We previously tried out the photography kit in our OPPO Find X9 Pro review. In that video, we briefly introduced it but didn’t go into detail about its advantages. In this article, I want to fill in the parts we didn’t mention in the video. So if you haven’t watched it yet, you can check out the video below. After getting a general idea from the video, this article will help you decide whether the kit is worth buying.
First of all, this phone case included in the kit, is my favorite among all photography kits from any brand. It’s made of aramid fiber, which protects the phone without making it bulky. You can easily use it as an everyday case.
It also has a magnetic ring on the back, so it works with all MagSafe accessories. But its biggest purpose is still to attach the handle.
The handle can be quickly detached, supports vertical shooting, and even wireless charging. The orange shutter button and the lens cap with the “H” logo also highlight the collaboration between OPPO and Hasselblad.
The photography kit also includes a metal lens holder. This helps keep the setup balanced when mounted on a tripod.
The teleconverter lens has a diameter of around 4 cm and a length of about 12 cm. Inside are 13 glass elements, with a magnification of 3.28x. Once attached to the phone, it provides 10x magnification—equivalent to a 230 mm focal length—and can go up to 40x. Because the extended focal length comes from an actual optical lens group, the image quality is noticeably sharper compared to digitally zooming the phone to 10x.
Besides the sharper image quality, the teleconverter has three additional advantages:
- Shallower depth of field
- Avoiding AI enhancements that might otherwise ruin your photos
- Still allowing you to shoot Live Photos in HASSELBLAD TELECONVERTER mode
To sum up: if you need ultra-long-distance shooting and want something lightweight—without buying a large, heavy telephoto lens and camera—the OPPO × Hasselblad photography kit is definitely one of the best options. Especially in situations where you can’t bring a tripod (such as concerts or product launches), this kit can deliver surprisingly good results.
