What smartphone lens are you going to get next? #smartphonefilmmaking #smartphonelenses #shiftcam - Jak na to + styl
ATTENTION! I was informed last week that Shiftcam had some major issue in factory resulting in a backlog of orders... If you made an order and haven't received your package yet, please send me your order number via my website. I will absolutely follow up with them as this needs to be resolved... thank you... today is January 1st, 2024, I will take down this comment once I see that everything is back to normal..
Good luck. I’ve tried contacting them a hundred times. They finally sent my stuff, but somehow I got the wrong case. I need a 15 pro max, received a regular one. I’d even just buy one but I can’t get ahold of anyone. Anywhere. Email. FB. IG. Website. Nada. Wish I could just get the case. I already reversed the charges. Sad. Lenses look dope. If I could find someone to swap cases with…
You got yours!!!! I have the complete set ordered and can’t wait!!! Glad you did this vid….
I am sure you will enjoy them. The quality is really high...
Nice! This really is like a masterclass in mobile phone lenses 👏.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Hello, you are good I have been following you for about 2 years I wanted to thank you for the training you saw filming with mobile and I learned many things from you.
Thank you so much for your support
Great video loved all the lenses, the macro interest me the most.
Thank you so much for sharing
I just love your videos
Thank you very much for your support
Thank you once again great inspiration and information
You are so welcome
Love the way you enlighten us with your knowledge 🙏♥️
Thank you for your support
Wonderful presentation with precise information as always. Thank you so much Zdenka~! :))
You are very welcome
I Just purchased a full kit. Been learning about some delivery issues the company is having..
They seem so nice and hopefully they match the quality of the kit you received.
You have the best voice to listen to. Looking forward to learn more from your channel.
Thank you so much for sharing. Sadly there are a few other issues with the company, so I cannot really do more videos about these lenses until things get sorted out. Thank you so much for your support and kind words. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos.
Zdenka,love your videos. I have been studying what lenses and filters to buy for my new iPhone 15 Pro Max and I just purchased the package deal you demonstrated in this video to include an iPhone 15 Pro Max case.
I am new to this. A hobby if you will but I am looking forward to playing with the set.
Love your European accent. I lived 20 plus years in Regensburg Germany and miss Europe a great deal.
Good luck with your channel.
Thank you so much Daniel… I am quite positive. You will be happy with the whole set because you will have so much options there. The new phone will make you happy that’s for sure. I received my 15 pro yesterday. I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet. Many greetings back to you. I’m originally from Czechoslovakia … the Czech side
Thanks for this lovely informative video.
My special thanks are few days back I expessed for such video to you and it came.
Great thing about your videos is it has a technical content aling with its practical usage and guidance.
This your viewer from India.
Thank you so much for your support. I am glad you liked the video
Very interesting! Thanks 🙏
You are very welcome
Great video, as always! Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome
Incrível os seus vídeos Zdenka! Parabéns...👏👏👏😍😍
Thank you so much for your support
Wow! Amazing kit...
I was stunned myself once I opened up the case... I didn't expect to see this.
Very interesting tutorial and thank you again
You are very welcome
Thank you - your video is very comprehensive, with excellent example photos - a much more useful medium than reviews which use only video footage. I’ve used the Shiftcam lenses from their previous generation to the current LensUltra. I also tried Moment but wasn’t impressed by them.
You are very welcome and thank you very much for your feedback on those lenses
Wow. I love the evolution of shooting professional video on smartphones
Yes it has advanced big time
Just wow😮
Thank you for sharing your thoughts... that is exactly how I reacted once I opened up the case.
Thank you for covering this! I have been seeing this and was unsure if I will get them. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max that I will be using for a long time 'cause with my focus of work there is no plan on getting a mirrorless camera for some time.
There are many alternatives.. this video was more a guide to any smartphone lenses.
I have this filter the shiftcam. For iPhone 14 pro max o galaxy s23 ultra ...contact
Thank you very much Zdenka
You're welcome 😊
Thank you ...top notch
You are very welcome
You're knowledgeable & talented person.
Thank you so much for your support
You are the person most worth listening to, will the lenses still be compatible with next Iphone Ultra? Thnaks for your great rev
That is a question I cannot answer. I will however answer it as soon as I get my hands on the new iphone. I truly hope it is compatible as it would be a big problem...
Love your videos!...thanks...U.K.
You are very welcome
Great video
Thank you so much for your support
Nice video thanks
You are very welcome
Thank for your sharing ❤
You are very welcome
My first smartphone lens was a Moondog labs anamorphic lens which fitted perfectly on my iPhone 7. I have struggled to get anything nearly as good since then, culminating in my disappointment when I purchased a Smallrig phone case and a Smallrig 1.55 anamorphic. They did not line up despite the strong magnets on the backplate!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience
Thank you very much Zdenka for your clarity and "art" of making thing so simple to understand...
You are very welcome
Thank you for suggesting third party programs to handle the variations of lenses on top of the telephoto lenses already on IPhones. I watched several other videos that would have complaints about needing the extra software compared to the Samsung series, but not offer the solution they used.
You are very welcome…. I try to help instead of complain lol… I am glad it was helpful
I use photogrammetry in nearly every one of my videos. Based on simple math, I have taken 100,000 pictures with photogrammetry in the last 18 months. I may need to consider getting an extra lens for my iPhone b/c I use the camera so often!
Thank you so much for sharing
Are there any smartphone gimbals yet that can handle the extra weight of the lenses? Thank you, love your very informative videos. They are clearly explained even for those of us who are not familiar with much of the photography lingo.
Yes Hohem iSteady M6 or Zhiyun smooth 5S
These kits are very pricey, and future compatibility is definitely an issue. I hope at least that they will create new cases for coming phones, that enables the consumer to replace only the phone case and not lenses. Otherwise, it would be expensive to pay another 1000$ each time a new phone comes to the market for a compatible kit.
Unfortunately that is why I always say buy mirrorless camera instead. Long term much better investment. If you plan on keeping your phone for years to come then sure get these….
@@ZdenkaDarula I agree about the mirrorless cameras. These smartphone lenses do have a place in the world of photography. Generally speaking, I think the built-in lenses will suffice for most smartphone photographers.
Personally, I would take a look at Moment's products. I've used their lenses in the past, and they are way cheaper and pretty good for hobby photographers.
Love you and love your work and have been a silent subscriber for years BUT I must admit the photos taken without these lenses appears to be more sharper and vibrant as compared to the ones with lenses. May be my expectation level was raised by manual SLR and its lenses that I have used for past 30 years.
It is
If the lens become incompatibility then it's best to use camera lens adapter , beastgrip mk2 adapter ànd tamron lens , etc....right zdenka?? Top notch
*Thanks for the great informative review*
*Do you think soon the mobile phones will replace the professional cameras?*
You are very welcome. It is hard to say. I think there will always be demand for pro cameras. Smartphones will be for consumers…. But not pro work
Agree - it really depends on your application. In my case I use two Canon EOS 1Dx Mark IIs (pretty old but waiting for an R1 body to be introduced). In daylight I shoot American football at 1/5000 seconds with aperture between f2.8 - 5.6, with about 80% of the shots on my 400mm f2.8 lens. So an iPhone (iPhone 15 Pro Max being delivered tomorrow Sept. 22) or any smart phone isn't going to be in the same ball park (or football field). I can see for socials, and street photography, a smart phone would be better in most cases. @@ZdenkaDarula
I need to use a third party app to use cinematic mode using anamorphic lenses right?
1st to comment 😊. Thank you zdenka
You are very welcome and cheers!
Great review! The aluminum mount is great but for the rest of the case, I don't really like vegan leather. It a bit looks like normal plastic. I would like to know more. Is it possible to make vs battle video lenses compare Shiftcam, Moment, and Sandmarc?
Thank you for sharing… yes I will be comparing them to others
Hello, Zdenka, How about the lens profiles for these lenses in Adobe Lightroom CC. Do they have that support ?
To be honest, I’m not sure
Wow!! Here in Brazil there is no such product to use on the iphone. At least I never saw or knew. Interesting!
It is a brand new product. That is why you probably never heard of it. Many greetings to Brazil.
@@ZdenkaDarula I'll appreciate it very much. ♥️♥️
I wasted money on other items before finally yesterday ordering the ProGrip & accessories, 18mm & 60mm lenses, and the 1.55 anamorphic lens. I've been a serious photographer since the 1980's, but I've not enjoyed photography more since moving to using a smartphone instead of a camera, despite my previous preference for expensive digital cameras and before that, 35mm and large format high resolution film. I used Moment lenses with my old iPhone, but this setup looks to be my ideal. At least I hope.
I totally understand what you mean. It takes time to find what you truly will use and what you like. I’ve been there so many times
@ZdenkaDarula it could be very cool to do a test if the freewell set, I am waiting on it too and thank you for your videos. 😊
Have you received your order? I ordered same lenses as you and no shipment after more than 3 months.
@@lynnfuentas9236 I finally nailed them down and found out they were holding up my order because the anamorphic lens wasn't available, so I told them to send the rest of the order without the one lens, and they did. Still waiting on the anamorphic lens.
WoW
That is what I said once I opened up the case... lol.
Can you use portrait mode or cinematic mode while using 60mm tele lens or the anamorphic lenses?
No unfortunately. For tele lens you need to film in 3rd party app. Anamorphic can do it though but you need to desqueese it in the post. I tried it and it was possible
Awesome looking kit, I wonder how they compare to the Freewell kits.
Zdenka, I just picled up an S23 Ultra, I'm seeing that alot of gimballs cannot handle the weight, any recommendations for a couple pf gimbals that will handle the weight of an s23 Ultra + accessories.
Thank you 🙏😊
You are very welcome. I’ll address the S23 in the future videos
Can u suggest lens kit for samsung s21 ultra 5g that isn't 1100 plus dollars. I already have all the flagship mirrorless gear already
can i put anamorphic lens in the (selfie) front camera ? thanks a lot Zdenka 🙏
No… only read camera
The perfect kit doesnt exi...........
Absolutely 👍
Thank you for this information but I have a question for filter what i do choose between CPL and ND (Nd2 -400) thank you again 😊
You are very welcome. CPL filter is different than ND filter.., here is a video where it explains it: cpl filter czcams.com/video/bAvG2UAkdag/video.htmlsi=dZj3WAQ7V7IdZL-E and VND filters czcams.com/video/SmGbb6VZy4A/video.htmlsi=qurdBMrk8LyM-0ZB one filter is for reflections only and the other one will let you film in manual mode
@@ZdenkaDarula okay i go to watch it , thank for your information good job,🇩🇿
I wish I could receive that kit for my iPhone 13 pro max and doing most of my recordings on the iphone. Any chance on a give-a-way?
Sorry no giveaway on this one
Have you tried the neewer cage for the galaxy ultra series? It seems more affordable and you can get some of the same results from the lenses. The cage has many holes for attachments. Are freewell and neewer compatible?
Unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to try it….
What impact do these add-on lenses have on the resulting aperture? Is it like adding filters or extenders on a DSLR lens? Also, how does adding on an extra lens increase resolution (since adding a pro lens on a consumer DSLR doesn't improve the image quality though it may change the field of view; it's still the same sensor in the camera)?
It doesn’t change up percher, but it does change size of the image because you are using a standard camera which has higher pixels rate than telephoto camera which is lower… you will get the same result as you would get Telephoto but you are taking it with standard lens
Can I attach shiftcam telephoto and wide lens to a small rig. Please let me know if the mount thread diameter of small rig allows to attach a shiftcam lens to small rig while using an iphone 14 pro max
Unfortunately, no, you have to have specific case from them
When shooting cinematic mode IPhone 14 pro in native app on a sunny day. Do you recommend even using a VND filter or just lower the exposure dial in native app?
This is difficult to say… if you’re OK with automatic mode, then you don’t need a filter… if you are very picky about the picture, then you will naturally want to use an ND filter… most of the people will not even know that you used one
Which would you recommend for indoor virtual tour filming for my IPhone 14 Pro please and thank you.
I would stick with wide angle or ultra wide on camera.., I wouldn’t really get another lens for that
@@ZdenkaDarula thank you for replying! Love your work.
I am trying to understand the type of lenses required for iPhone filming and content creation using Filmic pro. However I would like to know if I should be buying the full kit of all lenses or choose any particular for cinematography. Please advice me so that I could decide before buying the full kit or not.
It really depends what you film…. I don’t think you need the full set but think of what you are missing
Sorry for the question, which gimbal is best to use with iPhone 14 Pro Max with shiftcam case and lenses? Thanks.
You need something stronger. I’d say to go evenwith three in a gimbal.
@@ZdenkaDarula three in a gimbal? Hohem M6 or Zhiyun smooth 5S? Thanks
Hi Zdenka, have you tried these with the new 15 pro max or have a video on these with the PRO MAX 15?
I unfortunately don’t have promax I have only 15 pro. I also don’t have a suitable case to use those lenses. I’m waiting until they send me one.
@@ZdenkaDarula thanks for the reply, tell them to hurry up & send you 1 so we can see lol hope you had a great christmas.
can you plz tell me this problem stock footage( Noise / Artifacts: Content contains noise, film grain, compression artifacts, pixelation, and/or posterization that detracts from the main subject.)
You need more light to lower iso…
You’ve cleared all but one thing in my mind is that does 60mm telephoto on main lens work with cinematic video? Please clear it that does it work better in Cinematic mode than phone’s normal 3x cinematic ?
No you cannot use telephoto lens in native camera app. You need to use mentioned 3rd party app
@@ZdenkaDarula thanks for quick reply🙏♥️
I have both apps from reeflex would these lenses work appropriately with those apps?
They should, but I am not 100% certain. Reeflex have their own lenses as well. I have another brand coming up within the next two weeks so just wait for a little bit
Nice review, but you failed to mention: 1- mounting with very fine screw threads, is very easy to damage; 2- there is no UV filter to protect the lens surface; 3- lens are heavy and unbalance the phone; 4- gimble has to be able to cope with extra weight, thats an extra cost
Failed to mention 😉 those are things I don’t even look at… as per gimbal yes it is obvious it needs 3 in 1 gimbal and I’ve filter is such a waste of money. Never used one in 18 years shooting weddings, glamour and fashion… even friend of mine in camera stores told me, don’t waste your money on that. Those will always get damaged and they only make you buy more and more. My lenses…. all of them have 0 scratch and I’ve been shooting in some crazy conditions…
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for your support
My dream lens kit for my Android Smartphone 🤳. 😢 When can I have one? , I love those lenses💕❤.
They are also available for Android... the link below the video will lead you to it.
Will you recommend CPL filter for low light ? Or to avoid/remove iphone green dots glers which every1 complain ?
No I don’t recommend it for that purpose
@@ZdenkaDarula whats your choice then to remove these horrific green dots then ?
How to fix the green flare on iPhone 14 Pro Max?
Sorry, I don’t have an answer for that
Btw pro camera will offer desqueeze in camera soon. I soooo like it more than filmic pro and I have both.
Thank you so much for sharing... I didn't know about that update.
I have the beta
What size are the filters? 52mm?
I am not sure… if should be on their website
After watching your video, I purchased a few lenses, polarizer and a few other things. Three months later and I have not received them from ShiftCam. I think the name should be ShiftScam? There are many complaints over CZcams and the internet of orders not received. Are you still endorsing them?
I am very sorry to hear this. Unfortunately last week someone else contacted me with the same thing. Please send me your order number and I’ll forward it to them… not liking these issues at all
😊
Thank you for your support
Hi,I think you are making a mistake,because it is the phone sensors that determines the photo resolution and not the lens .Thanks a lot for your great work.
You are very welcome… it’s not a mistake. It comes from their engineers.
I did the Kickstarter for their Ultralens project and still waiting for the product after 2 months of no response from the producer... Have you bought anything and got it delivered?
I’m sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, it is always like this with kickstart campaigns. The product will get to you, but it will take some time.
I wonder how it is with just regular buy, cuz i ordered full kit and now i start to read all those reviews and comments about shiftcam beign scam.
Where is ReeXpose link?
Below the video in a video description
Your discount code doesnt work??
It is only a temporary so it is most likely too old now
This is great but super expensive. 😊😊😊
I hear you….
Zdenka !!! may only u can help me :)
3 months back i was searching for phone lenses and from this ultra video i decided to buy the fulll kit..
but apparently its been almost 3 months from the order day that is 23rd july. :/
please please if its possible for you to help me out ....
I am desperately waiting for this supera product.
Thank you Zdenka :)
my order no. 55691 ordered on 23rd of july 2023.
I am sorry to hear that you’re having these problems. I don’t really have connection but I can try to forward it to the person who contacted me. Can you please send me email through my website… zdenkadarula.com with all this information?
I’m so glad they are sending them to CZcamsrs for free but those of us who paid via their KickStarter about 2 years ago haven’t received anything and are now receiving no updates since they promised to send the all last month.
It is not free…. It is exchange for producing video which takes 5 days.. instead of payment.. people don’t understand it. What I have is prototype which still has many issues.. I cannot sell it, only use it .. there is no value.., on the other note I don’t do Kickstarter as there are always issue. Don’t buy anything there
@@ZdenkaDarula I know how it works. I used to do it. Nice video though. Bad company also.
If apple thinks to get some more many out of people, there is an idea ,if they make much bigger sensor with additional lens to buy, like these attachable ,they can call it iphoneCin, for that one I would pay …
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Ahoi ✌🏻, thanks for sharing. Love the idea wich such lens cases, whorever makes them....the only thing for me is 👀 apples sweet apples..Fruit is nice but so is that usb- C ... 😂.when that comes out il by gimbles lenses whatever even bananas.. sorry apple 👀
They have clamp for Android devices.. it works on them as well
Has anyone tried those cheaper aliexpress/taobao alternatives? how much worse is the quality?
Unfortunately, I cannot answer as I don’t use them
How much?
The link is below the video and a video description. You will be able to see the pricing in your currency.
I was hoping this company would have something for the Samsung Fold 4. Nope. Can't find anything on the market for that phone.
Yes that phone is difficult.. not very friendly for photographers
@@ZdenkaDarula Sounds like a great problem to solve for a smartphone business $$$.
It’s a shame that this system is again another mounting system. M Type, 17mm and this at something like 12mm and other systems as well. If only there was a standard and lenses and filters from different brands were interchangeable.
There is also a clamp available
Same problem with DSLR lenses and filters. Different diameters on lenses require multiple filters for same purposes (e.g. ND filters) unless an adapter is used which reduces the field of view on wider-angle lenses.
Good kit but way too expensive
Yes these are heavy duty lenses… nothing cheap
I still have not received my order after 3 months nor are they responding to my emails. Maybe you need to address this issue as you promoted their gear and influenced me and many others to buy. Also next time maybe do some due diligence on companies that send you free stuff. Shiftcam's many issues go back a long way.
After this video came out …. Again way later …. they had major problem with their factory that is why there is a delay as I was informed last week. It is easy to blame CZcamsr first who has nothing to do with it. However… what I can do for you is if you send me your order number to my email through my website, I’ll forward it to them directly. The fact they didn’t tell you is whole another issue which upsets me as well. Thank you and have a wonderful day
The BIGGEST problem with Shiftcam is they are always very LATE in delivery. 2 different times I ordered their product, both they deliver 1-2 years later from their expected delivery date. Which means the product their advertising is already obselete. They still owe me a set of prolens that comes with the snapgrip... and guess what? They still havnt deliver it after 1+ years.
Did you ordered it from Kickstarter??? Never shop there
Absolutely agree! The "savings" you are offered are meaningless if the product is never developed or delivered and are minimal if product is delivered years after expectation.@@ZdenkaDarula
It's awesome but too expensive and not useful as my needs.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Only one problem of any mobile anamorphic lenses - they give you visible fisheye effect 😭
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
@@ZdenkaDarula 🙏🏻
Instead of buying this I would consider to buy a mirrorless cam… same amount of money you spend
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
:)
Thank you so much for your support
You forgot to tell that shiftcam service sucks after you pay then they will start ignoring you. I order from shiftcam after watching your video but now even after a month they haven’t dispatched my oder. Please stop promoting such brand
I am sorry you are having this issue. Can you please email me through my website with your order number, I’d like to take it to them directly to resolve this
Thanks@@ZdenkaDarula for your response. I've sent an email as per your instructions.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Not gooooood
I am sorry you didn’t like it
Is there any chance you gift me this pack ?
Unfortunately I need this to make future videos with it. I only sell used equipment and replace it with what I need for the channel… no freebies…
