Another Awesome video! I have been able to use my iPhone as my secondary camera after learning your techniques. I’m finding myself using more than my Sony at times too! Thank you!

[@BenettGraezer]

Thanks a lot 🙏🏻 Wow that‘s great to hear? good for you man 🔥

[@user-tk3cc2oo1h]

wow that's awesome, I'm sold.

Thank you for such a informal and educating video! Appreciate it!

Thanks!

[@theneonshed]

Great video Benett! I have this lens and love it!

[@BenettGraezer]

Great to hear!

[@pdcorlis]

Small Rig for the win! Thanks for the product reviews Benett! FWIW, I love working with a cage but anamorphic lenses really make it a challenge.

[@BenettGraezer]

Thx!

[@pdcorlis]

@@BenettGraezerQuick Question - do you stabilize your anamorphic footage in post?

[@BenettGraezer]

Yes I did and it stabilizes really well, no wobbling effects.

[@pdcorlis]

@@BenettGraezer Thanks so much! I think this sounds like a great solution for folks using cages to shoot with anamorphic lenses.

[@BenettGraezer]

Thx!

[@bobm6423]

any advantage of a rig like this and anamorphic lenses for still photography?

[@ananyosingh6217]

❤ from India . Your videos are really good and very informative. Really Love watching your videos man

[@BenettGraezer]

Thank you so much!

[@MoondustProductionFilms]

Great video Benett! I’d love to see you test the new SMALLRIG 1.33X Anamorphic Lens that just came out. Are they better?

[@BenettGraezer]

I will check it out

[@cristianangelescu8364]

Hi Benett! Can you please help me with an advice? I purchased this 1.55x lens to use with an iPhone 15 Pro. In the package there is also its support that attaches to the phone, it works ok, but it covers part of the screen and of course also certain functions. I would like to buy a cage, specifically the SmallRig 4397 Mobile Video Kit, but on the website it says that it is not compatible with the SmallRig 3578 1.55X, nor with the adapter for their magnetic filters. Did you somehow manage to test the compatibility so far? Am I throwing money out the window with this cage? Thank you!

[@bbkr6]

Wonderful work brother

[@BenettGraezer]

Thank you so much man 💯

[@peterjackson7937]

Excellent and informative video ,i would like to ask how you upload your iphone footage to pc for editing ? Keep up the great work.

[@BenettGraezer]

Thx a lot. Unfortunately I don‘t use pc however there certainly applications for pc that can help transfer iPhone footage.

[@briangraezer3416]

Love from Greece

[@BenettGraezer]

Thanks bro 👊🏻

[@edusaletti]

Amazing!

[@BenettGraezer]

Thanks!

[@DethronerX]

Is the oval bokeh vertical or horizontal, because Im looking for vertical and in this shot @0:23, it looks like horizontal.

[@nikolasivcev1262]

Does it reduce flare effect compared to stock lens

[@FrankErazo]

Definitely going to consider this brand instead of PolarPro. I live in South Texas, and it can get very hot. I also use my iPhone 13 Pro to film my son’s soccer games. I’ve noticed that my phone will overheat in the Polar Pro case. I have to turn my phone off at halftime so it can cool off. Small Rig’s cage may help prevent the overheating. Thank you for sharing this product. 😃 👍🏽

[@BenettGraezer]

Thanks for watching. Yes that‘s true as the back of the phone is exposed allowing it to cool off better.

[@paulosalazar]

Great video as always. How did you set up the bluetooth button to work with Filmic Pro? For me it only works with the regular camera app on Iphone

[@BenettGraezer]

At first it didn‘t work, however I found out that by enabling volume key trigger recording you can use the Bluetooth shutter.

[@paulosalazar]

@@BenettGraezer Thank you so much! It was the piece I was missing. Also thanks for the tip to disable “Stabilization” to remove the wobbliness. I was using a gimbal for that but sometimes for a simple shot I don`t want to carry a Gimbal

[@ReboneMora]

a-na-na-na! my new catch phrase 😂😂😂 great video

[@BenettGraezer]

Thanks buddy!

[@by.daekeryyy]

lens for a standard version of iphone? i have the iphone 13

[@CrankyCoder]

What do you use for audio recording? do you record external mics directly into the phone? how do you do that and keep the phone charging? I have been trying to find a way to do that and haven't had much luck.

[@BenettGraezer]

I will be releasing a video soon on that, but basically you would use a Belkin adapter with 4 usb c ports. It supports phone charging and you could also plug the Dji mic for audio and am ssd to record externally.

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

Can you use a smallrig iphone cage and Freewell Sherpa filters?

[@BenettGraezer]

No

[@efetack]

Helpful video thank you! Is it better to let the stabilization in the apps off when using Anamorphic lenses or turn it on once off the tripod?

[@BenettGraezer]

It best to keep it off

[@efetack]

Wow, thats the fastet response I had on KZbin so far. THANK YOU!!!@@BenettGraezer

[@harrypalmermedicaresolutions]

Do you have a video where you discuss filters that can be used with an iPhone 12 pro max in a smallrig cage? Apparently small rig does not have those lenses. I’d prefer quality lenses that mount onto the cage, not a clip on placed over the lenses. And unfortunately Freewell Sherpa system is also not for iPhone 12 Pro Max. Thanks.

[@BenettGraezer]

Have you looked into the Beastcage? There lenses come with a varaiety of filter options.

[@urbanfishingtv520]

Would this cage allow you to insert a dji mic receiver into the connection slot?

[@BenettGraezer]

With a usb-c extender you can 👍🏻

[@LaVozdelInmigranteTV]

Got me because the lens information. Wasn't expecting to become a paid commercial for the brand.

[@MuhibAfridiWeapons]

You made me UR fan

[@BenettGraezer]

Glad to have you!

[@SevaIbrahim]

Hello. Can i use this handle for vertical shooting?

[@BenettGraezer]

Absolutely 👍🏻

[@stitus4125]

Hey Benett, is there a way to use Anamorphic and ND filter at the same time?

[@BenettGraezer]

Yes the filters from Smallrig are stackable, and you can use their magnetic nd filter on top of the anamorphic lens

[@cinemagrip]

how does the cage feel in your pocket? Heavy and bulky or can be used as everyday cage

[@BenettGraezer]

No it doesn‘t feel heavy at all and yes you could use it as an everyday case

[@melenvideo]

Hi Benett is that SmallRig handle starting and stopping recording in Filmic Pro? I was told it only worked with native iPhone apps. Cheers Phil.

[@BenettGraezer]

Yes it also works inside filmic pro

[@melenvideo]

Superb. I did ask them but they said only Apple apps. Thanks for getting back to and it’s now worth getting one.

[@BenettGraezer]

It didn‘t work at first, what I did is enabled volume key trigger recording in the device setting inside FilMic Pro and that worked :)

[@angahdeden]

Good👍

[@BenettGraezer]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@AndreSjoberg]

Btw, now that Filmic has gone subscription-style, a new video comparing the new filmic pro vs Beastcam, which I still feel is not quiiiiiite up there, mainly because it doesn’t have a «true» manual mode where I can lock down the shutter speed properly and just use iso and aputure (since it doesn’t have the «fake» aputure setting filmic has it feels kind of weird - but a proper test of them, and maybe latest version of moment camera as well, ir are there any other good, «pro» focused apps I haven’t heard about?

[@BenettGraezer]

Thanks for your suggestion, good idea is noted, will definitely be an interesting comparison 🔥

[@AndreSjoberg]

@@BenettGraezer Cool :) I *really* want to like Beastcam, but I’m struggling to get the same «flow» using it compared to Filmic Pro - not sure yet if it’s just me, but I miss small things like when I press a feature button in Beastcam like shutter and adjust it, and then adjust iso, it feels like beastcam is still doing lots of «intelligent» stuff with my image, brightening it up even though I want it dark, setting iso to 22 it goes darker but then suddenly brightens the image a tad - not sure what it is though, just doesn’t feel like I have the same control as in filmic, even though that has it’s problems as well :)

[@satohiroshi4364]

[@BenettGraezer]

I do like how filmic pro keeps their app up to date and now with the ability to import luts its even easier to get the desired loon you want

Hi Benett, can this be use with codesign of Brandon Li cage iPhone 15 pro max?

[@BenettGraezer]

Yes 👍🏻

[@ernestoserrano191]

@@BenettGraezer great thanks, coz I can’t find anything on KZbin and also on their website I don’t know why they are saying not compatible, so I’m wondering why. Hope you could make a small video testing it with BL Cage IP15pro max with smallrig anamorphic

Does it work with freewell labs system? I mean the rig

[@BenettGraezer]

No

[@jhenrigarrote]

I believe this is the most cheapest to achieve the “anamorphic look” as I did the same 😂 But I think this iPhone setup is only good for B-Roll, my next target would be either a G7 or GH5 with Sirui lens for my A-Roll 😊

[@BenettGraezer]

Yea for budget anamorphic shooting this is a good option. Siriu lenses are also great 👍🏻

[@whosane8172]

No but with the hohem MT2 👍🏻
