The Samsung Galaxy S6 has a terrific camera – in fact, one of the very best ever included in a smartphone. Alongside its stablemate, the Galaxy S6 Edge, the S6 is a dream phone for photographers, whether you’re shooting for Instagram or your local newspaper. If you’re looking to get the very best out of that camera, then you should check out this new photographic accessory. It’s a combination of a 12x zoom telescope lens, a slim case and a tripod.
A convenient case
The accessory begins with a simple black polycarbonate, which fits perfectly around the Galaxy S6. This case includes a cutout for the Galaxy S6’s camera lens, with a screw thread that allows you to connect the zoom lens. It’s possible to install or remove the lens in a matter of seconds, so you can screw it in to take long-range photos, then take it out again to travel and use your phone normally.
An impressive zoom lens
The zoom lens makes it easy to take magnified photos and video, with the 12x magnification allowing you to look at distant scenes, wildlife and other objects of interest. There’s no app required to use the lens – simply shoot in your camera app of choice, for immediate sharing to Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
A helpful tripod stand
Even with a steady hand you’ll find you get a shaky image at 12x zoom, so we’ve also included this tripod stand. This folding tripod is small, but its legs will provide a stable platform for shooting using the 12x zoom lens (and indeed, without it). The tripod is brilliant for setting up time-lapses, ensuring perfectly steady shots and for recording videos from a fixed perspective.
