Probe Lens Edition - iPhone 13 Pro

The macro shots of my cat’s whiskers look like they were shot on a cinema rig, and the focus ring lets me dial in exactly what I want sharp. It’s a bit of a learning curve, but once you figure out the lighting, the footage genuinely feels like it came from a DSLR.

I was skeptical about spending this much on a phone lens, but the immersion when shooting macro-style video is unreal. The build quality feels rugged and professional, and the perspective shift makes even simple objects look cinematic.

I’m still blown away by how close I can get to a subject—the macro shots are incredibly crisp and clear, totally transforming my phone into a cinema camera. It’s not cheap, but the build quality feels solid and the 2x anamorphic effect adds a gorgeous, cinematic flare to every shot.
