A camera attachment device includes a mounting ring for attachment over a camera lens of a mobile phone. A periscope module includes a first periscope end for attachment to the mobile phone at the mounting ring. A second periscope end is for capturing images. A periscope tube is connected between the first periscope end and the second periscope end. A light collector is attached to the mounting ring. The light collector is shaped to extend over a light source from the mobile phone. The light collector is configured to receive light from the light source and direct the light through the mounting ring and into the first periscope end. The light exits the second periscope end so as to provide illumination for capturing the images.
