Black Eye Launches Smartphone Pro Kit G4
6 March 2019
Black Eye has announced its Pro Kit G4, a one-kit solution for pro-level mobile photography and filmmaking. The kit features three new Pro lenses: the Pro Portrait Tele G4, Pro Fisheye G4 and Pro Cinema Wide G4 in a durable, compact travel case.
"Photographing the majestic fjords of Norwaywithout a wide-angle lens just wouldn't portray the breathtaking scenery in the same way as you'll see it with your own eyes," said photographer Damon Beckford. "These pocketable pro lenses travel easily and allow me to capture amazing angles quickly and easily wherever I go."
LENSES
The three lenses use Black Eye's Universal clipper attachment system to mount on most smartphones, including two-lens models, using a spring-loaded clip. The three lenses in this set include:
- The Pro Cinema Wide G4 lens features straight leading lines and distortion-free images with a generous 120-degree angle of view.
- The Pro Portrait Tele G4 gets you 2.5x optically closer to subjects with the 40-degree angle of view.
- The Pro Fisheye G4, a high-quality 175-degree fisheye lens, is designed for shooting anything where you need to fit more in the picture.
PRICE, AVAILABILITY
The Black Eye Pro Kit G4 is available now directly from the company for $250, which is $50 less than buying the lenses individually.
New Black Eye Pro Kit G4: A One-Kit Solution for Pro-Level Mobile Photography and Filmmaking
Photographers, videographers, adventurers and storytellers can capture amazing angles quickly and easily and expand their visual stories with this lightweight compact smartphone lens kit
HELSINKI, Finland -- Close ups of the 1,000 lb. brown bear with claws thick, sharp and strong. Capturing the breadth of the massive fjords of Norway jetting from the earth.
These are the unique and challenging shots pro photographer Damon Beckford captures with Black Eye's new Pro Kit G4, using its three new high-quality Pro phone lenses and just his smartphone camera to achieve professional-level photography while traveling on adventures.
Black Eye's Pro Kit G4 is a one-kit solution for pro-level mobile photography and filmmaking. It features three new Pro lenses -- the Pro Portrait Tele G4, Pro Fisheye G4 and Pro Cinema Wide G4. The durable, compact travel case makes it easy and convenient to travel with the lens set. A $300 value for $250. That's about a tenth of the cost and weight of dSLR camera backpack with all of its accessories.
Travelling the world from extreme snowy remote locations to exotic cities, Damon keeps his bags light with Black Eye's pocket-sized lenses when it's restrictive to carry heavier dSLR camera gear.
"Photographing the majestic fjords of Norwaywithout a wide-angle lens just wouldn't portray the breathtaking scenery in the same way as you'll see it with your own eyes," said Damon. "These pocketable pro lenses travel easily and allow me to capture amazing angles quickly and easily wherever I go."
Adventurers, storytellers, photographers and videographers like Damon can bring in new angles and expand their visual stories with these easy-to-use compact lenses that quickly clip onto most smartphones.
The Pro Cinema Wide G4 lens offers what most wide-angle lenses for mobile phones do not: straight leading lines and life-like distortion-free images -- with a generous 120-degree angle of view. This lens truly immerses the viewer into the pictures. Ideal for capturing travel highlights, selfies, vast landscapes and urban cityscapes by fitting more in the frame.
With the Pro Portrait Tele G4, take stunning portraits and get 2.5x optically closer to subjects when it's not physically possible, from a top of a cliff or across the street with the 40-degree angle of view. Make subjects pop out from the image with a shallower depth of field. Capture images that look more life like.
The Pro Fisheye G4, a high-quality 175-degree fisheye lens, is perfect for shooting action sports, architecture, road trips, parties -- anything where you need to fit more in the picture. Get demanding close-up action sports and POV photos and video. Cover epic landscapes without having to resort to panorama apps and stitching. Get a wider view to selfies by just clipping the lens over the front camera. Truly capture what you are seeing.
These high-quality Pro G4 lenses have the industry's best optics offering better image quality, less vignetting and better flare protection, at competitive price points. The Universal clipper attachment system, compatible with most mobile devices, sets Black Eye apart from other products on the market.
