* Filter Compatibility
Due to the ultra-wide horizontal field of view and large glass elements, the lens has a 62mm filter mount to eliminate mechanical vignetting caused by lens enclosure on devices with a 24mm main wide camera.
62mm filter mount is not directly compatible with Beastgrip 58mm Filters. The lens includes a 62-58mm step-down ring to accommodate Beastgrip 58mm filters.
Please note: using 58mm filters with this lens via a step-down ring will cause vignetting on the main wide camera. Camera zoom of up to 15% will be required to eliminate vignetting.
We recommend using at least 77mm filters with step-up rings for the best performance.

Additional information
The latest advancements in smartphone technology, such as bigger camera sensors and faster optics, have created new challenges for conversion lenses developed for older smartphones with smaller sensors. As many of you might already have experienced, these lenses do not perform great and most of the time leave you with mediocre-quality results. Here at Beastgrip, we always aim to make only the best gear for your smartphone photography and filmmaking. We are proud to release the MK2 version of our 1.55X Anamorphic lens.
In general, Anamorphic lenses that deliver great optical performance are very challenging to make, and it became even more difficult to make a lens that produces great results on the latest devices. The most noticeable issues come with a soft image toward the sides of the frame, vignetting (dark corners), and noticeable optical aberrations (color fringing and halation). While many would argue those optical “imperfections” add character to the image, making it more “natural” and helping to hide the usual smartphone look. This, of course, is a very subjective topic, and we agree that it’s the case when all those imperfections are not so strong that it’s basically destroying the image. AR coating also plays a big role in the final image's appearance since it’s responsible for horizontal flare colors and intensity. It can be so intensive that it’s flaring at any light source where the whole image gets additional color shade to the point where it strongly affects the overall color tones and white balance of the image.
In reality, any conversion lens adds additional optical “imperfections”. In an ideal scenario, the perfect lens would not have any of those, which is impossible to achieve. We aimed to create the lens with the most balanced performance, great details across the whole frame, great-looking flares, and color accuracy.
The Beastgrip 1.55X Anamorphic Lens MK2 comes with a completely redesigned, brand-new optical design that produces excellent results on all previous and new generations of smartphones. Its new three-glass elements design and pro-grade AR coating will ensure you always get the best possible results. While filming with this new lens, you will get those perfectly balanced horizontal lens flares that are never oversaturated and are just perfect. It produces natural, beautiful colors without adding the additional hue as some other lenses do. It has no vignetting and great details across the frame with a very settled roll-off toward the corners, even on devices with a 24mm primary camera.
Experience the instantly recognizable vintage charm of the legendary 2.76:1 Ultra Panavision 70 widescreen aspect ratio that you may have seen in The Hateful Eight film right from the 4K camera in your pocket. Our lens is tailored for bold filmmakers, passionate storytellers, and video enthusiasts seeking a distinctive style.
