The anamorphic lens gives your mobile creations a more authentic look. Designed for use with the iPhone, Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy and Note lines, the lens has cinema-quality glass, a proprietary lens coating and will give your footage a widescreen look and cinemascope feel.

It’s all about the letterbox. It’s a Kickstarter project at the moment, which means you can pick it up for a little cheaper than its future retail price. Who knows, you could be the next Steven Soderbergh.
