I would like to make a reservation right away that this is not a full-fledged testing of the module, but only my impressions about the scenarios of its use and convenience.
Appearance and connection
Outwardly, the whole structure of the module with the phone resembles soap-dish cameras, except that the dimensions of this bundle are slightly larger, this is due to the size of the smartphone.
The module is easily connected, fasten it to the cover of your smartphone, and that's it, it's ready to go.
In the upper part there is a shutter and focus button, a zoom rocker is inscribed in it. In general, shooting from a smartphone with such a module is much more convenient, because you do not need to interact with the screen.
On the front side there is a xenon flash and the lens itself. Actually, these are all the control elements of the module. There is no separate battery in it, it consumes the smartphone's charge. It seems convenient to me, you don't need to think about whether you have charged the module or not.
Sample pictures
To test the module, I walked to Red Square and took several shots with and without zoom. When you look at them in comparison, you are simply amazed at how huge an increase without loss of quality can be obtained. However, keep in mind that despite the optical stabilization, the smartphone must be held very firmly at maximum zoom. The slightest movement – and the frame will be blurry.
Usage scenarios
I haven't been to Red Square for a hundred years and have already forgotten how popular this place is among tourists. I immediately remembered the story of a girl I knew from Beijing who had never been to the Great Wall of China in her entire life. So, it's normal to click the same St. Basil's Cathedral or the chimes on a smartphone is very problematic. Of course, you can crop the frame later, but the quality of the remaining photo will be lower, as well as the detail.
In the case of the Moto Hasselblad, you can stand in the distance and get a better shot without losing detail. Yes, of course, someone can say that you can buy a separate camera with x10 zoom for these purposes, only this is a separate heavy accessory, without the possibility of quick publication online.
By the way, I was bribed not only by the zoom, but also by the possibility of quick publication online, in my work it is very important, especially at some presentation.
Conclusion
Our Moto Hasselblad module is sold for 20 thousand rubles. Of course, the price tag is not the most budgetary, but the device is, in fact, unique. On the one hand, you get a significant improvement in the photo capabilities of your smartphone and a cool 10x zoom, but on the other, you do not need to carry this module with you all the time.
I understand that the module is niche and expensive, but I really liked it. One or two – and the smartphone turned into an excellent camera for landscapes.
