Sirui VD-01 Anamorphic Lens

SKU #104522 MODEL #VD01

Overview

Create cinematic, widescreen videos on your mobile device, complete with effects that include light leaks and lens flares with the VD-01 Anamorphic Lens from Sirui. Anamorphic lenses operate by capturing a wider image than would normally be possible with standard optics. They accomplish this by horizontally squeezing a wider image onto your phone's sensor. As this lens performs a squeeze of 1.33x, the horizontal field of view will increase by 33%, which gives videos an aspect ratio of 2.40:1, as compared to the spherical, or non-anamorphic ratio of 1.78:1 (16:9).

Sirui built this lens' optics using German-manufactured Schott glass, and the lens housing features aircraft-grade aluminum components, both of which increase durability and resolution. The optics also feature multi-layer, anti-reflective coatings. The VD-01 can be mounted to your phone using Sirui's Mobile Lens Clip Adapter, and it may also be used with Sirui's Circular Polarizer Filter and Adjustable ND Filter.

Please note that videos shot with this lens require the Sirui Lens app to properly display the 2.40:1 aspect ratio. The FilMic Pro app is also available for purchase and includes more professional features.
