Yo, yo, yo, it's Joe from Photos with Phones. Today we're going to do a Moment anamorphic lens
0:08
review and unboxing. We'll give you a little test footage so that you can see if you need to add a
0:15
Moment anamorphic lens to your arsenal. Let's get to it. Alrighty, so that 1.33 means that your
0:24
footage is going to be 33% wider than standard. Why don't you go ahead and take this time just
0:29
subscribe to Photos with Fence's channel as well. Alrighty, back to moments, anamorphic lens
0:37
Check out that lens cap. It's square instead of circle. It fits nicely and snugly on your lens
0:42
providing nice protection. Please ignore my thumbprint on the middle of the lens here
0:49
and do note that this next section of b-roll is not going to be shot with the anamorphic lens
0:55
just so you have a little something to compare it to. Let's get to it
1:25
So, at this point you may be saying, hey Joe, you didn't really unbox the Moment Anamorphic
1:33
Lens. Well, that's because I did it two days ago, there were some technical difficulties
1:38
but now we'll roll the footage. Alrighty, so the co-owner of Photos with Phones, Patrick
1:46
has procured the Moment Anamorphic Lens for you I kept it in the original packaging and everything just so this can be as authentic an unboxing video as we can possibly do Alrighty
2:04
We've even got the packaging slip is in here guys. Alrighty. Here we go. And let the subsequent unboxing of the unboxing begin
2:28
Maybe I shouldn't have done that on YouTube, but here we are. Alrighty. Moment anamorphic lens
2:40
Another thing worth mentioning when unboxing the Moment Anamorphic lens is that it comes with a nifty little alignment tool
2:50
It really just depends on which generation of iPhone you have or if you're shooting on an Android device, whether or not you're going to need to make that turn
2:59
But when I did the initial unboxing, I captured all the content on my Pixel 3 and we attached
3:08
the Moment Anamorphic lens to Catherine's iPhone XR and this is what it looked like
3:13
So you're definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely going to need to use that alignment tool
3:20
Thankfully, it comes attached to the little microfiber case. So it's really easy
3:29
do So why should you care about the Moment Anamorphic lens What is an anamorphic lens
4:01
These are all reasonable questions to have at this point. We will start with why you should
4:06
care about the Moment Anamorphic lens. Moment lenses are known as the pinnacle of mobile
4:12
photography gear and their anamorphic lens is no different. It's going to give you that 2.40
4:19
to 1 cinemascope aspect ratio which is the Hollywood style widescreen with the two black bars
4:27
that you most certainly know. The anamorphic lens for a moment is also going to give you those
4:33
cinematic Michael Bay style lens flares. It's just an interesting look to have. A lot of people on
4:40
YouTube are creating the look in post-production by slapping those black bars in but that doesn't really give you that 2.4 zero to one aspect ratio so
4:53
that's why you need an anamorphic lens So you've got that anamorphic footage and now you're like, it looks weird
5:22
Well, that's because it needs to be de-squeezed. You can de-squeeze it using the Moment Pro camera app, something like Filmic Pro or Beast Cam, which is what I'm currently using
5:33
We will be coming out with a review of the Beast Cam app from Beast Group So let us know what you think about it in the comments
6:08
So, what's the consensus on the Moment Anamorphic Lens? Well, we have to say that it's a winner
6:19
If you're looking to get that cinematic look in your phone videos and even photos, to be honest with you
6:27
the Moment Anamorphic Lens is a great option to go with. While you will have to have a third-party camera app to be able to de-squeeze the footage
6:38
Hint we recommend the Moment Pro camera app, Beast Cam, or Filmic Pro
6:44
The possibilities with the Moment anamorphic lens are endless. So go ahead and grab one. Link in the bio
