The Sandmarc 48mm Tetraprism lens is a telephoto that you can add to an iPhone tele (5x, 4x or 8x depending on the model) that will double that focal length. In this video I test it out and compare it to ReeFlex and Shiftcam. (Note: I did not compare any Shiftcam footage in this video as my lens from them needs to be replaced)
