Such device not only the photographer will be interested in a smartphone. Consider the inscriptions on the bills, the details of the electronics or the small details of the watch, all this is possible with the help of this device. The nozzle made by the Master has small dimensions, protection from scratches on the smartphone and is made from the lens of an old camera.

Step One: Select a Camera
For homemade any film camera will fit until the 90s of the last century.
Step Two: Lens
Now you need to disassemble the camera and remove the lens from it.
The camera has several lenses. For macro photography you need a lens with a convex surface.
Step Three: Handset
Next, the master measures the diameter of the body of the macro lens and picks up an aluminum tube under it. Sandpaper P-800 polishes the surface of the tube.
Fourth step: marking the holder
Marks on the tube with a marker. Lens holder 10 mm, clothespin length 85 mm, clothespin width 5 mm.
Step Five: Making the Holder
Tightens the tube. Drills two holes as in the photo.
Cuts off a tube according to a marking.
It turns the tube 180 degrees and makes a cut to previously drilled holes.
Clips the tube end up and cuts it lengthwise.
Such detail should turn out.
It removes sharp edges with a file, polishes end surfaces with sandpaper.
Step Six: Flexion
Now you need to make a clamp. Bends metal, as in the photo.
The first attempt failed.
After cutting out the new holder, the master made the first bend and made markings for the second.
To do this, install the lens in the handset, place the device on the phone and mark the thickness of the phone on the clip with a marker.
Then bends the clamp at a right angle.
In the middle of the remaining part makes another bend of 10-20 degrees.
Cuts off the excess part of the clamp and grinds the edge to a semicircular shape.
The holder has acquired this form.
Seventh step: lens mount
Now you need to fix the lens in the holder. On the holders makes markings and drills three holes for screws.
Mounts and mounts the lens.
Step Eight: Leather Pad
To protect the smartphone case from scratches, the master made a leather cover.
Step Nine: Using the Lens
With the lens you can see very small things. The part in question should be placed in a well-lit place, and the distance between it and the lens should be less than 1 centimeter.
Examples of shooting.
As you can see, there is nothing difficult in the manufacture of devices for macro photography, and it is available to anyone.
