Apexel Macro Lens 100mm HD with CPL Filter and 1.4" Phone Mount (Apl-hb100cpl)

The Apexel Macro Lens 100mm HD with CPL Filter and 1.4" Phone Mount (Apl-hb100cpl) is a mobile photography kit intended for detailed close-up imaging. The kit combines a 100mm HD macro lens optimized for high-resolution reproduction of small subjects, a circular polarizing (CPL) filter to reduce surface reflections and enhance color contrast, and a 1.4" phone mount that secures the lens to compatible smartphones. The components are sized and balanced for handheld use and intended to improve detail capture of subjects such as insects, flowers, textures and small product items.

Advantages

The 100mm HD macro lens provides extended working distance compared with shorter focal-length macro attachments, allowing easier illumination and subject access while maintaining high detail resolution. The included CPL filter reduces unwanted reflections on non-metallic surfaces and increases perceived color saturation and contrast without digital processing. The 1.4" phone mount enables consistent alignment of the lens with a smartphone camera and simplifies setup for field or studio use. The kit is compact and portable for mobile photographers who require improved macro performance without dedicated camera bodies.

Suitable for

• Close-up photography of insects and small wildlife
• Product photography of small items for online listings
• Plant and flower detail shots, including textures and pollen
• Macro texture and material studies for design and documentation

Key specifications

• Optical type: 100mm HD macro lens designed for mobile cameras
• Filter: Circular polarizing (CPL) filter for reflection control and contrast enhancement
• Mount: 1.4" phone mount for secure attachment to compatible smartphones
• Working distance: extended for comfortable lighting and subject access (typical for 100mm macro optics)
• Compatibility: Designed for use with smartphones that accept a 1.4" clamp-style mount
• Use case: Close-up imaging of small objects and fine detail reproduction

How to use

Attach the 1.4" phone mount to your smartphone according to the mount instructions, aligning the mount so the phone camera lens sits centered behind the macro lens. Screw or secure the 100mm HD macro lens into the mount and, if needed, rotate the CPL filter to the front of the lens to adjust and reduce reflections. Position the phone and lens assembly at the appropriate distance from the subject; the extended working distance typical of a 100mm macro lens allows room for lighting and gentle composition adjustments. Use the phone's manual focus or focus lock features if available, and adjust exposure settings to retain fine detail. Hold the assembly steady or use a small tripod or support for the sharpest results.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use stable support and controlled lighting when photographing small subjects; diffuse light reduces harsh shadows and helps reveal texture. Rotate the CPL filter while observing the preview on your phone screen to find the best balance between reflection reduction and color rendering. When shooting reflective surfaces or wet subjects, check multiple angles to minimize remaining glare. Clean optical surfaces before use and store components in protective cases to maintain image quality over time.
