Cinema-grade add-on lenses for iPhones?

Jourdan Aldredge on No Film School invites us to Meet the World’s First Cinema-Grade Mobile Lenses for iPhone.

There are at least half a dozen brands of add-on lenses for iPhone cinematography, but these promise to be the first cinema-grade lenses from ShiftCam, working with TUSK.

Beyond the optical quality and build, consider their best use cases:

  1. Discreet Filming in Crowds
  2. Fast-Paced B-Roll Capture
  3. Overhead & Tight Space Shots
  4. Quick Transitions Between Shots
  5. Budget-Friendly Aerial & Water Shots
  6. Scouting Locations
  7. Creative Time-Lapse & Motion Effects
  8. Multi-Cam Filming with Multiple Phones
  9. Professional-Quality Live Streaming
  10. Filming in Extreme Weather Conditions

Here’s the link to the Kickstarter campaign. Not cheap.

My take: I would love to see real-world test footage and charts from these lenses.
