In this part of the video, the YouTuber is comparing the Beast Grip three times pro series lens with the Ulanzi 65 millimeter tele conversion lens. They discuss the benefits of using a telephoto lens with a smartphone to achieve a shallow depth of field and blurry backgrounds in videos. The conversion lenses sit over the smartphone lens to provide similar effects to using long lenses. The YouTuber chose these two lenses for their filmmaking needs to capture close-ups with a blurry background. The downside of conversion lenses is lower-grade glass that may cause distortion and chromatic aberrations. Using these tele lenses allows the filmmaker to stand a bit further back when shooting.

In this segment of the video, the comparison is made between the Beastgrip and Ulanzi lenses for smartphones. The Beastgrip lens is heavier and larger than the Ulanzi lens, potentially making it less suitable for use with a gimbal. Proper mounting of the conversion lens close to the smartphone lens is essential to minimize shadowing and image aberrations. The Ulanzi lens is noted to be more forgiving in terms of mounting. During a portrait test, it is observed that both lenses offer varying levels of magnification, with the Beastgrip providing the most and the inbuilt lens the least. Both lenses offer shallow depth of field for filming people, with minimal shadowing and chromatic aberrations when used correctly. Different devices and mounting systems may yield different results.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the differences between lenses such as the Ulanzi and Beastgrip, the magnification and cost trade-offs. They highlight the benefits of using the Beastgrip depth of field adapter with a proper lens over the three times tele lens. The Ulensii lens is praised for its quality despite being $25, offering a great image quality. The speaker expresses interest in using these lenses in future episodes, keeping the Ulanzi for medium close-ups and the Beastgrip for close-ups. They encourage viewers to share their thoughts on the lenses and wrap up by asking for likes, subscriptions, and notifications for future videos.
