How does this Clamp work?
Simply place your Anamorphic lens in to the base, align it, lock it down and then mount it to your compatible photographic lens (SEE VIDEO BELOW).
Our Clamp is assembled using a 60mm metal base tube with 3 fasteners to grip, hold, and lock the Anamorphic lens into position for focusing.
We use special step rings machined ONLY for this clamp giving it a standard 52mm and or 58mm filter
diameters making it possible to mount to a variety of photographic lenses.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why choose Vid-Atlantic mounting clamp kits over another clamp brand?
A:
As one of the 1st clamp developers, we've aimed to offer a simple and semi-universal system; a One-Kit-Fits-Most approach at a lower price.
There are other well developed and higher priced clamps available that are made for a very specific Anamorphic lens to SLR lens combinations. This is great for an exact or definite setup but can get very pricey for multiple lens setups. Our clamp kits will work with a wider variety of Anamorphic lens to SLR lens combinations than other clamp brands, making it more ideal for experimenting with various setups.
We've been copied by others (with higher price tags, fewer options, limited features and poor support). Our clamps include 2 standard size step-rings for mounting to various SLR lens fronts (52mm & 58mm for the Basic Clamp kit or 72mm & 77mm for the XL Clamp kit). We also provide 2 sets of (varying sized) metal fastener screws versus 1 set of nylon plastic screws which are known to fail and could compromise a secure fit.
Q: When working with most Anamorphic lenses, do you need to focus both lenses to focus on your subject?
A:
Yes, in most cases unless you are lucky enough to find and Iscorama! If you must have that Anamorphic look and still must have rack focus or Run n Gun capabilities, please consider shooting along with the CineMorph Filter which can be found on our Vid-Atlantic website. It gives your DSLR image a nice Anamorphic Bokeh and great Lens Flares all-in-1 simple filter.
Q: Will this clamp work with the larger Anamorphic Projection Lenses?
A:
No, most of those lenses are have a back-end diameter larger than 57mm and you might want to stay away from those lenses in the first place to do their inability to focus on anything closer than 15 to 50 feet away in some cases. No to mention the big lenses will rip the filter threading off of your SLR lens if not supported properly.
Q: Yeah, but if I use a diopter I can get closer focus with those types of lenses, correct?
A:
Yes, but good luck finding a large quality diopter and say goodbye to infinite focus if you do find one.
Q: So what lenses do you recommend?
A:
Smaller Compact Anamorphic and Cinemascope Attachments lens made for both taking and projection. Looks for Sankor, Singer, Eiki, Kowa, 16D, 16C, 16F, 16H, 8Z, 16m/m, Proskar, Sun, or if you find a lens but still aren't sure, send us a link or photo.
