Moment 1.33x Anamorphic Mobile Lens - Cinematic Widescreen for Phone

In this review the Moment 1.33x anamorphic lens is evaluated for mobile filmmakers and enthusiasts who want the cinematic widescreen look without a bulky rig. The bottom line: this lens expands a phone's video to a true 2.39:1 style widescreen format and adds distinctive blue or gold flare options, making it an easy way to achieve a filmic aesthetic. It requires a Moment Camera Case with a Drop-In Lens Mount, so buyers should be prepared to add that case to their kit for secure mounting.

Key Features

• 1.33x anamorphic design: Expands your phone's video to a true widescreen format, producing the letterbox effect common in movies for a cinematic feel.
• Blue or Gold flare options: Blue Flare gives a cool, sci-fi aesthetic while Gold Flare offers a warm, vintage cinematic glow to highlights in footage.
• Professional-grade glass: Multi-element HD glass improves clarity, reduces distortion, and helps in low-light shooting compared with a phone's native ultra-wide lens.
• Series compatibility guidance: Choose T-Series for newer phones like iPhone 14 and Pixel 7 or M-Series for older models like iPhone 13 and Pixel 6 to ensure physical fit with the Moment Case.
• Durable construction: Built from aerospace-grade materials and backed by a lifetime warranty for long-term reliability.

Who It's For

The Moment 1.33x anamorphic lens is best for mobile videographers, independent filmmakers, and content creators who prioritize a cinematic widescreen look and distinctive flares without learning complex post workflows. It is particularly valuable for those already invested in Moment's ecosystem who can pair the lens with the required Moment Camera Case and Drop-In Lens Mount.

It is not ideal for casual photographers who do not want to buy a compatible case or users with phones not supported by either the T-Series or M-Series fit options. If you need a universal clip-on solution or are looking for the cheapest option, this lens may not be the right choice.
