Beastgrip x Kenko Pro Series 0.75X Wide Angle Lens

The Beastgrip 0.75X Wide Angle Lens expands the camera’s field of view by reducing the effective focal length by approximately 25%, allowing more of the scene to fit into the frame compared to the native camera lens.

For example, when used on the main 24mm wide camera of modern iPhones, the 0.75X lens provides an effective focal length of approximately 18mm equivalent. This allows creators to capture wider shots while continuing to use the smartphone’s primary camera, which typically offers the best sensor, optics, and overall image quality.

In addition to expanding the field of view, the lens also reduces the minimum focusing distance of the main wide camera to just a few centimeters. This enables extreme close-up shots with a wide perspective, creating unique compositions with pronounced subject emphasis and shallow depth of field for specific artistic and creative looks that are not possible with the native camera alone.

The Beastgrip 0.75X Wide Angle Lens increases the camera’s field of view, allowing more of the scene to be captured horizontally and vertically compared to the native lens. This creates a wider, more immersive perspective.

By expanding the field of view optically, the lens emphasizes spatial depth and foreground-to-background relationships, making scenes feel more open and dynamic.

While most smartphones include built-in ultra-wide cameras, these cameras typically use much smaller sensors and slower apertures compared to the main wide camera. As a result, ultra-wide cameras often deliver lower image quality, reduced dynamic range, and weaker low-light performance, especially in high-contrast scenes.

The Beastgrip 0.75X Wide Angle Lens allows creators to capture wider shots while continuing to use the smartphone’s main camera, which provides the best sensor, optics, and image processing. When combined with a high-quality wide-angle conversion lens, the main camera delivers cleaner images, better dynamic range, and more consistent results, particularly in challenging lighting conditions.

This approach makes it possible to achieve wide-angle perspectives without sacrificing image quality, making the lens a practical choice for creators who prioritize detail, color accuracy, and performance in both bright and low-light environments.

The Beastgrip 0.75X Wide Angle Lens works best when aligned with the main (wide) camera on modern smartphones. The main camera typically features the largest sensor, best optics, and highest overall image quality, making it the ideal base for a wide-angle conversion lens.

Using the lens on the main camera allows creators to achieve a wider field of view while maintaining superior dynamic range, color accuracy, and low-light performance compared to built-in ultra-wide cameras. Optimal results are achieved with proper mounting and alignment using a compatible Beastgrip Pro universal rig or Beastcage for iPhone.

The Beastgrip 0.75X Wide Angle Lens is best used in situations where capturing a wider field of view is important while maintaining high image quality from the smartphone’s main camera. It is well suited for landscapes, architecture, interior shots, travel and documentary filmmaking, group shots, environmental portraits, automotive photography and video such as car exteriors, interiors, and rolling shots, as well as sports and action scenes where a wider perspective helps capture both movement and context.

By expanding the field of view optically, the lens allows creators to capture dynamic wide compositions without switching to lower-quality ultra-wide cameras, preserving clean detail, strong dynamic range, and reliable performance in both bright and low-light conditions.

Any optical system that adds additional glass elements into the light path can introduce optical characteristics such as flare, minor aberrations, or subtle rendering differences. This is a normal and expected part of optical design and applies to all lenses, including those used on professional cameras.

High-quality wide-angle conversion lenses like the Beastgrip 0.75X Wide Angle Lens are engineered to maintain excellent color accuracy, contrast, and resolution, preserving fine detail while expanding the field of view. In addition to capturing wider scenes, the lens introduces natural perspective expansion, depth emphasis, and lens flares that help differentiate the image from the typical smartphone camera look without compromising overall image quality.

External lenses are a creative tool, just like lenses used on traditional cameras. The purpose is not only to capture more of the scene, but also to add optical character and creative control that enhance the final image while maintaining clean detail, accurate color reproduction, and strong overall performance.

When properly mounted and aligned using a compatible Beastgrip Pro universal rig or Beastcage for iPhone, the Beastgrip 0.75X Wide Angle Lens produces no visible vignetting and no distortion under normal shooting conditions.

When used on smartphones with main cameras wider than 24mm equivalent, slight vignetting may occur when filters are used, depending on filter size, thickness, and stacking. Using larger-diameter filters, such as 77mm filters, along with proper alignment, helps minimize or eliminate this effect. In many cases, in-camera image stabilization or digital stabilization introduces a small crop that further reduces any visible edge darkening.

The lens is designed to maintain straight lines with no barrel distortion, preserving natural geometry across the frame. This allows architectural lines, horizons, and vertical elements to remain straight while providing a wider field of view.

Yes. The Beastgrip 0.75X Wide Angle Lens features a built-in 62mm front filter mount and includes a 77mm step-up adapter ring, allowing it to be used with standard 62mm filters as well as 77mm Beastgrip filters.

Filters such as ND filters, polarizers, and diffusion filters including Black Mist can be used for both photo and video applications. For wide-angle use, 77mm filters are recommended, as the larger filter diameter helps reduce the chance of vignetting, especially when using thicker filters or stacking multiple filters. Proper mounting and alignment help maintain optimal optical performance.

Yes. The Beastgrip 0.75X Wide Angle Lens is designed for use in both photography and video applications, delivering consistent optical performance across a wide range of shooting scenarios.

For video, the lens is well suited for handheld shooting, action scenes, travel footage, and cinematic wide shots where capturing more of the environment adds context and visual impact. For photography, it works well for landscapes, architecture, automotive shots, group photos, and dynamic compositions that benefit from a wider perspective.

As with other external lenses, using a third-party camera app that allows manual camera selection and control is recommended on some devices to ensure consistent alignment and predictable results during both photo and video capture.

The Beastgrip 0.75X Wide Angle Lens can be used with both the native camera app and third-party camera apps. However, the recommended approach depends on the device and the level of control needed.

On iPhone, the native Camera app may automatically switch between cameras depending on lighting conditions, zoom level, or shooting mode. For consistent results, using a third-party camera app that allows manual camera selection and control is recommended.

On many Android devices, the native camera app includes a Pro or Manual mode that allows users to manually select and control individual cameras. When such controls are available, the native camera app can work well with external lenses. The choice between native and third-party apps on Android depends on the specific device and user preference.
