Start With the Mount, Not the Accessories
Most phone lens kits fail at the same point: the attachment. Clip-on accessories need a camera near the edge of the phone, and the clip often covers part of the screen. The Ninja system takes a different route. A magnetic core sticks to the back of your phone using an included metal plate, and every accessory slides and rotates into place on that core. Because the core can sit anywhere on the phone, it works with any smartphone or tablet regardless of where the camera is positioned.
That design choice is the reason to consider the Ninja Magnetic Kit as a system rather than a bag of separate gadgets. If the mount works for your phone, the rest of the kit becomes useful; if it doesn't, no single accessory will save the setup.
What the Kit Includes and How It Attaches
- Ninja Complete Kit - Creative Universal & Magnetic Accessories for Smartphones: Ninja Magnetic Core, Mirage Mirror, Window Hood, 55mm Lens Hood, 20x Macro Lens, 55mm Filter Adapter, 55mm Filter Set (5): Includes the Ninja Magnetic core, 55mm filter adapter, 55mm creative filter set, 20x Macro Lens, Lens Hood, Flexible Window Hood, mounting plates, and a custom-fit carrying case. One purchase covers mounting, filtration, close-up work, and light control, so you are not hunting for separate adapters later.

This is the compatibility step that determines whether the magnetic core will hold securely on your specific phone and case combination.

You can switch orientation without removing and repositioning the whole mount, which matters for video and quick framing changes.
The 20x Macro Lens: A Close-Up Tool With a Narrow Job
The 20x Macro Lens is the accessory most likely to surprise you, in both good and frustrating ways. It behaves more like a loupe or microscope than a normal lens: the focal distance is very shallow, and you must place the lens over the actual object you are photographing for it to focus properly. That makes it excellent for stamps, jewelry, coins, and fabric textures, where you can bring the phone right down to the subject. It is not the tool for photographing a flower from a foot away.
The lens also uses additional glass elements to correct distortion, so straight lines stay straighter in close-up shots. If your phone photography is mostly landscapes or portraits, this accessory will spend more time in the case than on the camera. If you shoot small objects and details, it earns its place.
Macro Lens Evidence
- Ninja Complete Kit - Creative Universal & Magnetic Accessories for Smartphones: Ninja Magnetic Core, Mirage Mirror, Window Hood, 55mm Lens Hood, 20x Macro Lens, 55mm Filter Adapter, 55mm Filter Set (5): The Macro lens works like a loupe or microscope with a very shallow focal distance and must be placed over the object being photographed to focus. This sets a clear expectation: the 20x macro is for extreme close-ups, not general photography.
- Ninja Complete Kit - Creative Universal & Magnetic Accessories for Smartphones: Ninja Magnetic Core, Mirage Mirror, Window Hood, 55mm Lens Hood, 20x Macro Lens, 55mm Filter Adapter, 55mm Filter Set (5): The macro lens features additional glass elements that correct unwanted lens distortion so straight lines appear straight. Useful when photographing items with edges and patterns, such as stamps or printed materials.
The 55mm Filter Adapter and Filter Set: Where the Kit Gets Practical
The filter adapter is the part that turns the kit from a novelty into a working photography tool. It lets you use virtually any 55mm filter on your phone or tablet, and the opening is large enough to account for the multiple lenses on modern phones, so you are not constantly repositioning it for each lens. The included 55mm filter set covers five common needs: a multi-coated circular polarizer, a star 4, a graduated ND, an ND8, and an ND32.
Using a larger filter on a phone also helps avoid vignetting at the extreme wide angles modern phones can achieve. If you have ever seen dark corners on a phone photo with a small clip-on filter, this is the fix. The polarizer removes unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces and can increase color saturation and contrast, which is useful for water, glass, and foliage. The ND filters cut light for longer exposures or motion blur in bright conditions.
Filter Adapter and Filter Set Details
- Ninja Complete Kit - Creative Universal & Magnetic Accessories for Smartphones: Ninja Magnetic Core, Mirage Mirror, Window Hood, 55mm Lens Hood, 20x Macro Lens, 55mm Filter Adapter, 55mm Filter Set (5): The 55mm filter adapter allows you to use virtually any 55mm filter with your smartphone or tablet. If you already own 55mm filters, this adapter lets you reuse them instead of buying a separate phone-specific filter system.

Directly addresses the dark-corner problem common with small clip-on phone filters.
Lens Hood and Window Hood: When They Help and When They Don't
The included lens hood extends and shades the end of the lens to prevent stray light from entering, and it adds some protection from accidental impact. That is useful outdoors or under strong directional light. The flexible window hood is a different tool: it is made of silicone with three molded suction cups, so it can be applied to most windowed surfaces. If you shoot through windows—trains, planes, or buildings—it helps control reflections. If you never shoot through glass, it will stay in the case.
Neither hood is essential for every shot, but both solve specific problems that are hard to fix in editing. The window hood in particular is a niche accessory that justifies itself only if you actually photograph through windows.
Mirage Mirror: The Creative Extra
The Mirage Mirror mounts next to your phone's camera and creates a reflection effect, like a portable reflecting pool. You can add body-of-water-style reflections to landscapes or use the reflection to remove distracting elements from the scene. It comes with a protective cloth carrying case. This is the most experimental piece in the kit; it rewards play but is not a core tool for straightforward photography.
Who the Kit Fits and Who Should Skip It
The kit is a strong fit if you want one mounting system that works across multiple phones and tablets, you already own or plan to buy 55mm filters, and you shoot a mix of close-ups, reflections, and everyday scenes. It is a weaker fit if you only take casual snapshots, if you need a case that stays slim, or if you rarely photograph small objects or shoot through windows.
- Buy it if you want a universal mount: The magnetic core works with any smartphone or tablet regardless of camera position, and the included plates handle phones with less metal.
- Buy it if you already use 55mm filters: The adapter lets you use virtually any 55mm filter, so existing filters become phone filters.
- Skip it if you need a slim everyday case: The magnetic core and plates add a layer to your phone; if you prioritize a minimal case, this system works against that.
- Skip it if you only shoot distant subjects: The 20x macro lens is for extreme close-ups, and the window hood is for shooting through glass; neither helps typical landscape or portrait shots.
What the Supplied Information Does Not Cover
The supplied records do not state whether the magnetic core interferes with wireless charging, how much the core and plates weigh, or whether the adhesive plate leaves residue when removed. They also do not specify the strength of the magnets or the exact dimensions of the core. If any of those factors are critical for your phone or case, treat them as open questions rather than assuming the kit will work the way you hope.
The kit carries a limited 2-year manufacturer warranty. Beyond that, the practical answer is to test the mount with your own phone and case before relying on it for an important shoot.
