The Best Camera You Can Carry: The Zilus Revolver

As people often say, "the best camera is the one you have with you." And now, there's an accessory that can help take your smartphone's camera to the next level. I'm here today from the Computer Clan to talk about the Zilus Revolver, a 4-in-1 lens kit for iPhone cases that not only protects your phone but also boosts its built-in camera capabilities.

The Zilus Revolver is a versatile accessory designed to work with certain Samsung phones as well. The specific type of phone case I tested was the Revolver, which features a unique 4-in-1 design. This means that it comes equipped with not one, not two, but four different types of lenses: fisheye, wide angle, circular polarizing filter (CPL), and macro. With these lenses, you can take four different types of shots with just one kit.

The process is quite simple. You just need to rotate the back of the case, and you'll be able to switch between different lens options. For example, let's take a look at what a subject looks like when photographed using the built-in lens versus one of the special lenses. Here is an image taken with the phone's built-in lens, followed by an image taken with the macro mod mode - another type of shot that can be achieved with this accessory.

When it comes to using the different lenses, you'll find that each has its own unique benefits. The fisheye lens provides a wide field of view and is great for capturing sweeping landscapes or panoramic shots. On the other hand, the wide angle lens offers a more traditional perspective and is ideal for everyday photography. The CPL lens helps block polarized light, which can make photos look less washed out and more vibrant.

One of the standout features of the Zilus Revolver is its circular polarizing filter (CPL). This feature helps to reduce glare and unwanted light in your photos, making them look better than they would without it. The CPL lens can be adjusted using a simple mechanism, allowing you to fine-tune the amount of polarization used.

In addition to the four lenses, the Zilus Revolver also comes with an added bonus: a kickstand. When you remove the lens kit from the back of the case, you'll find that the phone has a sturdy kickstand built in. This means that even when you're not using the lenses, your phone can still be propped up at an angle for easier viewing or taking photos.

Overall, I think the Zilus Revolver is a pretty decent accessory. It does take a little bit of getting used to, especially if you keep the camera attachment on while using it. However, the trade-off - having just a little more thickness in your phone - might be worth it for some users who want to expand their photography capabilities.

One minor complaint I do have is that getting my phone into the case was relatively easy, but removing it took a bit of effort. This could be due to the jet black finish on my phone, which seems to create a higher coefficient of friction. It's worth noting, however, that this might not be an issue with matte-finish phones.

Overall, I highly recommend checking out the Zilus Revolver and seeing what it can do for your smartphone photography. With four different lenses at your disposal, you'll have more creative options than ever before. And as a bonus, you'll also get access to the handy kickstand feature that comes with the kit. The best part? There's even a return policy in place, so there's no risk if you don't like it.

from the computer Clan here today to talk about an iPhone case that not only protects your phone but also boosts the capability of your phones built in camera and I believe this case also is made in a model that works with certain Samsung phones as well now as a tilus makes a bunch of different iPhone and other phone accessories but the specific type of phone case I tested was the revolver so the revolver is a 4 in-one lens kit it has a fisheye lens a wide angle lens a circular polarizing filter lens and a macro lens so you can take four different types of shots with one kit you just rotate the back of the case and you could choose different types of lenses to use so for example here is what a subject looks like just photographed with the phone's built-in lens and here's what it looks like with the macro mod mode here are some other examples of macro photos here's another shot taken just with the focal length of the built-in lens and now let's go to the wide angle lens and now let's go to the fishe lens so as you can see we have a couple different options to widen the field of view using the zilus revolver we have the wide angle and the fisheye option and it's also worth mentioning even though you may only see three different types of lenses in the circular revolver unit there actually is the macro lens hidden beneath the wide angle lens so that wideangle lens is attached by a magnet you just pull that off and then you get the macro mode the circular polarizing filter helps block polarized light which is light that reflects and diffuses off of a bunch of different surfaces typically not anything that's an alloy so for example let's take a look at this windshield as you can see as I adjust the polarizing filter the glare goes away here's an example of this apple and here are some other examples of how the circular polarizing filter or the CPL can be handy ultimately it's really nice to help reduce glare and unwanted light in your photos as an added bonus if you remove the lens kit from the back you can actually attach a kickstand so if you don't want the lenses with you you can still have the case on on and you can use the kickstand to prop up the phone so this is a pretty handy Gadget if you want to expand the capabilities of your iPhone's camera now I'm going to talk about a little more of the subjective views of this product overall I think it's pretty decent it does take a little bit of getting used to if you keep the camera attachment on there especially for one-handed use you kind of have to get used to that bigger hump on the back and having a bigger lump I guess inside of your pocket it's not just a thin phone anymore it has a little bit of a hump on it now but that's kind of the trade-off and again people say the best camera is the one you have with you so you'll have to judge if the tradeoff of having a little more thickness on your phone is worth having the additional camera abilities the other thing I noticed is getting the phone into the case is rather easy but removing it actually took a bit of a struggle now that might just be the jet black finish that's creating a higher coefficient of friction so kind of has to be yanked out I'm not sure if that happens with the matte finish phones but just keep that in mind so not really many negative things to say hardly any at all the positives outweigh the negatives and you know what I want to know what you think and I want you to test one out too actually I have a link down below and because I'm a nice guy I'm going to give you a discount if you want
