To Know:
Sometimes you just want that look: the glow, the flare, the little bit of magic that makes a shot feel like it belongs on the big screen. That’s where CineFlare comes in. These filters give you that classic anamorphic-style flare without needing to invest in a whole new lens system. Just twist one onto your favorite lens and let the light dance around. Blue if you’re feeling sci-fi, gold if you want something warmer and kinda Hollywood-like.

Set Your Work Apart From the Rest
Moment is best known for various lineups of smartphone lenses. Between the wide, fisheye, macro, tele, and anamorphic, we offer something special for anyone wanting to up their mobile game. Over the years, as phones became smarter and A.I became creepier, and our engineering team aimed to expand our product lineup. So, we turned to filters.
Filters are the hidden trick to really good looking photos and footage that look different than the standard picture. Depending on which filter you buy, they give off a stylized look and offer external protection and deeper manual controls. We have a filter for just about anything between UV management, achieving a bloomed effect, or even a drop-proof mechanism.
So — lo and behold, another filter to our family: The CineFlare Streak. Get those yummy, flavorful flares you’d normally achieve with an anamorphic adapter on any lens you have (including mobile!). And if your lens doesn't match our current diameters, you can get one larger than your lens and use a step-up ring to bridge the gap.

It’s easy: screw it on your lens and let it rip. Flares can be difficult to replicate during the post-production process, making the use of a filter more favorable. The CineFlare includes a ‘Precision Rotation Mechanism’ that adjusts flare angles in any direction. Switch it up, baby! No need to stick to the classic horizontal lines; spice your image with diagonal or vertical streaks.
Mobile photography and filmmaking are our bread and butter, so we made this filter compatible with all our M-Series Lenses using our 67mm M-Series Lens Filter Mount. You can also pop this filter onto almost any phone using our 67mm Phone Filter Mount.
Portability and versatile use cases are always at the forefront of our minds when engineering the perfect product. As a team that’s always on the go, it's imperative our gear can come with. In turn, we make our filters as thin as possible while maintaining durable strength for long-lasting quality. Thinner filters also allow us to remove vignetting and keep a low profile should you stack filters.
So yes, this completely enables you to stack one of our famous CineBloom Filters over the CineFlare Streak.



Lens coatings make all the difference when it comes to image quality. We never skimp on glass performance and added not one, not two, not three, but 30 layers of advanced coating: anti-scratch, anti-reflection, anti-oil, and hydrophobic coatings. Take this bad boy anywhere; we dare you.
And, of course, CineFlare is dressed in that famous red wrap to let everyone know Moment made it. We toot our own horn a lot; sorry about that (but not at all).
The filmmakers are stoked for an affordable alternative to Holly-wood style quality. Anamorphic lenses are, quite literally, up to $40,000 and over. A lens filter under $100 complements my day-to-day footage, boasting a beautiful image in tandem with my camera of choice. No, it won’t replace that anamorphic trait, but the flares offer a stunning addition. Plus, it’s a lot easier to use.
More importantly, the streak is lovely on screen. They are bold and concentrated among higher-contrast light while more subtle against dimmer hues. The color of your streaks might differ depending on your vibe, too. I prefer to use the Gold streak against my Southern Californian environments, but the Blue streaks offer a nice Sci-Fi feel.
Though CineFlare was initially geared toward filmmakers, photographers can utilize it for an added movie-like flare. We don’t discriminate.
