Moment Phone Filter Mount vs Moment Lens Filter Mount - Must Have Mobile Filmmaking Gear

If you're a mobile filmmaker then chances are you've considered an iPhone filter mount or an Android filter mount for more control over your exposure. In the 180 degree rule shutter speed is so important - it should be 2x your frame rate.
24fps = 1/48 shutter speed
60fps = 1/120 shutter speed
240fps = 1/480 shutter speed
But, what's the best way to mount filters to your phone? In this video, we'll compare Moment Phone Filter Mount vs Moment Lens Filter Mount to try to answer that question. Moment is undoubtedly one of the best companies on the market for mobile filmmaking accessories
and both of these options present clear pros and cons.
Learn about how the Moment Phone Filter Mount is fast and efficient but doesn't allow you to mount your Moment lenses and how the Moment Lens Filter Mount takes more time to use but does allow you to mount every Moment lens but the 14mm fisheye.

Unfortunately those adapters don't come with the T-Series version of the lens filter mount so the 18MM sticks out past the ring preventing you from attaching any filters. You have to add on an extension ring which of course doesn't come with it. Really sucks because I was excited to start using it as soon as I got it. Now I have to wait for the extension ring.

[@photoswithphones]

Sorry - t series didn’t exist when I made the video. I’ll pin this comment though so hopefully others will see 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Great videos dude! You’ve got a talent for this. I really like the narrative style, personality/jokes you add. Keep up the good work!

[@photoswithphones]

Thanks so much for the kind words Sean!

exactly what I needed at this time for the decisions I am making, thanks dude

[@photoswithphones]

Great to hear it Patrick. I hope you're happy with your purchase!!

[@AKHILPOKLE]

Thanks for the informative video! May I know the gap between the screw and filter holder ? I have a dbrand case and was wondering if the filter clip will fit along with case.

[@jamesss1953]

This is exactly the information I was looking for

[@photoswithphones]

Great to hear!!

[@TaleOfTwoIdiots]

That lake behind you looked so familiar…and then I noticed your’e from Virginia (too). Great video. I’m in the process of transitioning away from my M43 setup to my iPhone and have debating about a filter size to settle on that combines portability (small) and the ability to deal with the every evolving shape of the phone. The struggle continues.

[@photoswithphones]

I sure love VA. I use 67mm and that works. I've seen some companies like Sandmarc and moment do 37mm. Hope this helps!!

[@sptheegoat]

Thank you! Exactly the explanation I was looking fro!

Legit informative vid bro. Highly appreciated 🙏

[@photoswithphones]

Thanks for the kind words!!

[@agileborderterriers]

Great video with good info. I have two questions: What happened when you tried to use the lens filter mount on the 14mm Fisheye lens? Did you get vignetting or was it just not possible to mount the lens filter mount on that m9 ent lens? Have you ever tried to attach a lens hood to either the phone filter mount or the lens filter mount (just the lens hood with no filter.). If I get a lens hood with 67mm threads, or a lens hood that just slips over a lens and has a stretchy hole, I don’t see why this would not be possible. But when talking to Moment by email they say it is not possible. I’m just wondering why not.

[@photoswithphones]

1. You just can't attach any mounts to the 14mm because of how rounded the lens is. Perhaps you could build something to workaround this issue, but neither of Moment's options will work. 2. I don't entirely understand why you would want to attach the lens hood? You can use the macro lens hood on the macro lens.

[@edmundwongprop]

Hi, first off, super informative video, love it! Just a quick question: When using the Lens Filter Mount, can I mount the filters onto the phone directly or does the filter have to be attached to the Moment Lens?

[@photoswithphones]

Edmund, firstly thanks for the kind words! To answer your question, this one (www.shopmoment.com/products/67mm-filter-mount/?irclickid=2ai05px90xyNUUawI%3A3QP05LUkDUMwW0ESf2yc0&irgwc=1&partner_id=2062466&timestamp=1661204384847) mounts directly to your phone. This one (www.shopmoment.com/products/67mm-lens-filter-mount?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlJunkOu49gIV1NrICh0lBgiDEAAYASAAEgIXHPD_BwE&irclickid=2ai05px90xyNUUawI%3A3QP05LUkDUMwXkESf2yc0&irgwc=1&partner_id=2062466&timestamp=1661204452736) must be mounted to a Moment lens which must be mounted to the M-Series Case, M-Series Lens Mount, or one of BeastGrip's mounting options. I hope this helps! If you need some clarification, don't hesitate to ask. These product names are super confusing lolol

[@sixtyforty9349]

Thanks for the review! Can you use a MagSafe tripod mount whilst using a Moment Phone Filter Mount? (not the moment Lens Filter Mount on top of Moment lenses.) I can see that if I use the Moment Lens Filter Mount it creates enough height so it won't crash with the MagSafe accessories. I use iPhone 13 pro and the magsafe coverage area is already pretty close to the camera unit. I would like to know if I can use both. Thanks in advance!

[@photoswithphones]

Sorry for the delay in responding! You can twist the microphone mount on the magasfe tripod so that it's angled out of the way of the filter mount. Worst case scenario you can screw the mount snuggly onto the back of the magsafe tripod. I hope this helps!!

[@andersn1989]

Nice video! Have you tried if vignetting would be a problem if you would mount 2x77mm filters with a step-up adapter (1 ND + 1 black mist) - if it would cause vignetting?Because Moment say they don't recommend it on the lens filter mount and for the other mount they don't say.

[@photoswithphones]

I wish I could help but I don’t have the necessary filters to test. Sorry!

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

great! I just got my 15 pro max and I want to try using variable ND filters outside- this Moment 67mm Phone Filter Mount -the one in your video looks good. It's a bit too big at 67mm for the filter...I guess there is nothing smaller that will cover the 3 lenses on the pro max iphones...and I can use my own variable ND filters? I worry a bit about scratching the screen of the phone-or putting too much pressure. Does the clamp covers too much of the screen? I want to use it with black magic app for video and I think it will not cover important parts of the screen while using the app. Thanks for the video

[@photoswithphones]

You make solid points. I wouldn’t worry about scratching the screen as the only part of the mount that touches the screen has a nice felt pad on the contact point. Your other concern, however, is legitimate. I really don’t like how much of the screen becomes unusable when I use the Phone Filter Mount which is why I really don’t use it all that much. If you’re serious about mobile filmmaking and you want a work around and aren’t worried about expense, I would look into BeastGrip’s options. You’ll find something workable that mounts directly into the BeastCage - a iPhone specific case/rig contraption. I hope this helps and I’m sorry for the delayed response!!

[@igorchagas2040]

Hey man! Great video! Do you know if the lens filter mount works with ulanzi anamorphic lenses as well? I'm from Brazil and it's kinda hard to find these informations. Thanks for your support!

[@photoswithphones]

Igor - thanks for the kind words. As for your question, I don't have the Ulanzi anamorphic lenses to test for certain. That being said, I would think the 1.33x lens would work and the 1.55x lens would not. I hope this helps!

[@markymaclmb]

@@photoswithphones I wonder would it be ok to just order the 52mm Cinema Bloom Filters to put onto a Ulanzi anamorphic 1.55XT that comes with a filter adapter for 52 mm. My real question is, why even go up to a 67 when they give us a 52mm filter adapter already? Is it because to avoid Vinettes or is it to get as much light into the lens as possible? Also I will be using it with a Smooth 4 stabilizer and don't need the unnecessary weight. But if the 67mm Filters have a legit reason as to why it is better than a 52mm filter (which can also be ordered from Moment) then I might have to invest in both camera and lens 67mm adapters. Let me know what you think sir.

[@erocgr00t6]

Just got mine. The Filter mount with 67mm ND2 -400. Love the combo Nice hat BTW I am from Augusta and next week the party begins

[@photoswithphones]

Hope you enjoy the gear at least half as much as I'm going to enjoy watching the Masters!!!

[@tjohnnav]

Thank you ..very helpful

[@photoswithphones]

You're welcome - glad you enjoyed!!

[@livingtx]

Which filter (if any) would I need to record a marching band at an outdoor football stadium at night? The stadium lights light up the field.

[@photoswithphones]

Good question. Without being on the field and doing some testing, I hesitate to give a definitive answer. If you go onto the field and use manual exposure, what is the Shutter Speed and ISO? If the ISO is low and the shutter speed is right at or slightly more than 2x the frame rate then you shouldn't need a filter. If your shutter speed is too high, you may look into a VND filter. I hope this helps!

[@PatrickNanEdits]

For anamorphic lens, is it better to use the 67 mm ND filter or 62 mm?

[@photoswithphones]

Patrick - good question. I recommend the 67mm, especially if you'll need to transition to Moment's new T-Series lenses down the line. Hope this helps and sorry for the delay!!

[@justcallmesando]

Any idea if this works on a Vivo X80 Pro smartphone?

[@EmmanuelOmojo]

Hello, can this filter and anarmophic lens work well with the ziyun smooth 5

[@photoswithphones]

Great question! The answer is yes so long as you have plenty of counterweights to balance the gimbal. I've done it with my Zhiyun Smooth 4 but it takes me a little while to get the balancing correct.

[@illustratedWORD]

I bought the most recent Moment 67mm "snap on" filter adapter for the iPhone 14Pro/max only. I regret that purchase. I should've gone with the clip on phone filter mount you show in this video. The "snap on" adapter is made of bendable plastic material. Their website says the decision was to cut down on weight, but it means that the filter needs to be attached in two steps -- (1) Requires TWO hands to snap in before (2) carefully screwing the filter into the plastic threading. IF (after multiple attempts) you were careful to snap the plastic filter adapter on correctly, it should stay in place but (for me) this attachment method doesn't install confidence with costly filters and is too fiddly when wanting to work quickly on-the-go. I’m considering switching to the clip-on version (you show in video) for faster, secure, one-handed filter swaps on-the-go. Don't like how clip method covers the corner of back screen (slightly cover the app interface) but I'm willing to make this sacrifice over using the snap on plastic mount …assuming it fits fine with iPhone 14Pro. (?) Has anyone used this clip-on filter adapter with an iPhone 14 Pro or Max? Any issues? Does it fit correctly and snug over all lenses. Any vignetting with standard-wide or ultra-wide lenses? I’m using a Moment case and the Beastcam app as my primary app. I own the Moment Lens filter mount for my Moment 58mm lens. I am pleased with this mount for a fast, secure attachment. It's a solid metal no-flex construction and the rubber insert seems to hold it secure with "normal use".

[@photoswithphones]

Tim - I appreciate all your thoughts here! I haven't used the new snap-in filter mount from Moment but I do not like the new snap on lens mounts so I'm not surprised you've had the experience that you've had. I'm getting the 14 Pro soon enough so expect a video where I discuss attaching these filters.

[@casimiromediaproductions]

I'm new to this what should I buy and I use an android phone just want to improve for far away better view.

[@photoswithphones]

Good question! If you can get an M-Series case for your Android then do so. Then, add the 58mm tele for the additional 2x optical zoom. Hope this helps!!

[@notmyname8527]

60USD for the adaptor with shipping? Got it 3d printed to suit my camera too

[@photoswithphones]

I'd love to try to 3-D print some gear!! That's dopeeeee

[@GetOutSmore]

Could you use any lens filter in that mount as long as it’s the right size or does it need to be a Moment filter?

[@photoswithphones]

Any filter that has a thread should work. You can also use filters of different sizes provided you're also utilizing step-up rings. I hope this helps!

[@plugpenguin1660]

do you think the clip on style will fit a iPhone 15 pro?

[@photoswithphones]

Good question. I don't know because I don't have the iPhone 15 yet. I did notice today that Moment came out with a new clip-on for T-Series lenses - partner.shopmoment.com/Y93VYK

[@lovebags5139]

Is there a way to improve the iPhone 13 pro Max low light performance?

[@photoswithphones]

Great question! Are you talking for photos or videos? The answer for both is yes, but the explanation for each is different so just let me know :)

[@lepancho8122]

What tripod are you using? Does it offer good enough stabilization?

[@photoswithphones]

It's a Joby Gorillapod. It's ok but if you want stable video I recommend a gimbal.

[@MrN0izemaker]

The filter mount is working with s21 ultra without the moment case?

[@photoswithphones]

It absolutely should!

[@PRODIGY5369]

I am currently buying Moment gear. I have a Pixel 6 Pro. Unfortunately their current universal phone filter mount is not compatible. Which means Pixel owners can only use filters on a lens attached to the main wide camera. Which is tragic because the Pixel has such a wonderful ultra wide and the 4x Tele (when it's truly optical and not cropping). I'd really love to make use of my phone lenses with filters. I understand the popularity with iOS devices, which is easier for them. I just hope that if they can design an Android case that can accept lenses for various Android devices - that they can offer solutions for Android filter attachments on our phones lenses. ❤️

[@photoswithphones]

I agree!! I tested the Pixel 6 Pro with moment lenses and was very disappointed.

[@PRODIGY5369]

I have the P6P moment case so I can attach lens and filters to main camera. What I did was a DIY job on another P6P case with a glued on step up filter ring to enable me to use 67mm filters over all camera. It works a treat. 😘

@@photoswithphones that would be great. Cause I love this phone but aftermarket filters are slim to none.
