Except for the lensflares it seems pretty useless. It does not give wider image than the wide-angle lens, you just loose vertical field of view. You can crop the wide angle and have better image. The review was very precise on this, thanks!
Ive been using both those lens for while and have been relatively happy with them. There are some quirks, as you mentioned. Very good for the price, though.
you are mistaking blurry corner ( not sharp) with shallow DOF background it looks like the anamorphic lens has a very soft corners !! and soft looking in all
It does have soft corners and a softer image, as mentioned in the video. But it was not a mistake to label that corner pool shot shallow DOF because that’s what it was. The pool float was in focus and the background was out.
@@iphoneographers check the fence right behind the pool float , it's sharp !! we have a soft focus plus a very soft corners , the result of that make us assume there is a shallow DOF!
@@iphoneographers how come you don't see this obvious picture where this so called anamorphic lens ruins the quality to the bottom of cheap 100 dollar smartphones? By the way what you say "warmes the picture" it's also not true. These cheap glasses ruins the overall contrast due to these white edges of the glass itself and colors the picture with the dominant color which you frame to. Point it to any cold colored subject and you will see the result.
Yes indeed. It’s a very unique tool and with all the accessories you can really make it shine. For example, you can add a mic input to connect a quality microphone. It has very good tracking so you can put it on a desk and then have it track as you move around on camera. The only thing that might make you pause is DJI will probably release a new model sometime, but haven’t heard anything about one and typically when that happens they’ll reduce the price of the current one. And regardless the current Osmo has excellent specs and shoots great looking video.
Yep. Same here! But every time I use it I am reminded how good it can be. The latest firmware really helps the auto focus too. It’s very accurate now. And then the accessories make this really good for a lot of stuff.
Make sure you’re running the latest firmware as the later firmware has improved the auto focus. Also confirm your lenses are clean (the smallest smudge can really affect them). If that doesn’t fix the issue you might have a defective one because you should be able to get focus, sometimes the edges are soft but the main image should look good. Hope you get it figured out!
the main and critical problem is that you cannot attach ND filters in this anamorphic adapter. This is a huge mistake by ULANZI not to make a magnetic front side. This issue make this anamorphic adapter complete useless for video shooting at daylight... it is only for night and low light shots.
@@iphoneographers yeah ! but freewell anamorphic has this strange 1.15x squeeze and not the more standard 1.33x .. But in general it is a better choice since you can apply ND filters.
Yeah it’s availability is hit or miss we’ve discovered. But we also saw it one day and ordered off Amazon and got it quickly. Hopefully it’s back in stock soon!
I found in LumaFusion setting the y scale to .83-.85 gives you the squeeze you need. Love this lens.
Good deal! Haven’t used it in LumaFusion yet.
Definitely
Your product reviews are awesome. Factual, informative, and no marketing! Love them.
Thanks!

Interesting accessory! Now I just need the osmo pocket to go with it. 😂
Have a great day and be safe out there!
No, it's a crap toy
That's awesome bro! How do skin tones look on the anamorphic?
Do you have to desqueeze?
What’s the shutter speed when having this on, auto? Thanks
Depends on the light. It can vary wildly but outside in bright light it’s very fast.
Had no idea this even existed. Nice find!

What apps are there to de-squeeze the ANAMORPHIC footage ?
You can do that in pretty much any editing app like FCPX or LumaFusion. There is also an app called Desqueeze that can do it as a standalone.
What do u recommend lens works well with iphone 11 pro and dji osmo mobile 3
Moondoglabs is better quality
Great options in deed! Thank you!.
What is the differents between ULANZI OSMO POCKET 1.15X Anamorphic Lens and 1.33X Anamorphic lens?.
The squeeze factor is less on the 1.15x, so it’s a slightly different aspect ratio.
I’m using lumafusion to edit my videos... Any advice on how much % I need to adjust the Size Y? Thanks in advance!!
Haven’t tried it in LumaFusion yet, but heard from other comment to set Y at .85. Give that a try and see how it looks.
iPhoneographers got it... I'll try this on my next video... thanks!
Do you recommend DJI Osmo Pocket to buy now in 2020?
I want to start filming my blog.

Thank You for review. To days ago bought this set (anamorphic + wide angel) on aliexpress direct from Ulanzi store. Waiting mode ON :)
On the lens in your video it's written 1.33 why do say it's a 1.15 anamorphic ?
Because it’s actually 1.15x
Funny: I used my OSMO pocket a bunch when I first got it but haven't used it in months! Glad to hear I am not alone in that! :0)
Yep. Same here! But every time I use it I am reminded how good it can be. The latest firmware really helps the auto focus too. It’s very accurate now. And then the accessories make this really good for a lot of stuff.
thank you for revealing the real spec
I have considered buying an Osmo Pocket, but I thought they might be close to a refresh so I have held off.
Yes agreed would think an update is coming, but have heard nothing about one yet.
Отлично! Спасибо!
Product give-a-way to your #1 fan? 👍😎⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I bought the lens and have not been able to nail the focus on any shot. Love the factor tho.
Make sure you’re running the latest firmware as the later firmware has improved the auto focus. Also confirm your lenses are clean (the smallest smudge can really affect them).

@@iphoneographers thank you! I may have a defective lens. I tried with afs and afc with no success. Cheers!

Yeah that’s pretty much true. Freewell added them to this though… ua-cam.com/video/qZFQNh6B6b8/v-deo.html
@@iphoneographers yeah ! but freewell anamorphic has this strange 1.15x squeeze and not the more standard 1.33x .. But in general it is a better choice since you can apply ND filters.
The Ulanzi has the same 1.15x. Believe it’s due to the size of the optics.
@@iphoneographers only the first version of Ulanzi.. The 2nd one (newer) it has 1.33x .. At least this is what I have read.
Ah okay, haven’t seen that yet.
This is never in stock. The moment it gets in stock you have to but it. But yea you are the third person to review that lens.
I ordered on off of amazon and got it in 2 days
Yeah it’s availability is hit or miss we’ve discovered. But we also saw it one day and ordered off Amazon and got it quickly. Hopefully it’s back in stock soon!
Why don't they just make the camera head Anamorphic just like most GoPro camera, so people don't have to buy add ons for it.
Useless lens
