About Shiftcam 240mm Super Zoom 手機相機鏡頭

Shiftcam 240mm 超級變焦鏡頭係一支專為手機而設嘅遠攝鏡頭。呢支鏡頭專為配備 5 倍潛望式鏡頭模組嘅手機調校,可以提供大約 10 倍嘅光學視野。四個可以疊加嘅微距轉接鏡,將同樣嘅遠攝能力轉化為遠距離微距攝影,放大倍率高達 40 倍。鏡筒同接環採用再生鋁製造,並使用旋扭鎖定系統,安裝快捷又穩固。鏡頭前端刻意保持纖細,令磁吸配件喺裝上鏡頭之後仍然可以使用。細巧嘅外形令成套器材都可以輕鬆放入口袋。

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.
