Lens and Tripod for the trip to Africa

Over the last couple of months, we have had a debate about whether or not to take our old DSLR camera with us on the trip to Africa. I haven't used it in years! We have a longer telephoto lens for the camera.

Instead, after some deliberation, I decided to get a telephoto lens for the iPhone. I got a Sandmarc 10x telephoto lens. It comes with an iPhone case that the lens screws into. Although there are a lot of cheaper lens on Amazon, I decided to go with something more upscale. I also got a Manfrotto Mini Tripod. In addition to acting as a tripod, when collapsed, it is a very comfortable ergonomic grip.
