Wide-Angle Clip-On Lens for Laptops

Do you have some old clip-on lenses laying around for your phone? They came with like a fish-eye, a zoom, a macro, and a wide-angle? Well re-purpose your wide-angle!!! The other day I had a Gracie University Jiu-Jitsu Zoom class and kept having to adjust the angle of my laptop because the camera couldn’t fit me in the frame. Then, while noticing that the camera looks just like the ones on our phones, it hit me. I ran upstairs and grabbed my 4 year old, Aukey Ora 120˚ Lens and put it over my laptop screen’s camera. It landed perfect and gave me the needed breadth in camera. Most people can get away with utilizing their smartphone for most meetings, but if you want to do a demonstration, you need some room. SO if you have one of these old clip-on lenses, keep it close, it will come in handy!
