Beastgrip, in my opinion, is always at the top of the mobile lens/accessories game. They are constantly updating and it really shows their commitment to their customers and our craft. Great video Blake! Love the channel and podcast.

[@iphoneographers]

Yeah I definitely agree. Thanks for watching and listening to podcast!

[@joyoffilming9500]

A year later, after having watched this video from you, I received my beast cage and the anamorphic 1.33 lens. Just awesome with my iPhone 13 Pro Max put into Prores 422 HLG. During daylight, footage comes very close to my S1H with a Sirui 50mm full frame. And, the case is built like a tank as is the lens.

[@iSpike]

I do like Beastgrip but I will stay with my SmallRig cage & Moment lenses 👍🏻. Keep up the awesome videos mate. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺✌🏻

[@DriveVibeAuto]

FYI you can flip the moment plate upside down so it works on the telephoto side.

[@enriquepadilla8826]

The more I think about this setup the more I like it. It's a setup that's phone, camera & rig agnostic. As long as you have a way to mount the filter to a phone, camera or rig you're good. I've always shied away from buying anything that's proprietary.

[@CarinaKircher]

Dankeschön for this informative video. Greetings from Germany!

[@gabriel-mckee]

Great video; thanks for sharing!

[@iamzebra7025]

Hay man. Thanks again for great video.. two things: Moment has a filter adaptor you could probably attach to the cage and use stepuprings BUT personally I have had huge problems with the Moment mount. Once you attach the lens-filter-combination or even just the filter you must never turn the filter (vnd or pola f.ex) counter clock wise otherwise you run the risk that the whole system deattaches and falls to the ground🤔 I hope this will correct itself once I get the Beastcage (this happens with their own plastic mounts) otherwise I have lenses that I dont want to use anymore…it’s just not something you want to think about. I hope this is not a universal problem with mobile lenses-you should be able to securely attach the lens to its mount. Simple as that. Anyway. Thanks and by the way: what is the quick lock you use under the Beasthandle? Have great weekend👍

[@iphoneographers]

Yeah I like Moment lenses but their filter mounts just slip on, at least the ones that I use. The ones that go over the end of the lens. That’s why I like the Beastgrip for more secure setups. And then this new filter mount adapter is great when you don’t use lenses. I made a video about rigging a Moment lens and a filter… kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJzWpKp7bMx8qbs. And I’m using a Beast handle which there’s a link in the description and then a Ulanzi quick release amzn.to/3AaZ0jC. Thanks for watching!

[@umbertoaguiar]

Moondog Labs Multi-Camera 52mm Filter Mount V3 for Select Moment iPhone Bayonet Cases. If you want to use 52 mm nd filters instead of 58 mm with the Beastgrip cage then the new MoondogLabs filter mount will do the job. I attached it to the Moment bayonet and then screwed on a B+W 52 mm VND filter.

[@iphoneographers]

Cool. Yeah I like that. And it works for using one lens at a time. But then you have to switch them out to use the other one and of course it doesn’t work with the Ultra Wide using it on the Beastcage.

[@FLG8r]

cool ... looks like you can use a Moondog 1.33x anamorphic lens with 37 mm thread. but, i'm waiting for the iPhone 14 which would be a step up from my iPhone X.

[@ririlan2137]

Interesting product

[@ianharper6015]

Thanks for a really interesting video. The filter adapter is a most welcome addition but I do wonder if the large gap at the bottom of the adapter will allow light in and, when used with ND100, will spoil the image quality. I'd be most interested in hearing your thoughts.

[@iphoneographers]

The gap at the bottom is for the Ultra Wide, at least if I’m understanding what you’re saying. So in my initial use so far it works well.

[@chris]

Does it work with the new 14 Pro Max or do we have to wait for them to design a new cage since the dimensions are slightly different?

[@iphoneographers]

We don’t know for sure yet, but it’s most likely that this cage will not work and a new one will be forthcoming.

[@Deckardrick007]

Do you have a recommendation or video of what Polarizing filter one can use on their iPhone? Thanks!!

[@iphoneographers]

It depends on what setup you’re using and what your trying to shoot. I touch on CPL using this Sherpa system… kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6iQZI2uit-Km8U But you could buy a polarizer and put it on a Beastgrip lens, etc.

[@dialogandointerculturalmente]

do you prefer Beast case or Smallrig for using filters???

[@albertodijols1671]

🙏✝️🙏amen🙏✝️🙏

[@enriquepadilla8826]

Great video! I'm new to iPhone photography and looking into a similar setup. I'm wondering if the thread pitch is the same across different brand step-up rings and filters?

[@iphoneographers]

Yes, you can use any brand step-up rings or filters.

[@enriquepadilla8826]

@@iphoneographers thank you

[@Tonellacam]

I’m torn between the beastgrip pro and the beastcage , I feel like the beastcage will be better if putting on gimbal and beastgrip pro better for handheld things

[@iphoneographers]

They’re both solid options. The nice thing about the Beastgrip Pro is it’s universal and will carry across different phones. The Beastcage is for one device only, but it’s great.

[@cynicroompromuevetumarca]

Hola me gustaría saber si lo puedo usar con un Huawei p30 pro ?

[@Hatuey73]

Cool, thanks again! I’m going to order one ☝🏽I’m sure if I look around previous videos I’ll find the answer to these 2 questions, but I’m being lazy so I’ll ask here. How are you attaching your rig to that table top tripod? And that extra bit, on top for adding accessories ? Who makes it??

[@iphoneographers]

I’m using the Beast Handle (link in description) along with a quick release plate from Ulanzi amzn.to/3AaZ0jC. And the other is a Nato rail from Smallrig like this amzn.to/3c1f4wA. Thanks for watching!

[@Hatuey73]

@@iphoneographers Great Video again! Thank you Blake. I had a box from B&H come in with my own BG cage and some accessories with a lens. After watching your last videos on the short movie you recently made I followed the gear list and order my own. I’m ready to keep learning and inspired to get better. Thanks again!

[@japan-black]

Great video 👍 What small quick release tripod setup is that though?

[@iphoneographers]

All gear should be linked in the description, but if memory serves that’s from SmallRig (I can’t watch the video to confirm at the moment).

[@japan-black]

@@iphoneographers found it. Thank you 🙏👍😊

[@anthonydauer]

Thanks! Just ordered it. What NATO rail are you using?

[@iphoneographers]

That’s one from SmallRig… Believe it’s this one or very similar to it amzn.to/3c1f4wA. Thanks for watching!

[@reimsrep]

What’s that accessory attached on the outer cage frame beside the lens adapter?

[@iphoneographers]

That’s a small NATO rail. That way you can mount stuff on top like a monitor which is what I do… amzn.to/47DMcB8

[@theordinarydude2104]

What gimbal would you recommend for se with this cage?

[@iphoneographers]

The Crane M3 or similar is ideal… kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWSTZZyCgMxjoac

[@FreakMother]

Can the Beastcage aslo mount on tripod, to shoot Vertical Video?

[@iphoneographers]

The best way probably is to mount it horizontal and then tilt the tripod head 90 degrees. The cage itself really isn’t great for vertical shooting by itself.

[@Bigpil2u]

Is there any advantage to using a 77mm filter vs a 58mm filter on a setup like this?

[@sithmaster]

I would love to know more about as well..

[@3693-u8d]

heyhey，the mount for different lens is come together with the cage？ or have to buy seperately？

[@iphoneographers]

Different lens mounts come with the cage. The filter mount is separate.

[@3693-u8d]

@@iphoneographers ok，thanks！

[@jimbob7332]

how would I attach the beast cage to the DJI Ronin RS3?

[@jimbob7332]

Why 77 over 58 for the filters?

[@iphoneographers]

I use 77mm on other lenses/cameras so I don’t want to buy them twice. Otherwise 58mm are a nice compact size.

[@TonyBabarino]

2nd??

[@ystrooba]

Hi, can you tell me what quick release system you are using on the tripod?

[@iphoneographers]

Sure… Ulanzi Claw quick release geni.us/eoG7 (Amazon)

[@kaylooh]

Is there any beastcage compatible with the IPhone 13’? I don’t get why beastgrip don’t have the 13’ in the option

[@iphoneographers]

Pretty sure they only make the Beastcages for the pro or pro max models. For the standard models they recommend the Beast Grip Pro, which is excellent too - and universal so it’ll last over different phone models.

[@kaylooh]

@@iphoneographers I saw that one but all the necessary pieces such as the filter mount and cold shoe are sold out. Also, the beastcage bundle is a better deal and will come less expensive than the beastgrip pro including accessories. I find it a bit unfortunate cause the beastcage looks very practical for filming

[@iphoneographers]

The Beastgrip Pro comes built in with cold shoes and it has its own lens mount that you can add filters to and it’s less expensive. I’ve used one for years and it’s great. The Beastcage are great too of course, but they’re for specific iPhone models. amzn.to/3R0Wuon

[@kaylooh]

@@iphoneographers wow I get it now. Thank you!!

[@JustFelipeBrito]

So, just for some clarification here... If I use the Anamorphic 1.33x from BeastGrip and use the FreeWell Filters (that are magnetic filters with the proprietary case as far as I know), using this StepUp Ring I CAN couple it, right? Practical example: BeastGrip Anamorphic 1.33x Mk2 + FreeWell VNDX Mist 1-5. It works?

[@iphoneographers]

Yes, that’s what I do. Just get the right step-up to whatever you’re filter thread is, which probably is 67mm or 77mm.

[@KENNETHCARNIE]

Beastgrip needs to work with Samsung phones for cages.

[@iphoneographers]

That would be cool, but I don’t think they will. At least not anytime soon. For Androids they recommend the Beastgrip Pro universal cage.

[@sarikperchik5239]

Does it work with IPhone 13?

[@iphoneographers]

Their cages are for the Pro series phones, so 13 Pro or Pro Max.

[@ventclinic945]

Does it work with the iPhone 13 mini?

[@iphoneographers]

No. Pro or Pro Max.

[@ventclinic945]

@@iphoneographers thanks after checking my device I have the 13 it’s not a mini .. it has two cameras not three .. I’m new to iPhone so I didn’t know. So I guess it’s the pro and not the max … it’s definitely not the mini … I compared it to my girlfriend’s phone and she has the 12 which is way smaller than mine .. thanks I already have the beast cage coming from Amazon but I couldn’t find that 58mm on there so I’ll just click your link and buy from the website!
