GoPro Anamorphic Lens | Cinematic Camping Escape

Shot 100% on the GoPro HERO13 and the Anamorphic Lens Mod.

*PLEASE NOTE*
This was all shot on an early pre-production prototype of the Anamorphic lens, with considerably blurrier optical glass than what's available in the production units today. While some blurring in the corners is expected, the blurring you may see across other parts of the frame have been addressed.
**

Unlike all other Anamorphic lenses previously available, the HERO13 de-squeezes the video directly on-camera, real-time. This means preview, recording, and playback are all ready to go in a super-wide 21:9 aspect ratio, without any post-work required. It also has digital stabilization built in. Using the anamorphic lens can provide an image that has a much wider FOV than the traditional GoPro lens, without the fisheye look.

@BenjaminOrtega and I took the HERO13 and the Anamorphic lens camping, biking, and adventuring for a weekend of fun in California.

I prefer to shoot most of my anamorphic content while the camera is flat and level, to minimize distortion and maximize the wide FOV effect . For that reason, much of this video was shot with a long pole and a small tripod at the base.

You can find my favorite tripod, for use with the GoPro extension pole here:

I also like to have a ball-head on top so I can level the pole on an uneven surface:

This was all shot with GP-Log and graded with Davinci Resolve.

I bet we all would love to see a 'how to' video. You are a wizard.

[Mcgeee]

Dude this is amazing. Love the slower vibe

The best anamorphic GoPro content I've seen so far, actually feels truly cinematic - framing, exposure, and grading all feel well considered. Beautiful test of the camera to showcase what it's capable of!

[StanShimkus]

Thanks Abe, ... Amazing as always! Just got my lens last week & it is spectacular 👍 Havin' fun with it already!!

[PhillipSkraba]

That looks insanely good, I need one!

[ElDukeAy]

Abe. We’ve missed you man. Why don’t you post as often as before? You have the best content bro.

[JasonTuno]

so sick!! incredible image quality and cinematic value through the roof. Crazy this was on a gopro

[cv_outside]

this is so crisp it feels like i can touch it.

[TheFamilyTravelTales]

You’re a wizard for cameras and editing, simple and beautiful. Made the GoPro look like a mega expensive rig!

[KevinPerronMedia]

Damn. Now getting one of these is a must.

[diegotobar]

Saw the stills on the GoPro subreddit.
Seeing them move was pretty sickkk!!

[JaydenLawson]

Feels like a new genre has just been created. Was than an FPV quad Zadia was playing with?

[seastar]

Cool video. But it would be even cooler if you didn't add black bars on the top and bottom, but just cropped the video to 21:9. On ultra-wide monitors it's horrible to watch it.

[eightyeightshorts]

WOW ! thats really beautiful ! What color profile did u used ?

[jayant.srivastava]

I just can't believe it. This needs to be verified. The result is insane! Can you please share the settings!

Hi Abe, I found my way here from your AMA Reddit post. Please, please, PLEASE make HLG + anamorphic happen. My entire workflow is HLG + 1.33x anamorphic (iPhone + Moment anamorphic lens; DJI Mavic 2 Pro + Moment anamorphic lens). I’m not sure if this is due to a lack of processing power, but I just got back from testing the new GoPro and lens and I couldn’t be more disappointed HLG isn’t available.

…also, if I’m complaining on the internet (😅), I feel like the hyper smooth can be improved to hold the centre of the frame better. There’s too much lateral movement and dynamic zooming/stabilizing despite having ‘Auto Boost’ turned-off.

Lastly, if you need a beta tester, please let me know.

Can someone Please explain what is the point of this RGB looking light line/streak over the otherwise beautiful shots?? I sometimes get that similar looking light line when my lens is dirty 🤣

[sprintlifecamp]

So good man 😍 how do you grade so well without any nd filters on that lens 😮

[edgarhigham]

Are you running GoPro Labs custom settings on this? Looks amazing.

[raggeCKo]

Can you comment on the two distracting soft columns either side of the "middle 3rd"?
