So you have the iPhone 4 or 4S and the “default” camera isn’t good enough for you? You’ve probably seen few attachments that can extend the camera’s capabilities. Here’s one worth considering – it’s called Olloclip and it used to be one of the projects at Kickstarter. Now it’s available to the general public and we love it.

It combines 3 different lenses, including:

  • Fisheye lens – that captures 180-degree field-of-view,
  • Wide-Angle lens – which is cool when you need that extra field of view, and
  • Macro lens – that applies roughly a 10x multiplier and allows you to focus the iPhone within 12-15mm of the subject. It is concealed within the Olloclip and can be accessed by unscrewing the Wide-Angle lens that is normally attached to it.

Best of all, Olloclip is easy to carry around and even comes with a microfiber bag that doubles as a lens cleaner. It is available in either red or black for just $69 and you can get it from Amazon or straight from Olloclip’s website
