Multi-Camera Filter Mount: New From Moondog Labs
The makers of the legendary anamorphic conversion lens for smartphones, Moondog Labs, have just released a Multi-Camera Filter Mount. Aimed at smartphone filmmakers and photographers, the mount makes it easier to attach filters to smartphones. When shooting outside in daylight, the more serious shooters use ND and/or polarising filters.
As you can see, the mount is designed to accommodate the multiple lenses of the new iPhones.
Moondog Labs say the mount “attaches directly to bayonet-style mobile cases (from manufacturers like Moment, Rhinoshield and Sirui) and allows for the use of filters over all of the phone’s cameras simultaneously for maximum creativity. Attach Neutral Density (ND), Circular Polarizers (CPL) and other 52mm filters directly to any bayonet mount mobile case.”
Moondog Labs have demonstrated the use of the lens with the Moment filmmaker case. Unfortunately, it seems that Moment no longer produce this case. However, I asked Moondog Labs’ Shawn Connelly to clarify the situation with the cases and this was his reply:
It works with any bayonet mount case. The case featured in our product launch video was called the Filmmaker case by Moment. It’s ultra-thin so it could be used for both accessory lenses and would still fit in a DJI drone controller. It seems a little flimsy at first, but I personally like it, and it tested well with our lenses and the Multi-Camera Filter Mount.
However, from reviews and comments we’ve read online, it seems many didn’t like it or had issues with it, so it seems they’ve discontinued it.
We also purchased literally every other case Moment makes for testing and they all worked with the Multi-Camera Filter Mount. And from additional testing we’ve done, it should work with any bayonet mount case. We’ve specifically tested on Rhinoshield, Moment and Sirui, but if you know of other bayonet-mount cases out there, let us know and we’ll get our gear on those cases too for testing 🙂
The filter mount can be pre-ordered now and the lens will begin shipping early March.
