Today, we're looking at the Laowa Nanomorph 27mm and 50mm T2.4 1.5x anamorphic lenses. We'll be shooting anamorphic videos again on the Sony ZV-E1, this time we'll be taking our setup to Blue Ridge, Georgia for a holiday cabin trip so we can test to see what this lens can produce!

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:52 📺 Camera monitor solution: - Need for a camera monitor that desqueezes images, is lightweight, and compact for better composition and focus during anamorphic shooting. 01:46 🔄 Wireless Follow Focus: - Utilizing a wireless follow focus system to address shaky shots and enable smooth focus adjustments during handheld shooting with manual focus anamorphic lenses. 02:26 🏃🏻‍♂️Gimbal for Moving Shots: - Using Zhiyun Crane M-3S and a camera monitor extension arm for stable moving shots, solving the limitations of handheld setups for dynamic scenes. 04:05 🎥 Anamorphic Sample Footage: - Sample footage with gimbal and handheld rig 08:13 🎬 Anamorphic Characteristics: - Explaining the three distinctive characteristics of anamorphic lenses: widescreen cinemascope, tall oval bokeh, and horizontal lens flare streaks, attributing a cinematic feel to videos shot with these

    Lovely clips. Thanks. I am looking at getting 2 of these myself. If you were to buy just 2 of these (I cannot afford more) would it be the 27 and 50 reviewed here? That is currently my choice, and with clear image zoom that combination seems to give a really good focal range. The 27mm wide enough for steady handheld and gimbal, with the 50 giving more accentuated anamorphic character from a tripod.

    Yooo the quality ❤❤. Can you make a color grading tutorial? Log footage
  • @aizelft
    Nice video! Did you use any picture profiles? I can’t play the videos with picture profiles on my macbook, the video without picture profiles play without any issue at all. Could you share some tips? Thanks!
  • @starlover-cl2dq
    nice work bro you solve many problems bro I want to ask if can phone can match DSLR
  • @MockeryManor
    How long can you hold that gimbal setup for? I have a similar setup, and I can’t shoot for more than ten minutes before my arms burn.
  • Thanks for this nice video. Please can we see a video on your handheld rig with the Smallrig follow focus system? I hope I am not asking for too much. Cheers.
