This is a bundle built around Sirui's Saturn 1.6x full-frame anamorphic lens, paired with the SQ75 carbon fiber video tripod and S5 fluid head. The lens is the draw: a 1.6x squeeze gives a wide 2.4:1-style frame from a 16:9 sensor, with oval bokeh and horizontal streak flares, and the carbon fiber barrel keeps it light for gimbal and handheld work. The tripod and head turn it into a ready-to-shoot support package for solo filmmakers. Against dedicated cine anamorphics it is far lighter and cheaper to own, but it is a manual, single-focal-length lens with no electronics, so autofocus and lens metadata are off the table.

Owners of the Saturn line praise the light carbon fiber build and the anamorphic character, especially the oval bokeh and streak flares. The common complaints are the manual operation and the need to desqueeze in monitoring.
