In this video we are taking a closer look at the Shiftcam Lenses for iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro. This is a lens set completely different to anything else that’s on the market! This kind of edge to edge sharpness is next level and something I have not seen anywhere else. Shiftcam offers interesting lenses such as a telephoto macro lens, two anamorphic lenses, but also “regular” wide angle and telephoto lens. Give them a go and test them for yourself!

Quick question - are the anamorphic lenses “Blue Streak” or “Gold Streak” or something else? Looks like a good range of glass for smartphone users!
What about Samasung Galaxy Ultra phones? Any suggested accessories like ND filters and others?
Looking to reduce or eliminate lense flare. I know I can edit. But would prefer to eliminate. I mainly shoot sunset from a jetski
Better than sandmarc???
different, not better or worse
Which would you recommend? The pans scheme snap filter system, the freewell Sherpa or this shiftcam lensultra series if you had to choose only one? Looking to get one of these for filming on my iPhone.
well they are very different.. here you are mostly looking at lenses. For filters I like the pans scheme best, lenses are very similar from freewell and from Shiftcam
How about B.way vs Pans scheme snap filters?! Which one is better
Do you film your own videos with a smartphone?
Can I use a shiftcam case with a moment lens?
What size filter fits on the 60mm lens? Thanks!
So does this have same issue as other lenses with the iPhone 14 where part of the picture is blocked
I guess what you mean is the macro mode, just turn that off and you‘re good! :)
Only fue iPhone?
Why am I seeing the lens block the view?
You have macro mode activated
nice video, man.. would you be able to measure the weight of the 60mm lens?
thanks! unfortunately I don't have a scale in the studio, you can reach out to them directly :)
Curious what you use fo sound.
there I was using the Rode NTG3
Literally all reviews about the Shiftcam LensUltra kit discredit the soundness of reviews on RUclips because not a single reviewer criticised the lack of lens caps in the kit.
I do wonder if those reviewers would be so indifferent to the lack of lens caps if they had paid $1,200 plus shipping and heavy taxes (if outside the US) for the kit.
In any case, I am reporting Shiftcam to the Better Business Bureau.
I asked all reviewers why they didn’t criticise the lack of lens caps. I deleted the question so I will have just this comment here. I think it will be easier to focus on the matter this way.
Two of the reviewers got nasty and threatened me. They didn’t answer my question. A third one said that his kit actually had lens caps!!! But Shiftcam doesn’t even make lens caps!!!
Most reviewers just ignored my question. They know they can't answer my question and keep face as to not criticise the lack of lens caps in the kit is indefensible.
Just two reviewers answered my question. The first one said he doesn’t care about lens cap for the front lens. Still , he didn’t criticise the lack of lens cap for the rear lens.
In any case, that reviewer is contradicting himself because he claims to care only about the quality of image when choosing a lens but the lack of a lens cap will certainly affect the quality of the image as the more a lens is kept without a lens cap the more it will be exposed to dust, debris, moisture, bumps etc. Unless you keep your seven lenses in the carrying case forever and never use them!
A second reviewer said that it didn’t cross his mind as he thinks a cloth pouch is protection enough.
Both reviewers let their personal habits when it comes to gear protection get on the way of providing important information to viewers.
Let’s not forget that Beastgrip, Sandmarc , Reeflex, Moondog Labs and Moment sell their lenses with lens caps for both rear and front lens (Moment provides caps for the rear lens only but they sell caps for front lenses separately )
Doesn’t that fact deserves to be mentioned in a review about the new Shiftcam lenses seeing that Shiftcam is the only company manufacturing professional lenses for iPhone that doesn’t provide lens caps for their lenses ?
Shiftcam doesn’t even have lens caps to sell separately!!!
They don’t care about protecting their lenses. It’s called irresponsible manufacturing.
And I am not referring only to the kit. Individual lenses sold separately will also ship without lens caps.
Some reviewers replied that Shiftcam individual lenses will come in cases. First of all, their reviews are about the kit, not individual lenses sold separately at a higher price per lens. Second, lens cases are not as crucial as lens caps and they don’t do the same job.
Cases don't protect the lens when it is on the phone , for example.
Say you are walking in a park with your phone in a windy day. You are looking for a next place to do some shooting. What do you do? Put a lens cap on the lens and know the lens is protected against debris brought by the wind etc?
Or you take the backpack from your back, take the case from the backpack, remove the lens from the phone, put the lens in the case and back in the backpack just to invert the process 15 min later?
Or maybe you don’t care about protecting your lenses at all? But if this is the case then it's likely that the quality of your work will be pair with your standards and it won’t really matter which lens you use.
I can improvise my own lens case and have two Beastgrip tele lenses (with lens caps on both ends) in a hard sunglass case which easily fits in my backpack or camera bag. But I can’t improvise lens caps, especially for Shiftcam lenses which have a unique size.
Viewers rely on popular reviewers such as the ones who received a free kit from Shiftcam.
They should hear from those reviewers that the new Shiftcam lenses are likely to be the best lenses for iPhones in the market BUT they are shipping without lens caps so think carefully before ordering their lenses.
A protest against Shiftcam on RUclips reviews would send a loud, clear message: Act as a responsible manufacturer and start the production of caps for all your different lenses. Rear and front.
But no reviewer is protesting. This way, I am.
P.S. I walk my talk.
I bought lenses from Sandmarc, Moment, Beastgrip and Shiftcam last year. I compared them. The Shiftcam tele lens was clearly better than Moment and Sandmarc and a little better than the Beastgrip 2.0 tele.
I sent the Moment and Sandmarc lenses back without hesitation.
I kept the Beastrip and sent the Shiftcam lenses ( I had three) back after some deliberation because they didn't have lens caps and were not compatible with ND filters. I really wanted to keep the Shiftcam tele lens.
I thought that maybe I could live without a ND filter and use the lens just for indoors shooting. But I couldn't live with a lens without lens caps.
To end: Let me state the obvious and list the importance of lens caps according to K& F Concept:
"A lens cap protects the lens from dust and debris. Dust and dirt can build up on the lens, reducing image quality and causing loss of focus. It can also cause scratches on the lens, leading to permanent damage."
It also protects the lens from moisture. "Moisture can cause the lens coating to degrade, reducing image quality."
A lens cap provides a barrier against bumps and scratches.
"It protects the lens from fingerprints and other smudges. Fingerprints can reduce image quality and contrast, so it’s important to keep them off the lens. By using a lens cap, you can keep the lens free from fingerprints and other smudges.” (Interesting here is that one of the reviewers who threatened me mentioned that “The glass on these lenses is so clear every little bit of dust, every little bit of finger smudging …will show up on these lenses like nothing else” . But he doesn’t mention the lack of lens caps in the kit, much less that it is a contra)
They protect the lens from UV rays. "Exposure to UV rays can cause discoloration and fading of the lens coating, which can reduce image quality and contrast.”
Yet, Shiftcam doesn’t provide lens caps for their lenses. Unlike Beastgrip, Moment, Sandmarc, Reeflex and Moondog labs.
Rhinoshield sold their lenses back in the time with two lens caps, too. One for the rear and one for the front of the lens. Both look like mini-versions of lens caps for DSLR‘s and other professional camera systems.
wow nice，the Nd can use on the Anamorphic lens？ look like not have a mount on it… 🧐
Yes, the nd filter has different elements and can be put over the anamorphic lens
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro oh cool，thanks！
Can you use the smallrig case with the lenses?
depends on the lens mount you go with on the cage, if you get the right one, yes!
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro wow , just to confirm, does ultra lens series from shiftcam can be mounted with the smallrig iphone 14 series that you have reviewed ?
Nice, but it seems not so different from some others; With the exception of that 75mm macro lens. I am still sold on Pans snap filter system.
Thanks for sharing
@SMARTPHONE FILMMAKING PRO And I also Love your videos; You really have the talent and a good channel!
@@questqa1906 It's sharper than any other camera lens right now
ShiftCam or Beastgrip?
both great! can't really go wrong with either of them!
@@smartphonefilmmakingprou we’re supposed to choose an option dingbat. Make his life easier with this decision
Just buy a camera at this point
Ugh the iPhone still just looks too sharp to be cinematic
You might have either received money from shiftcam, or got to keep the lenses.
