By far the easiest electronic video device I’ve set up and I’ve worked in the industry for years. Glad that it has a direct connection and doesn’t require a connection to home WiFi and therefore Russians spies. I recommend this, even though this is just the first day, and the wide angle lens which you need to buy extra. It would be great if the wide angle lens was the default one but I won’t dock them any stars because it works well so far.

I use this extender with my 70-200/2.8, 300, 400, and 500mm tele lenses for wildlife shooting (hobby). My cameras: 7D, now upgraded to a 7D II, and a 5D III. Important in particular for 2x TC users: both latter cameras still provide an active center field autofocus with lens+TC combos that have an F/8 initial aperture. In particular every birder knows: you can't get enough focal length. And if you don't want to invest in - and carry - a super huge & heavy 800mm lens, you have to have TC's in your backpack. I use Canon's very good 1.4x MK III TC frequently, and less frequently this 2x TC. Many reviewer's here explained already the 2x TC's technical pros and cons in detail. In real life, according to my experience, you can break it down to those three items that really count:(1) images lose visibly sharpness and get softer, in particular in the edges (full frame) but with re-sharpening during post-processing (or sharper pre-settings in your camera) you can get acceptably good results (= you still can see feather/fur textures) IF...(2)... there is enough light available (!!) for a - with many lenses - quite slow combo AND...(3)... the object does not move too fast and unpredictable, because AF will work as sluggish as an old digital compact camera (but accurate with a carefully micro adjusted camera).This may also be important for you:- Oh no, you can't combine Canon's Mark III 1.4x with 2x TC's to shoot man's first footsteps on Moon from Earth. Canon prevented this mechanically, not only by some sort of pins (you could easily remove): the whole TC's do fit because their lens systems extend from their bodies and would collide before their bayonets snap together. Don't complain, be sure that the image quality of such combos would be too lousy anyway for modern high res sensors. If you need extreme focal lengths check if digiscoping (mostly without AF) would be the better solution for you.- Some lenses do not fit with Canon's Mark III TC's because, again, their extended lens systems would literally collide with the back lenses too close to the bayonet. The example in Canon's lens line that I presume is most prone to such a disappointment is the macro lens EF 100mm/2.8 L IS USM. So check the TC's compatibility with the lenses you want to use it with before you hit the order button. Btw you can pimp your macro's magnification by using extension tubes, plenty of good ones with full electronic supply of AF and aperture are available.Final word(s):Given the fact that a 2x TC is always a quite extreme optical compromise, the Canon engineers did a decent job with the Mk III version. But do not expect any wonders. An EF 400/5.6 lens will always be much sharper at 400mm - and focus much quicker - than a 70-200/2.8 II + 2x TC III combo, I can tell from my own experience.Those who just start with the TC business, I'd highly recommend to go first for Canon's 1.4x TC Mk III. It provides less reach but much better optical and AF performance. In practice you can use it much more frequently and get good results.

I am most impressed with the accessories that came with this camera. The plastic case is indeed water proof and I can't wait to photo my Koi under water. I have run it in my vehicle using time lapse and really liked that feature. I'm looking foward to the flowers coming this spring to try the slow motion on blossoms opening. I have pulled the memory card and looked at the pictures on my computer and am very surprised that such a small lens takes such a good picture. I suppose there are cameras slightly better, but value for money it can't be compared to.

When I read about this in a photo magazine I was impressed by the recommendation. At the quoted price I knew from the beginning I was not going to get a high tech piece of photo equipment. So what did I get?The unit appears to be composed of three pieces of plastic. Two, the actual case and the lens holder, appear to be made of polycarbonate. These are not high priced manufacturing components. The third is the lens from which the light is dispersed. The lens is about like you will find on some magnifying glasses or even an electronic flash. There are no other parts. That is it!I purchased the “enhancer/booster” for my Nikon D-90. It comes with a “shoe” built into the unit plus two additional spacers. I will get to those later. I start with my Nikon D-90 that has a 135 mm lens attached for the experiment. Remove the “hot shoe” cover from the top of the camera. It removes easily with absolutely no pressure. Now insert the ROUGE into the hot shoe. That is where the struggle begins. No mater what I try, the shoe will not go into the mount. Finally I am able to force the ROGUE base into about 60% of the mount. I quit at that point , as I don’t want to break it the first day. The ROGUE is not solid in the mount and will actually move a fraction to the left or to the right.I review the instructions again and again. “Firmly push Safari down and forward into the camera hot shoe until it stops”. That is not going to happen however I gave it my best shot.You may have a lens like the one on this unit. It will be similar to a light diffusor you probably have on your flash unit or on a magnifying strip or glass. It is plastic with lots of angled groves in the piece. It is held firmly to the overall unit with a ring on the outside.I turn my power to the camera own and attempt a first shot using all 135 mm at a distance of some thirty feet. Will the built in flash unit clear the ROUGE since I don’t have it all the way into the shoe. No sweat---the built in flash clears the ROGUE with space to spare. The light given out is remarkable. In fact much better than my high priced Nikon flash unit. Now it is time to take the ROGUE off my camera. It is a struggle and once again I just know I am going to break the base.Fortunately I do not.I mentioned two additional spacers. One 8mm and one 5mm. These are to be used to help uplift or adjust you flash. Since they have to attach to the hot shoe slot on the top of your camera. They present the exact same issue as the unit itself. The pieces just will not easily slot into the mount. Now can you slot the unit into the 8mm spacer. You sure can. It works perfectly and goes in rather easily.Now I know what my problem is. The Nikon D-90. Since I also have a Nikon D-80 I will just use the ROGUE on the D-80. Sorry, but the hassle and results are identical. I cannot get the base to slide more than about 60% into the shoe. It just will not go. Once again the ROGUE is not completely steady once I leave it in the 60% position.I now wonder if the writer of the photo magazine article actually used a ROGUE. If he/she did, why did they not come up with the same issues I did?One last thought. Perhaps I was sent the wrong booster. I recheck the package, “Nikon DSLR-DX” and checked in Green on the package. Nope---that appears to be correct.Bottom line---the ROGUE does what it says it will. The construction though needs improvement and if the company does not make the unit easier to fit onto the camera, it will not be long before an import shows up on the market that will fit. This unit is made in the USA. I would recommend not leaving the ROGUE on your camera and using it only when the need arises.

This kit is great! Comes with a neat USB rechargeable light, the two lenses, lanyard to wear on your neck, lens cloth, and protective carry case. Definitely watch the 4 videos, extremely helpful! Messing around with the macro lens at night with terrible light and not using a tripod as recommended for macro, (but using the included light) I got incredible pictures close up of my dog's collar. Can't wait for gardening season to start so I can get going with flowers and bugs!

These are huge goggles, but for a really good reason. They fit over your eyeglasses. On top of that, the lens pops out (magnetically) so you can see without the tint. Then you just snap them back into place, super easy. The lens also have an antifog coating. The goggles are comfortable to wear, come with a soft and hard shell case. The hard shell case is pretty durable. I would say they are on the expensive side, but if they last longer than a few years, I'd say they are worth the money.

I like how compact it is for an accessory. I took side by side pictures to better understand the wide angle lens.I was primarily interested in the micro lens since I like to experiment with close up shots of objects.The material is what I expected and has a good weight and feel to it.Have you thought of doing a photo challenge with your iPhone and Android users using the lenses?It would be a great way to promote your product and I'm sure you'd receive some amazing photos!

GUYS. I FINALLY FOUND THE PERFECT WIDE LENS. I got a cheaper one and the quality was so bad and the edges were black, BUT XENVO IS PERFECT. Easy to put on the phone (I have the iPhone XS) and they give you the macro lens, a light (it comes in handy!) and a freaking travel kit with a lanyard. I actually lost my lanyard but I emailed them and they will be sending me a new one for free. I’m so happy I made the choice to buy it, I was a bit skeptical, but it was completely worth it.
