivery service will NOT tell you when this thing arrives ( consider a safe drop-off JIC )

Hope that helps you dear reader!

My Rating: 4.5 / 5

A bit crap really.

Bought this to prevent shadowing on pics but i still get it. Also the ad included a side button which doesnt exist on the actual model i received. Good idea in theory but in reality its just another piece of internet tat thatll sit in a box in the shed.

Terrible customer service

I purchased there product but never received it. It appears to have been stolen from the front porch of my NYC apt because their cheap cut rate delivery service with all 1 star reviews placed the package in a visible spot on a busy NYC street and did not ring the bell or notify me. Their customer service is completely unwilling to aid at all and refuses to take responsibility because this random delivery company marked it as delivered.

so far so good

so far so good. 3 vid lenses are better than 1. Does what I had hoped. Should come with a protective case - or the ability to purchase case.

Great product

Great product. I've had zero issues with it. Connected it to both my Samsung and iPhone. The image is clean. Makes shooting content SO much easier!

Junk

Doesn't work. Lag makes it unusable. Dropshipped junk. Company doesn't honour it's warranty. Save your money and buy a better one from Temu or AliExpress.

Controlling perspective of the footage

I have seen this gadget on IG and got immediatley attrected by the idea to use a 2nd monitor for checking perspective(s) to shoot.
E.g. a) using mounted Smartphone to shoot a certain setting/perspective b) start shooting with remote, c) walk across the scenery, creating some movement or some kind of story, d) stop shooting with remote, e) relocate camera position to shoot a different angle/scenery, Repeat a) to e).
You can create a few clips shooting your activities, combined together later on. And every view is in your control. Very useful tool.

Hasn’t lived up to its claim

Not worth the investment, in my opinion. I purchased a Snaplylens after watching an ad. What the advertisement failed to show was that it freezes as you start to move and it’s nearly impossible to see yourself when recording outdoors. I have used it a number of times before I decided to go back to using my iWatch. If you decide to order one, make sure you don’t remove any tags or packaging as it basically needs to be returned in an unopened condition to qualify for a refund.

There may be slight lag when using the Camera app at 4K 60fps, as Apple limits screen mirroring bandwidth in this mode. To bypass this restriction, we recommend using a third-party app like Blackmagic Camera (free on the App Store), which allows full-resolution mirroring without Apple’s imposed limitations.

I’m blown away by the quality of my SnaplyLens! As a content creator, I’m always looking for gear that’s lightweight but delivers pro-level results—and SnaplyLens does exactly that. The lens is super easy to clip on, and the clarity and detail it captures are incredible. I love how portable it is too—perfect for filming on the go. If you’re serious about content creation, this lens is a must-have!

Great device

Like a fellow reviewer, the first unit I received would not connect, online support was fast and assured me that this appeared to be an issue with UK users, and shipped another unit with modifications promptly, initially I had issues, but this was more due to my own working, but again, with support, I managed to get the unit working, great product, thanks very much.
