Anamorphic Lens Ulanzi 1.15x for DJI Mavic 3 (MPN 2869)

The Ulanzi anamorphic lens 1.15x for DJI Mavic 3 expands the drone camera's horizontal field of view to produce a subtle anamorphic squeeze and cinematic look for aerial videography. Designed as an attachable optical accessory, this lens modifies the Mavic 3's image geometry to deliver wider horizontal framing while preserving vertical field, enabling wider composition and a characteristic cinematic bokeh and lens flare behavior when paired with compatible camera settings and post-production desqueeze.

Advantages

The lens provides a gentle 1.15x horizontal stretch that increases the effective horizontal capture without substantial distortion, allowing filmmakers to retain natural vertical proportions. It is compact and made for straightforward attachment to the Mavic 3, minimizing additional payload and preserving flight stability. Optical design emphasizes even illumination and maintains image sharpness across the frame for typical aerial shooting distances.

Suitable for

• Aerial filmmaking requiring a cinematic widescreen look
• Landscape and cityscape footage where wider horizontal coverage is desired
• Commercial videos, travel films and real estate presentations shot with a Mavic 3
• Creative projects that benefit from anamorphic flares and shallow perceived depth

Key specifications

• Optical factor: 1.15x anamorphic horizontal stretch
• Compatibility: designed for mounting on the DJI Mavic 3 camera housing
• Form factor: lightweight, low-profile attachable lens element
• Image effect: horizontal expansion with minimal vertical scaling and preserved center sharpness

How to use

Mount the anamorphic lens securely to the Mavic 3 according to the manufacturer's alignment instructions, ensuring the lens axis is correctly oriented to achieve the intended horizontal squeeze. When shooting, frame with the expanded horizontal field in mind and record in a resolution and aspect ratio that allow post-production desqueeze (typical workflow: capture wide, then desqueeze in editing software). Check gimbal balance and flight behavior after attachment, and verify focus and exposure across the frame before critical takes.

Usage recommendations

Use the lens for wide aerial shots filmed at medium to long distances from subjects to maximize sharpness and to exploit the anamorphic character; avoid close-up subjects where edge softness may be more pronounced. Shoot raw or high-bitrate video and apply proper desqueeze in post to retain the cinematic proportions and avoid unnecessary cropping.
