360 Degrees Panoramic Lens for iPhone

The 360 Degrees Panoramic Lens for iPhone is a snap-on accessory from Lucent that clips over your phone and sits two super-wide fisheye lenses over the front and rear cameras. It is not a camera on its own. It uses your iPhone's existing cameras to capture a full 360-degree view, so you can shoot panoramas and "tiny planet" photos with a single tap.

It runs on the free PanoClip app. You download PanoClip from the App Store, activate it with the QR code on the instructions, then attach the clip so the front and rear cameras line up. Hold the phone still for about five seconds until it vibrates and the shot is done. From there you can save or share 360 photos, screenshots and animations like tiny planet, starry sky and crystal ball to Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp and other apps.

Pick the version that matches your phone. It comes in three fits: iPhone 7/8, iPhone 7 Plus/8 Plus, and iPhone X. A thick protective case can throw off the alignment, so you may need to take your case off for a clean shot, and the lenses need to stay clean and fingerprint-free for the best result.
