Test of the “Olloclip 4 in 1” for iPhone: 4 lenses for varied photos

Thing promised, thing due, after having
made your mouth water withthese few
photos of the olloclip 4 in 1, it's high time to see what the accessory
offered for use.

From near or far, we will see that the olloclip and its 4 lenses
have some very good surprises in store. I suggest you (re)discover a
amazing accessory to attach to the iPhone lens, test shots and
our opinion.

The 4 in 1 olloclip is on sale here. There is a model for different
iPhone models, 4 to 7.

Unpacking

Well nestled in its white packaging, the olloclip 4 in 1 is well
accompanied:

Indeed, in the box, which presents in detail the possibilities of
the accessory, we also findtwo cachesallowing
protect the lenses,a small carrying bagin
microfiber, very practical for giving a little cleanliness to the lens and
also a small piece of plastic which is actuallyan adapter
allowing you to use the olloclip on an iPod touch 5g.

At first glance, the red aluminum lenses give the impression of
quality which is subsequently confirmed. the whole thing is very easy to screw and
unscrew. Regarding the presentation, there is really nothing to complain about, the olloclip is
elegant and the execution exudes quality.

Set up

The olloclip is easily positioned on the corner of the iPhone. Once in
place, it no longer moves and 'pinches' the iPhone so that it is
impossible to drop it by turning over the iPhone for example.

Obviously, since the accessory is adjustedit is used without a shell
inwindow of
protection of this type, which for me is absolutely not a
concern but this will not be the case for everyone.

To benefit from the different lenses offered, it is necessary to
reposition the accessory regularly. There too, no worries, no
claw to note on the iPhone.

Utilisation

Before moving on to the practical phase, let's take the time for a quick reminder.
This new version of the olloclip now includes 4 lenses
different. The first two are accessible via the red parts. He
this is a goalgrand-angleand a
fish-eye.

To access the other two, you mustunscrew the
goals. It is then possible to use two x10 macro lenses
and x15 to take photos closer than the iPhone can do at
the base.

Of course, Olloclip can be used with all photo apps from
the App Store and can also be used to make videos.

Grand angle

Thanks tothe wide angle lens, olloclip gives the iPhone
more perspective. Here is a picture example. The two photos that follow were
taken in the same place the first with the 'naked' iPhone and the second with
the objectivegrand-angle:

same thing here, first without then with the wide-angle olloclip:

As we can see, the difference is obvious even if, we note,
the lens tends todarken the image.

FishEye

Now place for the Fisheye which gives the photos this curvature so
particular. Once in place, here is the result first without then
with :

and here are other examples:

Note that olloclip offers an app that allows you to straighten these photos
'fish eye' to make more traditional photos. This app allows you to
get the most out of the olloclip and its macro lenses.

The “macros”

As I specified above, you will then have to unscrew the lenses
red so that the olloclip revealstwo lenses intended to achieve
very close-up images.

I must admit that initially the use of these macro lenses is
rather confusing because, to achieve the focus, it is really necessary
get very, very close to the subjectwhat we don't have
the usual thing to do with the iPhone which stalls around 2 cm.

To illustrate the point, here are three photos, the first taken with
the bare iPhone the second with the x10 lens and the last with the lens
x15 :

As we can see, it is really possible to go very close which
should delight fans of photos of flowers or other insects.

To return to more general considerations, I nevertheless note that
force of manipulation, the different lenses often tend to
take fingerprints. The idea of adding a microfiber pouch
allowing lenses to be wiped is truly welcome. Whatever he
in itself, more than for transport, this little bag will be very useful for…
wipe 🙂

Conclusion

The olloclip should delight those who are keenly interested in photography
on iPhone. Obviously, it is not aimed at everyone because given
its price (70 euros), only those who are really looking for new
photographic sensations with the iPhone will find their account there. Only flaw,

Fortunately, the rag bag is there to save the day.

The result is a very beautiful accessory that will appeal to those who like to take
time to take beautiful images with their smartphone.
