- In this video I test & review the new Pro Series 2X Tele lens from Beastgrip shooting with an iPhone 12 Pro Max and FiLMiC Pro LogV3.
Note: Beastgrip states this lens is designed to work with iPhones only and NOT Androids. ALSO, this lens works on the iPhone 12 and earlier. For iPhone 13 or later do not get this one.

I was curious about this for an 85mm equivalent on my iPhone se 2020, I love the dynamic range but I'd love to take closer portraits since the portrait mode is only 1 camera looks amazing!
I wonder how this Beastgrip 2* telephoto lens performs compared to the Beastgrip 3* telephoto lens model... Nice review though..👍🏽
Will try to do a comparison. The 3X is always out of stock it seems though! Thanks for watching.
@@iphoneographers I’ll be expecting it and thank you for the video.
This is off topic but would you mind sharing a link to your red/grey shoes please. Thanks.
Your video is amazing!
Can you please try this on the iPhone tele on tele 13 pro max ?
How do you like moment lenses compared to the Beastgrip Pro lenses?
They are both very good, though I tend to use the Moment more because of their simplicity mounting on their cases. Optics quality I would say they’re very similar. So it really depends on what type of shooting you’re going to do and the ecosystem you want to invest in. For run and gun I would go with Moment, for more serious setups using the Beastgrip Pro or Beastcage then Beastgrip are a great way to go.
@@iphoneographers Thank you for the reply! Great suggestion!
Nice & Thanks :)
Wondering the difference between the pro series and the m series
Pretty sure the M Series have been discontinued, so they’re older models with a different mount. The Pro series are all 37mm mount.
What are your thoughts on the new 1.7x tele lens that is going to be released by beast grip?
Hoping to get one to check it out, but, their 1.33X anamorphic MK2 is excellent and so hopefully it’ll be similar quality. This one no longer works properly with the larger sensor phones.
When you mentioned putting a monitor on is that so you can see the images when the shooting angle is extreme?
Yeah that and sometimes it’s hard to see the screen due to bright sunlight.
@@iphoneographers what monitor can i use to remote view an iphone screen im trying to find something to do that
Have you tried Filmic Remote? Works with a second phone or iPad as a monitor that you can also control the settings… apps.apple.com/us/app/filmic-remote/id661488661
@@iphoneographers Im starting to realize thats my only option for now
My setup: MOZA Mini P + case PolarPro (12 Pro Max) + moment anamorphic + 62 mm Freewell Mist Edition 6-9 + Sirui 60mm + Sirui 18mm v2 + CPL 👋🏻😎
How do you like it
@@LouisLuzuka Without unnecessary body kits, on the whole I am satisfied 😎👍🏻
@@aleksandrgarudazubov6846 I'm trying to decide what I wanna build for my kit... if theres only 1 lens you can't live without which one would it be?
@@aleksandrgarudazubov6846 does the 62mm get you some background blur? I'm so interested in that!
@@LouisLuzuka this is a 62mm mouth filter, the filter gives an incredible cinematic effect when shooting in the evening (where there is neon light) 👍🏻
What’s the difference between this lens and the new Pro Series 1.7x Telephoto Lens?
The new one is designed to work with the larger sensor iPhones, meaning the 13 and 14. The one in this video is good for iPhone 12 or earlier.
to be clear your saying that I can use moment lens with this BeastGrip (I want to get the beast grip for iPhone X) id like to use moment lens instead of beast grip lens
Yes you can with this one, but I am not sure though about the iPhone X cage version. Just double check the specs before you buy one for that purpose.
Hi there,
I have a similar setup, what bag would you recommend to carry the gear around?
I just purchased a beastcage, two handles, two pro lenses and freewell 77mm vnd kit.
Many thanks!

Cool kit! I tend to use Portabrace bags or Think Tank too. I’ve been meaning to make a video about bags as that’s a good question. Search those two brands and you’ll find something good, but they’re not cheap. A good bag will last a long time though.
Hey dude, nice video. Not a fan of the Beastgrip stuff. But, I do have a question and hope you can do a video on the latest Filmic Pro as it seems to be having some audio issues. I shoot on iPhone 11 and since the update, the audio quality really dropped.
Quality as in the actual sound or in the functionality of the audio controls?
@@iphoneographers The actual sound. I used to be able to set automatic gain correction when I plugged in my Boya wireless transmitter, which really helped with audio peaking. But now, when I plug in the Boya, or even a wired lav, the automatic gain correction blanks off I you know what I mean, can't turn it on. The voice processing function also can't be turned on. So weird, and it only started doing this recently after they moved the audio control over to the right with that slider for gain.
Interesting. I haven’t noticed any issues but also haven’t used auto gain recently as I turn that off and set it manually. I’ll look into it though.
@@iphoneographers Thank you .
Quick question , do you need the beastgrip cage if you’re using their lens ?
You could use the cage or their mainstay the Beastgrip Pro. Believe the mount is 37mm, so you could also use another brand as long as it has that mount.
Hope my beastgrip lenses work with the new iPhone 13 pro. I have the 12 pro cage and will have to sell it for the beastgrip but with the camera bumps on the new phone, I hope the lenses still align correctly
Definitely. Heard Moment are working, so hopefully Beastgrip will as well.
Did it work with your 13 pro?
@@remscape the 2x pro tele lens did after a quick test. Haven’t tried my anamorphic lenses yet, in the middle of moving but I’ll get to them soon 🤙🏻 beastgrip is an awesome piece of gear
@@legniak1 Thanks! I have the 2x pro, anamorphic and beastgrip on the way! I'm excited to try it out.
Hi. I’ve been trying to use the 3X tele from Beastgrip with an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Terrible results so far, footage is unusable. I dont know if its because I am using the Beastgrip Pro instead of the Beastcage… any advice?
Unfortunately very few lenses work well on the 3x Tele. And as a matter of fact many don’t work well on the standard camera/lens on the 13 Pro Max. I did a video about a few lenses here… czcams.com/video/BRlHTxOMVBE/video.html
I’m not sure if lens manufacturers will make a lens for the new phone or wait and see what happens on the 14 because my suspicion is Apple is going to change it again. So it’s really a wait-and-see. For now I just mainly don’t use the 3x except for family kind of videos or photos.
@@iphoneographers thanks man, its a real pitty. I bought the upgrade kit from Beastgrip for proper alignment with the 13 pro max camera bump and had no trouble at all with the beastgrip wide lens though…
