ULANZI ZV-1 Wide Angle and Macro Lens Attachment - Vlog Ready

In this review the ULANZI Creative ZV-1 2-in-1 lens attachment is judged as a focused accessory for Sony ZV-1 owners who want wider framing and close-up macro shots without changing cameras. The single biggest reason to buy is convenience: a purpose-built, screw-on macro plus wide-angle assembly that mounts via an adhesive-backed 52 mm adapter ring to retain the ZV-1's compact setup and add either a 24 mm wide-angle equivalent or a 10X HD macro view when needed.

Key Features

• Custom fit for ZV-1: The adapter and lens set are designed specifically for the Sony ZV-1 so the attachment aligns with the compact camera body for predictable framing.
• 2-in-1 lens set: Includes a macro lens that mounts first and a screw-on wide-angle that converts to an 18 mm equivalent when stacked, offering two creative viewpoints.
• 52 mm accessory compatibility: The supplied universal 52 mm ring accepts filters or other 52 mm accessories so you can add ND filters or caps without extra modification.
• Adhesive-backed ring mount: A peel-and-stick adapter ring provides a quick install method that keeps the original lens free to shrink and extend normally.
• Aluminum alloy frame: One-piece molded oxidized aluminum construction gives a seamless joint with the camera lens and a durable feel in hand.
• Simple storage: The lens kit organizes with screw caps on both ends so both macro and wide-angle elements stay protected between uses.

Who It's For

This attachment is best for vloggers and travel shooters who use the Sony ZV-1 as a single compact camera and want a fast way to switch between wider group/selfie framing and tight macro detail without carrying extra lenses. The streamlined install and 52 mm compatibility make it useful for creators who already use filters or want to expand creative options on the same camera body.

It is not for photographers with other camera models, nor for those who demand a permanent lens solution; the adhesive ring and stackable design are a convenience tradeoff versus an integrated lens. Buyers who need heavy-duty long-term mounting or who worry about adhesive residue should consider other adapter systems or replacement rings sold separately.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Delivers true macro capability with a dedicated 10X HD macro element praised for close-up detail.
• Wide-angle conversion gives a noticeably broader field when the wide element is used on top of the macro lens.
• Quick installation through the adhesive-backed 52 mm adapter and screw caps makes the kit easy to use on the go.
• Solid lens build and aluminum alloy frame feel durable and align cleanly with the ZV-1 lens.

Cons

• Adhesive strength can be inconsistent and may leave residue; some users report the ring loosening or lens falling off if not checked regularly.
• Wide-angle must be screwed on top of the macro and cannot be used by itself, adding an extra step when switching modes.

Our Verdict

For creators seeking compact versatility, this kit delivers usable results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this lens be used on other cameras?
No. The kit is customized for the Sony ZV-1 and is not compatible with other camera models.

Do I need extra parts to use filters?
No. The supplied 52 mm ring is universal for 52 mm filters so you can add ND or other filters directly.

How do you switch between macro and wide-angle?
Mount the macro lens first; to use the wide-angle effect screw the wide-angle lens onto the macro and remove it (counterclockwise) when you need pure macro.
