NEW: Moment Gold Flare Anamorphic Review & Tips: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nVLO7W1PtI4.html

@SmartphoneFilmmaker 4 года назад

Super happy to have the Moondog Labs lens. Don't forget people that these lenses can sometimes be picked up 2nd hand for a cheaper price!

@namucase93 4 года назад

Been waiting for this subject for a while now! And with the weekend starting I can watch this vid 3-4 times to completely absorb it.

@eddieharcourt6049 3 года назад

@daemonjofficial 3 года назад

This has probably been already stated; I noticed that the Ulanzi Pro G3 isn’t a true 1.33x lens. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. But when I go into the “Clip Attributes” in Resolve, switch to 1.33, the image looks incorrect. When I choose the 1.25 option, everything looks right. The blur on the sides is what’s making me get rid of the lens. I’m switching to the Moment Anamorphic lens instead. The fact that you have to scale up the image to hide it is annoying. Nice video by the way. I love your channel!

@MrYankosG 3 года назад

This may be a silly question but I’m going to ask it just the same. I’m using FiLMiC Pro which lets you select an aspect ratio of 2.39:1. If I shoot in this mode, do I get the same results as if shooting with an Anamorphic lens which gives 2.40:1 (other than not being able to use filters)? What am I missing here? Ulanzi 1.33 G3 anamorphic lens seems to be discontinued. Official site only lists 1.55 XT. Is there any information of a coming update?

@dethonez 3 года назад

i don't have too much blurring on the side with ulanzi pro mounted on iphone 6s and this 3rd generation nailed it when it comes to distortion

@doupe9768 2 года назад

@luisbaez4312 3 года назад

@Mobile Motion Are there additional apps needed to “de squeeze” or decompress the footage? I know moment has their dedicated app. However what software can be used to decompress the footage using the Ulanzi lens?

@micster87 3 года назад

When you get time I’m particularly interested in ShiftCam aspherical pro lens. Thanks

@skullier13 3 года назад

I like the 3rd gen ulanzi look... It's the most cinematic out of the bunch being out of focus and warmer tones without doing anything... Plus it's from a phone... If you're worried that you have to manipulate the footage in post... You're missing the point of these fake anamorphic look... IMO the goal of these filter is to get the anamorphic looking shot at the cheapest price... Nobody gonna use it for professional use anyways... They just wanna get cool shot

@troglodidio 3 года назад

Cool shots can be used to professional work... like mobile marketing, media that will be visualized from smartphones... indeed many clients ask for this type of product

“We popped up to the mountains here in Switzerland” That’s not something most people can say every day ha ha. I love these videos I have saved so much money through your reviews because I have not needed to learn by mistakes i.e. purchasing in appropriate gear. I am using an iPhone 11 pro Max and a ulanzi lens and I do not get as much lens flare as your Samsung is producing I do not know why that is but I suppose it’s a good thing.

@SiHorrocks 4 года назад

yes we're lucky :) yeah I think it depends on the light as well

Why would having a blue coating on a lens yield a warmer image? Wouldn't it be like shooting through a blue filter?

@andreiter 2 года назад

I guess, I'm more concerned as to which company makes the sharpest lens, especially on the sides. They all seem to produce the same quality image. I was thinking of getting the Ulanzi 1.55. If we shoot alot in a faster aperature, the background would be blurred anyway, so the sides and edges wouldn't be as much an issue. The video shot here seemed like it was a higher aperature, where most of of everything is in focus, which you would want anyways when shooting landscape.

@Randuski Год назад

Moondog is quite a bit sharper especially in the corners. I've seen some comparisons and its objectively the best lens. Less distortion, sharper across the board, and least distortion. They even make one now that has a bayonette thread for moment cases. It's kinda game over now haha

@fxbrian9223 2 года назад

do you try to remove the green dot lens flare in post production? or is it ok to leave them in?

@johnplacencia 4 года назад

Is it possible to use the Moonlabs Anamorphic lens on an iPhone without a case? I use my iphone without the case on my gimble because it doesn’t fit with the case on and because of the weight as well.

@SiHorrocks 4 года назад

for the older iPhones they can clip directly onto the phone (up to iPhone 8+). Otherwise you can use a 37mm clip or 17mm clip. In the video I use a 37mm clip with the Moondog Labs

@johnplacencia 4 года назад

Mobile Motion great hearing from you. Thank you for the info. I’m thinking I can use the Neewer 37mm clip (it came with a kit to mount various filters) to mount the Moondog Labs lens to the iPhone 11 Pro I’m thinking of purchasing. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it. Have a blessed day. Cheers!

@Canbechangedtwiceevery14days 2 года назад

For the sake of consistency, do it all throughout. Stabilisers help a lot as any flare on the foreground can be quite distracting. Unless you are doing something like a NOLANesque anamorphic-imax shift. That'd be fun to watch if you can pull it off.

@micster87 3 года назад

No, I’m waiting for your review first!

@stuckonurbanstudio Год назад

Anyone using pixel 7 or 7 pro using any of these? Have been searching answers without success. I asked that because I got a sirui previously which I had to return it due to "double" image it produces. The salesman at the camera shop told me a couple of pixel 7 users had previously returned it too and he said it's due to pixel handling of their OIS which causes the double image. I wasn't convinced. I felt it was the faulty lens. I prefer to get an answer from an actual user. If anyone can provide some assistance, it would be great.
