FREEWELL 1.7x Telephoto Lens for iPhone & Samsung camera accessory

SKU CH-NN0A-HY21Q

  • 7× optical zoom brings distant subjects closer with clarity
  • 18-layer anti-reflective coating on premium glass reduces glare for sharp images
  • 17 mm threaded mount fits a wide range of smartphones securely
  • 60 cm minimum focus distance captures fine detail at range
  • Aluminium alloy construction withstands outdoor shooting conditions

Mobile telephoto reach

The Freewell 1.7x Telephoto Lens extends a smartphone’s focal length by 1.7 times, bringing distant subjects closer with clarity. It is built for mobile photography enthusiasts who want tighter framing without digital zoom. The lens threads onto a 17mm mount found on compatible cases or rigs. Premium optical glass and an 18-layer coating reduce glare and distortion for crisp results.

Upgrading from digital zoom

This lens replaces the lossy digital zoom built into most phones by providing true optical magnification. The jump is worth it when you need sharp portraits, wildlife frames or distant landscapes at 1.7x without resolution penalties. A minimum focus distance of 60cm (23.62") allows detailed shots even at the longer focal length. The aluminum alloy body stands up to outdoor use.

Check your case and main camera

Before ordering, verify that your phone case or rig has a 17mm threaded mount that aligns with the 1x main camera. The lens must sit securely on that thread to avoid vignetting or instability. If your case lacks the specific 17mm thread, the lens will not attach. Ensure the main camera is the one positioned at the thread centre.

Questions about this item

What thread size does the Freewell 1.7x Telephoto Lens need on my phone case or rig?

The lens mounts to a 17mm threaded mount on the smartphone case or genius rig for a secure connection to the 1x main camera.

How do I install the Freewell 1.7x Telephoto Lens and what step is often missed?

Twist the lens onto the 17mm thread until it seats firmly; the step people miss is aligning it precisely with the 1x main camera so the optical axis stays centred.

Will the 18-layer coating on the Freewell 1.7x Telephoto Lens wear off and need replacement?

The double-sided 18-layer ultra-low reflective coating is bonded to the premium optical glass and does not wear off under normal use, so the lens does not require coating replacement.
