Most of us have smartphones that are equipped with a camera, what should we do if we want to enhance our shots?
We can either get a better phone, a DSLR camera or use add-on lenses.
Let’s explore the third option, addon lenses and see if its something you should consider.
Bitplay sent me several of their products, the Premium HD Wide Angle Lens, All Clip, SNAP! Grip, Premium HD Telephoto Lens, and the Premium HD Macro Lens to review let’s check them out!
What’s in the Box?
- AllClip(with a protective bag)
- HD wide-angle lens(with a protective bag)
- HD Macro lens(with a protective bag)
Design and Features
I have tested all the lenses with my Lenovo p2, although the camera on the p2 is not that great, I did manage to take some nice shots. In order for me to put the AllClip I had to take my phone out of the protective case. It is compatible with smartphones that have a width ranging from 58mm – 80mm (2.3″ to 3.2″).
With the AllClip lens mount, we can adjust the horizontal and vertical alignment of the mount by moving the AllClip up and down and by sliding the mount left or right.
Each lens comes with a protective bag for the mount and for the lens itself. The Bitplay lenses have a 13mm threaded mount that screws into the socket on the AllClip.
Premium HD Telephoto Lens
The Premium HD Telephoto Lens helps us produce much better image quality compared to digital zoom. It provides an optical 4-time zoom that is much better than the smartphone digital zoom where the quality of our pictures is compromised.
The Snap Grip
The SNAP! grip is quite interesting, you are able to use your smartphone just like a camera. If you are missing the camera like experience, snap grip will take care of it. Just snap it to any mobile phone, pair the Grip via Bluetooth, and Walla, you can use is like a camera, how cool is that?
It’s really comfortable to use, especially when you are taking pictures with one hand, with the snap grip you won’t have any problems doing so.
The SNAP! Grip is powered by a button battery that should last for approximately 6 months before it needs replacing.
With the help of the All Clip, we are able to clip different types of lenses to help us take a lot more beautiful shots. The clip is made of quality ABS plastic and you don’t need to be afraid of breaking it by mistake.
Premium HD Wide Angle Lens
The lens feels quality made and it’s much heavier compared to cheap lenses. I’m quite happy with the HD wide-angle lens, the photo quality is not compromised and the pictures stay very sharped.
It’s much better to take this lens with you rather than using a heavy camera.
Premium HD Macro Lens
Macro photography is something I really like and if I had a macro lens I would do it more often. This macro lens comes with an attachable semi-opaque hood, allowing lights to enter from the side of the glass, which creates well diffuse lighting on to my subject.
This lense only works well if you can place the lens right on top of the subject you’re trying to take shots off. Thanks to its design( frosted hood), light can come in. But still, the shots are a little bit darker as the hood is not transparent you have a little shadow.
The Bitplay AllClip is a universal smartphone lens holder that is designed to hold Bitplay’s specially designed lenses.

My Opinion
I’m very happy with Bitplay Premium series lenses, they offer great build quality and a chance to improve your shots. Macro lenses gave me a chance to take pictures that I couldn’t take before. Even though I had to take off my phone case in order to put the Allclip, which is necessary but attaching the lenses is quite a straightforward thing, and takes little to no effort.
If you love taking pictures and want to enhance your camera features, Bitplay gear will definitely boost your photography.
