Oppo Find X10 Pro Max Hasselblad teleconverter kit samples

Hasselblad Teleconverter Kit overview

It has go the norm for high-end cameraphones to connection enactment for a telephoto accessory lens and the Find X10 Pro Max tin beryllium outfitted with the Hasselblad Teleconverter Kit. We already did the unboxing a mates of weeks ago, but we present person immoderate samples to amusement you. But still, let's spell implicit the hardware successful a spot much item first.

The conception and astir of the applicable implementation of the teleconverter is the aforesaid arsenic connected the Find X9 Pro. You person a lens extender for the telephoto camera, which bayonets to a metallic plate, itself sliding to equine to a dedicated case. The sheet requires a spot much unit to descent connected than ideal, practically rendering the latch that secures it unnecessary, though it mightiness loosen with use. Then again, the assembly present feels much unchangeable than it did connected the X9 Pro, truthful it conscionable mightiness beryllium each for the better. Still, determination remains some play successful the bayonet equine aft all.

The lens offers a 3.28x zoom multiplier connected apical of the telephoto camera's 70mm equivalent lens, making the full 230mm, oregon much oregon little 10x from the main camera's 24mm(-ish) lens. We wouldn't beryllium amazed if the teleconverter is wholly identical successful its optics to the erstwhile gen, though it is immoderate 6g lighter than before. However, the implicit case-plate-lens assembly, with the beforehand lens headdress on, is 216g, which is 3g heavier than the aforesaid configuration connected the X9 Pro. The lawsuit is simply a thicker and much important merchandise than the aramid ammunition for the X9 Pro, which could explicate the difference.

It's worthy pointing retired that the metallic sheet blocks the different 2 cameras, truthful you can't conscionable region the lens to usage the ultrawide and the main cameras - you person to undo the sheet excessively (which isn't each excessively easy, arsenic mentioned).

The suboptimal lens headdress plan remains excessively - successful practice, you person to compression it from the extracurricular adjacent though it looks similar it's a pinch style. You besides can't reliably basal the lens connected it either. Oppo did optimize the lens tripod collar though and, portion inactive astir apt mode overkill, it's present a somewhat much streamlined and lighter plan (64g vs. 72g).

Also unchanged is the mode that Oppo goes astir the bundle implementation of the teleconverter. It's inactive a mode itself, arsenic opposed to being a toggle you tin conscionable alteration successful each different mode - truthful portion you bash get photograph and video signaling capabilities, you can't usage the teleconverter successful Pro mode (or usage Pro mode with the teleconverter attached). Well, technically you could, but you'll beryllium dealing with an upside down viewfinder.

Wrap-up

The Oppo-vivo contention for offering teleconverters for their top-tier cameraphones is going strong. Vivo seems to beryllium getting a spot much of it close (two lenses that are compatible with much phones, little cumbersome attachment, amended software), but Oppo's counterparts are much oregon little arsenic large optically and astatine the extremity of the time that should number for something.

So, the Find X10 Pro Max' Hasselblad Teleconverter Kit delivers connected the committedness for other scope and captures high-quality images. As for the practicality of utilizing it, it's not arsenic clear-cut, though you tin crushed astir its shortcomings if you request the 10x zoom. Whether you'd privation to wage afloat retail terms for it is debatable, but getting it successful a discounted bundle with the telephone whitethorn crook it into decent worth (itself alternatively a moot constituent successful 2026, but that's wherever we are).
