# Universal Phone-Camera Clips The Olloclip X Easily Adapts Lenses to Multiple Smartphone Designs By Justin Lam | Published 2018-08-31 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olloclip-x References: [digitaltrends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/photography/olloclip-multi-device-clip-announced/#/4) & [olloclip](https://www.olloclip.com/) Very few smartphone lenses cross devices and operating systems but the Olloclip X is an exception that can easily adapt to mobile lenses on almost any device. Designed to work with the company's Connect X lenses, this multi-device clip leverages the use of an expanding design. According to company, the Olloclip X easily adapts for proper alignment between the lens and device's built-in camera. This keeps the lens flush over the glass and ensures the lens works properly with the device. The universal nature of the Olloclip X does come with one downside. Because the clip isn't designed for a specific device, users will have to switch the orientation of the clip to move from the front to back camera. However, this is easily accomplished and the clip is incredibly intuitive to realign. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Universal Phone-camera Clips:** The trend of universal phone-camera clips allows for easy adaptation of lenses to multiple smartphone designs. - **Cross-device Lens Compatibility:** The trend of cross-device lens compatibility enables users to use the same lenses across different smartphones and operating systems. - **Expanding Design Technology:** The trend of expanding design technology allows for proper alignment between lenses and device's built-in cameras on various smartphones. ### Who This Affects Most - **Mobile Accessories:** The mobile accessories industry can explore the disruptive innovation opportunity of creating universal phone-camera clips for easy lens adaptation. - **Smartphone Manufacturing:** The smartphone manufacturing industry has the potential to integrate cross-device lens compatibility into their designs, providing convenience for users. - **Photography Equipment:** The photography equipment industry can leverage expanding design technology to create versatile lens attachments that work seamlessly with different smartphone models. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pro-Grade Smartphone Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchlens.md) - [Adjustable Clip Smartphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phoneclip.md) - [Photographer-Grade Smartphone Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiftcam-lensultra-explorer-series.md) - [Pro-Approved Smartphone Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-tseries-mobile-lenses.md) - [Detachable Mobile Camera Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-camera-lens.md) - [Full Lens-Equipped Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-2.md) - [Macro Smartphone Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-1.md) - [Pro-Grade Aftermarket Smartphone Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandmarc-telephoto-6x.md) - [Photography-Centric Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ax-phone.md)
