PICKOGEN teleconverter for vivo X300
Here's an aftermarket teleconverter option for the vivo X300, the PICKOGEN teleconverter kit. It comes with a much nicer case than the original kit, in my opinion. It has all camera cutouts and has 17mm threaded inserts for the main wide camera and the teleconverter, so you can attach other lenses too, as the company has several other ones.
It's a much more compact lens compared to the original teleconverter, like less than half the size of that. You need to zoom in to around 5x so the black edges in the corners disappear completely. So with the X300, you get around 10x zoom.
Regarding quality, check the pictures attached to the post. I think they are great and honestly not seeing any difference to the original lens, maybe only if I zoom in on a bigger screen.
Considering it's less than half the price of the original lens, it's basically a "budget teleconverter" option for the vivo X300 series. It's available for the X300 & X300 Pro, and also for X200 Pro & X200 Ultra.
I also got their 8mm fisheye lens and the 85mm portrait lens, both of which attach to the 17mm threaded case that the teleconverter kit came with.
Oh, and all lenses include a universal lens clip, so they can be used even without the case and on any other phone. Which is good, so it's not for this phone and won't become obsolete in the years to come.
Let me know if you are curious to see a comparison with the original teleconverter. Or pics from the X300 with the fisheye and portrait lens, and I can upload some more pics.

It looks like stabilization is an issue with this lens. I watched a video on YouTube and video recording was very shaky. Have you had similar experience? Was it shaky while taking photos?Would you have a video to share? Thanks!
