Use Your Cell Phone As A Digital Loupe

I have one - they're very, very cool.

thanks for that info Daniel... do you make these entirely yourself? and what is the main difference with the couple of similar ones already out there... lens quality, etc?

 

cheers T

There are similar products on the market. I have tested a number of candidates for the lenses, and the ones I sell are the best optical quality and highest magnification of all the ones I have examined. I add my own packaging with a set of instructions and tips, and I provide support, fast US-based shipping, and replacement parts. My customers seem to be happy!

I guessed as much that your optics were going to be better... looks like I am going to have order one of these soon... sure beats carry a loupe AND an iPhone around... one less thing in the pockets

Payment and PM sent!

Thanks - I see that. I try to be very tender, but it's something to monitor (it's so flexy). Another benefit to the high mag feature of the iCroScope...

Just plain awesome. I've purchased some photography apps for my iPhone which improve the not-so-great camera, but this accessory is a real cut above the rest! I didn't need to read beyond the first post before ordering one. I'm really looking forward to getting it and trying it out!

Sadly, though my LG enV² has a pretty decent 2 megapixel camera, I can't use this accessory with it. First, it wouldn't fit in the belt clip I use to carry the phone (and drilling the clip shell would just let the ring hit the actual clip); second, the area around the lens isn't perfectly flat; but most damning, the ring that attaches to the phone would overlap the edge of the battery, I think. Still tempting to get it to see if I can fabricate a sheet metal clip that would let me take the magnet ring off when not in use.

What a great idea. Wish I'd thought of it.

 

Just ordered mine and can't wait for it to arrive.

To clear the battery, the adapter ring could simply be clipped, I think. Not sure of your belt clip design, so I can't offer specific suggestions for accomodating that...

Hi!

 

Sent paypal payment for shipping to Mexico City last week.

Could you confirm please and let me know approximate date of arrival?

Thanks

I've received more stock of iCroScopes, and all orders received to date are shipping by tomorrow. I have some stock remaining for immediate shipment; when that's gone, it will be a few weeks before I re-stock.

 

Here's a "prove to that eBay seller that there's a crack" shot taken with my iCroScope:
