Hope you enjoyed this one! I’m also making a video on using ND filters when shooting on your phone, and when using lens like the anamorphic. Hit subscribe & the bell if you’d like to be notified when it’s posted! 🔔 ✌🏻
the one i should have bought but they don't seem to have it for the iphone 12 and if they do its like a picture that just can't be used for the adaptor the website needs to be updated or something.
Please advise a lens for iPhone 13 pro for shooting cooking and cooking? Or do you think it's better to make videos and edit videos in an editor without a lens?
Not that I know of, sorry! The distortion in the edges is part of the anamorphic aesthetic, personally I really like the look but I know some would prefer a cleaner look across the image ✌🏻
Great comparison video with valid opinions. Thanks to you, after watching this video, i bought myself a Gold Flare Anamorphic Lens with a new phone case on Moment Official Website. Can't wait to shoot some videos!
Thank you! No slow motion here! :) To get smoother footage when shooting video, you want to follow something called the 180º Shutter Rule - which means setting your Shutter Speed to double your Frame Rate. I've made a video all about this (+ why ND Filters are useful) if you'd like to learn more! ✌🏻 See it here: ua-cam.com/video/ZGr44pDgWuc/v-deo.html (Just to add, in this Anamorphic video I didn't use any ND Filters over the Lens. Which is why some of the daylight shots may look a bit more choppy. In lower light, you can follow the 180º Shutter Rule without needing an ND. But in normal daylight conditions, it's difficult to do without over exposing your footage, hence why using an ND helps!)
@@JCKRGB thank you so much! Much helpful information, yes yeah I noticed bit choppiness in the daylight footage. I just got a moment anamorphic lens last week :)
great video! I already have filmic pro which I use with my iPhone 13 pro max. it has the option of shooting in 2:39:1 with the ultrawide lens... other than missing out on the gold lens flares, can you see any downside to using that instead of this?
With an Anamorphic Lens you can get some really cool looking (I think 😄) barrel distortion when looking at straight lines (see 5:16) which is very unique to those lenses and looks different to the distortion you might get with an ultra wide. You also get a squashed look to the bokeh background blur (you can see it a little at 5:26 and 6:33 - it’s more visible if there’s lots of out-of-focus lights in the background) Using the Ultra Wide (and cropping to 2.39:1) can sometimes distort things like faces when getting close as that camera has a very wide field of view anyway. Plus you get the light flares with an anamorphic as you mention! There’s no right or wrong of course, shoot however you want to! It’s all personal preference. I prefer the look of the Anamorphic Lens over using the Ultra Wide and cropping down. I just think it looks more cinematic. But for some, they might find it too much with all the flares and everything. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching! :) ✌🏻
@@JCKRGB I finally got the lens and it’s awesome! Also looking at getting the Cinebloom nd filter based off another vid of yours. Thanks for all the great info you’re sharing!
Hi! I believe there are some very recent samsung smart phones which simulate or are equipped with an effect similar to an anamorphic lens. In other words they possess a feature which simulate a wide angle. If that`s the case why bother to buy anamorphic lens? Also, everybody seem to prefer using iphones to smart phones for filming. Is there a reason for this choice? Thanks.
Hey Fabio. I’ve not seen any Samsung phones with built-in anamorphics. Some phones let you shoot in different aspect ratios which result in the black borders top and bottom, but anamorphic lenses do more. The stretched image gives a different look to the bokeh, straight lines are given some distortion and you get the lens flares which look pretty cool! Which you don’t get from just a wide angle camera + a cropped aspect ratio. iPhones have a really good rep when it comes to video. The picture quality is great compared to much of the competition, and they can shoot in Dolby Vision HDR which as far as I’m aware is still unique to iPhones at the moment. Plus they have great third party camera app support! Thanks for commenting and watching! ✌🏻
I have just learned that iphones are only compatible with Apple mac when it comes to do the editing on computer. This implies an extra cost. If that`s the case filming with an Iphone becomes as expensive as buying a camcorder. What advantages there are filming with an iphone then? Thanking you in advance.
You don’t need a Mac to edit video shot on an iPhone, you can use a PC. If you’re shooting in Dolby Vision on iPhone, you’ll need a HDR compatible display to accurately see the footage. But you can edit it on Final Cut on Mac or Premiere on PC for example ✌🏻
I guess it depends on the style of the Vlog! The Wide lens can be really useful for capturing wider shots and showing more the the screens. With the Tele you can get closer to the subject from afar. Or, if you want a more stylised and unique look, you can go with one of the Anamorphics! ✌🏻
I have noticed that the iphone 13 has a good stabilizer and was wandering whether it is still worth to buy a gimbal. Question 2: I would like to connect a monitor to the iphone so that I can follow what the cameraman does. Should not be difficult I imagine...? Question 3: I was thinking to connect my Sennheiser microphone to the Iphone by using a bluetooth + transmitter wireless connection. Is that correct? Many thanks
With an anamorphic you need the sensor to be static. iPhone 13 sensor shift optical image stabilization, if you don't turn it off in Filmic Pro, might result in weird, wobbly footage with an anamorphic lens attached. That's where gimbal is key.
Yeah it does! Just the nature of Anamorphic’s because of the cylindrical glass. Personally I like the distortion and edge blurring but I know it’s not to everyone’s taste. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
Hey David, thank you! I started out with the Blue Flare too. Then picked up the Gold a while later and love it! The Gold flares look a lot more neutral and less ‘sci-fi’ vs the blue. I really like both but personally have a slight preference for the gold ✌🏻
Great video! Are you disabling image stabilization in Filmic while using the lens and a gimbal? Some people reported a wobble effect with stabilization enabled on a gimbal.
Thanks for watching! I’ve also noticed the wobble effect when stabilisation is enabled, so I’d recommend turning it off in apps like Filmic Pro and the Moment App ✌🏻
I’ve never bothered buying the rear covers and not had any issues. But you’re right, it would be better if it was included! (I misread this yesterday as the front lens cap, my bad!) ✌🏻

can you tell me what frame rate you used shooting on the gold anamorphic scenes
Your production quality is top tier, this is a criminally underrated channel!
Thank you! Always try to put out top quality videos! ✌🏻
Great video. Really well explained. Thanks!
Thank you Holly! ✌🏻
I’m really digging the gold flare look
Same, I love the look! ✌🏻
I love the vibes in your videos, found a gem here. Keep the videos coming 👌🏽
Cheers! Thanks for watching :) ✌🏻
I hope you upload more videos man, love your videos
Thanks so much! ✌🏻Hoping I can get uploading more frequently too!
Yes very pleasant to watch
Great review! Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
Thanks so much for this video. Excellent content.
Thanks so much for watching! ✌🏻
Still one of my new fav channel

First time bumping here. My first thought? Killer voice, you should do a podcast.
Haha thank you! ✌🏻
@@JCKRGB I’m not kidding, you really should
Excellent review
Thanks Don! ✌🏻
This was super helpful! Thank you!
I’m glad this helped you, thanks for watching! ✌🏻
Thanks, you explained Moment anamorphic very well even for the biginners like me.
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
Great educational tutorial.
Thanks Elliot! ✌🏻
Please advise a lens for iPhone 13 pro for shooting cooking and cooking? Or do you think it's better to make videos and edit videos in an editor without a lens?
Any idea on how to fix the distortion on the corners?
Not that I know of, sorry! The distortion in the edges is part of the anamorphic aesthetic, personally I really like the look but I know some would prefer a cleaner look across the image ✌🏻
I got this lens as a second hand and it wasnt aligned for iphone 14, so I was bit worried until i found this video. Thanks a lot for this video.
Can you shoot anamorphic vertically on the iPhone vs horizontal?
Absolutely! Nothing stopping you getting creative and using it for vertical video too. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
Very helpful n buying lense soon.
Thanks for watching! Anamorphic is definitely one of my favourites to shoot with! ✌🏻
Great comparison video with valid opinions. Thanks to you, after watching this video, i bought myself a Gold Flare Anamorphic Lens with a new phone case on Moment Official Website. Can't wait to shoot some videos!
Amazing! Thanks for watching! Have fun shooting some cinematic footage. Let me know what you think of it! ✌🏻
Thanks for the nice review! How did you achieve slow motion at 6 -6:10 min , the cars are moving in buttery smooth motion .?

dope video bro
Thanks bro! 👊🏻
Which of those moment lenses would you recommend for travel vlogs for beginners? I don't want to buy it all
I guess it depends on the style of the Vlog! The Wide lens can be really useful for capturing wider shots and showing more the the screens. With the Tele you can get closer to the subject from afar. Or, if you want a more stylised and unique look, you can go with one of the Anamorphics! ✌🏻
Thanks for the vid. Subscribed. Does it give a wider view than the iPhone Ultra Wide lens?
5:30 remind me to Modern Warfare 2019 scene😭😭👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Noticed the anamorphic lens adds a lot of distortion into the video. I've seen the same results with others reviewing this type of lens.
Yeah it does! Just the nature of Anamorphic’s because of the cylindrical glass. Personally I like the distortion and edge blurring but I know it’s not to everyone’s taste. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
Beautiful video brother, with what program and what values did you achieve this flawless 4k render? thanks and new subscriber.
Cheers! I edit using Final Cut Pro! I’m away at the moment so I’m not sure my exact export settings. Thanks for subscribing! ✌🏻
Great video man. Love your stuff🤘🏻
I have the blue flare anamorphic- do you think it’s worth getting the gold to?
Hey David, thank you!
I started out with the Blue Flare too. Then picked up the Gold a while later and love it! The Gold flares look a lot more neutral and less ‘sci-fi’ vs the blue. I really like both but personally have a slight preference for the gold ✌🏻
@@JCKRGB thanks man!
Yeah I did remember you saying the gold is a little less sci-fi! I may have to pick up the gold! Haha

Thanks for watching! I’ve also noticed the wobble effect when stabilisation is enabled, so I’d recommend turning it off in apps like Filmic Pro and the Moment App ✌🏻
Great comparison. One question - with anamorphic lens you can’t change focus from foreground to background? Is it true? Thank you!
6:04 Picadilly is a real place ???
Yeah it is! ✌🏻
Definitely should have come with the rear lens cover too, not as a option buy
I’ve never bothered buying the rear covers and not had any issues. But you’re right, it would be better if it was included!
(I misread this yesterday as the front lens cap, my bad!) ✌🏻
👍
I miss London.
It’s a fantastic city. Lots to see and do!
I can’t wait for a company to start making real anamorphic that’s not so bending and too hash but softer looking and it fades from both edges!
wow gold flare > blue flare
Love the Gold Flare look! ✌🏻
