  • That's some proper MacGuyver shit! 😀

    Two questions:

    • is that a car battery?!
    • what is that lens actually for (why don't you just use the macro mode of your phone)?
  • It's a 12V gel battery about 150mm long - standby battery for an alarm system, 'rescued' from a skip at work. Normally I'd use a mains adapter, but it happened to be on the bench at the time.

    The lens was needed for use with my previous phone - a Nokia slide (2200?) with limited capabilities: nailing an additional lens in front made enough of a difference.

    Current phone is an elderly Galaxy A10 - as far as I know, it doesn't have a macro mode. Will investigate Mrs. E's (newer) phone and report back...
