Reviews are in...

We would like to thank all of you for your patience at this time. Like many companies, we've had some challenges due to the global outbreak of COVID-19 and are doing our best to keep innovating and delivering the gear you love.

GOOD NEWS is that our popular Multi-Camera Filter Mounts are back in stock and ready to ship. We''re excited for everyone who has ordered to start shooting with this helpful tool! If you haven''t ordered yet, click here to learn more from a short video.

We love seeing our gear make a difference in the #mobilefilmmaking and #mobilephotography community. Creators who have been using our latest release are loving it. Here''s what some professionals had to say on Twitter:

"This multi-camera filter mount by @MoondogLabs has made such a difference in my workflow. A perfect match for @FiLMiCPro''s new DoubleTake app." - @Rob_Layton

"...with iPhone video production, the lack of real NDs I can attach to the lenses has been the most noticeable limitation in shooting in hard daylight. Add one more game changer to the pile." - @dreyeseron

"Innovative design, as always, from @MoondogLabs" - @drctrs

"...you''re really gonna dig this very simple, yet very powerful new product from @MoondogLabs" - @iFilmmakers

We''ve also had product write-ups on sites like No Film School, DP Review, and PetaPixel. Read on to see how creatives are using the Multi-Camera Filter Mount (MCFM). Plus, check out how some drone pilots are enhancing their shots with Moondog Labs gear and the Sony RX0II...

The Multi-Camera Filter Mount in Action

iPhoneographer Blake Calhoun demonstrates what you can do with our latest product. Not only using 52mm filters, but with step-up rings, the MCFM becomes an incredibly versatile tool.

"But I want to use filters with your anamorphic lens..."

Don''t worry, we have you covered... or should we say filtered...?

While the Multi-Camera Filter Mount is great for those not shooting anamorphic, we have two different mounts for working with our anamorphic lenses:

Filter Mount for Clamp-On Anamorphic Lenses (works with only clamp-on style lenses)
Filter Mount for Anamorphic Lenses (works with each of our other lenses)

We also have our 52mm Filter Mount -12.5mm Thread for those using our 12.5mm case system when not shooting anamorphic.

No matter how you''re shooting on mobile, we have a filter system for your setup.

Moondog Labs on a Sony RX0II + an FPV Drone

The team at Half Chrome Drones combined a Sony RX0II and a Moondog Labs 37mm Thread Anamorphic Lens via our Lens Mounting Kit and attached that rig to an FPC drone. The results are pretty impressive...

Fill That Social Distance with Creativity

From all of us here at Moondog Labs, we hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy during these trying times.

As many across the world continue into their second month of quarantine, we are inspired by the will of the human spirit. Not only is our global society doing their part to #StayHome, but while keeping our distance physically, we''ve come together creatively.

From GoPros to iPhones, creatives of all kinds are finding their way of telling their story through filmmaking and photography while in quarantine. Continue reading to see some of the innovative films circulating the globe AND see how you can get involved in numerous filmmaker challenges.

How Spain United Filmmakers on Instagram

Soon after quarantines began, Bed Mar Films, a Madrid based production company, teamed up with Cinephone International Film Festival and launched the Cuarentena Film Festival -- an Instagram-only collection of films.

Within just a few short weeks, @cuarentenafilmfestival has gained over 12,000 followers and has cataloged over 500 films created under quarantine. Each piece is under two minutes long, and while most are in Spanish, many also transcend language.

We are proud to supply the winner with a gift certificate for MDL gear. We''ll be sure to share the winning film with you!

Ghost - Now Available on Amazon Prime Video #madewithmoondog

Since losing his father a few years ago, producer/director Anthony Z James felt compelled to tell a story about their relationship through the lens of a gritty crime drama, the kind of movie his father loved most.

The result is Ghost: a character-driven film featuring strong performances paired with uninterrupted, cinematic shots.

Anthony was kind enough to give the Moondog Labs community a behind-the-scenes look into his filmmaking process in a meet-the-director interview:
