Take your mobile photography experience to the next level with SwitchLens – instantly transform any smartphone into a professional camera via Wi-Fi with interchangeable lenses. With its user-friendly design, all you need to do is snap it on to your smartphone, and you’re ready to start capturing the most remarkable, visually stunning photographs and videos.
SwitchLens offers exceptional photo quality due to several key features. It is designed around the versatile micro four thirds system, providing a vast selection of lenses for various photography styles. The Large CMOS sensor in SwitchLens is twice as large as those in flagship smartphones, capturing more light and delivering high-resolution, quality images. The Peaking Focus illuminates sharply focused areas, ensuring sharpness in critical areas of a photograph. It also supports real light photography, capturing images untouched by AI enhancements. Most importantly, it is super portable, so you can take it wherever you go.
SwitchLens is designed around the versatile micro four thirds (M43, M4/3, MFT) system, providing you with an impressive arsenal of lenses to select from. Whether you’re shooting landscape, portrait, or any scene that requires a specific visual style, you can easily choose a lens that perfectly aligns with your needs and the desired effect. The possibilities are limitless. The best part is you can use all your existing M43 compatible lenses (eg. Panasonic / Olympus) with SwitchLens. Another advantage of this system is the lens sizes are smaller and lighter in weight, making it easier to carry on your travels.
SwitchLens connects to your smartphone through Wi-Fi, allowing it to operate without physically attaching to your phone. This feature gives you the flexibility to position it at any angle, enabling you to capture challenging shots. Its design encourages creative photography and is perfect for taking selfies.
Experience the highest quality selfies you’ve ever taken. SwitchLens allows you to capture selfies with the best camera available. And you’ll be able to easily check all the details before every snap.
SwitchLens supports microSD cards up to 1.5TB, allowing you to store all your photos or a backup to free up space on your phone. You have the option to save photos either on your phone, in SwitchLens storage, or on both.
Take full advantage of your smartphone’s full screen to preview every shot before you capture. This will eliminate any unnecessary retakes and save you time, so you will never miss the moment.
Weighing only 180g/6.3oz (200g/7oz with battery), SwitchLens is super lightweight and extremely portable. You can take it everywhere you go so you will always be ready to capture life’s funniest and most important experiences. The 14500 rechargeable battery is AA sized and can conveniently be found online or electronic stores and camera outlets everywhere.
While there’s nothing inherently wrong with photos taken with smartphones, they often undergo automatic corrections via AI. These corrections can impact the natural beauty of the images. SwitchLens aims to reintroduce you to the beauty of authentic light photography that’s untouched by AI enhancements.
The Peaking Focus is an innovative feature designed to enhance the photography experience. It works by illuminating sharply focused areas in vibrant, eye-catching colors. This visual aid allows photographers to quickly and easily identify which areas of their subject or scene are in clear focus. This feature is particularly useful for ensuring sharpness in critical areas of a photograph, thereby reducing the chance of capturing blurry or out-of-focus images. This feature will help you to create more visually striking and professional-quality photos.
The CMOS sensor in SwitchLens, which is responsible for capturing the image in digital cameras, is much larger than those in any smartphone on the market. In fact, the Sony Type 1 sensor in SwitchLens is twice as large and the full sensor is exposed to light, allowing it to capture twice as much light and deliver images of much higher resolution and quality. For even better performance, the true M43 CMOS sensor upgrade is available in the add-on section.
The SwitchLens is compatible with iOS and Android smartphones. It is designed to attach to any MagSafe / Qi2 device and phone cases with the magnetic ring on the back. This will fit almost all current smartphones on the market. You can continue to use SwitchLens even if you switch to a new smartphone.

The vision for SwitchLens is an extra portable phone accessory that you can take everywhere without adding bulk and weight. The design needs to be sleek and compact. We also want it to match well as an extension of your smartphones and not stick out like a sore thumb. At the same time, it should still look like a camera. It is with these concepts that we designed the SwitchLens.
