Perfect for anamorphic photographers, content creators, mobile filmmakers and anyone chasing cinematic results on the go without a desktop. As a cinematographer who’s always chasing new looks and creative possibilities, I developed Vertiscoper out of my own need for a simple and fast anamorphic workflow, no matter if the lens is mounted for a vertical or in a classic horizontal setup. With today’s demand for fast, social-ready content, shooting “Vertiscope” is my go-to way to capture flexible ≈1:1 masters, ready for any format.
