We have tried the kit to transform Xiaomi 15 Ultra into a camera

During our trip to Singapore for the launch of Little F7 Ultra we wanted to re -test Xiaomi 15 Ultra (here the review), this time together with his photographic kitWhat we remind you of is only available for free with the purchase until today 31 March.

The photography kit was significantly updated Compared to that of Xiaomi 14 Ultra and we will tell you here what our experience was. The first component is a Cblack over with red edges. Certainly, the aesthetic aspect can have a certain impact on the choice of using a coverage and it must be admitted that this solution with red details may not be for everyone. Around the camera there is a metal ring of the same color, which you can unscrew (by pressing a small final button) to replace it with one of the other two supplied: the black and that to be able to take advantage of the photographic filters.

This is the only real hardware difference that influences the photos you take. But don’t underestimate the rest.

In addition to the cover, which you may also want to use every day, then there is An extra block To slide on the lower part of the coverage and connects with a USB-C connector with the smartphone. Is one grip In short, a thickness to keep the smartphone -stiff grip when photographing with one hand (but not alone). Like all the cams of cameras, this also has one Series of physical checks. We have a double shot button (with a focus on intermediate pressure). This can be sewn to this one of the two excellent tests. I am very comfortable to improve the natural recognition of the position of the finger on the Shot button. There are also two small rubbers if you prefer a softer click. Unfortunately I lost one of the two keys, because I “played” as a kind of “scaccienspensieri”.

One of this year’s novelties is the presence of a point to place the thumb naturally and to improve the grip, but without touching the screen (in the video I wrongly called it palm support). This component can also be removed by screwing out its relative lives. We then have a final button to prevent the grip from being paraded, a hole for the Laccetto and another USB-C port (which will now be on the long side) for charging the handle itself and smartphone. In fact, this component also contributes 2,000 mAh in Powerbank Who can only load the smartphone when descending under a certain threshold or simply connected.

In addition to the Shot button, we also have a zoom lever, a video shut button and a ring. All these checks are programmable in various functions, as you can see in the screenshots below.

The photography kit is not a tool with which the smartphone can take more beautiful photos: the smartphone remains that, except for the possibility of using photographic filters.

But because the goodness of a recording is also largely thanks to the photographer, who excels the photography kit and improve the controls, flexibility and especially the ease of the photographer to express themselves at the best.

I 199 € sought -after On the Mi.com website They are probably an excessive costs for the ordinary user, whose objective advantage would be limited, but if you buy an Xiaomi 15 Ultra and above all because of its photographic skills and wants it to replace a camera during a vacation, it is difficult not to recommend these further costs.

For your curiosity we leave you a few other recordings in Singapore with Xiaomi 15 Ultra with the photography kit installed.
