This is white-labled, drop ship trash, probably from Alibaba or similar. It is cheap, laggy, and doesn't hold a live view while recording video. It is utterly useless for the purpose I bought it for.... See more

I bought the Snaply Lens selfie mirror and it was completely unusable. The magnet is far too weak to hold the product in place — it just slides down the phone and falls off as soon as you let go.... See more

Doesn't work. Lag makes it unusable. Dropshipped junk. Company doesn't honour it's warranty. Save your money and buy a better one from Temu or AliExpress.

Great product. I've had zero issues with it. Connected it to both my Samsung and iPhone. The image is clean. Makes shooting content SO much easier!

The cage illuminates my subject matter well. It is especially useful when recording for restaurant reviews for my YouTube channel and is a good buy for the price. Highly recommended.

super easy to use and connect on my android phone (s25u). Filmed for 15min at a time with no lag and no stutter in recording on pro mode. very happy!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

so far so good. 3 vid lenses are better than 1. Does what I had hoped. Should come with a protective case - or the ability to purchase case.

Seems like an easy product to use, however the device lag's terribly on an iPhone when shooting in 4K. When I asked support about this they just told me to lower the camera settings.

Controlling perspective of the footage

I have seen this gadget on IG and got immediatley attrected by the idea to use a 2nd monitor for checking perspective(s) to shoot.
E.g. a) using mounted Smartphone to shoot a certain setting/perspective b) start shooting with remote, c) walk across the scenery, creating some movement or some kind of story, d) stop shooting with remote, e) relocate camera position to shoot a different angle/scenery, Repeat a) to e).
You can create a few clips shooting your activities, combined together later on. And every view is in your control. Very useful tool.

Hasn’t lived up to its claim

Not worth the investment, in my opinion. I purchased a Snaplylens after watching an ad. What the advertisement failed to show was that it freezes as you start to move and it’s nearly impossible to see yourself when recording outdoors. I have used it a number of times before I decided to go back to using my iWatch. If you decide to order one, make sure you don’t remove any tags or packaging as it basically needs to be returned in an unopened condition to qualify for a refund.

Reply from SnaplyLens

There may be slight lag when using the Camera app at 4K 60fps, as Apple limits screen mirroring bandwidth in this mode. To bypass this restriction, we recommend using a third-party app like Blackmagic Camera (free on the App Store), which allows full-resolution mirroring without Apple’s imposed limitations.

Recently ordered the lenses

I’m blown away by the quality of my SnaplyLens! As a content creator, I’m always looking for gear that’s lightweight but delivers pro-level results—and SnaplyLens does exactly that. The lens is super easy to clip on, and the clarity and detail it captures are incredible. I love how portable it is too—perfect for filming on the go. If you’re serious about content creation, this lens is a must-have!

Great device

Like a fellow reviewer, the first unit I received would not connect, online support was fast and assured me that this appeared to be an issue with UK users, and shipped another unit with modifications promptly, initially I had issues, but this was more due to my own working, but again, with support, I managed to get the unit working, great product, thanks very much.

An amazing tool for creating content

An amazing tool for creating content — truly a must-have for any girl or anyone who films a lot of videos.
I use it every single day. What I love most is that I don’t need to place anything in front of the screen. I can see everything that’s happening while filming right on the little screen I hold in my hand.

Initial issue sorted quickly and effectively

After a compatibility issue with the first unit I received, they promptly shipped a replacement unit free of charge which works like a charm. Really fast and satisfactory response and the device itself does what it says on the tin. Recommended!
