  • "For the unfamiliar, these bullets are extremely tiny and could easily fit inside the body of a big pen."

    And some people are crazy enough to actually try...

  • oh wow so simple dont't even have to take the phone apart :) and u can easily use a phone cover to hide the tape:) thanks this video tutorial was so easy to understand not complicated:) thanks

  • For all of the users saying "tried with CD -blank- and it did not work, don't bother trying" CD players DO NOT have the same lense as a DVD player, DVD lasers/lenses operate at a smaller wavelength and zoom in more.

    STOP TRYING WITH CD PLAYERS.

  • It does work .just have to be so close to whatever you're trying to take a photo of.

  • Tried it with the lens from an old cd rom ....don't bother.

    It doesn't work.

  • would the lens from an old ps1 work???

  • macro 3d putting these on a 3ds
