I have been very impressed with this lens kit. All the lens attach easily by screwing them onto the provided iPhone 4 case. The threads on the screw of the lenses are matel for the macro and fish eye lens, but the telephoto uses plastic and the case has plastic screw threads as well. It hasn't been a problem yet but I could see how wear could cause stripping of the threads.
Tripod and Mount
Tripod and Mount
The tripod is solid metal with a spring clamp system. The clamp has a good amount of pressure holding the iPhone in place and it felt secure. The tripod also has a level bob that can changes the angle of the iPhone up to 90°. The mounting clamp attachment is compatible with any tripod unit.
8x Telephoto Lens
The telephoto lens is impressive, but must be tripoded to get clear photos. There is a focus ring that racks the focus from 3 meters - infinite. It's made of plastic but still feels solid.

Wide Angle/Fish Eye Lens
This is my favorite lens. It produces an intense fish eye effect when close to objects and a nice general wide angle when further away. The angle of this lens is 180° and I noticed this to be true when shooting I had to watch out for my knuckles showing in the shot from gripping the iPhone.
Macro Lens
Great little lens for getting really close to your subject. It's a .68x wide macro lens that allows you take photos at 3"-4" distance.
For the next few weeks I'll be working on a music video that will be entirely shot on the iPhone 4 using these new lenses. This is a test shot for the movie. The iPhone 4 is noted for having tracers when shaking or bumping the frame. This video looks good but is far to shaky. The skateboard is just a placeholder for the track system I'll have set up.
