GoPro Introduces the Anamorphic Lens Mod

GoPro’s new Anamorphic Lens Mod promises improved performance for creators seeking to give their footage a more cinematic appearance and feel.

The Anamorphic Lens Mod provides a 21:9 aspect ratio and an ultra-wide field of view while promising little distortion. The new GoPro modification is “perfect for professional cinematographers, photographers, and creators looking to achieve sought-after anamorphic perspectives and lens flares in a package that costs a fraction of similar professional systems.”

“Anamorphic Lens Mod and Hero13 Black have expanded what I can create with my GoPro,” says GoPro Creator and commercial filmmaker Chris Rogers. “With the addition of the Anamorphic Lens Mod to my GoPro camera kit, I can capture incredibly dramatic and cinematic perspectives in a durable, and portable package that’s stands alongside professional setups that cost tenfold more,” Rogers continues.

The GoPro Anamorphic Lens Mod is compatible with the Hero13 Black’s Auto Detect feature, which detects the Anamorphic Lens Mod and converts the camera to the appropriate shooting mode. The action camera features in-camera de-squeeze, allowing artists to quickly assess their wide footage in regular perspective. The Anamorphic Lens Mod, like the rest of the GoPro Hero ecosystem, is waterproof and durable enough to withstand harsh elements and bad weather.

With the addition of the Anamorphic Lens Mod to the GoPro ecosystem, the HB-Series lens collection now includes four products. The Anamorphic Lens Mod joins the Ultra Wide Lens Mod, which provides the Hero13 Black with a 177-degree field of view at a 1:1 aspect ratio, the Macro Lens Mod, which can focus four times closer than the standard lens, and the ND Filter 4-Pack, which allows for optimal shutter speeds for cinematic motion blur (ND4, ND8, ND16, and ND32).

Here are some sample pictures:

The HB-Series Lens Collection will begin delivering next week, including all of these products as well as the Anamorphic Lens Mod in a package for $350. Beginning next quarter, creators may get the GoPro Hero13 Black with this combo for $700.

GoPro’s new Anamorphic Lens Mod will also be available for purchase separately at $130.
