My mobile, an LG G3, takes pretty good macros but I'd like to get closer to small insects. Has anyone found a good clip on or magnetic lens for this purpose? There are lots of cheap ones available but the iq doesn't look very good.
Thanks
Sean

Not quite answering your question, but have you thought about a diy approach ?
That way you can get the quality you want.
I've seen ideas to make them with every thing from a laser pointer lens through to cannibalizing a dead p&s.
A google for "diy phone macro" should give a good start.

They make magnifier apps, that allow you to choose your magnification point and take the picture...check your app store in Play Store.

I've seen those apps but they are basically digital zooms, I think?
