Got an old pair of binocs from your opera-going days? Okay, from your bird-watching days? No? How about from randomly buying them at a flea market six months ago? Our latest Kickstarter find, Snapzoom, will help you turn them into the fanciest smartphone lens we’ve ever seen.

Got an old pair of binocs from your opera-going days? Okay, from your bird-watching days? No? How about from randomly buying them at a flea market six months ago? Our latest Kickstarter find, Snapzoom, will help you turn them into the fanciest smartphone lens we’ve ever seen.


A project by Daniel Fujikake and Mac Nguyen of HI Resolution Enterprises, Snapzoom is the first universal smartphone adapter that turns ordinary binoculars into super telephoto lenses. It can even attach a telescope to your smartphone instead of a telephoto lens.

Snapzoom also makes pretty incredible video footage – we love this short video of the gorgeous Golden Gate Bridge.

All in all, we dig the idea of buying an adapter instead of a crazy telephoto lens, especially when we’re dealing with phoneography. A Kickstarter pledge of $70 will get you your very own Snapzoom, expected to ship in September 2013. Go for $90 and get a pair of binoculars as well. Awesome!
