What's up everybody I'm Brian this is the Apple Bias and today we're talking about how to improve
the iPhone 13 mini camera how to make it more pro like because if you don't know the pro has three
lenses this has two what that third lens is it's a zoom lens so it has the wide it has the ultra wide
but then it has this zoom lens today where I'm going to show you how to add on that zoom lens
to the iPhone 13 mini I'm also going to show you another little tip on how to help those
low light pictures so without further ado let's go ahead and get started on that in that lens
so I'm not really going to drill into my phone because I would totally ruin it and probably blow
my face off or catch myself on fire even though that wouldn't make for a cool video I'm sorry
I'm not going to do that for you guys but what we are going to talk about another non-invasive way
to add a zoom lens to this camera is right here this is an add-on lens from a company called
shift cam now the way this adds on it's a little clunky and not the best they used to make cases
but they don't anymore for some reason but there's another company called moment that makes the same
kind of lenses zoom 2x lenses with cases that you just twist right on to the phone at it good
done ready to go twist it right back off remove it great perfect simple stuff now this one does have
some pretty cool features though it has a magnetic lens cover so you can just pop it on pop it off
and it comes with this little mount that also has a hot shoe so what that allows you to do
is if you're wanting to do some video stuff you want to add a microphone to it or maybe
even a light you can do that right on that little hot shoe so overall how does this work well you
just slide in this little extra get it right over that lens and you will want to disable a feature
on the iPhone that allows you to see outside the frame and you'll want to go into the settings and
disable that because what that does is sometimes it actually uses the wide angle lens to show you
what you're going to be taking a picture of even though you're not taking the picture with the
wide angle lens so sometimes it may just not show you the picture that you're wanting to see so you
will want to disable that in the settings kind of just screw this mount right on there and now the
lens itself gets screwed onto the mount and then you just pop that magnetic lens cover off now you
have an amazing 2x lens on the iPhone mini now this does add weight you don't have to keep it on
all the time you can take it off using the perfect size of the iPhone mini and it just works it gives
you that 2x zoom and you can still digital zoom if you want a little bit more which is also awesome
you lose quality with that digital zoom but if you need to get closer into some kind of action shot
or whatever I'll put up some comparison videos that I've taken with it so far the main reason
that I've gotten this is my son's about to start flag football here soon and I know I'm not going
to be able to get as close to the action that I want to so this little 2x is going to be perfect
for those situations where I just need to get a little bit closer to him as he's playing this game
and I mean I gotta say like it's pretty great having a 2x lens on an iPhone mini but that's
not all I have for you today because the iPhone pros also have better low light and
because they have that little lidar sensor sadly I can't add that either but I did find this
which is a light that just magnetically uses the MagSafe and connects right to it
it charges with a USB-C cable and it has three different options it has like a yellow light
a blue light or a mixed and it look look at this it just stretches out as you need it
so if you need to get closer you can kind of just angle it up and angle it out and
if you want to do selfies you can just kind of pop it up bring it to the front and then
it works so good like I love this thing it just and then just simple little I wish you could
just tap right here and just like push on it to turn it off and on I think that would be a better
design but they did put it's in the back and you just kind of turn it off and it didn't just stay
on the back of your phone whether you have a MagSafe case or the phone itself
and as you need that extra light you just turn it on and position it wherever you need it I'll
put a link down below for this as well and you're good to go so add these two together and you got
a whole set of just awesomeness for your iPhone mini thank you so much for watching this far into
the video if you can please hit that thumbs up leave a comment down below on what you thought
about these two little add-ons and I hope you all have a great rest of your day you mean the world
to me thank you so much for watching my content and I will see you all in the next one God bless
