Since everyone has a smartphone, and the smartphone is not limited to just a phone, actually it gives revolution to a lot of industries, including the camera industry, the best camera is the one with you every day.

How did you decide to establish Ztylus Innovation?

When I started the company, I actually want to build a unique Stylus Pen for the iOS system, that is why we named our company Ztylus, since I believe based on different user experiences, people may need a stylus for better performance than using their fingers on the touchscreen. Of course, as you can tell, we are no more limit ourselves on stylus pen products and now we expanded to many other industries.

What inspired you to design Revolver Lens? What are the features of Revolve Lenses?

Since I use some other existing smartphone lens system, and I hate the lens caps, since it is complicated to put it on and take it off, and they are so easy to get lost, that's why I want to design a uniques system, which doesn't require any lens cap, and quick to install and use. As you can tell, the revolver lens actually combines several different lenses into one rotatable unit, and you no more need any lens cap.
