It can be easier and more efficient to take selfies, film vlogs, and stream live when using the Niceyrig Aluminum Smartphone Mount Mirrorfrom Niceyrig. It saves considerable setup time, especially when filming solo, while letting you use the higher quality rear cameras on your phone. With your phone and this smartphone mount attached to a tripod, handheld gimbal, or extension arm, you can use the attached acrylic mirror to make sure the shot is properly setup. There's 360° of rotation on the mirror and its connecting arm, so you can easily angle it to see the phone's display and ensure you're properly in frame, or turn it so you can see yourself and confirm you're ready to be filmed.

The mount itself has a spring-loaded clamp that can accommodate phones from 5.5 to 7" in width, and it can attach to a tripod and other accessories via a combo 1/4" threaded cold shoe connector.

When in place, you get nearly the same amount of freedom to adjust the phone as you do the acrylic mirror. It offers 360° of phone rotation, a base that swivels/rotates 180°, and 180° of damping tilt.

You can further enhance your content by attaching optional accessories to the phone clamp's dual cold shoe mounts, such as an LED fill light and external microphone.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this lens have any noticeable comatic aberration?

A: We have not heard of any noticeable chromatic aberration with this lens to date.

Q: 2. I would like to try this lens for deep sky photography. What light pollution filter should I use?

A: A couple of very good choices for a light pollution filter, (depending in many ways on the amount of pollution and the type of pollution an individual is experiencing), would be the NiSi 95mm Natural Night Filter https://bhpho.to/2WRqS6R or the B+W 95mm UV/IR Cut MRC 486M Filter: https://bhpho.to/31Mv4IP. It is important to keep in mind that the artificial light-blocking power of these filters also affects the natural colors found in the night sky.

Q: 3. Stopped down, on a tripod, does it get sharp?

A: The Opteka 500mm F/6.3 Mirror Lens has a fixed aperture of f6.3 which means it cannot be stopped down or opened up. All photos are shot at f6.3 due to the design of a mirror lens. Using a lens on a tripod will prevent camera hake blur which helps improve the sharpness in a photo.

Q: 4. Is there a T mount adapter for this Opteka mirror lens that will fit an L mount FF camera?

A: Yes, there are T-mount adapters to adapt the Opteka 500mm f/6.3 Mirror Lens for T Mount to the L-mount. Currently we have the Leica T2 Digiscoping Adapter, BH #LEDAT2T (https://bhpho.to/3P0XHuW).

Q: 5. Will this work with a Nikon D3500?

A: It is a manual lens so it will work. You will need one of these adapters https://bhpho.to/2ZSLj53.

Q: 6. Would it be possible to adapt a 67-mm ND filter to the rear 35-mm filter thread? How might this affect the image for Canon APS-C?

A: No, not at all.

Q: 7. Does it pose any problems when shooting with a non full frame camera like the Canon 70D?

A: No, there shouldn't be any issue when using this on a non full frame camera. Just keep in mind that there will be an effective crop factor of 1.6x on a camera like the Canon EOS 70D DSLR Camera, which would be an 800mm full frame equivalent. Also, in order to adapt the lens to a Canon EOS 70D, you will need an adapter such as this one: https://bhpho.to/3Pb8G63

Q: 8. Will it fit a canon AE-1 35mm film camera?

A: Opteka 500mm f/6.3 Mirror Lens for T Mount is compatible with the Canon AE1 but you also need to get this FD to T mount adapter. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/116734-REG/General_Brand_ATC_T_Mount_SLR_Camera_Adapter.html

Q: 9. Will this work with a Canon EOS T100 with the T-mount adapter for EF/EF-S mounts? I notice it's pretty large and I'm wondering if the flash protrusion which sticks out about 9/16 of an inch on the T100 would interfere with this fitting correctly.

A: Yes it will fit the T100. It is manual focus only and your camera will only work in manual or aperture priority exposure modes.

Q: 10. What is the magnification factor at minimum focus distance?

A: Unfortunately, this information is not published by the manufacturer.
