    Why is the video high quality and low quality at the same time

      Do you mean *this* video, where the lit part of his face looks sharp but the shadow side looks soft? Or do you mean the anamorphic iPhone footage where it first looks little different to normal until he processes it?

    What are your thoughts on anamorphic lenses for the iPhone 14 pro? I’ve read a lot of feedback talking about vignetting and other issues now that the iPhone sensors have increased - do you have any recommendations on which lenses don’t have these issues? I was set on the moment anamorphic until I heard all the backlash they’ve been receiving recently.

    I appreciate this video as someone who has a Fuji XT3, But also travel with a family of 5 sometimes I can't justify carrying the Fuji, 2 lenses & a Drone. I have been using anamorphic on my I phone 12 Pro max and even though as you stated sometimes you don't get that flare, I'm fine with it because for some reason I find Using Filmic Pro using the 10 Bit you get a much superior video than not...for essentially a phone in your pocket and a lens that screws on.

      I think real world use of an iPhone is a mixed bag. Sometimes it looks amazing, other times it looks like sh*t. Which is probably why just about all UA-camrs who sing the praises of the iPhone ACTUALLY shoot their videos using a DSLR or mirrorless camera. My take on it anyway. 😅

    Footage looks amazing! Just bought the same lens as well as the universal Beastgrip phone rig. My setup as follows: iPhone 12pro max, Beastgrip anamorphic lense, Beastgrip universal rig, tripod, lightning to hdmi/lightning adaptor, Rode Wireless go 2 w/lavalier mic, Feelworld fw568 field monitor.
    Hoping to get DSLR like performance without having to drop another $2k+ in camera equipment.

      @@OnlyThe1Son The anamorphic lens is good, HOWEVER if you plan on filming (UA-cam, podcasts, professional video) and having a good setup I would say just go ahead and get a DSLR mirrorless.
      WAY less hassle shooting video, transferring video files, syncing with remotes, etc.
      Its not worth the money.

      @initialfocus  2 роки тому

      oooo nice! I bet that would be fine. The issue with IBIS is the phones sensor and lens is moving not in unison with the exterior lens plus since its squeezed it all just creates a mess. but any time ive taken anamorphic mobile footage and stabilized in a post production software its acted like any other footage. no insane wiggle issues.

    chanced upon a video shot by someone on youtube, without any lenses and still be able to get the cinematic look,. so why use anamorphic lens or buy such a case/rig spending 100's of $$ when you are able to do it without all this..

    • @umbertoaguiar
      @umbertoaguiar Рік тому +1

      No, you are not able "to do it without all this." Unless you are doing a silent movie and manage by magic to set a proper ISO and shutter to create a cinematic look without the use of a ND filter. Otherwise you do need a cage where you can attach a ND filter and an external microphone. You will also need a light on the top of a cage if you are shooting indoors. Even if you use Freewell's case and filter you will still need a cage or at least a handle attached to an iPhone holder where you can attach a mic on the top.
      I am sure everybody who read your comment will be curious about the video you mentioned. Could you please put the link in a reply?
