Shifting back to digital video from a few days of analog lusting, I finally found time to make a test video of the Jelly Lens “Polorizer,” quotation marks because I do know how to spell polarizer.
Surprisingly, this thing does actually work. Surprising because even el cheapo screw- on polarizing filters for SLRs and DSLRs are typically pricey. This one cost me less than a small Starbucks latte. I tested the polo on two monitors and a leather handbag to see how much the filter could cut down on reflections. The monitor tests show significant effect.
I’d like to see how this filter works with blue skies and color, but I’ll save that for a future video.

i saw this and also saw the jelly lens on another blog… ordered one online–less than $2!! i got the fisheye version and for me, it’s just “okay.” still, can’t go wrong with $2 for a toy…

After 3o hours of having the jelly-lens, mine broke! the jelly part that adheres to the camera on my cell peeled off, stuck to other lint in my pocket and well, just doesn’t seem like it’s worth using anymore. there goes my two bucks! ha!

Haha! Aw too bad. well, at least it was just two bucks.
If I have the time, I’d like to rig something more semi-permanent, maybe using magnets or velcro to attach these filters.
Here in Manila heat, they only stay stuck for a minute tops, then they peel off and drop. I have to keep supporting them with my free hand when I shoot.
