Promising review: "We use lenses with iPhones several times a week: consistently and without a doubt, this is the single best lens I have ever used. It has amazing clarity and the size makes it less clunky then other telescope lenses. Whether for video or stills, this lens is second to none and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Five stars is just not enough." —Robert G.

Price: $45

Its working range is about 12 meters (40 feet).

Promising review: "It works with my iPhone 6 Plus without any issue. The remote is small and very light. Most people may think it is not necessary to have such remote (since iPhone has a timer feature), however the timer doesn't let you capture the exact moment you want. With this little remote, I fully control the shutter timing 100%." —HT

Price: $6.50

Edit less, photograph more.

Promising review: "It is a very nice hardware filter set that I can use on my phone camera.
