Clip-On Macro Lens for Phones with CPL and Star Filters

This is a macro lens on a spring clip that the seller lists as a long-distance macro for phones, sold with polarising and star filters as options. It is the cheap way into close-up work without buying a dedicated macro setup.

Why it made our list

• Rated 93.4% positive by AliExpress buyers.
• Over 300 recent orders on AliExpress.
• The clip is universal rather than case-specific, so it does not tie you to one phone model.

What the seller lists

• A macro lens described by the seller as long distance and professional.
• A universal clip, listed for iPhone, Xiaomi and Huawei phones.
• CPL and star filters as part of the range.
• Described in the seller's photo as covering a shooting range of roughly 1.2 to 4.7 in from the subject.

Good for

Flowers, insects, textures and product details shot on a phone, and for photographers who want to try macro before committing to a real macro lens. The working distance is short, so expect to light the subject from the side rather than over the top.
