FREEWELL 1.33x Neutral Streak Anamorphic Lens 17mm Mount

Smartphone anamorphic lens for cinematic widescreen

The Freewell 1.33x Neutral Streak anamorphic lens attaches to a smartphone via a 17mm threaded mount on a compatible case or rig. It squeezes the horizontal field of view to deliver a true widescreen aspect that can be desqueezed in post using third-party software such as Blackmagic Camera. Horizontal light streaks from point sources appear naturally without adding color distortion, giving footage a classic cinema look. The glass construction aims for high optical clarity across the frame.

Filmmakers wanting in-camera anamorphic character

This lens suits creators who want genuine anamorphic compression and streak aesthetics straight from a smartphone camera. It is not for shooters who need a standard wide-angle or telephoto conversion, nor for those who prefer to add widescreen bars and streak overlays entirely in editing. Users without a 17mm threaded mount on their case or rig cannot attach the lens, and anyone requiring autofocus electronic communication will not find it here.

Threaded 17mm mount integrates with existing rig

The 17mm thread screws directly onto a matching mount on a smartphone cage, case or genius rig, aligning with the 1x main camera module. No additional adapters or clamps are required, leaving the accessory shoe and other mounting points free for lights, microphones or handles. The compact cylindrical form keeps the centre of gravity close to the phone body, helping balance on gimbals or handheld rigs. Desqueeze is handled in software, so no extra hardware processing is needed.
