Watch BEFORE Buying A Smartphone Camera Lense | Buyers Guide 

With the 3 lenses on the iPhone I've moved on from using external lenses specifically for the reasons you've mentioned like one more thing to carry. The anamorphic content does look amazing, although I'm not a filmmaker. I'd probably use that lens as much as I use my action cam which is very very little.

Awesome!

Glad it was helpful!

sounds like you may have a defective camera module

What lens would be better for 13??

@@markomclane475 that's an ai issue, not a camera issue. Because most telephoto sensors are so small, phone AI will automatically switch to the main sensor in dark conditions even when zoomed in past the point where it produces usable video. This isn't just limited to Apple. The only solution is a third party app that gives you more lens control. Or buy a phone with a bigger tele sensor.

Sounds like a paid sponsor

Should've bought a samsung

Great comment , so true.

I’m curious as to how you are achieving small apertures on fixed aperture phone camera lenses. Software (i.e., camera apps) are only simulating the optical results of a stopped down lens, no? Am I missing something here about the design and construction of the lens or lenses built into our phones (or these accessory lenses)? As I’m sure you are aware, there needs to be a mechanical means of making the hole smaller (the Iris). This is what gives us deeper depth of field. It’s physics (specifically optics). I’m really not ridiculing you, but I don’t think you’ve thought this through. Or it could be that I’m ignorant and you can set me straight.

Hey, where did you buy telephoto lens for smartphone? I need one for my A52s, is it available on aliexpress?

@@username3727 Since I bought in on an online shop (specifically, Tokopedia) I'm certain you can find one there. Just search for "smartphone telephoto lens", the lens adaptor that comes with it support large number of smartphone.

Thanks!

The moment gold flair lens is excellent

Glad you liked it

Glad to help!

Do you use the latest version of their anamorphic 1.33 or the previous one?

@@oleksii.lopasov Previous version. Don’t know how different the new version is but it’s probably minimal

@@legniak1 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3kZGddummNo.html This is the new one

Hey so would you say beastcage is definitely better then the moment anamorphic lens?

@@Penguin_ooo as far as build quality I’m definitely taking beastgrip. Image quality is very close. Every single beastgrip item I’ve ever used has been excellent

Love how you speak about using the aperture and adding lens to you phone, I thought it was interesting. Understanding the Aperture, IOS and Shutter Speed can be crazy by itself but nevertheless you explanation makes it easier to understand. Thanks!

Hahaha thank you Kenneth, love to hear you're progressing fast!

You're going to love the Samsung S22 Ultra. I hope you upgraded from an iPhone.

One question I’ve been dying to know is, Can u take it off and reattach it?

@@Crawf08 The answer is yes. For refrence you can see a lens being twisted onto the the phone case mount from 9:41 - 9:44. That's real time. It might take a little time to adjust the lens to your phone in the case of the anamorphic lens. The other thing to account for with the anamorphic is the software to shoot with and process the video.

@@tommanseau6277 appreciate the info🙏🏽

@@Crawf08 Happy to help😁

Nope it wont fit, Iphone 12Pro and 13 Pro have different camera dimensions. I had great interest buying a shiftcam incase camera protector like you and wrote the support of shiftcam. They said that there were many negative Revisions of the Phone getting to bulky with the incase product applied. So you will definitely have to buy the whole set: Case+Mount

Love to hear that!

The digital lens flares are not really cinematic. We’re fooling ourselves and/or buying into marketing hype if we think so. Here’s the thing: 1) Lens flare in general is not desirable and professionals go to great lengths to avoid it. 2) When it is unavoidable, it looks very different than the digital look of horizontal lens flare bars. 3) That said, lens flare might on rare occasion be an aesthetic choice. Which brings me to the abomination that is JJ Abrams. I don’t know if he is the original abuser of post production lens flares, but he’s certainly a major abuser/over user of lens flare created in post. Maybe some believe that he expanded film vocabulary, but I think he created a rather stupid cliche. Still, it was an artistic choice, even if I personally think it was a bad one in most cases. My issue with anamorphic lens flare today is we’ve somehow learned not only to accept it, but to desire it. It’s like we’ve cultivated a taste for shit sandwiches to compensate for the fact that we have to occasionally eat a shit sandwich. We should avoid eating shit sandwiches when possible and not intentionally make them a regular part of our cinema creation diet. I own a moment anamorphic lens. In addition to the flare issue, it suffers from distortion and softness in the corners. Sadly, every other anamorphic lens for phone cameras I’ve seen is even worse. I was hoping the Smallrig lens would offer an improvement, but it doesn’t. I am all in favor of working with the equipment that I have, mastering it so I can minimize its deficiencies, and learning techniques to overcome these deficiencies or to meet new challenges. I’m considering fabricating or purchasing a French flag to help kill lens flare, and/or acquiring a matte box with hard mattes. To be honest, I’m fighting a sense that I would be defeating the primary purposes of using a phone camera, which are ease of use/availability and lower cost (using something I already own rather than having to acquire or rent an expensive camera system and all the lenses and accessories).

Glad you think so!

You're welcome!

Love to hear that!

Thanks!

Love it! The portability is my favorite aspect.

Thanks for watching!

I've never used it so I can't speak from experience, but my gut tells me trying to film THAT long of a focal length with an iPhone would be hard. With how small and light the phones are they're super susceptible to micro shakes which only get exaggerated at longer focal lengths.

Glad you think so!

Thank you, Luana! Appreciate the feedback 🔥

​@@MrPaulXavier Of course! Love the content, I got the course btw. ❤❤❤ I am in need of a 58mm and macro lens for my samsung note, any recommendations?

What’s the channel name ?

Light is everything

You’re almost always better off building your lighting and grip package than “investing” in most phone camera accessories. Your lights are device and system independent, compatible with everything.

Glad it was helpful!

The aperture doesn't change when using lens adapters (what these smartphone lenses are) since the iPhone 14 pro has an effective aperture of f6.3 you essentially take 24mm f6 3 camera into a 58mm f6.3 resulting in much better DoF

Do u see any benefit of adding the 3 lense to ur iphone 13 pro as against native lenses? I am considering buying these lenses for my iphone 13 pro so seeking ur opinion?

do the lenses work flawlessly on the 13 pro? I would like to buy the anamorphic and the tele and I was wondering if there’s some vignetting or some problems with them

Our pleasure!

@@MrPaulXavier Is there one you recommend for the Samsung note 10+?

You bet!

Thank you sir!

What’s ibs?

@@eden20111 Sorry IS(Image Stabilization)

Awesome! Glad to help!

Welcome aboard!

any update?

Thank you!

For sure!

I would recommend the same exact accessories I talked about in this video, the moment lenses are all compatible with all versions of iphones. I do not upload to a cloud, I use external hard drives

Cool, thanks!

I would recommend avoiding the front camera all together!

Thanks for the tips!

I prefer the beastcam app

Thanks for the feedback!

That's great 👍
