The Vivo ZEISS 2.35x Telephoto Extender Kit increases a compatible phone camera's focal reach by 2.35×, allowing tighter framing of distant subjects without replacing the primary lens. ZEISS-engineered premium optics with multi-layer coatings are used to maintain contrast, sharpness and color fidelity. The kit includes the telephoto extender, an adapter ring for attachment to the phone body, a phone cover specific to the kit version, and two metal decorative rings (one pre-installed on the cover).
Advantages
The ZEISS optics and multi-layer coatings help deliver clear, high-contrast images with accurate colors. A 2.35× lossless magnification expands framing options for portraits, wildlife, sports and travel shots while keeping image quality. The extender and adapter are housed in a robust aluminum alloy design that is lightweight enough for travel yet durable for regular use. The kit provides all required mounting accessories for a quick setup.
Suitable for
- Portrait photography with tighter framing
- Wildlife and bird photography at moderate distances
- Sports and event photography where extra reach is needed
- Travel and landscape details from a distance
When it may not be suitable
This telephoto extender is intended for compatible smartphone camera systems and requires the included adapter and cover for proper mounting; it may not fit phones outside the supported models. For extreme long-range photography or professional telephoto needs, a dedicated long focal-length lens or optical zoom system may still be necessary.

How to use
Attach the supplied phone cover to your device, fit the adapter/ring to the phone body and mount the 2.35× telephoto extender onto the adapter.

What to consider before purchase
- Check phone compatibility and whether the included phone cover matches your device model.

- Verify that the kit meets your expectations for build material and portability.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use the Vivo ZEISS 2.35x Telephoto Extender Kit in good light, stabilize the phone (tripod or steady hand) for distant subjects, and keep the lens surfaces clean and capped when not in use to maintain image quality.
