This SmallRig All-in-One Video Kit Basic with 1.55x Anamorphic Lens Kit from B&H adds a dynamic 1.55x anamorphic lens to the Universal Phone Cage set to deliver a cinema-like visual experience with a dreamy anamorphic blue lens flare effect, using virtually any smartphone.
Built to fit most smartphones 2.2 to 3.5" wide, with or without an outer case, the Universal Mobile Phone Cage from SmallRig is designed for vlogging, livestreaming, mobile filmmaking, and more. It secures your phone using a screw that tightens, which provides more stability than a spring-loaded clamp. Also featured are four cold shoe mounts, plus multiple 1/4"-20 threaded holes that can be used to attach a tripod, top handle, and side handgrip. The 1/4"-20 threaded holes in front can be used to attach a power bank holder, which lets you clamp a power bank to the rig when a sustainable charging solution is required. This cage may be used for both horizontal and vertical shooting, while integrated rubber pads help absorb shocks and prevent your phone from scratching. Thanks to two attached cable ties, you'll be able to organize cords and cables while shooting.
Designed to fit their phones cages, the Lightweight Side Handle for Smartphone Cage from SmallRig features a built-in wrench to adjust the height of the handle and tighten the locking screw, three 1/4"-20 threaded holes on top for mounting accessories, and anti-slip rubber surface pads that help ensure a more comfortable grip. Should you wish to bring even greater security and stability to your handheld mobile shooting, this handle is also compatible with SmallRig's Hand Strap PAC2456.
The 1.55x Anamorphic Lens from SmallRig captures a widescreen aspect ratio, delivering a cinema-like visual experience with a dreamy anamorphic blue lens flare effect. This lens features a standard T-mount interface that works with T-mount cages, phone cases, and lens clips.
Anamorphic lenses bring video to life in a way that spherical (non-anamorphic) lenses cannot. It works by squeezing the image horizontally at a factor of 1.55x to record a higher resolution onto the sensor. The image is then de-squeezed in real time using an app, such as Blackmagic Cam (free), Fotorgear (free), or FilMic Pro (paid), or during post-production. The result is a 2.76:1 aspect ratio for videos.
Built using aluminum alloy, glass, and silicone, this lens also features a 130° diagonal angle of view, -83° of distortion, a minimum focusing distance of 2.7 to 3.5", and three HD optical glass elements with a multi-layered, anti-reflective coating. Thanks to a 67mm filter thread, users will be able to use 67mm filters and adapters with this lens. Included is lens clip, a lens cover, and a cleaning cloth.
