It is amazing what everything is possible in a minimal space these days. This little anamorphot on the Osmo Pocket 3 may not be a high-end tool, but it is certainly a little dream for every cineaste who always likes to have a mini camera with them for those special moments.

Because even though not even 1.33x is possible, there is already a visual upgrade that makes the difference. The lens flares also stand out and can be fun. It's a pity that there isn't a version with neutral flares. 1.2x seems a bit rounded up to me too, but not so much that I would call it a lie. Anyone who desqueezed with 1.2x won't notice anything with most recordings, and anyone who uses test charts is perhaps most likely to focus on the somewhat fish-eyed atmosphere. These peculiarities were to be expected, are fortunately rather reserved in everyday life, and knowing them is a key, because you can work with them and even use them.

And as much as the lens has been minimized here, unfortunately you can only remove it before turning off Osmo Pocket 3, which the gimbal doesn't like at all. You have to remember that, because with the adapter plugged in, the camera module no longer fits into the park position, and clicking when the lens hits the housing is not for paranoids. After all, putting it on is possible because the lens is mobile when switched off.

However, if you are already fumbling with the smallest optics and have steady and careful fingers, you can also use this anamorphic in conjunction with a filter. Unfortunately, the filter always goes between the camera lens and the adapter, because the front of the adapter just doesn't work. But at least there's something going on.

The ultimate solution would have been one that simply lands on the lens and never has to be removed again, and then offers space for one or the other filter on the front, but DJI simply did not leave enough space there.
