About Shiftcam 240mm Super Zoom Mugikorrerako Kamera Lentea

Shiftcam 240mm Super Zoom telefono mugikorretarako diseinatutako teleobjektibo bat da. Lentea 5x periskopio kamera moduluak dituzten telefonoetarako doituta dago eta gutxi gorabehera 10x-eko ikuspegi optikoa eskaintzen du. Pilaka jar daitezkeen lau makro bihurgailuk irismen bera distantzia luzeko makro argazkilaritza bihurtzen dute, 40x arte. Kanoia eta muntaia aluminio birziklatuz eginak daude eta biraketa bidezko blokeo-sistema erabiltzen dute lotura azkar eta segurua lortzeko. Aurreko atala estu mantentzen da, osagarri magnetikoak erabilgarri egon daitezen lentea muntatuta dagoen bitartean. Forma trinkoari esker, kit osoa poltsikoan eraman daiteke.

The Recognition

Unique Properties: 240mm Super Zoom Tele lets phones capture what eyes can’t: true optical reach with telephoto compression and DOF, while revealing micro-detail up close without sacrificing image quality. A 240mm Super Tele tuned for today’s 5× periscope phones delivers a ~10× optical view; four stackable macro converters turn that reach into long-range macro (up to 40×). It extends shots the phone alone can’t –wildlife, architecture, portraits, textures, and small components stay clean and sharp.
Dimensions & Packaging: 42.5 x 52.6

Production Technology: Recycled-aluminum barrel and mount are engineered around an S-Mount twist-lock for fast, repeatable seating – quick to attach, secure in use. The design language stays intentionally narrow at the first section so the MagSafe zone remains usable while the lens is mounted, letting grips and powerbanks snap on as part of a full shooting ecosystem. A compact, lightweight architecture keeps the kit pocketable and ready to shoot in seconds.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to compress super-zoom power into the smallest possible lens without sacrificing usability. It needed to stay pocketable and quick to mount, support a smooth zoom-to-macro workflow, and remain slim enough at the front to keep MagSafe accessories usable during shooting. Small, powerful, and ecosystem-ready – at the same time.
Research: Built on years of mobile optics development and deep understanding of periscope camera technology, we iterated the 240mm Super Zoom Tele through intensive in-house prototyping. Optical engineers and UX/interaction designers worked side by side, refining optics, mount geometry, and handling through real-world shooting and image comparisons. The final design resolves the core tension – size vs power vs ease. Delivering a small, powerful lens that’s quick to mount and consistent in use.
Inspiration: The request was clear: make it pocketable. Small, versatile, powerfu. Built to complement the phone as the only lens kit you’ll need. We focused on periscope-optimized optics tuned for today’s 5× tele modules in a compact, quick-mount design: low hassle, fast to deploy, ready for the moment. It’s a bring-everywhere lens for everyday shooters and creators – travel, daily walks, concerts, crowded venues – so users can frame distant faces, isolate subjects, and reveal fine textures in seconds.
Project Duration: Started April 2025, presented in IFA exhibition sep 2025, ended November 2025.
Operation Flow: The 240mm Super Zoom Tele is built for speed: twist, lock, shoot. The S-Mount twist-lock gives a clear confirmation when seated, so it’s secured and ready in seconds. Instead of swapping lenses, stack macro adapters to turn reach into long-range macro fast. Slim and MagSafe-friendly up front, it stays pocketable between shots. Quick to mount, quick to adapt, so the shot happens before the moment passes. The flow stays simple: lock, stack, capture farther frames and closer textures.
