The SmallRig 3578B 1.55x Anamorphic Lens for Mobile Phone (T-mount) is designed to capture cinematic 2.76:1 wide aspect ratio pictures, offering 55% more horizontal frame width than standard 16:9 formats without compression or cropping so that you can experience a cinematic widescreen visual effect akin to movies. Additionally, the lens construction produces a distinctive blue anamorphic flare effect when shooting under strong light sources. Featuring a standard T-mount, this lens is compatible with various accessories like cages, phone cases, or lens clips with T-mount, ensuring versatility across most smartphones and tablets for easy installation. The lens and mount feature a modular design with a precise 4-point magnetic alignment system, allowing convenient adjustments every 90° step for horizontal and vertical alignment. Quickly and accurately adjust the lens orientation based on the T-mount's direction and the orientation of the lens clip. With a fresh industrial design inspired by Panavision cinema lenses, incorporating vintage lens elements in a classic color scheme, this lens exudes a unique aesthetic. Crafted from durable anodised aluminium alloy, it is robust yet lightweight, perfect for on-the-go video creation or pairing with stabilisers to achieve cinematic video effects.
