An era where you can take beautiful pictures with your smartphone.
I want to take more beautiful and more special photos! I often think.
Whether it's a casual everyday photo, a selfie, or a commemorative photo at a travel destination...
Of course, using a camera app or photo editing app to create a special feeling is not an option, but now there are many goods that can take even more special photos!

① Evolutionary selfie stick
View this post on Instagram
Until now, many people have used selfie sticks (selfie sticks) for selfies and for taking pictures with a large number of people.
However, recently, there are many facilities and spots that call for good manners regarding the use of selfie sticks, and the use of selfie sticks is prohibited on station platforms and other places due to safety concerns.
Extending the selfie stick takes up a lot of space, and the advantage of being able to shoot anywhere is a hindrance for many groups.
If you are so absorbed in taking selfies that you bump into people, or if your attention is distracted, you may end up in an accident...
In the first place, the selfie stick is convenient, but it can also be a luggage.
When traveling where you want to keep your luggage as small as possible, you end up not carrying it around because it's too annoying, or you don't use it because it's troublesome to take it out of your bag and set your smartphone.
So recently, such an evolved selfie stick (?) Has appeared!
[Smartphone case that sticks to the wall "WAYLLY"]
Exhibition: WAYLLY ONLINE SHOP
This smartphone case sticks to the wall if it has a smooth surface.
Once attached, both hands are free, so you don't need a selfie stick or tripod when shooting with a large group, and you can take selfies at home in a variety of situations.

The secret to sticking to the wall is the new material "Nano Suction" used in the case.
Nano Suction is not a magnet, an adhesive sheet, or a gel, but rather a micro-suction cup that creates a vacuum when pressed against a wall, creating a strong bond.
The most sticky materials are glass and mirrors, but basically it seems to be good at smooth walls with no unevenness on the surface.
It can also be attached to tiles, stainless steel, and whiteboards.

Of course, it is recommended for taking selfies with a large number of people, but the innovative thing is video shooting.
Camera shake occurs when using a selfie stick, and it is difficult to adjust the place and height of a tripod in the first place, so you end up shooting videos at an angle all the time (laughs).
WAYLLY can be fixed to the wall, so the height is flexible and there is no camera shake.
You can easily shoot a makeup video while sticking it on a mirror and applying makeup as usual.

However, if you use it outside, or if you use the walls or windows of the store, get permission and be careful not to disturb the people around you or the store.

Nowadays, cercalite is a natural presence for young women.
It is an item that can be taken brightly by shining light directly on the subject.
Not only does it make your skin look beautiful, but it also gives your eyes a bright and sparkling impression.
It is also ideal for portrait photography when the background is bright, such as illumination, and will be useful in the coming season.

A clip type that can be attached directly to a smartphone.
The LED lights arranged in a ring shape illuminate the subject evenly and brightly.

The difference from conventional cercalite is that the color temperature can be adjusted.
You can adjust the brightness in 3 steps, from white light like sunlight to warm orange, so you can shoot according to the atmosphere and brightness of the surroundings.
The appearance of photos changes greatly between indoors and outdoors, so it's nice to be able to adjust the colors without having to process them later with an app.
③Wide-angle lens for more professional photos

Recently, I was interested in wide-angle lenses for smartphones.
Just by clipping it, your smartphone camera can be transformed into a wide-angle lens, allowing you to capture a wide range of shots.
You can also aim for a selfie with a large number of people or to make your legs look longer in coordinated photos.

It is a wide-angle lens that can be attached with a clip, but it comes with a nice LED light.
It's great for selfies, and it uses a special technique that eliminates the corner distortion that's common with wide-angle lenses.

It can also be used as a macro lens, so it seems that the range of shooting can be expanded considerably with such a small lens.
④Tripod for smartphone that you want to take with you when traveling
Although it is now a common sense tripod for smartphones, it is evolving day by day so that it can be used in a variety of situations.
It's also great for traveling, so be sure to check it out before you go out.

In addition, this magnetic is equipped with a powerful magnet at the tip of the leg.
It can be attached to a pole that cannot be wrapped around or to a metal wall surface.
