Apexel Universal Phone Clamp for Clip-On Camera Lenses

This is a spring-loaded phone clamp with a threaded ring, listed by the seller as a mount for screw-on phone lenses. It suits anyone who already owns clip-on lenses and wants them held straight rather than nudged out of line.

Why it made our list

• Rated 97.7% positive by AliExpress buyers.
• Over 300 recent orders on AliExpress.
• A rigid clamp is what stops a clip-on lens drifting off-centre, which is the usual cause of soft corners.

What the seller lists

• A 17-millimeter lens thread, the size the seller lists for its own lens range.
• An extendable clamp listed at 2.6 to 3.7 in wide.
• A tripod screw socket, shown in the seller's photo.
• Listed by the seller for live streaming and photography on most smartphones.

Good for

Phone shooters building a small lens kit, live streamers who mount a phone on a tripod, and anyone whose clip-on lens keeps sliding. Measure your phone with its case on before ordering, since the case is what usually breaks the fit.
