Abstract:
An auxiliary lens assembly for releasably connecting one or more auxiliary lenses to an electronic device with an on-board camera, such as a mobile smartphone or a tablet computer. The lens assembly includes a first bracket, a second bracket movable coupled to the first bracket, and a release assembly coupled to the first and second brackets. When actuated by a user force, the release assembly moves the second bracket in a first direction away from the first bracket to increase a separation gap between the two brackets from an initial to an expanded position and when the user force is removed, the release assembly moves the second bracket in a second direction towards the first bracket to decrease the separation gap back to the initial position.
