In this guide, we’ll walk you through setting up and using the Moment 1.55x Anamorphic Lens on an Android device with the Blackmagic Camera app.

What You Need to Get Started

To properly set up and use the 1.55x Anamorphic Lens, you’ll need the following:

• A compatible Android phone – This guide is based on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, but the setup process is similar for other devices.
• A Moment Phone Case – The lens mounts securely to this case, ensuring proper alignment.
• The Moment 1.55x Gold Flare Anamorphic Lens – The holy grail.
• The Blackmagic Camera App – Allows manual controls and anamorphic de-squeeze settings for proper image formatting.

What's In the Box

When you receive your Moment 1.55x Anamorphic Lens, here’s what you’ll find in the box:

• The 1.55x Gold Flare Anamorphic Lens – A high-quality glass lens designed to enhance mobile video.
• A Lens Cap – Protects the lens when not in use.
• A Hex Tool – Used to adjust the lens orientation.
• A Microfiber Pouch – This keeps the lens safe from dust and scratches.

How to Attach the Moment 1.55x Anamorphic Lens to Your Phone

Since the 1.55x Anamorphic Lens is part of Moment’s T-Series, it requires a compatible T-Series phone case for mounting. Here’s how to attach it:

Step 1: Align the Lens with the Case

• Take your Moment T-Series Case and locate the lens mount.
• Align the bayonet mount on the lens with the camera cutout on the case.

Step 2: Secure the Lens

• Insert the lens and rotate it clockwise until it locks into place.
• You should feel it gently stop, indicating a secure connection.

Step 3: Adjust the Lens Orientation (If Needed)

• To switch between vertical and horizontal shooting, use the hex tool to loosen the bayonet mount.
• Rotate the lens to your preferred orientation and re-tighten the mount.
• This feature is especially useful for creators who shoot content for multiple platforms, such as YouTube and Instagram.

Setting Up the Blackmagic Camera App for Anamorphic Video

To get the correct aspect ratio and cinematic look, you’ll need to configure the Blackmagic Camera App with the right settings.

Step 1: Select the Correct Camera Lens

• Open the Blackmagic Camera App on your Android phone.
• In the top left corner, select the lens menu.
• Choose 1x or 22mm for the best compatibility with the Moment lens.
• Attach the Moment lens to the upper camera mount on your phone.

Step 2: Enable Anamorphic De-Squeeze

Since anamorphic lenses compress the image, you’ll need to de-squeeze the footage for proper display.

• Open Settings in the Blackmagic Camera App.
• Scroll down to the Camera Menu and find Anamorphic De-Squeeze.
• Select 1.55x, which matches the Moment lens.

Once applied, your footage will get that nice cinematic widescreen image with a natural golden lens flare effect.

Conclusion

Now that your Moment 1.55x Anamorphic Lens is set up and properly configured in the Blackmagic Camera App, you’re ready to shoot.

This lens is ideal for content creators, filmmakers, and mobile videographers looking for a professional, cinematic look — all from an Android device. Whether you’re capturing landscapes, cityscapes, or dynamic action shots, the 1.55x Gold Flare Anamorphic Lens will elevate your footage.

If you’re serious about mobile filmmaking, this setup is one of the best ways to achieve high-quality anamorphic video on an Android phone.
